OIL SHOWS STRONG
IN CRESCENT WELL
DRILL DOWN 1,46O FEET, ENTERS
THlRH STRATA--SHOW-
INGS BEST YET.

Unusually good oil showings, ap-
pearing in the Crescent Oil company's
we'll last Friday and becoming more
pronounced as the work of under
roaming the hole to put the siX-inch
casing down to the bottom of the we'll
was undertaken this week, convince
the promoters of that enterprise that
only few more blows of the big drill
will bring in the first oil we'll in
Southwest Washington.
Emery c. Williamson, secretary.
treasurer of the company, has been
urging everybody he sees to go to the
we'll and look at the showings for
themselves. He is very enthusiastic
himself over the outlook and. while
he does not anticipate that the COM
pany will bring in gusher, he is
confident that large commercial
we'll will be produced.
Drilling was stopped last Friday
when oil in larger quantities than at
any time since work was started be-
gan to show in the bailings and the
latter also brought up sands mixed
in with the blue sh'ale through which
the drill had been passing. The well
Is down 1,460 feet and the sand is
the third strata which, it has been
believed, would be the producer" if
oil were to be found in commercial
quantities.
Believing the drill was just enter
ing this sand, the company stopped
work in order to put it's casing down
to the bottom of the we'll, to shut off
the salt water encountered at the
1,300-foot level. Drilling will be
started again as soon as this is COM
pleted and it is expected that only
little further work will be neces-
sary to determine the value Of these
sands.

FAVoRs STATE MEETING
Governor Believes Party Convention
Would Help Democrats.

Governor Ernest Lister. the nomi-
nal head of the Democratic party in
this state, is not opposed to the hold
ing of a state convention. On the
contrary, he feels that such conven-
tion might be helpful and the gov
ernor's attitude will probably cause
a convention to be called by State
Chairman Hugh G. Todd or by the
central committee.
1t is believed by leading Democrats
that convention at which members
of the party from all parts of the
state could get together would do
much to cement the party. A plat
form on which congressional and leg
islative candidates could stand could
be drawn and the many issues dis
cussed, it is said.
Should such a convention be held,
it is almost certain that an effort will
be made to eliminate some OF the
candidates for the United States sem
ate in the party. Those who are not
seeking Office, but are anxious that a
Democratic senator be selected to
succeed Wesley l.. Jones, believing
that this cannot be accomplished If
there are too many active candidates
for the nomination. Any move along
this line would start the fireworks at
the convention, it is believed, as the
supporters of each of the present can
didates believe their man to be the
logical candidate.
Local gossip has it that strong
pressure will be brought to bear on
Judge Stephen ]. Chadwick of the su-
preme court to perusade him to enter
the race on the Democratic ticket.
Judge Chadwick's term expires in
January and he is a candidate for re-
election to the bench. Leaders be-
lieve that If he is assured of undivld-
ed support, as it is believed he would
be If he came out for the position, he
will reconsider the matter. The Judge
is widely known and very popular
throughout the state. Six years ago
when he was elected to the bench, he
led the field.
At the proposed convention senti-
ment in his favor could be sounded
out and the leaders could determine
whether or not his candidacy would
meet with the approval of the sup
porters of the other candidates.

FINE S0|L...CHEAP PRICE
Prompt Rancher to Locate in Thurs
ton County.

Excellent soil and a very reason
able price which enabled him to buy
for $40 an acre here land that would
have cost him he says at least $500
an acre in the northwestern part of
the state, were the two reasons
which prompted George Bump, an
Island county fruit-grower for "a
years, to buy and locate on the So
acre Martin place at South Bay dur
ing the last week, after having trav-
eled all over western and southwest
ern Washington and the Willamette
valley of Oregon, looking for loca-
ton.
So we'll pleased is Mr.. Bump with
the quality of the soil in this county
and the price of farm property that
he expects to bring into the county
five or six families who have been
waiting for him to find suitable
location. Two of these families live
in Nebraska while three others are
now residing in the northwestern
part of the state.
The soil here is far better than in
Island county. Mr.. Bump says, and
better than the kind that is selling
for from 5000 to $500 an acre in the
district around Seattle and Everett.

SAYS FARMERS NEEO
BUSINESS METHODS
j. j. HIGGINS DISCUSSES VARIOUS
RURAL QUESTIONS IN
ABLE ADDRESS,.

II believe as a business problem
that farmers should know as much
about the expense of conducting theil
business as does a merchant, manu-
facturer or any other class of busi.
ness men. Let farmers keep an &C.
curate set of books as do business
men. This knowledge would enable
them to weed out Improbable items
that cost more to produce than they
can realize in returns. This would
place farming on the same level with
all properly conducted business en-
terprises and arouse an interest and
develop a system of intelligent farm
management which would 60 far to-
ward making the calling attractive
to the youth of the land"
This paragraph epitomizes the
principal thought expressed in an in
teresting address delivered recently
by ]. J. Higgins, assistant commits
sioner of the state department of ag-
riculture, at the "house-warming
day" celebration of the Pc Ell Can
ming association. In the concluding
paragraph the same idea is convey
ed:
Make Farm Life Alluring.
"Let US all determine to avail our
selves of all the latest practical ideas
and decide to free ourselves of the
slavery of farming as our fathers
farmed, to raise all the improved
stock we can, plant fruit trees and
berries and give proper attention to
the garden. Use paint and white
wash frequently. Make the home so
attractive that our children will not
seek positions in the cities and prac-
tically enslave themselves. Teach
them that farming is one of the most
honorable of professions when prop
erly handled, independent of all 9TH
ers. Teach them to cultivate taste
for the esthetic side of life and you
will have contributed your share to-
ward making farm life so alluring
that your children will not exchange
it for the nerve-wrecking and often
false and demoralizing life of the
cities"
During his talk Mr.. Higgins told of
the work of the new state department
of agriculture, beginning with the
statement I'm the interest of eco
nomy and efficiency and at the in
stance of our farsighted governor,

 The acquisition of the monkey al- lays somewhat the sorrow that was felt earlier in the week at the death of the gallant old buck, the leader of the herd of ten deer that are now within the enclosure. Acute indiges- ton was the cause of his taking off after about a weeks sickness, during which veterinary skill could do noth- ing. The buck was the first of the deer who were received at the park about a year and a half ago.
