A meeting of the director of the
Lost rtlver Mlnlnic ana Prospecting
company wa held this morning and
a numbor of moves which will, ll Is
hoped, havn a beneficial effect upon
thn development of tho mineral and
nil resources of this roilllty.
One of thn first anions taken by
ithi board of director wa tho In
creasing of tho capital stock of tho
original company from $5,000 to
$100,000, share at a par value of
$100 each. Application was mada to
the secretary- of tato for Immediate
Increase.
Ono of the most Important action
taken In reference to tho development
of oil In Poo Valley wastbo Instruc
tions given to Capt. J. W. fllemnn to
nccept tho offer of a driller, who has
two rigs, a standard and Btar, to
come hero and bogln oporatlons upon
a site to bo chosen by a reputable
geologist. Tho geologist also has been
notified to como at once and locato
the proper place and this mattor wn
taken care of by Capt. Siemens. Tho
original proposition made In tbo
company by thl driller mas a soon
aa a te was secured by a geologist,
the rig would be moved hore and
thn land drilled upon a C0-60 bails,
all expense to bp borne by tho drill
er. The original company started ope
rations on a small scalo In Poo Valloy
sovoral years ago but tboro was no
systematic drilling as the outfit used
was a small ono operated by a gas
engine and the drilling an,dono by
Inexperienced drlllors. However, It
was asserted, by the men, engaged up
on thn Job, thut oil ovidenccs wore
found at tho depth of M0 fcot. A
limited amount of money provenUd
continuation of operations, after n
string of tool wore lost at a depth
of 600 foot.
This pioneering In Poo Vulley and
tho evidences found led tho directors
to bollovo that Poo Valley contaluod
oil and In the Increase of capitalize
tliatlon mado today, this section can
bo thoroughly probed with sultablo
machinery. Ovor 6,000 acres havo
boen loased In this valloy.
If there Is no failure on tho part
of either the geologist or tho driller,
it Is said that wltntn tllirty days Poo
Valley may be the scene of tho oil
drilling activity.

I.EOE. CORVALLIS. July 11-
Bevenleon to 20,000 pound ot pop-
pormlnt oil from plant grown In
central Oregon this year, Is the es-
tlmato by Dean Adolph Zleflo of
the school of pharmacy, who is
spending part of his vacation In tho
Interest ot tho Oregon Peppermint
Growers Cooperative association.
Blnco July 1, Dean Zleflo has been
working near 11 rooks, Coburg, Now
here, and other points Instructing
the formers rolstlvo to approved
mothods ot planting and cultivating
peppermint plants. He expects to
supervise all harvesting and distil
lation of all peppermint plants
grown In central Oregon this year.
"Tbo average price of oil last
year was $6.26 per pound," said
Doan Zleflo. "Should this price bo
offered this year, peppormlnt will
bo tho most profitable crop farm
ers could ralso . From all Indica
tions, tho yield of peppermint oil
will bo greator this year than last
bocauso of tbo fact that tho season
has boon almost ideal for pepper
mint culture."
Experiments are being conduct
ed In tho school ot pharmacy on
prossuro distillation, as well as tho
offect ot certain woods or the qual
ity of oil ot poppermlnt. The
Mint Orowors' association is plan
ning to roflno Its raw oil, and In
order that the refining process may
bo undor tho supervision ot tho
faculty ot tho school ot pharmacy,
tho plant may bo located In Corral
Us, points out Dean Zleflo.
Whllo tho Klamath county mint
crop Is Just getting a good start,
it is probablo that tho production
this year In Klamath county will

FIBST INNING,
BHL TBIAL
CHICAGO, July 18. With a Jurr
selected, after two weeks of offort
during which" nearly 600 talesmen
were examined, tho defenso and
prosecution today started tho first
"Inning" of tho trial of seven for
mer White Sox players and four al
i nmMn. charred with con
spiracy to permit Cincinnati to
tho 1819 world's sorloa irom ioi
cago. The Investigation Into alleged
enmhllnc. bribery and game throw
ing In major league baseball was
opened officially Inr September,
1950. when Judge JCharlos A. Mc
Donald, chief Justice ct tho crlra-
i '.. I .-..-.. .hirnal thj. fnf.1: COtl!l
ty" grand Jury with "logklns; - nVl
reports which had come to nib at
tention concerning flxol rames.
The grand Jury investigation
hleh followed proved the most son-
satlonal In the sports' history. It
finally resulted In the Indlctmont
ot eight members of the world's
champions Chicago White Box, two
former major leaguo players, two
aileced gamblers and n former
world champion puglllit oa c.narges
that tey had conspire I icr me
Whlto Box to throw the 1313 world
ssrlss to the Cincinnati Reds, anJ
ihnt iomi White 8ox players ac
cepted bribes ranging as high as
$10,000 to deliberately lose game
In that series.
When tbo coso was called to trial
nn March 17. 1921. however, It
appeared that the sensational ex

The action of tho state, however,

scandal, It proved really to bo the

While talk of a combined oasa-

weeds continue to multiply la
places -whore there la still arolstere

more arid areas, weeds aad foxtail

Some ardent spirit, whose aa

Sizing up the strength of the

the Invaders. And there will be
plenty of weed left, eves If all
residents should take part, anises
some provision exists la the city

In which a good example might he
set by tho authorities for the pri
vate individual. Is the grove In the
rear of the courthouse on Main
street. When tho writer saw it
a few days ago it was a veritable
Jungle ot weeds, wood piles, dis
carded lumber and limbs broken off
tho trees and left lying. If the
county prisoners who now subsist
in Idleness, were organised a a
cleanup brigade and turned loose
on this lot for a day or two, It
could be transformed into a past
able park at practically no expense.
Somo of tbo local lumber compan

for a few benches, and with pro
per police attention to prevent It
becoming a. congregation place for
undesirables ,lt might be made Into
a real recreation center tor the.

within the gates.
Inasmuch as It affords practical
ly the only public shade In the city,
It Is too bad that this grove la not
utilized during tho present' warm
season. And Its cleanup would set
a highly desirable example for tha
prlvato citizens, whoso lawns curb
and back yards sadly need the at
