WAITS ON PUMPING PLANT.


Drillers in the Eastern Oregon well
in the Vale oil fields have ceased oper-
ations, as they are convinced that they
have flow of oil In commercial guam
titles. One great difficulty in this, az
in all other wells In the Vale district,
is to control the flow Of water. The
well has been cssed, and as soon as the
requisite pumping outfit can be in
stalled, IL Is TO be emptied of water,
that the drillers may be able to deter
mine the flow Of oil.
T. w. Davidson, Of Vale, one Of the
heaviest owners in the Eastern Oregon
company, has purchased a pumping
plant which will be used in drawing
off the water from the well.
"On account of the fine flow Of oil in
the Eastern Oregon, we have decied TO
go no deeper for the present." said
Mr.. Davidson, "but will install q
pumping plant anud draw of the wa
ter. Then we can measure the exact
flow Of oil in the well. That we have
oil In number Of the Vale wells there
Is no doubt, and every indication points
to commercial flow in several Of the
deeper wells In that district"
