IN MEMORY OF WHISTLER.
The coming Whistler Memorial Ex-

be an uncommonly complete and rep
resentative collection of the American
artists work in every style Prac-
ticaIly every Whistler picture of note
will be on view, excepting the portrait
of Lady Archibald Campbell, with
which the trustees Of the Philadelphia
Museum are not allowed by law to
part. The International Society Of
Sculptors, Painters AMI Graveurs
which is organizing this exhibition, and
of which Whistler was the first presi-
dent, appreciates greatly the generous
treatment which it has received from
owners of the artists works the world
over-Americas In particular.
Perhaps the picture which will have
the greatest interest for connoisseurs
will be that known as THE Large
White Girl" owned by Whittemore Of
New Haven. This is the picture which
was painted by Whistler in the early
sixties and rejected at the Salon in
1863, but later shown in the Salon des

OIL IN CROOK COUNTY.
Remarkably Strong Vent OF Gas in the
Early Work.

Early Work.
The ranch Of d. w. Barnett, near
Culver, in Crook county, on which
petroleum indications were found last
fall, has been bonded to a company Of
Portland men for $40, ,OO0.. Mr.. Bar
nett retains a fourth interest in the
property to profit by the work in the
event Of an oil discovery.
Oil was first discovered on the Bar
nett ranch six months ago. A well had
been sunk to depth of nearly 800 feet
when the odor of gas was noted.
As the shaft was drilled deeper the
escaping gas became greater in vol
ume, until it was almost impossible to
work in the vicinity. Later, when
sand from the well was brought to the
surface, it was found to be impreg-
mated with petroleum, which burned
readily when flame was applied.
The discovery Of petroleum led Bar
nett to continue the work Of drilling,
and as the work progressed the noise
of the escaping gas grew louder. a
periodical escape of gas has established
itself with great regularity.
The indisputable petroleum indica-
tions have been the source of much
interest and many inquiries and
several offers have been made the
owner to induce him TO sell or bond
his property. Representative of the
Standard Oil company have also look
ed over the property.
It is the intention of those who have
taken up the bonds on the ranch to
push the work of drilling as fast al
possible and arrangements have been
made TO resume operations next week.
Mr.. Mason expresses the belief that
a flow Of petroleum will be struck
before the well has attained depth
of 900 feet. The bond provides that
those holding it shall drill not less
than /, 900 feet inside Of one year from
the date Of the contract.
The machinery on the ground viii

petroleum is not struck at the depth

are Looked Into.
Portland, April 5.-The Booth Kelly
Lumber company is undergoing the
rigid investigation of the federal grand
jury, which reconvened this morning
to resume the task of probing into the
land frauds. Important indictments
are expected to result The Booth
Kelly company has operated on huge
scale in timber lands in Oregon, and
within comparatively few years it has
assumed great wealth.
The methods by which the company
acquire its lands have been the subject
of careful investigation by the gov
ernment, and evidence has been OBJ
tanned which is regarded as conclu-
sive that gross frauds were practiced.
Vast tracts of the most valuable tim
Der land in the northwest were secur-
ed by the company, the means employ
ed being substantially the same used
by the notorious Puter Mckinley
ring.
State Senator r. A. Booth, the presi-
dent of the company, and George,
John and Abraham Kelly, his part
ners, are in Portland in response to
subpoenas and are awaiting the action
of the grand jury. A small army of
witnesses has been gathered by the

ed today.

PORTLAND REVIVAL GROWS.
Thirty Meetings Day Being Attended
BY Fully 15, 900 People.


Portland's great revival meetings
are growing in extent and force and
Wednesday from l 1::osn to 2 o'clock all
the principal business houses of the
city remained closed, to allow en-
ployes to attend noon meetings.
1t is estimated that 10000 people
attended the 80 meetings held in 30
different places in the city at noon.
The average daily attendance at the
meetings is about $4,000 there being
on an average of 80 meetings each
week day except Sunday, on which
day the entire evangelistic force rests.
1t is impossible to compute the num-
ber of conversions since the revival
began. Some of the leading ministers
of the city estimate that $500 have
confessed religion. Others place the
number at even higher figure.
Those confessing religion are not re-
quired to ioin stated church at the
time but may ally themselves with any
church organization they may choose
after the meetings are over.
