Weiser, Idaho, people are elated oyer- the recent coming in of .a gas well with the tremendous, flow of 35,- 000,000 cubic feet of natural gas, daily. The Idaho, town is receiving national advertising as a result of the big ".- f'w. and a local woman, Mrs. William J rppr, at present living in Walla Walla, is the owner of sev eral hundred acres of land adjacent to the well. The gas flow was struck east of Weiser eight miles, and the company is now drilling a well west1 of the town at Indian Head. According to the geological survey, Indian Head is near the cer.ter of an oil dome, and it is near Indian Head where Mrs. Piper's land is located, There are oil indications on the Piper land and MrS. Piper made two trips to her holdings there the past summer. A Los Angeles company has purchased a large body of land near the Piper place. Grover Pickcll, a former resident of Athena, is the owner of land one mile from Indian Head. It was oil indications, pointing to the possibility of large petroleum deposits that led the operating com pany to begin drilling operations some time ago, with the result; that the big gas flow was struck. Light Soil Farmer Busy The farmers in the 'light soil dis trict north of Athena are busy with seeding operations. Copious rain fall visited that section of the farm ing belt and the soil is thoroughly saturated with moisture which in sures immediate sprouting and growth of grain now being drilled.

Metschan Upholds State Committee In His Speech LaGrande. Phil Metschan, republi can nominee for governor, lashed back at Julius L. Meier's charges at a luncheon here attended by more than 200 Union county - residents, classing criticism of the honesty-of the state central committee nomma tion of him as "flimsy" and defying opponents to show one single case where industry has moved to Tacome or Seattle from Portland due to power conditions. In connection . with the state cen tral committee's actions, Metschan stated that at the time of Senator George W. Joseph's deah, 29 coun ties had already elected or - called their meeting to elect state commit teemen. In the remaining seven,-as state chairman and on advice from the several counties, he named tem porary chairman as recommended to call or organize county committees. In answer to charges that the cen tral committee "had it in their pockets' before they met, Metschan reviewed each county, and claimed that five of the seven delegates elect ed in those counties organized under his temporary appointments never did vote for him in the convention nomination, notably Coos county and others. ' He denied that the commit tee was "stacked" with his relatives. Touching upon power, he said that politics are apt to creep into the larger cities of Oregon when munici pal ownership is involved, citing the government control of the railroads during the war as one instance of in efficiency. - - - -"- Prestbye At La Grande E.

Cronemiller, state for ester. The total number of fires was 877, the lowest in 10 years except 1927. Only 185 fires covered more than 19 acres. The only disastrous fire in green timber occurred in Deschutes county burning over 6000 acres of mer chantable yellow pine. This fire kill ed 40.000,000 feet of timber, though it is said a large part of this can be saved if logged within a short time. The loss in logging equipment was also low, less than $30,000 against $955,388 in 1929. Most of the fires were caused by lightning. Incendiarism ranked first among the man-made causes Jack son and Josephine counties suffering most from this cause. In one day 70 fires were set intentionally in Josephine county. The reduced loss is attributed . to better organization.
