Some of The Surprises.

One of the greatest surprises in
the returns from the Eleventh dis
trict was when Napier Adam was
found to be running ahead of the
Republican ticket when it was
drought that he would run several
hundred votes behind. On account
of the fractional fight in Pulaski it
was thought that the Republican
ticket would run behind the vote
cast in 1900 and it was thought GER
tain that Adams would be scratched,
but the reverse was true and he led
the whole ticket.
Marion county also furnished a
surprise. The Republican legisla-
tive candidate was elected by a small
majority. This is the first time that
the Republicans ever elected a legis-
lative candidate from Marion coun-
ty. Although the legislative can
didate was elected, Hager and the
Democratic State ticket carried the
county by about 100 votes.
Fleming county showed a falling
off, and with several precincts mis-.
sing gave a majority Of only seven
for Hager and the State ticket. The
Republicans claim that they have
carried Fleming county.
Light Vote In First District
The returns from the big Demo-
cratic counties in the First district
showed that many Democrats had
STAYED at home and the votes were

HARVEST HANDS SCARCE

The greatest disadvantage Of
the farmers in harvesting the
big wheat crop is the lack Of help.
Some, whose grain has been ripe
for over a week, are still unable
10 TO cut it on account Of the
scarcity of harvest hands. 9th
ers in different sections are ex-
changing help and we have heard
of several who are working with
only one team in the field. Har-
vest help is scarcer this year
than ever before in this part Of
the country and this is the year
Of all years that it is most need
ed. Brakeman Mcqueen on the
local branch has helped the far
mers as much if not more than
any other one man in the county
by bringing up men from Airing
ton to work in the harvest fields.
The great majority who land in
Arlington will not believe there
can be any farming country out
here and it is only by guarantee
ing them lots Of work that they
can be induced to venture out
this way and this what Mr.. Nc
Queen has been doing, convinc-
ing them that there is a big coun-
try here and guaranteeing them
work if they come and he has ev-
en- paid the railroad fare of sew
eral just 10 bring them out for
the farmers. The prevailing
wages is $3.50 per day but a few
who live some distance from
town and need help very badly
are offering $500.

PLENTY OF WATER

II has been rumored that the
city's springs at Hay Creek are
giving out. However, this is a
false report. The engine has
been pumping steadily for two
weeks into the big reservoirs and
the smaller reservoir at Hay
Creek has been lowered only half
an inch during that time. This
is good showing and may con-
vince a few of the knockers there
is plenty of water at Hay Creek
to supply larger city than Con-
don. There are always a few
people who are skeptical regard
ing any new enterprise and there
were a few around Condor who
were sure that the venture of the
city in buying the Hay Creek
ranch and installing an engine
there would be an absolute fail
ure but the fact that a so h. p.
engine and a double action pump
working steadily can lower the
water only half an inch in two
weeks should convince the most
skeptical that we need not fear
a shortage of water for some
time at least. It is a proven fact
that Condor has as good a water
system as any town of it's size in
Oregon.

A BOUNTEOUs HARVEST

Harvest is in full blast in this
county as we send out this issue
and it is proving to be the larg-
est it the history Of the county.
Few il any fields will yield less
than 20 bushels per acre and a
large percentage will go as high
as thirty-five, forty and even
more than forty bushels per acre.
The weather could not be bet
ter for the purpose and the price
promises to be extremely good.
The few days Of east wind this
week, while being rather hard
on unmatured spring grain, did
no damage worth speaking of
throughout the county. All this
will make our people prosperous
to an extent they have not en-
joyed for a number of years past.
1t is therefore meet that we
should all be grateful for this
bounteous harvest. Give thanks
unto the Lord, or if you don't
believe in Him, thank Hatfield
the rainmaker, or the weather
bureau. or somebody or some
thing else. Show gratitude of
some sort and if you can't do it
in a better way, seek out the
poor and unfortunate in your
neighborhood and divide up a
little with them. 1t will do you
good and will not hurt them.
Don't be an migrate.

Great Lake of Oil.

Mr.. John w. Emmer OF New
Iberia, writes to the Times Demo-
crat under date of Nov. %, 1907
as follows:
u write this becau-e l think it
To be of the greatest interest of
The people of our State to know
that we not only have the greatest
sulphur mines and rock salt mines,
but that We also have the greatest
oil deposits of the world. Every
showing 10 this section goes to
prove this. Some forty five years
back a man named RandoIf wrote
a book in a cooper shop on the
banks If the Teche in the town 1T
St. Martiaville. In this book,
amongs, other things, he stated
that there existed lake of oil un-
der the parishes of st. Martin and
Iberia, branches from this lake
extended into the parishes of CAL
casieu and million. These
branches would give out. lie said,
but this AXE of oil would supply
the world for thousand years or
more. This book il in existence.
Now. in my opinion, every proof
exists that he wrote correctly. Iu
the Jennings field at one time be-
longing to the parish of Calcasieu
these wells produce aud give out,
and others are put down. In the
Anse la Butte field for years until
recently was considered also a see
page field. The gusher lately
brought in in that field may have
entered one of these outlets like
all lakes have, or may be in part
of this lake. The gusher is situa-
ted in the parish of st. Martin.
Now every proof exists that Ban
dolf was correct, for here in the
upper portion of Iberia, for miles
in different directions, are the
strongest showings of oil and gas.
4 gentleman told me yesterday
that the gas bubbled up the mid-
die of Spanish Lake. Here at the
waterworks aud electric light COM
pany the gas would ignite aud
burn out some four or five feet.
Some five or six miles southeast,
below Iberia, we get the same re-
suits from II 2 inch pipe. Here at
New Iberia gas aud oil show.
Some few miles southwest oil and
gas show ro indications. but the
pure stuff is in all of those places
ment'rnr,,. Bayou Teche for

SO that boatmau coming up the
Teche some fifteen years ago aud
coming from the oil regions, made
the remark that there must be all
oil factory up the bayou, judging
from the thick, oily scum that eA-
listed on the surface of the water.
In showing hls boat with u pole he
would Often strike pool which
showed oil in large quantities.
All this Is the best proof that
Raudolf was correct in what he
wrote about this great lake of oil
that undoubtedly exists here.
Now. | write this in the interest
of my people, aud l am confident
when once exploited ali will prove
