MANY ASTORIANS
VISIT DEEP RIVER
TO WITNESS THE WORKINGS
AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE
GAS AND OIL HOLDINGS IN
THAT SECTION.

About IS Astorians went to Deep
River Sunday afternoon on the Julia
h. the guests OF the Pacific Coast Oil
& Gas Company to witness their
operations in the development ot
their oil and gas properties. The day
was beautiful and the trip was
immensely enjoyed by all, Among
the gathering were many prominent
business men OF Astoria On arrival
the visitors were shown throughout
the plant, and to Mr.. Nelson's resi-
dence. where they saw where gas IS
secured for lighting, heating and
cooking purposes, just a few ieet
from where the we'll is being sunk.
There isn't the slightest doubt that
the company mean business in its
hunt for oil, for extensive prepara'
tions have already been made Thou
sands OF dollars worth OF equipment
are on the grounds, besides the o.
foot derrick which has already been
erected, the boiler and engine has
also been installed. On Friday the
drill was sunk for about three hours
iust to test the working oi the ma
chincrv. The hole was sunk ~ feet
through the ground when they struck
slack, and as the casing had not yet
arrived il was impractical to continue
with the work on account OF the earth
caving in. so operations we're sus'
pended for a few days The casing has
been ordered from Los Angeles. and
is expected to arrive today and as
soon as il can be removed to the
grounds work will resume and con
tinued until oil is struck or a depth
Of approximately 1000 feet Is reached
| Not only are the indications favorable
for finding oil in paying quantities II
this locality, but geologists clam th'
oil is OF much better quality thal
that which is found in California, a
it has parafin base, and the bi
products will be OF great value
whereas the California oil il ot as
phaltum base and is by-products ar
practically useless.

Fell From Aloft--

A Young man employed as riggcr
nm the schooner Churchill which Is
living at her owning companys dock
at Knappton, while serving gear
aloft on the mizzen mast, yesterday
morning early, lost his hold above
and went crashing down onto the
after housing, a distance OF nearly
100 feet, death being almost instan-
taneous. Charles Calender, OF the
Calender Navigation Company went
over at once, but there was nothing
to do but report the unhappy circum-
stance TO the coroner who took
charge of the remains yesterday after
noon. The man was a stranger to
nearly everybody over there and his
name could not be ascertained. On
his dreadful fall he struck his throat
on some projection and this lett al
ugly wound, but the fact that it did
not bleed at all profusely indicates
that his death was not caused by tins
circumstance, but by the deadly I'M
pulse OF the fall or the impact OF hi
body on the housing.

Mr.. Calender, of course, will taxi
all steps to save the property II am
of it ever reaches this end OF tn.

hardly likely single stick OF this BIZ

and the headwaters of the mighty Co

work and, even the lower reaches ar

Hon. Herman Wise, mayor OF As,
toria, has had the ordinance hereto.
fore passed by the Common Council
in behalf OF the Clatsop Fuel Com
pany, under consideration for some
DAYS past and yesterday re-hled the
same with City Judge Anderson, with
his veto attached, and the same will
be presented in council at the session
OF that body on Monday night next
The text OF the veto message is as
follows:
Astoria, Ore, June 8, 1908
"To the Honorable Common Council.
"Gentlemen:-l herewith return
without my approval an ordinance
entitled, An ordinance granting to
the "Clatsop Fuel Company" the
right to construct, acquire, own, main
tain, conduct and operate plant or
plants for the manufacture and dis
tribution OF gas within the corporate
limits OF the city OF Astoria, Clatsop
county, State of Oregon, and to sell
gas for domestic and other purposes
and to lay pipes and mains and con
Quoting said gas through and over the
streets, alleys and public places OF
the city
"In returning this ordinance wish
to express myself as in favor OF grant
ing the said Clatsop Fuel Company
franchise, but after carefully reading
over said ordinance | find:
"First-That the ordinance was
passed before the Clatsop Fuel Com
pany had effected organization o.
elected officers, and it may be thu
means OF saving litigation in tn
future to repass the ordinance afte
the company has organized and elect
ed its board OF officers.
"Second-It may lead to dispute II
the future if the price Tor gas is Il
be fixed or rather lowered when tn
United States census and the censu
of the State shall show this city t
have more than 10000 population; tn
State census may not agree with tn
United States census and it appear
TO me that a better way would be t
lower the rate after the expiration O
five years.
"Third-I am OF the opinion also
that $l.50 per 1000 cubic feet is to
high a sum to pay for natural ga
at any time, considering the rate
charged elsewhere.
Iastly-If it is the purpose OF thi
ordinance to give to the Clatsop Fut
Company a franchise so as to encouI
age it to bore for oil and gas in Cla'
sop county then the ordinance shoul
provide: that this ordidance be ete'
tive only, so long as the said Clatso
Fuel Company supplies gas produce
in Clatsop county.
81 therefore return the above
named ordinance, hoping that yov
| honorable body may see fit to CIV
r the suggestions made by me and sue
other ideas as may in the meantin
| have occurred to your careful col
! sideration. Very respectfully,
"HERMAN WISE,
Mayor"
