BODY FOUND. Last Wednesday morning
the body of Fred j. Reed was discovered
lying under tree on the farm of his father,
T. G.. Reed. who lives on the Kings Valley
road about 10 miles northwest of Corvallis,
with bullet hole in the left side. 1t is
learned that on Tuesday evening Reed left
his fathers house to drive the stock home
from pasture, taking his gun with him ex-
pecting to shoot some birds. This was the
last ever seen of him alive. Nothing was
thought of his failure to return that night,
but on Wednesday morning a seach was
made which resulted as above stated. 1t is
supposed that he in some way accidentally
shot himself The deceased was about 20
years of age and had been dead about "a
hours when found. The funeral took place
at the farm on Thursday.

CoNvERGING THAT WAY.-The Colum
bian of Astoria says: The railroad situa-
tien brightens every hour. Sure of one
great line, Astoria now finds much pleasure
in counting up the others which are looking
this way. Surveyors are coming down the
river, and the Albany & Astoria company
will have it's men in the field next week.
The Northern Pacific is not idle, but may
be expected to place its engineers at work
at any moment. The Coast Line from
Astoria to San Francisco is far from being a
chimera and will be built within ten
years. This shows that the people Of As
toria are awake to their advantages as a
seaport, and understand that the volume
of their ocean commerce largely depends
on their facilities of interior Transports "
That city is forcing rapidly ahead and those
lots remaining unsold in North Pacific Ad-
dition to Astoria now sale by The Ore
gon Lnnd Company afford an opportunity
for profitable investment.

The deceased was one of the earliest set

NEWPORT, R. l., June lit is pleasant
10 occasionally come to Newport. The vul-
gar display on the part of the limp and
halting aristocracy is hateful to see; but
there is a good and olden face shining be-
nignantly out Of unpretentious plenty and a
mellow perspective of historic age. Go
where you will the eye ranges along mossy
walls, by lane and Dy street; catches shim-
merings of light beyond vistas of overarch-
ing elms; rests genially upon stone cappings
to which the architecture of our time is q
stranger.
Then, again, what a real age, for our land,
Is here. Prof Rain, of Copenhagen, be-
lieves the Old Stone Mill OF Touro Park to
be 800 or 900 years old, and genuine relic
Of ante Columbian Morse colonists. The
CITY Hall dates back to 1853. On Clark
street is the old Baptist Church, erected in
1735. The ancient Honeyman mansion, at
the corner of Church and Thames streets,
was built in 17O4 Trinity Church, where
vorshiped the colonists, the British army of
occupation, and finally the successful revo-
lutionists, has stood 144 years. The Chan
ming house, on Thames street, was built In
1920. Scores oi mansions are here, built In
the earlier part of the last century, while
the famous Coddington house, on Spring
street, has stood 249 years just as you will
see it to-day.
One can almost close his eyes and see the
ancient folk as they were once here; so
much that was theirs remains. The flavor,
the incident, the sight and sound of it all,
come easily enough as one wanders here.
The stately ways of the colonists; the rugged
earnestness and often the arrogance of the
British occupants; the daring and sacrifice
OF the revolutionists; the lordly swagger OF
the rich OLD sea captains; the pleasapce and
grace of the French. when De Segur, De
Lauzun, Destouches, De PEstrapade, the
Counts De Barras and Nosilles, the Marquis

silhouettes of Washington and Howe and
pretty Polly Leiton, and the sound of dane
ing at Mrs. Cowley's famous Assembly
Rooms-all irresistibly live with the old,
old trees, thoroughfares and mansions.

OIL In COLORADO.
EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS IN THE NEW
PETROLEUM FIELD.

