Failure of the Warren company to
file vouchers or receipts of some sort
for wages paid to men employed on
the pipe line has already caused con-
siderable comment and the company
may yet be called upon to furnish
these vouchers in accordance with the
contract between the city and the
Warren company.
One member of the council pointed
out today that without these receipts
the city was without protection from
men employed on the line who could
come in and set up a claim they had

Watson, queen Of the Land Frauds"
A. D. Puter, now under conviction,
was released on her own recognizance
from the county jail today where she
has been prisoner since July when
she surrendered by her bondsmen.
Sentence was never passed though
she was convicted in December, 1904.
Her release was at the instance of the

For every dollar subscribed you will

The money SO invested will not only
set to rest the contention that oil ex-
lists in the Walla Walla Valley, but it
will give you your proportion of any
profits that accrue from the discov-
cry of oil in The Two Medicine( I'M

county, Montana, where the company
are now sinking a well.
We are down now to depth Of 1000
feet. The last report under date of
August 22nd, says: 1--WE are passing
through oil shaIe and still have
heavy carburated gas Indications"
If we get a we'll in Montana the
money invested here will bring you
back large returns.
If we get a we'll at Walla Walla,
you will not only realize large
profit on the money so invested, but
you will have contributed toward an
enterprise that means the doubling
of the population of Walla Walla
within a short time and the conse-
quent enhancement of property
values
You say. it seems too good to be
true. Oil has been discovered and pro-
ducing wells brought out in Montana,
Wyoming. California, Colorado. Brit
ish Columbia and other places west
of the Rocky Mountains, why should
it not be here?
WE HAVE THE SURFACE INDI-
CATIONS-Prof Samuel Aughey, Phi.
who has visited this
district on two different occasions,
says, "That surface indications are
not absolutely essential, since pro-
ductive wells have been obtained in
oil territory where no indication of
its presence existed, save the favor
able geological conditions. But sur

face indications are cumulative evil
dence Of the presence Of petroleum
beneath the surface rocks"
THE EVIDENCE IS HERE: DO
YOU NOT THINK 1T IS WORTH
THE VENTURE? When the coEl-
panys selling agent calls on you, do
not tell him you can't afford it. You
can't afford not to subscribe to an en-
terprise of this character
The discovery of oil or gas will
mean for Walla Walla, BETTER
RAILROAD FACILITIES; the es-
tablishment of FACTORIES AND
REFINERIES. 1t means more peo-
pie, a bigger, better city. 1t means a
larger pay roll and more prosperity.
You are a part Of Walla Walla and
will share in the general prosperity
that will come if we succeed.
Help us to succeed. 1t don't mean
