News was brought to town Tuesday morning that the Brown well, north of Dallas,
was sending out oil, and in the afternoon we took Gene Byerly’s automobile to the scene
of operations to see what was to be seen. YVe found the force just raising the last section
o f piping, preparatory to changing drills. The surrounding ground was covered with
debris, consisting of ground-up rock, through which the drill is now working, on top of
which was to be seen in considerable quantity a black substance that looked like crude
oil, felt like oil and refused to mix with other stuff. This black substance began to ar
rive at a depth of 300 feet, and still continues. Uncle Bill Brown says that it is his in-
I tention to keep on drilling for at least 1,500 feet, unless oil or something else be struck
in paying quantities before then. It is not tiie intention to shoot the well or to use a
blast in any way, shape or form. Rev. Marrs, the Texas oil expert, was shown the pro
wells who has been shown the sample concur in the opinion that oil has first been
struck for the first time in Western Oregon right here at our door. The boring is g o i n g
on at a point about a half mile north ot the Salem road, hack of Henry Brown’s barn,
and interested crowds of spectators are now daily watching developments. The striking
of oil will mean much to Dallas and vicinity, and prove a business reviver before une
qualed in our history. Further developm ents are being anxiously awaited by the prop

The poet’ s exclamation: ‘ O Life!
I feel the bounding in my veins,” is a
jovou« one. Persons that can rarely or
never make it, in honesty to themselves,
are amoung the unfortunate. They do
not live, but e x ist; for to live implies
more than to be. To live is to be well
and strong—to arise feeling equal to the
ordinary duties of the day, and to re
tire not overcome by them—to teel life
hounding in the veins. A medicine
that has made thousands of people,
men and women, well and strong has
accomplished a great work, bestowing
the richest blessings, and that medicine
is Hood’s Bars ipari 11a. The weak,
run-down, or nebiliated, from any
. cause, should not tail to take it. It
j builds up tlie whole system, changes
¡ exi«tance to life, and makes life more
these
i abounding. YVe are glad
words in its favor to the readers of our
columns.
