ONTARIO WILL BORE FOR OIL.
Confident They Have it and Also Gas
Company VIII Explore.

That oil will be found at Ontario
and vicinity and that its discovery
will bring much good to eastern Ore
gon is the firm belief of Clyde C.
Hunt of ontario, who is here today.
Mr.. Hunt, who is a son of G.. w. Hunt,
the well known land owner and build
er of the w. & C. R. railroad, is in
terested in a ranch near Ontario and
was in that town a few days ago. In
telling of the company that is being
formed there for the purpose of boring
for oil, he said:
THE company is being formed en-
tirely by local people, although it
would be no trouble to secure outside
capital. Each man owning land is
allowed 10 shares of stock for each
acre of land, and it is the intention to
secure $4,000 acres in this manner
The ready cash that will be needed
will be raised by the sale of stock to
other Malheur county people"
According to Mr.. Hunt the water
wells at ontario and for 40 miles away
indicate the presence of gas. In some
instances the gas arises from the
bored wells in such a volume that a
man cannot hold his hand over the
end of the pipe for any length of time.
At one of the homes in Ontario there
is such a quantity of gas coming to
the surface constantly that when light
ed it will illuminate for a brock away.
That the gas is an indication of oil
is declared by experts and the peo-
ple of Ontario have been told that oil
will certainly be found by going to a
sufficient depth. This they now pro-
pose to do.

address TO the Americans.

The insurgents have issued the fol-
lowing address:
Headquarters in the field, Central
Adrieta Plantation. near Cruces, >an-
Ia Clara province, September II, 1905:
To the American People:
Difficulties have arisen among us,
questions Of liberty and of law, OF
peace. We do not ask for sympathy:
we ask only an open field that we
may settle with Cubans and for Gu
bans the issues that we have joined
Under the empty name of a repub-
lie, the shackles of overthrown Span
ish dominion have again been impos-
ed upon us. Our constitution has been
cast aside with contemptuous egotism,
the royal laws of the ancient regime
have been revived, and issued to us
with the very forms and words of the
royal Spanish DEGREES. Absolutism
was again fastening itself upon Cuba
and in the more dangerous guise and
formulas OF a republican system that
was but the shell of democratic ideals.
The Intervention of the United States
we do not wish. This is our own Gu
ban question; question of our rights
and liberties that we ourselves must
settle And in considering the ques-
tion we ask consideration of the fact
that 1t is one fraught with more con-
sequence to Cuba than of momentary
commercial loss or gain.
The rights and properties of Amer
icans will be respected by our forces
To those Americans who believe in
the liberties of all people and that
right and justice should triumph,
even over peace, we present our cause
and ask their sympathy.

There has been something doing in
the local sheep market during the past
few weeks, many trades having been
agreed upon in which delivery is to
be made upon the return of the sheep
from the mountains this fall. In most
cases the deals have all been between
local men, and such good prices have
been paid that one of the conditions
required by the buyer is that the price
be kept secret.
In general, the prices for all grades
of sheep this fall have been unusual
ly strong. Lambs have been selling
from s2.75 to SO per head; ewes have
brought from $3.50 to $3.50. and the
price Of wethers has ranged from
$3.50 to 1915.
In the deals that have been made
between local men the buyers as a rule
are men who have winter range ana
buy sheep in the fall for the purpose
of wintering them and selling again
in the spring. AS a rule there is a
strong demand for sheep for this pur-
pose and consequently the local stu.
alton tends to keep prices at a gooS
figure. However, a number of sales
have been made this fall to outside
buyers.

Sheepmen Will Protest.

Among the sheepmen or the county
1t is the general sentiment that q re-
duction of 90 per cent in the num-

would he sufficient, and that the
ranges would then last indefinitely.
Consequently it is probable that they
will ask the department to forego the
80 per cent idea and cut down the
number in manner that would work
less injury to the business.
In some parts of the reserves the
range is said to have been crowded
this summer, while in other SECTIONS
the grass is said to have been better
than for Years, with the result that the
sheep are now in splendid condition.
