Oil COMPANY IN LAWSUIT
Work on Polk County Project
at
Whiteaker Farm Temporarily
Suspended.
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.

OFFICE BOY .
cm
Have you. had any leap-year pro
posals yet? 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. ' Some come in
fancy boxes and some of the glace
fruits are in burnt-wood boxes, mission
style. Get a line on our sweetmeats.
