STRONG SIGNS OF GUSHER
Steady Flow of Oil Encountered
by Drillers at Whiteaker Well.
B. F. Whiteaker, a prominent
farmer residing about four miles east
of this city, was in Dallas yesterday
on business. He says that the work
of drilling for oil on bis property Is
being carried forward rapidly, and
that It is only a matter of a short time
until a paying flow of oil will be
struck.
The drill has reached a depth of
only 300 feet, but already a slight, but
steadily increasing flow of petroleum
has been observed. -Indications are
becoming daily more favorable, and
it Is thought that only a little deeper,
the drill will strike the main body of
oil and set It free In a paying flow.
The drill has passed through two
strata of hard granite rock since the
work commenced and has pierced
three deposits of coal, one of which
was fully three feet in thickness and
of an excellent quality.
To The Voters of Polk County.
Gentlemen : '
I am a candidate for election to the
office of County Treasurer. A position
of the greatest financial responsibility
within your gift. As many of you do
not know me personally, before asking
you for your support, it is but just and
proper that you should know some
thing of the person seeking this posi
tion. Flease permit me to offer the
following personal sketch :
I was born In Folk county C2 years
ago; brought up on a farm; gradu
ated from Willamette University in
1878 ; read law $wo years, but was com
pelled, on account of failing health, to
leave the, office ; came back to Polk
county and bought a farm on credit,
and after fifteen years of Industry and
economy, paid for it. I then came to
Dallas where I have slnced lived. 1
was elected to the office of City Auditor
and Police Judge for twelve years
consecutively, which Is evidence of my
ability as a book keeper and expert
accountant.
Although seriously handicapped by
physical disability sinoe boyhood, I
am not asking your support, out of
sympathy on that account- The
custody of your funds is purely a
business proposition and sympathy
should cut no more figure here than
In the selection of your banker, as
that Is what the office really amounts
to In the end.
Our county Is now practically on a
cash basis, and our taxes, , (about
$150,000 annually) are mostly collected
in the spring and remain in tbe
Treasurer's bands until 'paid out on
warrant in the regular course of busi
ness, and I feel that I am qualified,
from business experience, educational
attainments and. past financial integ
rity, to care for these funds to the
satisfaction of the taxpayers of the
county. I therefore respectfully ask
you to consider my qualifications for
this position, and if, in oasting your
vote, you will use tbe same business
judgment that you use in your private
business, I shall be satisfied.
My platform Is : The oath of office
strictly interpreted and faithfully
observed.
Thanking you for any favors you
may show me, I am
Yours respectfully,
DAN P. 8TOUFFER.
My name on the ballot ia numbered
45.
Edd C. Dunn will serve the people
faithfully, if eleeted County Trca
urer. , .
Jack Morrison, of F.ock, Creek, was
in Dallas this week and completed
arrangements so that the men living
In that precinct might be.permltted to
vote in the coming election. Only two
voters In that precinct had registered
when the books were closed, and It was
thought that no election could be held.
It was found, however, that Mr.
Morrison, as a registered voter, might
be -chosen judge of election In that
precinct, and would have power to
swear in those who did not register.
There will be about ten votes cast In
that precinct.
