 BY TERRITORY
On a Bounty of S15 For Each Wolf, Territory Has Paid Out Sum of $990

Since the appropriation for the pur pose was made by the Legislature on the first of April last, bonuties have been paid on 66 wolf belts at the office of the Territorial Treasur- er The amount of money expended for this purpose has been $990 as a bounty of $15 is paid on each wolf
 Since April 1, 1900 sets of eagles feet have been turned in and the bounty of 50 cents each paid on each set, making total of $500 paid for this purpose.
 Most of the wolves on which bounty was paid were killed in the First division although some have come from the Interior in the vicinity of Panama Crossing and sections near there.

Government To Survey
Polk County For Oil
fCanital Journal Special Service. !

iAhftt - tAA AnA 49, f-eNff
Dallas, Or, June Elm reply to a
letter from Senator MeNary ASKING for
data on oil prospecting attempted in
Polk county during recent years and
upon the receipt of the same informa-
ton Senator McNary again writos the
Dallas Commercial club that the bureau
Of geology will send to this county
sometime in the near future a repre-
sentative TO make further surveys Of
soil, in various localities to asc,ftain
whether there is oil in paying quanii-
ties in Polk county. The bureau Of
geology had "a man in this vicinity last
wear but were not satisfied with the
reports made by him and win this time
make a more complete survey.
That oil and gas exists in paying
quantities bcnenesth the surface Of the
ground in this section has been the opin
ion Of local parties for some time and
several years ago wells were diillod to
depth of about 1000 feet in an at.
tempt to tap a vein but without finan-
eial success. Gas is known to exist in
some sections and in the Riekreall
neighborhood. cass Riggs, a prominent
farmer, uses gas from a well, bored 20
water stock, for lighting aud aeating
purposes.
