OIL STORIES FROM
ALAMOGORDO POPULAR
Strong Indications Found at Various
Points Near the White
Sands

Alamogordo, n. M, May 2.-For in
teresting oil prospect l4ws, your cor
respondent would recall'some nine or
ten years ago, when Judge y. M. Suth-
erland of this place ard J. A. Eddy,
now of Denver, and ajSaoil man. from
California, whose name he cannot now
remember went prospecting at To-
cation some forty miles west of Ala
mogordo, near the upper section of the
White Sands. They made a very i'm
portant discovery in the way of oil
signs and agreed that what they
found was caused BY a gas explosion
many years ago. The surface indica-
tions, which are there now, showed
that as an accumulation of oil on top
of a body of oil exploded, it threw out
an immense quantity of oil and satur-
ated the whole country round about.
Such is very probable since continued
gas accumulation must eventually find
a vent and exploding will be follow
ed by a flow of oil. No better surface
oil indications can be found anywhere
and Judge Sutherland will substanti-
ate this statement.
Another highly interesting oil story
is that based upon the discovery OF
gas by j. C. Beam, who. is also a
citizen Of this place. A few years ago
while Mr.. Beam was digging well on
a claim east of town, at the depth OF
1874 feet he struck gas. The flow was
so strong that he was compelled to
climb out. Securing help and drill
a hole was made several feet down
when the gas became so strong that
all workmen had to abandon the
work. Mr.. Beam not having means
with which to continue the work plug
ged the hole and sealed the well, and
it is there today to speak for itself
Nearby this Beam gas well are de
posits of coal, shale and other OF
signs. With such unmistakable signs
of oil and gas Alamogordo naturally
feels that in the unexplored state, this
section is near great reservoir o.
oil and gas.

The Alumni Association OF the

APPLE BRINGS UP
Tender MEMORIES
CALLS UP SCENES
FROM JOYOUS BOYHOOD
Lynn c. Doyle Grows Reminiscent and
Dwclls Upon Profound Influence Of
Apple Over Its Devotees.

Spokane, Wash. Nov. S,-Lynn c.
Doyle, president of the Northwest APP
pie Consumers association was in a
reminiscent mood as he dwelt upon
the profound influence which the ap-
Pile exerts over its devotees.

linger in his mind as long as life lasts,
il is the delightful sensation he ex-
perienced when as n boy he hooked
his first apple out of a neighboring
orchard. I know of no sensation TO
compare with it unless 1t is that in
cident to borrowing a juicy water
melon out of patch that needed
thinning. Tim think of the thrill or
the excitement that acted as posi-
tive tonic to the system and gave the
speed OF the wind to our feet when
we were suddenly ambuscaded by the
hired man and a dog or two.
Some of my most lasting impress
sions of the apple were those that
came to me on these long and de-
lightful winter evenings in my boy
hood home when, as regular as clock
work. heaping pans of rosy Baldwin,

clothed russets were brought up from
the cellar and spread in tempting ar
ray on the sitting room table.

NoRMALs OUT OF POLITICS.

Now that there Is to be NO trading
Of legisla<ive votes nor los-rolling to
eecure appropriations for the State
Normal schools OF Oregon. We are to
expect two things:
Ffrst-That the legislative bodies
will give consideration to bills before
them solely on their merits and not
for trading" purposes; and
Second-That the question OF Nor
NAL schools Is question OF Normal
schools only and not ono OF abnormal
politics.
This 10 q good thing-good for the
schools and good for politics. Let the
people carefully consider these points:
Can we do without State Normal
schoolsi
Can we do better than to continue
the schools as at present located?
Almost without division the people
believe that Oregon should and must
support State Normal schools. To be
sure they want better schools than
they have ever had, and they want
them free from political Interference
and legislative trickery.
No argument worthy OF note has
been brought forward to show that one
Normal Is better than three. It has
been argued that one viii cost less
than three. but none VIII cost less
than ons-and what we want ie a sys-
tem Of directed Normal sohools that
will provide trained teachers for ev'
cry scAool Even the opposition claim
to favor one or two efficient state
Normal schools properly located,
and here seems 10 be the bone OF con
tendon-kocelity OF the school.
The state has almost 100000 square
miles OF territory, more than s0(
miles square; would you force all O.
the institutions OF learning into one
corner OF tho state? Is 1t not appar
ent that this would absolutely deprive
poor people in distant parts OF th'
state from the benefits Of sucl
schools?

WHAT WILL Ii COST2

One OF the pertinent questions in
connection with the Southern Oregon
State Normal School is What will II
cost?" A reference 10 the bill will
show Q provision for tax of 1-26 OF
a mill, or 4 cents on each $1,000 tax
able valuation. No citizen can afford
to deprive his children Of the oppor
tunity of Normal School trained teach
ers for the meagre sum OF cents
The tendency to vote against any
thing and everything that involves q
tax must be overruled and the ques
ton viewed In the light Of benefit de
rived-ae an investment.
