W OIL LEASES
ARE FILED HERE
Two oil leases have been filed
far record here covering land
about two "and one-half miles
southeast of St. Paul and two
.niios northwest of West Wood
uurn. The first lease was from Charles
Kdward Allenback and Wife to
Amos K. Black of Yamhill coun
ty,' and by Its terms Mr. Black or
his assigns were given exclusive
lights td all oil, petroleum and gas
that might accrue from drilling
u land owned by Mr. Allen bach
in sections 4 and 5, in township 5
south of range 2 west.
The grantee is also given the
fight to lay pipes, construct build
ings and tanks and to construct a
derrick for drilling purposes.
The lease also provides that
drilling for oil must begin with
in one year and that the grantor
shall be paid royalty of one-tenth
of all oil, gas or petroleum found
and that" the lease shall extend fo
a period of 40 years.
A lease with the same terms was
filed in which W. S. Bates and
wife are the grantors, and Amos
R. Black the grantee. The land
is In the same district as that
owned by Mr. Allenbach.
uiu timers recall that many
years ago, oil companies secured
lease from a number of farmers
in the St. Paul and West Wood
burn district, but at that time
nothing resulted from the drilling
for oil or gas.
TROOPS
BIBLE READING
CHINESE
GUARD CAPITAL
Poking, Dec. 29.' (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.)
China's capital is now guarded by
many soldiers who are credited
either with reading the Bible or
with hearing lessons from It. Gen
eral Feng Yu-Hsing, known as the
Christian general, who with hi?
troops recently moved from Honan
province to take over the guard
ing of Peking, announces that
about 20 per cent of his soldiers
have professed Christianity. As
General Feng has about 30,000
men In his command, it is esti
mated that about 6000 of them are
somewhat familiar with the Bible.
The general asserts he is an ard
ent Christian and as such feels It
U his duty to acquaint his follow
ers regarding the scriptures. Dur
ing the fighting with Chang Tso
Lin last spring, General Feng ai a
supporter of Wu Pel Fu, ordered
his men to show no quarter to the
enemy and he quoted the Bible to
justify bis stand. Shortly after
General Feng left Honan-'a few
weeks ago, the bandits beoaioe ac
tive in kidnaping missionaries.
