OIL ANDGAS
At Palouse. Spokane Com
pany Secures a Large Tract
of Land.
EXPERT REPORT.

A new oil district has been found
at Palouse City, and it gives splen-
did showings of gas and oil. Spo-
kane parties have taken up the pro-
ject of sinking on land leased by
them in that section. The Pacific
Coal, Oil & Gas company of Spo-
kane has leased large tract of land
in that vicinity, and will do the GUS
tomary exploring.
The discovery of gas there was
made in most peculiar manner.
During the high water in the Pa
louse river this spring the water
rose and overflowed the land on it's
banks. At one place near the bridge
the water backed up over a piece of
ground. Some railroad men were
going to work Of a mornin &, and as
they came to the place mentioned
they heard roaring and bubbling.
After time they noticed that it
came from the agitation of the wat
ers under the bridge, which was be-
ing tossed about, and large bubbles
appeared on the surface. The men
Immediately thought that it must
come from gas, and going down
and applying match the gas over
the water exploded with considera-
BILE force, and good blaze resulted.
The men continued the fireworks
that day, and the Spokane. parties
were told of the facts and have leas-
ed a large tract of land.
THE REPORT.
Professor Aughey has prepared
report upon the district and praises
it in most fattering terms. He says:
"There are a number of small
springs on John Calvert's place In
the largest spring a large quantity
of gas is set free and comes to the
surface. On lighting match to
the gas as it comes to the surface
the flashes of fire are sudden, and
some of them are several inches
high. At one place the flame was
to the height of foot and burned a
half minute. When the blaze was
out, by prodding the hole a second
time the same result was obtained,
and on the third try we we're again
successful. There are three pros
poets on the ranch and they are all
good. The gas can be lighted on
all of them and good b2azes secured.
There could be no question as to
the nature of the gas, as an excep-
tionally brilliant yellow fame,
without any blue shade, showed
whenever the gas was ignited. The
gas when lighted also gives out q,
large amount of heat. -
AT all points visited and exam
ined there is large amount Of oil
floating ON the water: It is my be-
lief that somewhere beneath the
surface in the cretaceous rock, gas
or oil or both exist in commercial
quantities. This is not known for
certainty, but it is logically inferred
from the facts. I have myself not
known such strong indications of
gas and oil elsewhere to result in
failure, if prospecting was properly
done with a drill" SPOKANE Even

Patrick Henry. the orator,

senses were all who witnessed
this tragedy of eloquence that
not Il vestige of that speech
has been preserved, although it
was such speech as had, in
their opinion, never fallen from
human lips.
Henry now stood At the head
of the Virginia bar. He had
followed no model. He had
copied out of no books. lie had
not even formulated his speech,
save as it revolved in his mind.
The speech was born on the
moment of the occasion.
Patrick Henry. as no other
man, kept the people with him.
He bowed to their majesty, not
in humiliating condescension.
but in the deep sense of regard
in which he really held them.
1t is said that he affected their
manner and even their inaCcu.
racies in speech, pronunciation
and grammar, simply to keep
in favor with them.

natural to him and were always
counted against him.
