WILL BORE FOR OIL
Work on Whiteaker Farm East of
Dallas Will Be Resumed by
ID. M. Watson.

B. F. Whitaker, prominent farmer
residing near Monmouth, was in Dali
las, Saturday morning. Mr.. Whitea.
ker has just completed a contract by
which he hopes to secure the oil which
he is confident exists in paying quan-
titles on his land.
A portion of the land has been leased
to D. M. Watson. of Portland, a man
Of years Of experience in that line Of
work. Mr.. Watson has contracted to
begin sinking the first we'll within
eight days, and to have 1t completed
within four months after its beginning.
From that time his lease Is to continue
for 10 years, or during the time In
which oil In paying quantities is
secured from the various wells. Mr..
Whitaker is to receive liberal roy
atty from the profits OF the industry.
The contour of the land in that place
and the texture Of the soil is claimed
by many who are competent judges
to be strikingly similar to that Of the
oil fields Of Pennsylvania and other
oil states, and many encouraging
evidences Of the presence Of a consid-
cradle quantity of oil have been found.
1t will be remembered by many that
we'll was commenced at that place
about four years ago. The enterprise
, was financed by local capital and the
we'll was sunk to considerable depth
before the project was finally aban-
doned. The work had been placed in
the hands OF inexperienced workmen,
and when the drilling had progressed
to a considerable depth, water was
allowed to get into the well through
an unfortunate mistake, and the labor
OF several months was ruined.
Mr.. Whitaker did not give up his
conviction that oil existed In paying
quantities upon his property, how

Give Good Open Program.

The joint open meeting OF the two
literary societies Of Dallas College,
held In the chapel last night was very
well attended and greatly appreciated
by all OF the friends and patrons OF
the college who were present The lit
erary portion Of the program, consist
ing OF essays, orations and original
stories, was Of an especially high order
Of excellence, and showed great care
in its preparation. A piano Duet by
Professor Caldwell and Miss Edith
Yates, and a mixed quartette were
among the noteworthy musical feat
ures Of the entertainment and the
''Utopian Chorus" sung by the girls
at the close Of the program was excep-
tionalIy fine. A reading by Alphus
Boyd, the society paper by Miss Ada
Osfield and burlesque music by the
famous "Highbinders' Orchestra" Of
the PhiladeIphian Society, added the
humorous touches that served to make
the entertainment 9 complete success.

music will be furnished by the Faculty
quartet, the Normal girls glee club,
and an orchestra of Is pieces. Ample
time will be given for the enjoyment

songs incident to such occasions.

test, and covers will be laid for $50
guests. The orchestra will supply

AT SQUIRREL ISLAND.
Bucket Brigade Stops Bad Grass Fire
on the East Shore.

Squirrel Island, Me-, July 16.-(Spe-
ciaD Fire broke out on the east shore
of the island about 1890 this morning.
The alarm was sounded on the chapel
bell and the cottagers with buckets
fastened to the scene The fire was
confined to the grass and trees on the
shore just east of the row of cottages
on the south shore The fire got a
good start but couldn't make much
Roadway against the strong northwest
wind that was blowing. a row Of men
was formed from the shore to the
scene of the fire. They passed buckets
Of water along in quick succession I'M
til the quantity was equal to what a
large fire hose could displace. The
young ladies of the island formed an
other line and returned the empty
buckets.
The cause of the fire Is unknown
but as it is in a secluded spot was I'M
doubtedly caused by carelessness. All
the cottagers are now on the alert and
the assistance of all is solicited to
avoid a confagration. Care should be
exercised by everyone and especially
by careless smokers.
