oil AND WATER
SPOUT 200 FEET
Well at Payette, Ida, Is Per-
forming in a Most Spec
tacuIar Manner.

A second gas blowout from oil well No.
of the Oregon Oil & Gas company has
cite has. in addition to the many rich
resources that now abound here. the
great resource of natural gas and oil and
all that is now needed is for the bodies
of gas and oil to be tapped and the gas
and oil utilized. Only those who have
been so fortunate as to live in the sec
lions of country where such finds have
been made and have witnessed the de-
veiopment which follows can fully re-
alize all that this discovery means to
Payette.
Even more spectacular than the first
blowout was the second one, which oc-
CURED Tuesday morning about III CLOCK,
Just twelve days from the time the gas
first forced itself through the opening.
The force of the demonstration was much
greater this time, and oil, water and sand
were shot into the air fully 200 feet. Big
rocks were also thrown out of the well
and pieces of Trenton rock with black
particles that look like high grade BIZ
luminous coal. Men experienced in oil
fields say that the oil sand thrown out
is the finest sample of the sand they
have ever SEEN
The blowout came from the same depth
as the first one about 20 feet. For a
number of days the driller had been en-
gagged in cleaning out the sand which
plugged the well at the time OF the flrst
demonstration. AS soon as il was loos-
ened up to the original depth the gas
broke through again.
For nearly thirty minutes before the
blowout occurred water and oil poured
out of the well in a stream which rose
two or three feet above the top of the
casing. The flow became so strong that
the driller had to take the bailer, which.
he was using, out of the well so there
were no tools in the well at the time the
gas blew. The blowout was of shorter
duration than the first time and when
the force subsidized a plug was, driven into
the well There is about the same amount
of oil i'm the well as before.
Manager G.. w. Taylor says he has
enough gas in the well to furnish gas to
Payette for heating and lighting pur-
poses. He has notified the city council
that at their next regular meeting he
will ask for a franchise for piping the
city.
Nothing more is TO be done to the we'll
until the company is prepared to handle
the gas. Another well will be sunk with
in a few feet of the first one. Lumber is
now being hauled to the place for the
erection of a derrick. This well will be
fourteen inches, whereas the first one
was only eight. 1t will be drilled with
the rotary drilling machine, which has
been ordered.
1t is the intention to drill the next we'll
deeper than the first one, with the eX-
pectation of tapping the oil lake which
is now known to be beneath this basin.
Quarters for the men have been built
at the well apd the work Will be pushed
without interruption.

NEW IDEA" MOVEMENT
NOT DEAD SAYS GRUBB

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 11.-General
e. Burd Grllbb, of Edgewater Park,
Burlington county, who managed the
Colby campaign in that section last
fall, stated at the city hall yesterday
that the new movement was not dead
in South Jersey and that it would be
infused with new life this year.
He declared that since the last
election and the declaration of some
South Jersey senator's and assembly
men for the reelection of United
States Senator John F. Dryden, that
hundreds of republicans who had
voted with the state machine had
told him that this year they will vote
with the New Idea" people because
of Dryden.
He considered that La Follette's
trip to New Jersey had done more
than anything else to damage the
chances of Dryden for reelection. He
believed that the next United States
senator will come from South Jersey
and that there is no concerted action
yet on the part of the machine men
to agree on candidate since Cover
nor Stokes positively refused to be
a candidate.

that it was caused by escaping gas.
The damage amounted to about $50.

WANT ASSESSMENT OF NEARLY
HALF MILLION DOLLARS SET ASIDE
Susquehanna Coal
Co. Appeals to
County Board.
MAKE CONTEST

The County Board of Equalization
South Amboy yesterday, and. al
though only twelve appeals were
heard, Clerk w. A. Spencer said to-
day, in speaking about the meeting

ments.

taken up with the matter of an appeal
by the Susquehanna Coal Company,
which asked through it's counsel, l.
d. West, of Danville, Pa, that it's
assessment of $450,000 for personal
taxes be set aside. Attorney West
claimed that the 10000 tons of coal
assessed at So ton, which is now
stored on the Pennsylvania Railroad
Companys property at South Amboy,
was not liable, as it was, he claimed
in transit.
Witnesses were sworn, and the
witnesses for the coal company
backed up the counsels statements.
Some of the witnesses stated that the
coal had remained at South Amboy
in the bins for four months at time,
which, counsel for company claimed,
was only short time for coal to re-
main in one place before being sent
to its destination.
G. H. Bissett, superintendent of
the Susquehanna Coal Company, was
also present at the hearing and con-
ferred with superintendent John
Scully, of the South Amboy yards.
Lawyer #. NJ. P. Pearse, of South
Amboy, represented the borough.
Tne board after all the witnesses
had been heard, reserved decision
on the appeal and will consider the
matter in private. The testimony
was taken down stenographically and
will be used by the board later. 1t
is understood that the coal company
intends to fight the matter hard
The board will meet at the court
house at New Brunswick next Thurs

At that time the board will also
