Yesterday Peter Bither and y. II.
Bateman came IN and purchased OF the
Stewart & Sox Hardware Co. one of the
most complete ihreshing outfits ever sod
in the valley The engine is a COM
pound. and is rated at from Is to 20 horse
power the separator is S3x60' Cyclone"
of the very latest pattern. with power
full wind stacker attached to il. Besides
this they bought mounted water tank,
and taking it all through there isn't q
betterthreshing rig in this part OF the
county. Il was manufactured by Russell
& Co. Of Massillon. Ohio, and this fact
alone is sufficient to prove that 1t will
give satisfaction to the purchasers and
their customers, as these separators and
engines have been sold throughout the
valley for years and have been built es-
pecially to meet the wants OF our people.
Messrs. Bither and Bateman are two OF
the most prominent farmers IN the coun-
ty, and live on the Calapooia about 3
miles below Brownsville. and the new
outfit will be run in that locality.

THURSDAY
He Struck Oil.
From the Corvallis Times

From the Corvallis Times:
The fact that they once bored for oil
on the Wyatt farm west of Corvallis,
without favorable results, ia brought to
mind by the experience of Peter Mangas,
father of Henry Mangas, this city. Peter
Mangas is resident of Ohio, and was
out to Oregon on q visit to his son and
other relatives in Benton county a couple
of years ago. He recently struck an oil
vein on his farm, and has at this time
five wells in operation, four of which are
excellent wells. He is now engaged iu
drilling two more, and il these turn out
to be as good as expected, IT is likely
that his farm will be connected with the
great pine line to Chicago and the ac-
cumulation of handsome fortnns will
be the result. 1t cost Mr.. Mangas 5000
to bore his first three wells.
A curious fact connected with Mr..
Mangas' oil fin6 is that the farm on
which it was discovered fell into his
hands against his wishes. At the time
he was out here he held second mort
gage on The farm, and his departure
rom here was hurried by complications
in the matter. He was finally forced to
take the place at a total cost of some
thing over l,l00.
lt was swampy sort OF land and was
without redeeming feature to cause Mr.
Mangas to feel proud of his ownership
of it. There had in the past been borings
Tor oil few miles distant and at other
places in the vicinity, but rome of me
drills ever opened an oil vein. Finally
the notion to try for oil seized Mr. Man.
gas, and after sinking l 800 foot shaft,
oil was struck. An immediate offer OF
5000 for the swampy farm was prompt
~ refused, and now many tunes that
sum wouldn't touch the property. Oil
now sells to the Standard Oil Company
at 10 cents per barrel; 1t used before
that company swallowed up competing
concerns, to bring dollar rer barrel
Mr.. Mangas was to have come to Oregon
this spring, but his oil find has caused a
change of plan.
