Olden of the Lucki amute country was doing busi ness in town Monday. Abstracts promptly furnished at reasonable rates, by L. D. Brown, Dallas, Oregon. tf George A. Muscott and wife visited friends in Cooper Hollow last Sunday returning home in the evening. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Belshe and daughter, Nellie, left here Sat urday for Moro, Oregon, where they will remain visiting for a couple of months and then they will go to Tampico, in old Mexico where they expect to make their future home. Their many friends here are loath to lose them from the community. All of Booth-Kelley & Compa ny's buildings at Wendling burned last week except the mill and the lumber yard, the loss to to the company aggregating $50,- 000. The company will build . . i j again, so says current news, arm will give employees, who lost by the fire, all the aid possible. The place is to be rebuilt on a better system than that which was de stroyed. Monmouth was quite well rep resented at the circus at Salem . last Saturday. Among those who went were 0. A. Wolverton and Mrs. Dalton, J. H. Moran and Mrs. Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Her man Guin, Fred Zook and Miss Inez Mason, Mrs. F. R. Bower sox and two children, Miss Agnes Haef, Mrs. Agne3 Daily, D. M. Hampton and E. Stewart and perhaps more whose names we failed to get. Miss Gladys Canter, of Dallas and "Miss Ethel Johnson, from Idaho, were the guests of Miss Kathryne Hughes Friday night. Wiss Hughes went with them to Dallas, Saturday, returning home Monday. A. B. Morlan, returned home, Sunday, from his visit to Iowa, and we believe he is much more in love with Oregon since visit ing Iowa. While Iowa had fairly good crops this season the count ry looked much as if it had been shriveled up and he remarked that he did not see a half bushel ! of apples hanging on the trees in that state. His verdict was that he saw nothing while on his journey that compared favorably with the Willamette Valley. Whiteaker Oil Well Cemented Mr. J. A. McGinnis was in yes terday to have the Itemizer sent to him at West Virginia, for which place he left that day to take charge for the Standard Oil company of 125 oil wells in that region. Mr. McGinnis has been working at the Whiteaker well recently, and only leaves at the earnest solicitation of the com pany m Virgiria, who are anx ious to have him again take charge of the job previously held by him there. He informs us that the Whiteaker well has just been cemented, and that after that is set. and the water cased off, boring can again be resumed He is very optomistic in regard to the findihg of oil here, and with the many years of experi ence he has had at the business, his? oninion should carry much weight So certain of this is Mr. McGinnis that he will not take his family with him, but will leave them in Portland until oil is an assured fact here, when he will return for the . many things that will be doing in his line of business. In the proporty he re cently sold here, he reserved the oil rights, and will have a chance to have an oil well of his own. The cementing of the well will cause a suspension of operations at the well for some time, may be several weeks, until it thoroughly hardens, so that drilling may be resumed. This was made neces sary by the pipe not finding a for mation of sufficient hardness to support its great weight, and the consequent inability to shut off the flow of water. The practice of cementing is now in vogue in all California wells, and facilit ates matters very greatly, and lessens the danger of going past a flow of oil, which might be done while the water is in there. Mr. McGinnis is certain we have both gas and oil, and says that after the water is out we are liable to strike a good flow at any moment Polk County Itemizer.
