From a dispatch published in the Oregonian, It appears that the oil project on the, Whiteaker farm near Dallas has temporarily "fallen through," - ' "Suit to recover $33,975 from D. M. Watson, a prominent restaurant man of Portland," says the Oregonian, "was filed lo the Circuit Court yester day by the Polk County Oil Company. The company was organized March 28, last, with a capitalization of $100- 000, Watson himself being the presi dent It is alleged that lie obtained 19,997 shares of 60,000 shares issued, and that he now has 29,000. "It is also declared that C. K. Mal- lory vice-president of the company, F. M. Colwell, secretary and treasurer, and George Curtis, who Incorporated with Watson, took only one share each, paying $1 apiece. After incorporation 50,000 shares remained, which were held as treasury stock, for sale at 25 oents a share, the proceeds to be used in putting down oil wells. Tho com plaint alleges, however, that' up to the present time only 100 shares of this stock been sold. "The 49,900 shares of unsold stock are said to be worth $12,475, Watson's 26,000 shares are alleged to be worth $6500 and the lease wb icb was su rrend- ered is said to be worth $1500 a year, or $15,000." The lease which Mr, Watson had obtained from Mr. Whiteaker was to run for 10 years, and was sublet by him to the company In return for 49,997 shares of stock. The contract with Whiteaker called for the sinking of the first well within 4 months and the putting down of 20 others at Inter vals of 90 days each thereafter. Watson is alleged to have quit drill ing on June 19, having sunk the well o a depth of 200 feet. The corpora tion could not before July 25 secure other machinery to finish the well. Watson is said to have surrendered the original lease to Mr. Whiteaker. When work on the well was sus pended all indications were most favor able, a considerable quantity. of crude oil appearing as the drilling - pro gressed, and everyone seemed exceed ingly hopeful for the success of the project At present all activity Is suspended and it is not yet definitely known whether the work will be re sumed or dropped entirely. . , .

I haven't had any but I have had a very strong bint, nothing short of a box of yum-yums. Qf course it was my birthday but I wasn't looking for it I heard, a good one about a polite young man who had just had a proposal from a nice girl. He couldn't accept but he was saying, "I will always be a brother to you," when she up and said, "Brother, nothing; If that was what I wanted I could pull one out from under the sofa right now." 1 went to a leap year party the other night and, say, it was fierce. One girl actually proposed to a young friend of mine and was accepted and they were wedded right on the spot by jumping aver a broom that was purchased at U.S. Loughary's store. We have flue brooms for 25c, but I think our bon-bons (assorted) and chocolate creams are more In line for social occasions. They are surely the all-right merchandise for birthday and wedding gifts.
