COSMOP0LIS IN
PAVING MIDDLE
Property Owners Resent Ac.
ton of Council in Order
ing Streets Paved

COSMOPOLIS, July 9.-This towr
is pretty we'll wrought up over the
street paving situation and is facing
a series OF law suits in consequence
The dispute grew out Of an attempt
of the town council to pave certain
streets which. the property owners
allege, would amount to virtual con
'fiscation of their holdings.
The owners allege that the council
broke faith in acting in this matter
as, they say, that body had agreed
to call for no more street improve
ments this year unless the same was
asked for by petition, and recall
was started. While this was pend
ing, the superior court enjoined the
mayor and council from proceeding
with the work.
If the matter had been permitted
to rest at this juncture, the dove Of
peace would now be lowering over
Cosmopolis instead of Mars being en-
gagged in whetting up his sword fol
war. But, the authorities were not
satisfied with the decision of the su
perior court and have taken an ap
peal to the supreme court. This is
what hurts the opponents of the
measure. They hold that it is rank
injustice to make them pay for fight
ing both sides of the case, as they
will have to do. First as taxpayers
they must foot the towns legal bills
incurred in the appeal, and next their
own expenses in contesting the ap
peal.
Some of the owners interested are
not choice in their language when
they denounce the action of the coun
Gil, and covert hints are thrown out
to the effect that the city dads are
more anxious to serve the interests
of paving companies than those OF
their constituents. Be this as it may
this town is in quite a stew over the
matter.

NEARLY READY
FOR DRILLING
Last Of New Equipment for
New Well for jefferson Oil
Company Goes to Hob.
BEGIN DRILLING SOON
California Company Lease.
Oil Lands on Hob, and Will
Sink Well at Once.

The contract made with the Boggs
Oil Well Co., by the Jefferson Oil
Co. is attracting attention in other
oil centers This is shown by the
presence on the Harbor Of Henry
Craswell, of Seattle, former resi-
dent of Hoquiam. who has leased a
section of land owned by him to a
California oil company. This land
lies near the Hob district, in JET
ferson county.
Two expert biologists located in
Seattle, were on the ground in May
making tests and investigation of
surrounding territory. The company
which employed them, secured an 49,
months lease from Mr.. Craswell, with
the provision that an oil we'll would
he sunk in that time. 1t is stated
machinery and an outfit will be on
the ground in short time The
lease provides an outfit must be on
The ground inside of six months. The
COluPouy CAPCIlo CAPCCI d WCll "
cost them $25,OOO.
jefferson Machinery Moved
The final shipment of equipment
required for sinking the new we'll on
the property of the Jefferson Oil Co.
was shipped to the Hob river Tues
day, where o. P. Boggs and his son
have practically completed the NOV.
ing of the apparatus from the old
we'll to the sit where the new drill
ing will begin. Actual drilling work
on the new site is expected to begin
sometime next week. Hereafter a
crew Of eight men will handle the
work. The drilling will be rushed
forward as fast as possible and with
in 80 days it will be definitely known
whether oil exists in the Hob coun-
try in paying quantities or not. The
younger Bogg's contract calls for the
drilling of the new we'll to a depth
of 1000 feet.
The Indian Well
Manager Paulhamus of the Indian
Oil Co. is giving out absolutely no
information concerning his we'll, nor
Is its present depth known, and the
general belief is that the first gush-
er in the Grays Harbor country will
be at Gas Mound, and that before
very long. A crew of six men is now
working at the we'll, the night crew
having been laid off.
