The offer of Mrs. Jean B. Stewart
to give the city a perpetual lease of
40 acres of land near the waterworks
conditioned on the city expending ST.
600 a year in improvements for the
first ten years, was declined, the
council returning to Mrs. Stewart a
vote of thanks for the offer. The OBJ
jections to the offer were based, first
upon the unwisdom of assuming the
$1,000 year obligation at this time,
in view of the financial condition of
the city; that the city was fairly we'll
supplied with a park of IS acres, ly-
ing between Aberdeen and Hoquiam
which not only costs nothing to main
tain, but pays taxes; that the title re.
naming in the Stewards, the city would
have to assume the taxes and that it
would be unwise at this period of the
city's development to accept anything
short of absolute title. SO that, in the
event that the site at any future time
became unsuitable for park purposes
the city could sell it to purchase else.

OIL PROSPECTS
BRIGHT ON Hob
Superintendent Wool ard
Brings Satisfying News
From Hob Oil Field
WELL NOW 500 FEET DEEP
Well of Jefferson Oil Com
pany was Down 460 Feet
When He Left Monday

The Hob oil we'll was 400 feet deep
last Monday noon.
The Forks we'll had reached depth
of 1400 feet last Friday morning.
Drilling has not yet started at the
Taholah gas mound, though J. H.
Paulhamus has everything ready to
start and will begin work as soon as
he can secure an ADEQUATE supply of
water.
Light flows of gas, steady rather
than in pockets, in both the Hob and
Forks wells, have been found. The
flow, however, is not in commercial
quantities or sufficient to. be collect
ed with any degree of success.
Such is the report brought We'd
nesday by George E. Woodard, super
intendent for the Jefferson Oil com.
pany, who came down overland from
the Hob. 1t is the first authentic in.
formation from the oil fields for near
ly two weeks.
Good steady progress is being made
by his crew of drillers at the Hob,
Mr.. Woodard reports. He is we'll sat
isfied with the progress already made
The drill is still working in what is
known as the Hob formation, u
brown, unstable shale, which is in.
clined to cave easily. When Mr..
Woodard left the we'll Monday the
crew was preparing to start the TO-
inch drill and casing. They had just
finished sinking as far as the 15h.
inch casing could be carried. The
expectation is to carry the 10 inch
hole down 1000 feet further If no
difficulties are eneouptered, and then
the hole will be reduced to 8.inch,
to be carried down the remaining dis
tance.
While the caving has not caused
real trouble at the Hob, it delays
work, Mr.. Woodard states. Some days
the drill will be sent down 20 or 30
feet, while on others no progress will
be made on account Of the necessity
of clearing out cave-in.
At the Forks we'll a similar condi-
tion has been encountered, but more
difficulty has been experienced. The
drillers say they have no idea wheth-
er they will be able to go to 1000
feet. or whether they will have to
stop at any time, Mr.. Woodard states.
He made trip of investigation to the
Forks field the last Of last week,
spending part of Thursday afternoon
and part of Friday forenoon there.
The Forks crew is now using an g.
inch drill.
I'VE have a light flow of gas, and
they have the same thing at the
Forks" said Mr.. Woodard, but it Is
not in commercial quantities. would
say 1t is a steady flow as it seems
the ground is saturated with it. We
had 1t after we had gone down a
short distance and before we cased.
and now with the casing down we still
have it. The same condition, as far
a. I could see, exists at theForke.
Neither they nor we have struck any.

THE CHAUTAUQUA IDEA.
1t Is the Dominating Influence of the
DaV

In the year 1874 Mr.. Lewis Miller
and Bishop John H. Vincent conceived
the idea of holding an annual sum-
mer meeting where the great speak
ers and musicians of the country
could meet great gathering of peo-
pie who were out for their vacation.
The place they selected was Chautau-
qua Lake, New York, and the plan
proved more than a success.
The name of this first meeting place
somehow attached itself to the great
movement, and today the majority of
US look at the great posters and signs
which announce our Chautauqua,
without any idea about how we hap
pen to call it by that name. That
first Chautauqua was almost forty
years ago, but the movement is still
constantly gaining ground, until to-
day a town or city is considered nom
progressive if it fails to hold Chau-
tauqua assembly.

Prof. Spencer's lecture, Shake
speare's Message to the Twentieth
Century" should be heard by all. 1t
will be revelation to many of US
of the needs of our day, and the
remedies which can be used. Another
lecture of infinite entertaining pos
sibilities is the "Wit, Humor, and
Shakespeare" with which Prof. Spen-
Ger makes a great hit.
We should bear in mind that these
lectures are not just so many lessons
in Shakespeare-they are more cor
rectly termed interpretations of the
great poet, adapted to entertain the
modern audience, as the original plays
entertained the throngs in London
during the life of the great writer.
Let us fill the tent to hear Spencer.
He is to appear the fourth day OF

FINAL ADJOURNMENT is NEAR

Trainers of the Waterpower Bill Feel
That 1t Will Result in Immediate
Complete and Advantageous DeveI-

sin-Provisions of the New Measure.
Madison, Wis, July 8-The new
waterpower bill has been introduced
in the senate. This and the bill ap-
propriating a large sum of money for
the administration Of state govern
ment are the only measures of i'm
portance which stand in the way of
final adjournment.
The waterpower bill, representing
the best thought of experts on conser-
walton in this country, is considered of
immense Importance. It involves a
large question of public policy, and the
bill has been so drafted that the mem.
bers of the senate committee on con-

VIII Develop Waterpowers.

Trainers of the bill feel that it will
result in the immediate complete and
mutually advantageous development
OF waterpOWers in Wisconsin. Under
the provisions of the measure appli-
cants will no longer be required to
go to the legislature for their fran
chise, but may secure them upon ap-
plication to the state railroad COM
mission, to which power the legisla-
ture delegates the power to grant
franchises. This is considered a con-
venient method of doing business, and
eliminates the delay incident to MAX
ing an application to a legislature
which meets but once every two years.
Men who studied the subject and
drafted the bill say that the measure
amply guards the states rights.
The claim has been made by author
tiles on waterpoWer development that
Waterpower developers may be di-
ylded into two classes: First, the
speculative group, and secondly, those
who desire to develop waterpowers for
legitimate purposes. 1t is claimed
that the bill contains no provisions
which will retart waterpower develop
ment, although the interests of the
people will at all times be guarded
against the Speculation.
