WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1925 PAGE TWO THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON News from Nearby Valley Points By .C a p 1 1 a I Journal's Special Correspondents from the Richest and j i Best Part of the State TO BE PROPOSED Petitions are la circulation for a market road change on the river . road south from here as proposed -to the county court a white ago by E. M. Croisan, and It is Indi cated that the court will approve the proposed road improvement If properly presented by petition. The plan as outlined by Croisan Is to change the course of the road where there Is a crossing going to the golf club and route it over thie crossing and construct about a mile and a halt of new road paral leling the Oregon Electric tracks on the west side. The road would then join into the old road. The old road would be left as it Is. Under the proposed plan the new road would eliminate the hills and grades for through travelers and stilt leave the old road fo: the use of those living along it The plan is said to meet general approval of those living in the neighborhood. At present the old road Is a market road for two miles beyond Livesley, but the cli;mge would make the now road a market road. The present plan is merely to es tablish n good graveled road over the new route, but It is probable It will eventually be paved. OIL DISCOVERY THEORIES TOLD B Silverlon, Oro., Dec. 9 (Special) A program which wilXl be of a little more Interest than usual will be that given at the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday evening. This will be the Christmas program and will consist of chorus, quar tets, duets, and solos. Of special interest will be the selections of Miss Lat:e LeLacheur, who la vis iting her niece, Mrs. W. L. McGln nla at her home on Coolidge street. I Miss LeLacheur, known on the stage as "The Silver Haired Lady with the Voice of Gold," is well known ns a concort singer through out tho cast and Canada. This Is her second season with the Pan tages. She will return In '.he spring to tho east where she will appear with tho Orpheum. Miss LeLacheur is also well known In eastern church circles having appeared a number of times at church concerts. Skepticism of the theory that oil discovery at Rlckreall last week was a result of a burs tod gasoline tank at tho opening of tho drain pipe at tho mouth of which the oil was found, Is contained In a com munication received by the Capital Journal Tuesiluy. In a letter to tho Journal, R. W. Hogg of Ulckreall, who was closo ly connoctod with the dlscovory, gives an account of the flurry that occurred last week. The lust oil was found there Monday morning of this week, he states. "Mr. Walt and I were digging away on the ditch today (Tuesday) Mi. Hogg writes, "when four busi ness men of Monmouth camo down and wo went to the south part of the field about 10 rods from where tho tile starts nt the highway, and dug up a tile to see If there was any trace of oil or gas there. While digging a Dallas man came also and no traco of oil or gas could be found or smelled. -Now wo are at .a loss what wo think." ' Hogg insists that neither ho nor Walt, upon whoso place the oil was found, ever gave out any def inite theory ns to the supposed or igin of tho liquid. "Mr. Walt re quested me to say," he writes, "that at no time did any of us give out any statement other than that we did not know where It came from but that our supposition was that It camo from tho hfghwny, as the pipe drains half a mile of the hiyhway. However, there was no water going into the tile tho day wo found oil." Mr. Hogg denies that tho oil could 'have been gasoline pulsing through tho drain pipe, but insists that tho product Is high grade oil In its natural state. Samples were taken by numerous visitors, ho says hundreds of persona visiting the scene of the flurry, and an tuples, with accompanying maps were sent as far as Los Angeles by visiting experts. "This Is the condition to date," he says, nnd we are wishing now that wo had taken the matter a little more seriously and obtained more samples of the oil, for oil It is, regardless of your correspon dent's statements."

Last year a total of 2253 licenses were Issued for tho entire year, showing that a salutary effect tho now law had in bringing in re turns on licenses. Under the now law, non-payment of liconso for a certain period causes the assess ment of a double fee, with the pos sibility of a Jail sentenco for the party failing to puy. Roturns from dog llcnses are used in paying claims for domestic animals which are killed, maimed or injured by dogs, and the bar ances show that over two-thirds of the fund hus boon paid out for that purpose. The top figure eetl mdted for licenses this year was :15U0, and tags were provided for that number, which has nearly been reached. MRS. GEISER HOSTESS AT SHOWER PARTY SUverton, Or., Dec, 9.

Officials of the Indian school are hoping that the appropriation for next year will be much larger tliau heretofore and ore watching the trend of affairs in Washington with keen interest. Congreas con vened Monday alter one of ite longest vacations In years. Keener interest is being tanen In tho af fairs this year due to the fact that L. C. Cramton, congressman from Lansing, Mich., spent nearly three hours visiting the' Indian school last September. Mr. Cramton Is chairman of the house committee on appropriations and visited every department of the Indian school ou a full and complete inspection of the school with the expressed purpose of as certaining the conditions of the school in relation to its needs. " It Is a knowu fact that tho Che mawa school has been running oni a smaller appropriation than It needs. Each yoar the number of! students cared for has exceeded the amount appropriated. Two years ago the school cared for nearly 950 students with an ap propriation for only 750. Out of this fund the school must feed and clothe the students, pay for their books, pay the instructors and meet other Incidentals that are bound to arise. Harwood Hail, superintendent ot tho Indian school, was highly pleased with Mr. Cramton's talk while here. Mr. Cramton promised to do all that he could to enlarge the appropriation, claiming that the school really needed more mon ey to run oa and also was in need of some new buildings. During his visit to the west Mr. Cramton visited 25 Indian reserva tions and 12 non-reservation schools. He seemed especially en thufifnstlc over the possibilities of L'liemawa.
