Payette Gusher A Fake.
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.

Change of Time
Outbound Stage
Notice to Settle.
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.
