THREE
MORE OIL INDICATIONS
..Superintendent Chris Finds Oil
While Digging ft Tnkt
Dcf Mute School
Another strong oil Indication hat
' hmn (truck In OrcRon, thU lime at
' the Deaf M nto school not far from
I nlpndtnco.
While diguing for a nefjlio tank
the erhool workmen struck a
. etrong spring ami How of water at
. eight foot Iwlow the aurface of the
' ground. This water when allowed
to rel quietly' for a nlmrt time .de
velops a thick kum of oil over the
rtop.
The oil ia of rather yellowish
--color, indicating that it ia of yry
uiuuh the same characteristics
the oil dincovered in tho well at
Pratum recently. Mr. T. J. Clark
the superintendent of the school,
aaid that the Inflow of water wan
verv strong and it had to he baled
- ut frequently,- and that in the
morning the tank throws oft" a very
Ntrong odor of the petroleum.
Asked about the direction from
which the water flows into the tank,
Mr. Clarke said it swaied to come
from the northeast, which is the
Jirection of Pratum from the
school.
This ia a very important dis
covery and Mr. Clarke says that
there is no doubt at all that the
-discovery it genuine,
This 'ia only further proof of the
preHence of oil in this district and
it aeemn that nome capital'iBt who
is willing to tak a few chances
would do well by boring and de
veloping if tlicso deposits are of
ny value.
The indicationm on the White
aker place near Monmouth are on
a direct line with Pratum and the
Deaf Mute school. Tho new com
Iany organized to exploit the pros
ptcts near Monmouth are negotiat
ing for a man to do the boring.
Every new discovery is additional
evidence that oil wells ara to I e
had in Oregon for the boring and
the race for the first big strike is
.open to all.
What Not to Eat
With the advancement of science
in recent years one scarcely knows
what to eat in order to keep bouI
and body togother. That in par
ticularly iruo during the summer.
Water must bo boiled, milk steri
lized, meat eaten sparingly, over
ripe melons discarded a producing
fermentation in the Btomach which
file the system for receiving tvphoid
germs and in fact all foods must be
-carefully guarded if disease is to he
warded off.
The latent ndvelopment ' along
this line is the discovery, that eel
ery id a ureal distributer of typhoid
fever. In this connection the Chi
cago health department claims that
the danger from celery comes from
the fact that people are not content
to eat celery in its green or natural
state, but insist it shall be bleached.
Truck gardeners use an immense
.amount of fertilizer in order to pro
duce the greatest possible amount
,-of vegetables on a given plot of
ground. When they come to bleach
the celery they simply cover the
stalks with soil up to the tips and
in that way the celery comes in
contact with the fertilizer. Many
fertilizers are simply refuse matter
from the cities bacteria and as the
-celery is eaten raw one is very apt
to lake the bacte'ia into the sys
tem with disastrous results.
If this theory is upheld and gen
erally promulgated,it will no doubt
be the means of changing the meth
od of producing celery, as the de
mand would be for the green stalks
. instead of for those that have been
'bleached in the ground.

Too Old."
Ueceiitljr In two American rltlea two

from New York. A niuo about seventy-two
years old bad applied to the

work Hud was told to call In the morn
ing, lie sat down by a pile of lumber
where a number of men were gntuered
and appeared quite dejected.
"No one wants an old man," lie said.
As the night wore on the others went
away, and the wutchman In making tils
rounds found the old man stretched at
full length, breathing heavily. Uo ap

The other ease occurred lu Chicago.
Andrew Wermllen, forty-Ove years
old, could not obtain employ inunt "So

all these qualities counted for nothing
