KEEP UP THE FIGHT.

Fifth Ward Correspondent in Clinton
Waterman:
| have read with interest the letter
of Mr.. Snowden, published in The
Waterman of the Goth inst, relative to
the boil weevil, and fully agree with
what he says, which is, in few words,
to kill the weevil, and continue to do
SO until the crop is made.
If our farmers were growing tobacco
and did not kill the worms which in.
fest the tobacco fields, they would fail
to make a crop, and I think we have a
cotton enemy-the weevil-which has
to be handled in some way. The to-
bacco growers handle this tobacco
worm by killing them and continuing
to do so. We have not done this in the
past, we have only put up a half-heart-
ed fight, with too many whats the
use" fellows looking on.
Now l think we have about reached
the place when we must either kill the
Weevil or get out of the game.
Mr.. Snowden says "pick up the
squares and burn them" That is all
right, but tell you, where you find
punctured square you will find the boil
weevil, not two feet from the square
kill him-and when cotton is picked
don't wait, but cut cotton stalks and
burn them just as soon as possible, at
night, for we all know that fire at
night will attract insect life.
There are lots of people in this par
ish who will never grow cotton again
there are many who will never plant
cotton again-and l hope for the good
of the state and parish that everyone
who is not ready and willing to fight
the weeVil to a finish will not plant a
seed and just let the scrappers have
chance
| think this year will prove that cot
ton can be grown when weevils come
early and in great numbers, but | do
not say that it can be done without
killing the weevil from start to finish,
and if this is done for three years we
would make just as much cotton per
acre as we did before the advent of the
weevil.
Personally, | am not discouraged by
the weeyiI, but am by the lack of CO.
operation on the part of our farmers
and by the whats the nse?n fellows.
who plant enough cotton to grow
enough weeyil to devour our crops each
year. We must get together or quit
trying to grow cotton.
Cotton is the best money crop we
can grow; it can be sold in any town
at any time and has always good
values. This is a cotton country and
every effort should be made to kill out
the little pest, which is bringing power
ty to our homes and distress to our
people.
This crop will be a revelation to
many. for it will, in my opinion, show
that fairly good crop of cotton can be
made by the hands who will kill the
weeVil.

A witness before the senatorial in.
vestigation committee says that if the
duty on sugar is removed it will not be
kept off more than two years. This
utterance is cryptic, but the Republi-
cans argue from it that they will be
back in power by 1918. We should
rather think that the present powers
that be will, if they find free sugar a
mistake, be honest enough to restore
the duty. The matter is so involved,
and so obscured by conflicting state
ments that it will take an actual test
to decide what is best to be done.

FAvORS SINGLE TERM
senate Proposes Constitutional Change
TO Six Years for Presidents.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA constitu
tional amendment which would restrict
the president of the United States to a
single term of six years and would bar
Woodrow Wilson. Theodore Roosevelt
and William H. Taft from again seek.
ing election has been approved by the
senate by the narrow majority Of one
vote, after tnree-d;.y fight, in which
the Progressives joined with many Re.
publicans in opposing the restricted
president term. Only one Democrat
voted against it.
The resolution proposed for the con.
stitutional amendment now goes to the
house for its approval. If ratified there
by two-thirds vote it will be submit.
ted to the legislatures of the states, and
will become effective when three
fourths of the 4S states of the Union
have approved it.
The language which it is proposed
to insert in the constitution in place OF
the first paragraph of article is as
follows:
THE executive power shall be vested
in president of the United States of
America. The term of the Office of
president shall be six years; and no
person who has held the Office by cleo
ton, or discharged its powers or du-
ties, or acted as president under the
constitution and laws made in pursu.
ance thereof shall be eligible to hold

LOCAL OIL PROSPECTS
Recent activity Recalls Earlier Opera
lions in Vicinity of TcninO.

The leasing of 1000 acres of land
mar Teniro recently by Seattle and
Tacoma capitalists who will drill for
oil and the more recent closing of oil
leases closer 10 Olympia, have awaken
ed more interest in Thurston countys
oil prospects that has been current for
many years. Consequently the follow
ing account of previous operations in
the local fields, given by one of the
older engineers and oil prospectors of
the state, is interesting:
THE existence of oil in the state of
Washington has been known for many
years by the old prospectors and tim
Der cruisers who have found the seep-
ages scattered from one end of the
state to the other.
"The work that | am most familiar
with is that done by c. christopher,
who drilled two wells in Thurston
/ county in 1901 and 1902. At depth of
| ,066 feet in the we'll called No. 1, the
tools were lost and after fishing for
them for about ten weeks the search
was given up and another well was
started called the No. 2, at about rs
feet to the south of the No. l we'll.
This second we'll was sunk to the
depth of 1,197 feet, the formation hav-
ing dip to the south of from 6 to 10
degrees. The drill passed through AZ
inches of paraffine. Oil first showed
at a depth of $50 feet. At 500 feet
depth 100 feet of oil sand and gas and
salt sand were struck. Oil in paying
quantities might have been secured at
the point had the salt water been &C.
mented from the oil.
This second we'll was abandoned af-
ter it's limit had been reached. The
we'll was stopped after being II feet in
the limestone, and am of the opinion
that had the limestone cap been pene-
trated Christopher would have got
big flow of paraffine oil.
Tenino, Ed Seller, E. NJ, drilled three
holes with a diamond drill and each
hole found oil Of paraffine base. In
the last and deepest hole two oil sands
were found, one of four feet and the
other of five feet, the first at a depth
of 400 feet and the second at 900 feet.
about 80 miles east and south of
Tenino is another good oil field in
Lewis county. This oil is of parafine
base. Just six miles south of this Is
another showing of oil, and again nine
miles north there are other good show
ings. l have seen the Cowlitz river
near Messy Rock covered with oil for
a distance of 800 yards and more than
80 yards wide.
There are several seepages near To-
ledo, further to the south, the forma-
ton dipping degrees to IL degrees to
the west.
"All the seepages in Washington are
of parafine base and will command
$3.50 to 81 q barrel as against the 80
to 40 cents q barrel for the asphalt oil
Of the California fields.
"The general formation Of these
Washington oil fields is shale, sand.
stone and lime. There are fossils Of
every description and age found In
these fields and all that is necessary to
make the state of Washington the equal
In quantity and superior in quality to

sary to bring in the OIL"

AMERICANS HEEDTNG
ADVICE OF PRESIDENT
TO FLEE FROM MEXICO
Estimated That About 10000 Have Left Turbulant Republic
Appropriation to Aid Refugees Will Be Needed at
Once According to Reports

Washington. August 2S-Americans in
Mexico are needing President Wilson $
warning to get out and state department
officials believe that two weeks hence
there will be scarcely a thousand of them
left In the troubled southern republic. AL
though many had refused to consider
leaving before the word came of the Pres
ident' urgent advice, hundreds have been
starting for home or abroad daily dur
ing the last three weeks, and it is esti-
mated that nearly 10000 or about as many
as still remain in Mexico, have gotten
away.
OF those now preparing to leave, 1000 will
need help from the government. so the
100000 appropriation asked for by Seere-
tary Bryan some time ago to aid refugees
will be needed Immediately. OF the 1000,
about 1900 will come out by the east coast
ports and the northern border; the other
1900 through west coast ports.
Furnish Special Rates
Since last February the state depart
ment has aided. 1t was said today between
1900 and 5000 refugees, furnishing many
transportation In some instances, in
others securing special rates or reductions
which the individuals themselves could
not get.
