Oil Shows in Water.

Last fall, Harry Swan, of Hoquam,
Washington, bought a five-acre tract
in H. G. Campbell's Garden Home
Farms, southwest of Dallas, and drill
led a well, which reached a depth of
113 feet before striking a good flow of
water. From the first, it was noticed
that the water carried traces of oil,
but it was thought to be from the new
pipe just put in. 1t has now been six
weeks since the pump was put in, and
the oil continues to show plainly
in the water, and, while there are only
small quantities of it present, it can be
readily distinguished in every glassful
of water drawn from the WELL A num-
ber of people have taken the pains to
go out and examine the peculiarities
of the well since they became known.
Among them was A. j. Yackley, an oil
expert who has 5000 acres of land und-
er an oil lease in the Holmes Gap sec
ton, and he has pronounced it the
best showing of oil he has seen in
Polk County.

have been informed of three such

in the valley trying to get this fish
hatchery they are working on the
quiet, because none of the newspapers
fact. The move made by the White

good one. 1t shows that the people

LOOK AT 1T in THIS LIGHT,

Advertising is talking. A bust
ness man connot very we'll stand at
the door of his place of business
and tell the passersby of the goods
he has for sale and their prices
Even if in a measure he could do
1t the result would not, for various
reasons, be very satisfactory. But
through the medium of his local pa
per he can reach the whole commu-
nifty in the most effective way under
the most favorable circumstances
Of all the varied forms of advertis-
ing experience has conclusivel
proved that there is none that
brings such good returns as gener-
Gus, attractive advertising in the
columns OF the Pilot. 1t is read in
the home and discussed by the
whole family, and the result to the
merchant is increased sales and en-
larging business.

want to see what businesses are rep
resented in the advertising columns
and what opportunities might be

A ten-million dollar melon was
cut and distributed last week by
the stockholders of Sears, Roebuck
Co., the Chicago mail order house.
Where did all this money come
from? Not from the city Of Chicago,
but from all the little towns scat
tered throughout the whole United
States. The people have spent their
money there. building up this large
institution and enriching a small
bunch of stockholders who don't
give six whoops in the hot place
whether your town prospers or not.
A merchant doing business in this
town has TO pay taxes here, he has
to pay a city license, every time
there is subscription passed
around he is compelled to put his
name down for reasonable
amount, or there will be lot of un
complimentary things said about
him. Whenever there is a dance or
sOciable he has to buy a ticket,
at least it is expected of him, and
if he doesn't he is a tight wad.
Whenever there are public improve
ments to be made he is supposed to
contribute literally Now then, how
much has Sears, Roebuck & Co. or
Montgomery, Ward & Co., or John
Smythe. contributed towards the up
building of your town? Did they
ever give you any credit when your
finances ran low? Could you ask
them to carry you 80, so, or some
times 90 days on their books? Not
much. But still people will persist
in patronizing these people whose
institution has grown to be a verit-
able trust, and then will holler be-
cause of the oppression these trusts
are bringing on. Spend your money
at home where you will see some re
