LOCAL LAND Office
TO GO TO SEATTLE
PRESIDENT ORDERS CONSOLIDA-
TION OF TWO DISTRICTS
JANUARY /.

Because only 1900 acres of va
cant public land, including upper
fected entries, remain in the Olympia
land Office district, President Wilson
signed an executive order Monday
consolidating this district with the
Seattle district.
On January l the Olympia Office
will close and the records will be
taken to Seattle. There were but Sc
entries at the Olympia Office during
the last fiscal year, and the cost of
maintaining the Office was II per
cent of the receipts.
| The Seattle Office does much larg-
er business at relatively lower cost
and it's district contains 1853, 900 acres
of unused land. Closing of the Van
couver Office also was contemplated,
but this has been dropped.
Fred w. Stocking has been regis
ter of the local land Office for the last
~ years, having been appointed in
1902 by President Roosevelt. Robert
w. Elwell, receiver, was appointed

State Board of Control Shows Reduc'
ton From Last Appropriation.

The state board of control has an
nounced its budget for the IL state
institutions and other requirements
for the coming biennium, showing a
total of $3,9S9,199 requested from

tually appropriated by the last legis-
lature.
In its budget for the IL state in
situations the board bases its main
tenance estimates on a population of

SAYS FIELD WILL Be
LARGEST IN WORLD
EXPERT FERRIS MAKES STRONG
PREDICTIONS CONCERNING
LOCAL DISTRICT.

A prediction that the Washington
oil field will become one of the great
est if not the greatest in the world,
is made by William H. Ferris, an oil
expert and geologist afte rehe had re-
turned from more than weeks sur
vey of the Olympia-Tenino district.
Mr.. Ferris, who was employed by
one of the companies to make re-
port on their properties, has now
been retained by several others to re-
port on work being done and to ad-
wise as to drilling sites. The regard
in which his opinions of oil fields are
held is shown by the work he has
been called on to DO, including such
important missions as acting as spe-
cial oil adviser to the Russian gov
eminent for two years.
One of Greatest IN World.
Mr.. Ferris freely expressed his be-
lief that Washington would develop
one of the greatest fields in the
world.
Il have been tramping for week
over the country around Tenino and
Little Rock, and the country nearby"
he said, land not only do l find indi-
cations of a big oil field, but find
all the Indications.
"The lay of the land, the contours,
are perfect, the anticlines are perfect,
and the surface indications are all
that could be desired.
Everything on top of the ground
indicates oil, and plenty of it. Now a
we'll has been put down, and it has
been proven beyond any doubt that
there is oil.
"And I want to venture this pro-
phecy-and II it doesn't come true
will consider that all my years in the
oil business have been worthless
that is, that this Washington field
will be one of the greatest, If not the
greatest, the world has ever known"
Compares With California Oil.
but that California oil isn't worth
much" objected some one who was
standing near.
Mr.. Ferris pointed to a bottle of
the Washington oil standing on the
table.
II want you to understand" he
said, that this Washington oil, two
gallons of it, is worth as much as a
whole barrel of California oil.
II have telegraphed and cabled to
friends and former associates, now
located in different parts of the world
after I had seen the oil from the
Crescent we'll, that regarded West
ern Washington one of the greatest
oil fields in the world" he continued.
ION my 80 years experience in the
field as practical oil man and geol-
ogist, do not hesitate to say that ii
will prove to be SO when it has been
developed. expect it to prove q

BUYS 1o7 new CARS
Union Pacific Prepares For EXPOSE
ton Travel Next Year.

To be prepared to take care of its
share of the anticipated heavy travel
through the Northwest during the
coming exposition year, the Union
Pacific system, of which the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
company is part, has recently pur-
chased from the Pullman company
107 solid steel cars.
Delivery of this equipment is now
being made. 1t consists of 80 bag
gage cars, 4 baggage-mail cars, FL
dining cars, s observation cars, 2
parlor cars, 10 coaches and 80 chair
cars. Their value is approximately
$1,500,000 and they constitute one
of the largest orders placed by any
railroad in recent years. Their pur-
chase is evidence of the Union Paci-
fic's great confidence in the Pacific
Coast. A large portion Of these cars
will be used on the O.-W. R. & N.
company's lines in the Northwest.
These cars are of solid steel, as
distinguished from those having
wooden framework with steel shell.
Though they cost more, the Union
Pacific believes their cost to be money
we'll spent and in keeping with it's
efforts for safety First" They sup
plement the roads fine system of au
tomato electric block safety signals
with which it's lines are protected all
the way to Chicago.
The Union Pacific system is a pio-
neer in the use of steel cars and for
years has not purchased any other
kind. The cars are equipped with
every modern appliance for the con-
venience and comfort of passengers.
The passenger cars have concrete
floors and bubbling drinking foun-
tains. They are so constructed that
climatic conditions will have no eff
feet on them.
The Union Pacific is exerting every
effort to induce Eastern visitors to
the California fairs to pay visit to
the Pacific Northwest.
