The Florence daily tribune., 1902-02-11

The Florence Consolidated Oil
company. recently formed, will at
once proceed to build its derrick
west of the city, on the Walters
ranch. The material is nearly all
on the ground On this ground is
located one producing well, and
the site of the new derrick is about
500 feet southwest of this. With
in comparatively short time the
company intends to drill on the
Wasmuth ranch also. A we'll was
drilled on this ground some time
ago by other parties and there is
1900 feet of oil now standing in
the well, proven by actual meas
urement. This already puts the
company on an almost sure footing
as regards the future for oil.
The Florence daily tribune., 1902-02-11

1t has often been asked why
gushers were not opened in the
Florence field? The reason is that
here the gas lies on top of the oil
and when the hole is drilled into
the gas it comes up ahead of the
oil. Where gushing wells are
opened the gas lies under the oil
and forces the petroleum out of
the we'll. 1t has been stated upon
several different occasions that if
the operators in this field would go
considerably deeper the conditions
may be the reverse when gushing
wells would be opened.

Just before the council adjourned
last evening Mr. ,Trullinger called at
tentlon to the fact that the work OF
the committees was often hastily done.
He thought the principal committees
should set aside one day in every two
weeks when meeting should be held
for the purpose of examining claims
and affordlng persons an opportunity
to appear and urge legislation. lie
sal1 he was satisfied the committees
Ill doing their work in an eiii-
III manner, but that too much was
left to the respective chairmen, Mr..
Svenson entertained similar View'
and recalled that during his two years
in the council committee matters had
been left entirely to the chairman
He thought the other members should
he consulted ON all matters. II Is not
at all unlikely that MT Trulllnser :
suggestion will be favonbly acted
upon.

ROTH STRDETS VACATED
BY COMMON COUNCIL

The council finally passed the two
ordinances vacating streets for the
Astoria Box Company and the Clatsop
Min Company at its meeting last
night. The box company's ordinance
was amended by the ways and means
committee, and as passed requires the
company to dedicate for public pur-
poses a strip on property on each side
of the alleyway running east OF its
East Astoria plant, so the alley may
be widened. The company gets the
foot Of Thlrty-eighth street. The Clat-
sop Mill Company's ordinance was
passed IN its original form. The COM
pany is required under its terms to
rebuild Its plant. Deeds to both va

A Good Law Sustained.

In the decision as to the validity of the
state drainage law of 1901. handed down
by the supreme court last Friday, the spir-
it of the law was considered and its tech
nical defect overlooked. The decision is
commendable because it has blocked an
attempt to defeat the operations Of a law
whose intent was plain, but more so be-,
cause it now makes plain sailing for a
measure Of the greatest potential good
to the state.
The law in question authorizes county
commissioners to dig bitches for the pur-
pose Of draining lands, the cost of the
same to be assessed against the benefited
property. Such drainage work Is prop
erly done by the public authorities be-
cause in most cases effective drainage Of
lands is. not possible WITHOUT long bitches,
crossing many different land ownerships.
Private jealousies and quarrels would
make difficult, II not impossible, both the
construction and maintenance Of such
| bitches by private companies or individ-
uals.
The total area Of land that will be Inn
proved by the application Of this law may
Iamount to million acres or more While
lwet lands are useless and worthless when

DAILY DIVERSION

Too Expensive to change-Former
Lieutenant Governor John c. Underwood
of Kentucky told story at the Canadian
Society dinner at the Arkwright Club,
about negro in his employ who was mar
ried four or five times, every time receiv-
ing as a gift IS from his employer. The
sixth time the servant appeared Mr.. I'm
derwood said: This thing has gone too
far, Sam; this time you have got to get
married In the regular form. I will get
you a license from the county clerk which
will cost $3.50, which sum I will deduct
from the IS am going to give you
Sam demurred, but finally consented to
have the license procured. He came to
Mr. Underwood's house in the evening and
when the certificate was read to him 1t
contained the name Mary Ann Jones, !"
the name of woman to whom Sam had
been paying attention.
Lands sakes marser, Marry Ann Jones
amt de woman. It's Sarah Jenkins I
wants to marry"
Colonel Underwood replied that he would
arrange 1t all right and would take out
another license, costing $1.50 which sum
he would deduct also from the S..
This is getting too expensive cried
Sam. II tink you better leave de paper
like 1t am. I did wanter marry Sarah
Jenkins but dere amt $3.50 difference
tween dem, so reckon I'll take Mary
Ann Jones dis time.

Where Stands Cannon?

Uncle Joe Cannon is being vigorously
doomed by the Chicago Tribune and the
Illinois delegation for speaker of the next
house. He certainly possesses many quail
ifications and we have been inclined to
regard him as probably. the best man in
sight for the office. There is one. point
that will have to be cleared UP, however,
before western members in great numbers
can be expected to commit themselves
fully to his support, and that is his atti-
tude toward reciprocity and tariff revision
and the presidents trust policy. 1t is
claimed for him that he is a moderate
tariff revisionist, but that he has not de-
clared himself more positively because
Of his position as chairman of the appro-
priations committee. Just why his occu-
pancy of that craftsmanship should have
any bearing on his utterances with re-
spect to the tariff it is not easy to see.
But what emphasizes the Importance of
some pretty straight, frank talk by Uncle
Joseph is the suggestion by the Chicago
Record-Herald that nobody knows where
he stands on these matters. It would be
very easy for Mr.. Cannon to set all doubt
at rest on this matter, and 1t might have
a very material effect upon his candidacy
Mr.. Cannon has the floor.
