Whiteaker, of Portland, is la this city, having arrived here Wednesday. Mr. Whiteaker is here in the interest of a corporation or stock enmnanv which he is organizing for the purpose of exploiting oil, natural gas and artesian salt wells. Tnese indications are so pronounced in Polk county that he has finally decid ed to enter into extensive prospect ing of the various croppings of oil sands which have been found in the vicinity of independence. Speaking of the proposition, on his visit to the Enterprise yesterday, Mr. Whiteaker said: "A company has been organized consisting of N. M. McDaniel. a Polk county man, presid ent, and B. F. Whiteaker, vice-president, W. H. Spencer of Portland, sec retary, and a Mr. Shea of Portland, treasurer. This organization is known as the Willamette Valley Oil and Gas Company, with headquarters at Port land. "Benjamin J. Whiteaker, who cros sed the plains in 1848, discovered a salt prospect out on the old Whitea ker farm, the discovery being made by having seen his oxen licking the sands In the creek bed. He sank a well at that point and struck artes ian salt water. Seven years ago this summer we prospected for oil with a common rotary water drill and at 480 feet we struck the salt water again. 98 per cent of the oil wells bored In the United States salt water has been encountered first. However, at 700 feet there was considerable flow of oil. Gas was also found at this depth. We have a gas well out there now. Oil was lost at this time on ac count of the salt water breaking in upon us and crowding the oil out. After six weeks of waiting for cast ings from San Francisco before oper ations could be resumed the oil pro spects had disappeared. That is the history of inerference of salt water It will crowd out the oil. "Professor Proebstel of the depart-j ment of mineralogy, geology, and mining englpeer of the O. A. C. at, Corvallis, has found oil sands in dif-j ferent parts of the Willamette valley, j which ho says is a sure sign or tne presence of oil at proper depth. By making the analysis of these sands he finds that it Is of paraflne base, usually found with high-grade oil. How About the CanneryT !

Information has leaked out that the two women who recently visited Independence and represented them selves as nuns collecting funds for a Catholic hospital are frauds. The statement Is made by Father Kitten- hofen, who states that there are no nuns authorized to make collections for the Catholic church and that the women are not members of the church. These same two women are supposed to have operated in Port land a short time age. They are Independence People and What They Say is of Local Interest When an Instance like the fol lowing occurs right here at home, it is bound to carry weight with our readers. So many strange occurrences go the rounds of the press: are pub lished as facts, people become skepti cal. On one subject skepticism i rapidly disappearing. This is due to the actual experience of our citizens, and their public utterances regarding them. The doubter must doubt more in the face of such evidence as this. The public statement of a re putable citizen living right at home, one whom you can see every day, leaves no ground for the skeptic to stand on. P. H. Drexler, Main St. Indepen dence.
