Pearl Collection.

the most splendid and costly Christmas
gift that any woman in tbe world will
receivo this year will bo a rope of mag
nificent pearls, costing $750,000, which
George D. WIdener will present to his
wife, who was Miss Eleanor Elkins,

It is said Widener intended tbe rope
of gems, some of which are nearly a

woman has been privileged to wear.

tho mysterious visitor.
The airship remained over the city
for IS minutes, all tho timo at a hetght
thai most observers set nt about 2000
feet, too great to enable even its pre

of it great searchlight, however, were
sharply defined. Tho dark mass of the
ship could bo seen dimly.
At tho timo of tho nlnhlp visit, Wnl
lace K. Tilllnghast, a Worcester man,
who recently nirtcd ho had invented

EXPORTS DBOP ONE MILLION.
French Tariff Seriously Affect Atncrl
can Oil Product.
Wasbmcton, Dee 21. Alarmed bv a
drop from 1,000.000 to $20,303 in mln i
era! oil exports to Prnnro la a month.!
Ameriean oil exporters have begun a I
movement to induce congress to renew
with the French government the reri ,
prosity treaty that expired on October
31. Exporters also bone for tbe re
newal of the treaty with Spain, n large
importer of Americnn oil, which will
expire on August 31, 1010.
Exports to Canada under the opera
tlon of the new tariff law Kave not been
compiled by the bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and labor,
but indications arc that they will show
relatively as great a falling off in oil
exports as thoso to France.
Notwithstanding the abrogation of
the reciprocity treaty with France, re
ports to tbe bureau lor .November, tlte
first month under tbe new order of
! things, show larger totals in both im
' ports and exports than in the corre
spoading month of last year. Haw cot
' ton, which Is imported into France free
of duty, and hence Is not affected by
the tariff changes, Is largely responsible
' for tbe increase in exports, while art
works SO years old nnd over, admitted
Uce under tbe new law, and diamonds

The falling off in imports of chain

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
OREGON HIGH IN GOOD OIL.
Reported Dig Strike Hat Been Mad
In Malheur County.
Vale Every day boring tn tho
Vale otl fields Increase the certainty
that Oregon la dottlned to become ono
of tho greatest oil producing states In
the country, say prospector and ot) ex
pert who havo witnessed tho result
of the wcll-slnklng now In progress
by half a dozen different companies In
Northern Malheur county.
Tho Malehur Oil A Go company, af
ter linking a well 1,700 feet and get
ting well Into a chocolate formation,
which Is regarded a n sure forerunner
of oil, capped tho woll and rofuso ab
solutely to allow visitor to approach
It. This action la believed by othsr
operating In the district to havo been
prompted by tbo fait that oil was act
ually struck In tho Malheur well and
that the company prosecuting the de
velopment work ha some reason for
not allowing it to become known that
oil has actually bren found In commer
cial quantities. The llaker-Malheur
company Is down 900 feet and ha let
a contract for linking it well 1,100
feet deeper, having taken thl action
after oil expeitt from Pennslyvanla
and California bad expressed the be
lief that oil would bo struck at a depth
of 1800 to 2000 feet.
The Columbia Oil & Ga company,
which It largely owned In Spokane, I
down 1200 feet with a 12 Inch drill
and I passing through the same form
atlon that wa found In tho cel
ebrated Kern river district In South
ern California. It was from thl well
that the sample of oil wa procured by
the special government representative
of the geological survey whoso report
on tbo discovery resulted In a recom
mendation being made by Secretary
of the Interior Dslllnger that tho who!
district be withdrawn from entry nnd
reserved ai a scurce of fuel supply for
the future use of tbe United State
navy.
The well being sunk by the East
ern Oregon Oil company I down
800 feet and ha pasted through two
strata of oil sand. The drill In thl
well recently encountered hot salt wa
ter, which It regarded at a iur Indica
tion of oil In commercial quantities.
Tbe Mammoth Oil & Ga company I
another of the cempante linking a
well in the district. Thli company it
owned by mn who have operated In
other oil field, and they express the
greatest confidence in the district.
One of the best drilling rig In the dis
trict ba just been set up by tbe Vale
Oil & Gtt company, whieh It prepared
to expend 125,000 In developing it
claim. D. M. Hunt, who ha had 25
yean' experience In the oil ficldt of
Wett Virginia, Ohio and California,
nnd who It now superintending the de
velopment work of one of the Itrgett
concerns operating in tbe Vale oil
field, says:
"The Vale district It the most
promising that I have ever seen, and I
shall be greatly surprised if it does not
turn out to be ono or the greatest oil
producing tectlona of tbe United
State."

OOl'llNlIAOEN TURNS DOWN OOOK
InvestljatluB Committee Can Find No
Proof or His Claim.
Copcnbitgen, Dee. 99. The eommlltM
whloli has been Investigating the data
of Dr. Froderlck A. Cook today offi
cially reported to tho consistory of the
University of Copenhagen that Dr.
Cook's records and observations were
wholly lusuOlolent to warrant a ver
dict that he discovered tho North Pole.
The consistory of the university
adopted tho report of the committee,
thereby llntly rejecting Dr. Cook'e.
claims and throwing out lilt retards and
OllXTNAtlullS,
Cook's data, according to the rci'li
is no more convincing than was tbe
newspaper account.
l)r, Cook's private secretary, Lons
dale, who represented the explorer here,
is bitterly disappointed at the verdict.
Ho Is making an effort to Indtteo the
consistory to withhold flinw Judgmsnt
until the wholo of Dr. Cook's dala eon
bo presented,
Lonsdale told the committee that
missing data, which aro part of Dr.
Cook's original documents, wero sent
hero from America by a route differ-
cut from that by which tho records
nlready examined were brought. Ho
said this additional data would arrive
In a few day.
Tho oonslstory refuses to pay any
attention to I.onidalo's appeal and th
findings announced today aro final so
far as tho consistory Is concerned.
Tho discrediting of Dr. Cook was a
severe blow to the Danish scientists,
who had stood firmly by him ami given
turn support under tho charges mad by
Cooimandor Peary. The great recep
tion given Dr. Cook upon his arrival
horo and the honors that were paid
him by high and low, Including tbo
king, aro recalled with somewhat open
ly usplsyed chagrin.
It is known that the Danish experts
were personally Inclined lo favor Dr.
Cook, most of them already having
conin out in statements lending to sub
stantiate his elalmt.
A member of tbe cemmlttre today
-aid-
"It took the committee but a few
minutes to see that Dr. Cook's uhser-
atlon and so called records were
worthless.
"Wn soiil'l have reported Inimedl
ately, but It took several days to re
cover from the surprise.
"The so called notebooks pa which
Dr. Cook relied in a great measure for
vindication had only accounts of hi
obser.atlont, rather than the observa
tions themselves. These notebooks were
thrown aside' wllboot a moment' con
sideration. "I cannot understand bow a man of
Cook's reputed sclentlSe attainments
could have attempted to bolster up his
claims with such flimsy evidence,"
