Ros Eeardslev, of the Columbia River
Development Co. was in this city this
week for the purpose of leasing more oil
lands in the Castle Rock oil district on
the Columbia river.
Mr. Beardeley states that the 'com
pany is-very much encouraged over the
oil prospects. An oil expert from Ohio
who recently inspected .the district lias
made a very encouraging report.
The Columbia River Development
Company, composed of Heppner and
Arlington people was organized last
spring, and has been boring with a
churn drill.
Two wells have been bored, the first
one at Alder creek where a hale was put
down 100 feet. The drill was moved to
the mouth of Dead Canyon.
When the drill reached a depth of 114
feet at Dead Canyon, there was such a
flow of water that drill operations were
stopped. The water still continues to
flow and in spouting out of the ground
makes a noise that can be heard for
quite a distaoce.
Drill operations will be commenced
again in a few days.
Whether oil is found or not, the dis
covery of artesian water in this portion
of the country along the Columbia
known as the sand country, is of no
little importance. The application of
waer would transform this now barren
waste into a rich and productive dis
trict that would support thousands of
people.
Already the discovery of watpr has
created quite an interest in this district.
Several surveying parties are row on

sout of Castle Rock.
The artesian water found shows a
temperature of (5?) degrees.
As the altitude is only Iron 200 to 300
feet above sea level in a good portion of
the sand country, it is thought there
will be plenty of water on both sides of
the river wherever wells are drilled
deep enough to be on a level with the
river.

Several Clips Have Ileen Kngaged

E. J. Burke, representing II. C. Judd
6c R"ot, of Hartford, Conn., has made
several wool contracts, for wool on the

contracted for are heavy and come from
the found country.

B. Finley, A. Andrews, and C. C.
Curtis. The clips in the aggregate will
amount to about 250,000 pounds, and the
price is in the neighborhood of 9X cents
per pound.
These prices are encouraging to the
sheepmen for it is fully a cent a pound
above the offerings at this time laBt

On this basis of ft'., cents for the
heavy wools, the light wools of the foot
