Rev. David Olson, California Pro
Rioter Would Turn Trick and

Inasmuch as Morrow county has
an embryo, though undeveloped oil
field with much talk of early activ
ities along oleiferous lines, the fol
lowing story from Cottage Grove, re
cently published in the Oregonian,
should be of more than ordinary in
terest. Perhaps it might be well to
invite the Rev. Olsen to bri; hi
machines to Morrow county and tell
us .whether or not money put intcV
wildcat schemes is wasted.
Cottage Grove, Ore., April 19.
Cottage grove can have an oil
gusher within a few months, a hun
dred or more of them within a year
and work on the first one will start
within thirty days from the time the
people of Cottage Grove offer reas
onable co-operation. This was the
statement made at a mass meeting
Tuesday night by Rev. David Olsen
of California, formerly pastor here,
secretary of a national Americaniza-

'ter. The meeting was arranged by
local citizens and was theoddest pro
motion meeting ever held here.
Rev. Mr. Olsen devoted the first
part of his address to a sermonette
and during the progress of his talk
digressed to speak upon moral is
sues. He and his associates offered
to guarantee that oil in paying
quantities would be found and in
the event of failure the money in
vestel by local people would be re
turned to them.
Mr. Olsen had on the platform
with him four weird machines of his
own invention, by the use of which
he claimed to be able to detect the
presence of oil within one mile and
to measure with accuracy the depth
of each oil stratum. He said that
many years of time and hundreds of
thousands of dollars had been ex
pended in their production and thai,
in thousands of trials they had
never yet made an error.
One, having somewhat the appear
" ance of a "waterwitch," indicates
the preesrice of oil underneath the
spot over which the machine passes,
he said. Another, having somo:hing
of the appearance of a gander's neck,
points the direction .of oil anywhere
within a mile. It was asserted that
these machines would never make a
mistake even whe used in an auto
mobile traveling at 40 miles the
hour. Two other contrivances check
on the first two.
Upon many days during the last
two months Rev. Mr. Olsen prowled
around over hills while his wieru
machines, he said, located for him
100 spots within three miles of the
city where oil is to bo found ir
paying quantities. He said that he
had found it oozing from tht
ground in two places and that there
was no doubt that it will be of a
high quality. He stated that . oil
discovered this far north will be
found to have been purified in being
pulled toward the north pole. He
said that the first derrick which he
proposes to erect will be within a
nile of the city. He added that one

Special attention to Parcels Post orders
of his machines, while in motion on
the platform Tuesday night, pointed
to oil within a mile northwest of
the city. Many believe that Mount
David, just outside the city limits,
is the point from which the first
proposedgusher will flow.
"Cottage Grove can have a second
Signal hill," the speaker said, "and
land now selling at not more than
MOO the acre should in a few years
be worth what land is at Signal hill,
which is way up in the thousands of
dollars,"
Rev. Mr. Olsen gave his word as a
follower of the lowly Nazarene that
there could be no failure and that
thoso who joined with him stood no
chance to lose a penny, whether oil
should be found or not.
Rev. Mr. Olsen and his associates
are interested in oil properties in
several states and are the owners
of several that are said to ba pay
ing propositions. .Mr. Olsen' pro
fessed to have a peculiar love for
Lane county, which was for many
years his home, and said he would
like to spend several months here
bringing in wells. His own profits,
he said, would be used for the sup
port of the Americanization move
ment, of which he is the head. It was
through the desire to provide for
this movement that he became inter-

ested in the promotion of the oil
business, he said.
There will be no stock-selling. The
plan outlined by 01sen is to sell cer
tificates of ownership in the 300
acres of oil lands, upon which leases
already have been obtained, the
money to be used in the develop
ment of the properties.
Olsen said he and his associates
did not go ahead alone with the pr
ject and reap all the profits because
they already are interested in so
many similar propositions that they
cannot finance the project at once;
also that they wish the community
to share In the benefits to be derived
from the development of its natural
resources. He did not say why he
and his associates did not sell their
oil-finding machines at a fabulous
price.
Leases acquired on lands for oil
drilling purposes a year ago have
been turned over to Olsen and his
associates.
Olsen was pastor a number of
years ago of the Christian churcht
in this city. When he came to Lane
county he could correctly speak but
a few words of English. Tuesday
night he had no trouble In giving an
appealing message.

A RETROSPECT
(By Justitia)
D'ye remember not long ago,
Buddies, how we answered the
. call?
Over the ocean to face the foe
For Old Glory to win or fall
Alien, Catholic, Negro Jew .
Shoulder to shoulder and man to
man,
Loyal to Uncle Sammy, too
Where in hell was the Ku Klux
Klan ?
D'ye remember, Buddies, there
It didn't matter what creed or
blood,
Whatever we had was ours to share,
Deep in the trenches, deep iu the
mud,
All for the old Red, White and Blue,
Each one a true American
Irish, Catholic, Negrp and Jew
Where in hell was the Ku Klux
Klan?
Old Glory is folded and back from
war,
Victory smiles on a glad return;
Buddies are scattered near and far;
Somewhere, too, are hearts that
burn
For those who came not quite a
few
Rest together 'neath Flanders
Catholic, Negro and Jew
Man-forgotten, yet known to God.
Then, alien, Catholic, Negro, Jew,
Let Kleagles howl till the heavens
fall;
Old Glory waves for me and you
Where is the need of a Klan at
all?
All together for the U. S. A.
Shoulder to shoulder and man to
man
To find at the end of some Perfect
Day
A better cause that the Ku Klux
Klan.
