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."

3314 LICENSES
Up to date 3374 dog licenses have
been issued by County Clerk Hoyer
on dot's mostly In tho rural dis
tricts and tho fund has been added
to this year by $451.11 with $1283.-
12 as ft balance on hand as of
December 1.
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.

L
Chemawa, Or., Dos. 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.
