YAKIMA OIL COMPANY
HAS BEEN INCORPORATED
Prominent Yakima Citizens Invest
in Knox County, Kentucky, Oil
Property Capital 10000.

A company has been formed in North
Yakima for the purpose Of developing
1000 acres of land in Knox County, Ken
lucky, situated in the midst of and sur
rounded by oil fields now paving big
profits to their owners. The develop
ment of this land will consist in boring
wells for crude oil, and judging from the
success of companies operating on land
contiguous with the local company's
property, there is every reason to be
sanguIne of the Yakima Oil Company's
prospects.
Colonel Edward Parker, of Kentucky,
brother to Attorney Fred Parker, of this
city, has been chiefly instrumental in or
ganzing the present company and to
him has been entrusted the RESPONSE
bility of looking after the company's
interests in the far off southern state.
The Colonel left Saturday night for
Kentucky with this object in view.
Articles OF incorporation were filed
with the County Auditor last Friday
and the incorporators are: Harry
Coonse, f. f. Kelso, J. T. Foster, Ed
Parker, Bessie McPhee, Edward Whtson
and Fred Parker.
The stockholders in the company so
far are: Edward Whitson, Fred Parker,
Bessie McPhee, Ruby Whitson, Ed
Parker, +. f. Kelso, j. T Foster. F.. r.
Leaning, d. f. Lesh, w. J. Roaf, H. J..
Bicknell and Harry Coonse.
d. +. Lesh and Harry Coonse were
elected President and Secretary of the
company respectively.
The pipe line of the Standard Oil
Company runs through the land of the
local incorporators and the success of
fields adjoining this thousand acres
makes the proposition an alluring one.

Sheep Mems Harvest.

The sheep men are are just about
closing their harvest season. While the
spring has been cold and backward and
not generally considered favorable
spring for the sheep raiser, the reports
coming in from the lambing camps are
more favorable than for several years.
Willis Mercer, one of the local growers.
has Just marked 100 per cent increase in
a 5000 flock with the usual per cent of
dry sheep. His lambing season began
about the 2OIh of February and ran well
into March. He now has lambs that
would be welcomed in the eastern
market.
William Stegerman. a klickitat grow
er, reports fully as good on less favor
able range than the one occupied by
Mr.. Mercer He marked over 100 per
cent increase on March Landing sea-
son and his sheep all in good thriving
condition.
With big crop OF lambs, 4 good clip
of wool commanding a higher price than
is usual on the western market, and a
prospect for plenty OF feed on the sum-
mer range the business bids fair to
pass through another season of prosper
ity.-Prosser Record.
