On Sunday morning at the Chris
tian church, at the close of the regu-
lar service, by a unanimous vote OF
the members present, a strong appeal
was made to Evangelist Van Winkle
to remain over one more Sunday with
the Dallas church, it being the opinion
of the church that his work in their
midst is not completed. Mr.. Van
Winkle has made many warm friends
during his brief stay in Dallas, both
in the church and on the outside.
Many have decided, under his urgent
appeal and strong teaching, to begin
the christian life, and many Others
have received new vision of service.
The church has been wonderfully
strengthened in every department, by
his earnest efforts in cooperation
with Pastor Curtis and his energetic
congregation. The great Bible school
has received strong and lasting i'm
petus. The evangelist has succeeded
in securing the cooperation of large
numbers of christian people, and this
is one of the secrets of his brilliant
success in this timely effort.
The pastor and evangelist, as well
as their wives, were students together
in the Bible university at Eugene and
this fact has, of course added much to
the joy and success of their efforts
together. On Sunday night they re-
ceived happy surprise in visit at
the evening service by President San
derson from that institution, also G.
S. o. Humbert, the field secretary
President Sanderson was given a few
minutes at the close of the service in
which to address the people and he
brought greetings from the school and
spoke briefly concerning the school
and its work.
Last Sunday there were present in
the classes 1856, and while this was
fifteen below their worthy aim for that
day, it was an increase of fifteen over
the attendance of the previous Sun
day, which was an encouraging ad-
vance toward the four hundred, which
is the determined aim for the i'm
mediate future. Though a strong and
well organized school was found by
the evangelist upon his arrival, much
credit is due him for the healthy in
crease and the present splendid en-
thusiasm of the school.
The crowds were large Sunday, as
they have been from the beginning,
but Sunday night the house was pack
ed and some were turned away Some

SLIGHT CHANCE FOR OIL
NOT OBTAINABLE IN COMMERC-
IAL QUANTITIES ON COAST.
Report of Geographical Survey Indi-
Gates Little Opportunity for
Petroleum Development.

The general similarity in the form
and position along the Pacific ocean
of the Coast ranges of Oregon to the
oil-bearing regions of California has
led many people to believe that oil
may occur in commercial quantity in
western Oregon. However, according
to the report Of a reconnaissance OF
that region by C. W. Washburne, a
geologist of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, the chance of getting oil
in commercial quantity here is very
slight indeed.
In some places in western Oregon
the rocks contain tiny globules of oil,
and in others they are cut by veins
of solid, brittle oil residue, but no
where is liquid oil known to seep out
at the surface. The solid residues in
dicate only that oil Was at one time
present in the rocks, but it does not
necessarily mean that oil occurs In
quantity in the rocks at the present
time. The absence Of oil seeps is the
most discouraging feature in this
field, for the rocks are so broken that
it seems highly improbable that much
oil could occur in them and still not
leak out at the surface and form
seeps. The possibility of obtaining
oil by drilling is regarded as slightly
favorable in a few places in Coos,
Douglas, Lincoln and Lane counties,
but even there the chances are not
good. Seeps of oil have been report
ed in practically every county in
western Oregon, but most Of the ma
terial described as oil proved on inves-
tigation to be only iron oxide, sub
stance which when present in water
in minute amounts forms an rides
cent scum that looks very much like
an oil film.
Infammable gas escapes from estu-
aries and swamps along the coast and
has been reported in one or two deep
wells. The gas found in the swamps
has no relation to petroleum but is
formed by the decay of vegetable
matter buried in the mud The
amount found at any one place is
never very great, and only enough for
very local use can be expected. The
gas is used at present in one or two
places to light farmhouses, at one
place enough being collected during
he day to run a burner for four
hours. The gas found in the deep
wells is more significant, for it comes
'ut of the solid rocks just as the gas
n the producing fields in other states

does. However, a careful study of all
the known occurrences of gas in west
ern Oregon shows that the chances of
getting commercial quantities of it
are no more favorable than they are
for oil. In Mr.. Washburne's IS report

are described, and the possibilities of
obtaining oil and gas in the different
counties carefully considered.

Rev. Geo. H. Bennett is fully sus--
tanning his reputation as a scholarly
and eloquent preacher. His sermons
are delivered without fear or favor,
and he always "hews to the line-let
the chips fall where they may" His
sermon Sunday morning on "Help-
ing Hand" was a fine portrayal of
the power of sympathy and beauty OF
gratitude, and the love which makes
saints of knaves and heroes of cow
ards. A man may be deacon, and
know the catechism, and receive the
sacraments, and make loud profess
sion of religion, but all this does not
count with God or man so much as a
life of practical sympathy and kind
ness. The sermon in the evening on
"Stop Thief" was logical and con-
.vincing discussion of divine truth as
a conqueror of evil in the world.
Truth exemplifed in medicine and
surgery, in the industries, in the lib
eral arts, in morals and conscience.
is a power which arrests evils that
prey upon human welfare. Truth
cries "Stop Thief" to the evils of
life.

Nine Hole Course $500 Yards Long
for Country Club = Perfect Nat
ural Hazards Interest
in Game Grows

The golf course Of the Sunnybrook
Golf and Country club is now a reality,
not on paper as per architects plans
Of building, but actually laid out on
the good old natural turf of the clubs
links. Yesterday afternoon AIessrs.
Frederickson and Nelson Of the Okla
homa City club were here and with L.
C. Hutson, Alger Melton. DR.. Homer
Bond, DR. L. f. Emanuel and E. +.
Colby, motored to the clubs grounds
south Of the city and laid out the
course.
1t is nine hole course, 25OO yards
in length The start is at the club
house, making a full swing around the
course and finishing near the club
house. According to the Oklahoma
City golfers. Chickasha has one of the
best natural courses in the state. The
natural hazards are all but perfect,
they state, the natural roll of the land
and the turf, all go to make it ideal
for the game
Two of the greatest hazards that
will have to be dealt with by the
golfers are, the lake, a tree and a
ditch. The lake is crossed two or
three times and at one point it is nee
essary to drive over the top Of a tree
across a ditch from one to the next.
Interest in the game has taken de-
cided boost and it is certain that with
in few days the shifting of the festive
golf ball will begin to come under the
natural course of events around the
Sunnybrook course. Eight sets of
clubs were ordered yesterday and with
the course now in shape for practice,
it is expected that by at least Sunday
regular workouts will be under way.
| Considering the size of the course, very
little work will be necessary to put
the entire tract in splendid shape. The
ground will be dragged with heavy
irons, breaking down the dead weeds
and grass which win then be raked
and burned, leaving only the grass to
come under the coaxing of warm sun
shine and showers.
Also, work has started on the en-
largement of the lake. Teams werg
