A private letter from a disinterested person at Payette, Idaho, Informs the Pendleton East Oregonian that the alleged "oil gusher" which has been advertised extensively in Poitlnnd, Boise and other papers, is a fake pure and simple. No oil is gushing from the well and there is but little sign of oil in the water drawn from the well. Last Saturday at the close of work by the oil drilling outfit an explosion took place in the well and sand and water were thrown a great distance, but no sign of oil was found on the adjacent buildings following the explosion, and it is seriously suspected that instead of it being an explosion of oil or gas as was advertised, that a slick of dynamite was exploded in the bole to boost the price of oil stock in Payette. threshing on County Clerk J.

The addition of another train daily between La Grande and EL in has en abled the Elgin-Joseph stage company to make a chan ge in the schedule of the of the outbound stpge that is a time saver and very welcome to residents of this valley. The Elgin stage now leaves Enterprise at 7 a. ni. instead of 5 a. m., and leaves the other towns, Joseph, Lostine and Wallowa, two hours later, likewise. It arrives at Elgin at 5 p. ni., allowing three hours leeway to make the extra train that is timed to leave Elgin at 8 p. ni. and arrive at La Grande at 9:30 p. m. in ample time to make connections with both east and west bound trains on the main line. This enables Vallowa county people to spend the two houi s at home instead of in the dingy station at La Grande. It also gives the upper valley people a chance to get breakfast at home before leaving on the stage. Postmaster Bell gives tho following hours of closing mails: Mail for Joseph closes at 8 p. m. ; mail for down valley points, Elgin, etc., at 0 a. m. The inbound stage changes to winter schedule Friday. The train schedule on the Elgin branch is as follows: Regular Els in train leaves La Grande at 10 a. in., arrives at Elgin at 11:45 a. m.; return -ning leaves 2:30 p. m. and reaches La Grande at 4:30 p. m. The extra train leaves La Grande at 6:30 p. ni., arrives at Elgin at 7 :30 p. in. ; r. turni ug leaves at 8 p. ni. and reaches La Grande at 9:30 p. m. Central Oregon Capitalists Here W. H.
