there is oil there in paying quantities
The oil that comes to the surface has
been found to be of fine quality, and
it is only a question of determining
the amount that can be found.
An important gold discovery has
been made 90 miles south of Burley

are hereafter granted the applicants
must show first that they mean bus

REDUCE PORTAGE CREW.
Force May BE Cut Down Until Boats
are Secured.

At an informal meeting of the port
age road board yesterday afternoon,
the recent serious loss of the steam
er Jerome by sinking was the chief
topic of discussion says the Salem
Statesman.
The subject was discussed informal
Iy by the board yesterday, and the con-
sensus of the opinion of the members
was that, unless the road be put into
full operation right away, the force
of employees would be reduced as the
state cannot afford to pay full force
employed and under pay when there is
no employment for them.
The board of state has nothing to
do with the engagement of a boat to
ply upon the upper river, but the
members of the board do not think
the Open River association will have
any serious difficulty in finding an
other boat to take the Jerome's place
in time to relieve the congestion OF
traffic which is bound to occur as
result of the unfortunate accident.

den by his mother to go in swimming
ran away from school and had a
bully time at the old swimming hole.
When he came home his mother
whose suspicious were asoused, took
him to task:
"Jimnie, have you been in swim
naing?"
Looking her straight in the eye the
boy said: Mother you may lick
me, but I won't lie to you, l was"
Remembering the story of the Fa-
ther of his country, the woman
thinking she had for son another
Washington, clasped him in her arms
and said:-
@My boy it was wrong to disobey
your mother, but am glad that you
will not lie to escape punishment" :"
An hou, after the boys brother
asked him why ne had owned up SO
promptly.
"Huh," said the boy, that little
title tale, Jim Snoops, was in with
US and I tied his shirt up into six
knots and he said he was comm
over here to tell mother where I'd
been and I figured that if didn't
tell her, I was maybe in for three
lickings, one for goin' in swimmin',
one for lynn, and one for tyin' them
knots. I hadn't nuthin' to lose and
everything to gain by workin' the
George Washington business on