The various Companies are Rapidly Putting
Down Wells-some of the Holes nre
Sending Fourth Generous streams-Re-
fueries Running Steadily.
FLORENCE, COL, June 13.-The Rocky
Mountain Oil Company is ready to begin
drilling on its first well, and on Monday
morning the boiler will be fired and the en-
gine started in drilling No. 1 well. The
site selected is one and half miles south of
the city, quite close to the Florence and
Coal Creek Cemetery. There are wells
nor tn, west and east owned and operated by
the United Oil Company, and there is
scarcely doubt but what the Rocky
Mountain people will strike oil ON the spot
chosen for its first well.
A large water tank will be erected on the
top of Kendrick mountain, an eminence two
miles south of the Arkansas river. A site
for pumping station at tine river has been
selected and work upon the same will be
started in few days. A three-inch pipe
line will connect the station and tank,
From the tank will be laid other lines in to
all parts of the company's development field,
the elevation being such as to furnish ample
pressure to any part of the field. General
Manager Coon is pushing work in every
direction with considerable vim, and says it
is his company's intention to sink ten wells
before it stops the drill. No. string of
tools is en- route from the East, and another
well will be started upon their arrival The
William Graver tank builders Of Chicago
have the contract for building IL crude
tanks for this company and are at work now
upon the same with a large force of men.
The Triumph Oil Company continues to
push its business. The No. we'll is throw
ing a good stream of oil. No. hole, in
course Of drilling, is down probably ], 500
feet, with good prospects of striking oil be-
fore it reaches the 1000 mark. 1t has
started another derrick and will start the
drill in it as soon as No. 2 is completed.
The refneries of the United and Florence
companies are running steady and turning
out great deal of oil for the summer sea-
son. The United Oil Company Is not drill
ing any new wells at present, but is trying
to increase the flow of some of its old wells
by sinking them deeper.
The Florence Oil and Refining Company
is running string of tools on new holes,
being engaged at present on its fteenth hole.
A better feeling exists here this year than
ever before concerning the future Of the
Western oil city. Property has advanced
peg, the merchants report better trade and
the laboring classes are at work, getting
good wages.

Origin of an American Word.

There is probably no word more efusively
or irradically fixed in the vocabulary of
American slang than that one now exclu-
sively and universally signifying mYsteri-
Gus, dubious, yet powerful and all-suficient,
influence with, or over, political combina-
tions or dispensers of political patronage.
Its use is quite as common and compre-
hensive in all active business, and not un-
usually in social, and even in ecclesiastical,
affairs. 1 refer to the word "pull." One
has ''pull" at the White House; another
has pull" in municipal affairs; clever
clergyman has pull" at local, or gen.
eral conferences, with presbyteries, in church
and missionary boards, indeed with his
bishop or archbishop; and the schoolboy of
10 strives for a pull" with his teacher or
among the juvenile crowds whose affairs
comprise the most important considerations
of his daily life. The word has been edi-
torially deplored, assailed and numerically
scourged and pursued, but ALWAYS comes out
uppermost and goes straight on in its SEN
tentious work and uses with hardy knuckles
and sturdy legs. Like one of those grim
and hardy waits of the street. that, home
less, parentless and without ancestry,
pushes himself, from the very aggressive
power of his usefulness into position and
place, pull" may be now regarded as a
naturalized American, and importantenough
in its hard-hsted place to deserve attention
to its ancestry.
Various philologists have already written
essays giving pull" distinctlvely American
origin. By the purest accident of research
upon another subject discovered this to be
incorrect. For its immediate parentage we
must charge its obloquy, or credit its merits
to the Irish. While recently in Ireland,
engaged in an investigation upon certain of
its resources, 1 came upon an old work en-
titled "a Statistical Survey of Roscom-
mon," printed at Dublin in 1882. Among
the quaint and interesting recitals of local
nature to be found in this Survey" is an
account OF the rise and fall of the Angina
Coal and Iron Company, in 1924, known as
the bubble year" of English and Irish
speculation; and particularly of the re-
markable manipulations among Lon
don nobility and capitalists in
nearly successful effort on the part of an
Irish engineer, architect and builder with
the significant name of Flattery, to float a
Roscommon bog and hole in the ground
upon London investors for 81 500, 600; Flat
tery's share of which booty was to be $780,
600. Although it was uphill work, and
eventually became so glaring fraud that
ParliSment investigated and put quietus
upon the scheme, the radiant enthusiasm of
Mr.. Flattery found frequent vent, by letter,
to his Roscommon friends. In one Of these,
dated London, November 30 1924 Gap
pendix p. Z is found our American "pull"
in all its robust force of application and in
cisiveness. Mr.. Flattery writes: 81 have
not sighned anything for them yet, tho
have humbuged them out of 9250, and got
them to send of the work of the engine,
which comes to a1, 900. have now a pull

Detained mt New York.

ESPECIAL TELLGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, June 13-A family of Rus
sian giants were landed at the barge Office
from the steamship Westernland. The
grandfather, Johannes Mohr, 81 years old,
Is the colossus of the lot, measuring
nearly six and half feet in height. His sons
and nephew are broad-chested six-footers and
his grand children, the youngest of whom IS
only months old, look as if they were
going to be big folks some time. The family
party consists of IA persons. They want to
go to a near relative, who owns a farm out
in Sutton, Neb., but they have only $40
among them to pay their fare.
They say they loaned some unfortunate
countrymen who came over on the Western
land all the rest OF their money. They think
that the Nebraska farmer may send them
enough money to pay their way home. The
big fellows are farmers and look as if they
could endure lots of hard labor. They will
be detained until the Nebraska farmer is
heard from,
