W. H. 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 !
The Newberg Enterprise contains!
an advertisement from the Webber
Bussell Canning Co. stating that they j
are ready to contract for blackberries
for canning purposes, also calling at
tention that they will be ready for
other contracts soon.. What is the
cannery at Independence going to do
this season? It's time to begin to
prepare for the season's work.
Biliousness and Constipation
For years I was troubled with bil
iousness and constipation which made
life miserable for me. My appetite
failed me, I lost my usual force and
vitality. Pepsin preparations and cath
artics only made matters worse. I do

They Were Frauds.
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.
