Felix A. PIastino win Lead Ida
no University Team in Ar
mistice Day Game.

When the football game between
the universities Of Idaho and Utah
line up for battle in Boise today
the two persons most interested of the
spectators in the grandstand will be
Mr.. and Mrs. Plastino Of Emmett
and if Idaho wins they will be the
proudest couple in all Idaho, for their
son Felix is captain of the Idaho team
and plays center. And they have q
right to be proud of this big, robust,
black-eyed young man, for he is son
to be proud Of. He has made good"
as q student, as q volunteer soldier
in Uncle Sans army, and as an ath-
lete, and all by his own efforts. But
above all, he is kind to his father and
mother and reveres them with all the
power Of his being. And 80 it is no
wonder that his mothers eyes lit up
and that her face shone with happi-
ness and pride when The Index man
. couple Of days ago sat down in their
humble cottage on the railroad right
Of way, near the stockyards, where
she and her husband live (he is boss
of the section gang) and asked for
history Of the boy who will lead the
varsity warriors in their battle. for
supremacy on the gridiron today.
Felix Plastino is an example Of
what a boy can make of himself by
being industrious, honest and willing
to forego some of the pleasures and
luxuries of life in order to secure an
education. He was born in Utah.
He attended the High School at Po-
catello and graduated at the head of
his class at the Technical Institute in
that city. Last year he graduated in.
the agricultural course at the Univer-
sity of Idaho, and is now taking = 4
post graduate course. His abilities
have been recognized by his appoint
ment on the University Agricultural
Extension staff When war was de- +
clared he was selected for the off
;ers' training camp at Camp Taylor,
Louisville, KY, and he made such a
rapid advancement that he was pro-
noted to lieutenant and retained as
instructor in that camp, though he

OIL INDICATIONS At
OLA PROMISING
Coal Being Taken Out at Fifty
Feet Impregnated With
OIL.

A good quality Of coal, in unlimited
quantity, has been found at depth
Of so feet by the company having q
lease on the William Saxton ranch
near Ola. The coal is hard, burns
readily. and does not slack as the out
groupings on the surface do. Sever
Al large blocks were taken TO Nanpa
few days ago by the company Of
fcials and turned over to Oregon
Short Line officers to be anelyze,l
and tested
This is the encouraging news brot
to town yesterday by L. S. Park,
rancher Of that section. Mr.. Park
stopped At the mine on his way down
and picked up = few samples Of the
coal, which are on exhibition in The
Index office. The samples, however,
were not taken from the lowest dig
gings and he says much better garde
was encountered at so feet. A shaft
about six feet square is being sunk.
Considerable water was encountered
at that depth and the company has
gone to Nampa to buy pumping ma
chinery. The company is satisfied
with the prospect so far and consider
the coal valuable to themselves in
that it will provide fuel for their en-
gines when drilling for oil is in pro-
gress, no matter if the coal proves to
be not sufficiently valuable for gen
eral commercial purposes.
The real value of the coal, in the
eyes Of the company is the fact that
it is strongly impregnated with oil
The samples at this office plainly
show that The company is entaus-
asticalIy optimistic over the outlook
Drilling for oil will be started be-
fore spring. The lease for the Sax
,on ranch binds the company to drill
|. wen to a depth of 5000 feet, if oil
IS not struck before that depth is
reached. A cash bond Of $4,000 has
,een deposited by the company for
he faithful performance of this pro-
1ision Of the contract within six
months.
The coal deposits there are extern
i've, cropping out of the ground At
'ack Knife and extending moth
westerly to the butte, and it is
'elieved the groupings on Crane creek
re continuation of the vein. On
he Potter and Matthews ranches this
anne formation is in evidence. On
be Potter ranch, however, the forma-
ion seems to be more of shale, rath-
r than coal, but is permeated with
n oily substance. Future develop
tents are awaited with eagerness by
OF only the people around Ola, but
lso of all of Gem county.
