LOSES DIAMOND RING.

Hrs. ]. C. Wicks, living on Route
Two. had the misfortune to loose her
diamond ring while at the Evergreen
Service Station last Monday evening.
She had driven to the station for
gas and while working with the car
got some dirt on her hands. She
had previously removed the ring,
and was holding it between her
thumb and finger while under the
hydran to wash off the dirt, and
the force of the water knocked it
out of her hand. Strange as it may
seem it has not been seen since
not withstanding diligent search has
been made. The ring was valued
quite highly as it was Mrs. Wick's
engagement ring.

NEW PALMER ARRIVES

The Western Idaho Lumber and
Building Co., have received a new
palmer which has been in transit
for several months. Those who
are familiar with up-to-date saw
mill and planning mill equipment,
say it is absolutely the finest piece
Of machinery of the kind they have
ever seen. Its shipping weight was
$4,000 pounds. 1t is the new Stet-
son palmer, size 6 by 20 with a
capacity of 40 feet per minute. It
is now unloaded at the mill sight
and will be installed within a short
received two extra large Garford
logging trucks with trailers, each
truck and trailer have a capacity of
one-half of a car load each. These
trucks are now stored at Fruitland
where a suitable store house could
be secured. The Company has been
detained considerably due to ina
bility in securing equipment. Mr..
Wilson. the manager, says no opera
tion will commence until all the
equipment is ready and every detain
in condition. That when they do
start they are going to start right.

BIG COAL VEIN
DISCOVERED ATOLA
Thirty-fOOt Body Found on Saxon
Ranch-Extent of Deposit Not
Determined.

The Ola country is all exc nent
over the discovery of what is be-
lieyed to be immense coal deposits
The deposits were accidently found
in the bed of Squaw creek on the
William Saxon ranch, a few miles
southwest of Ola.
Just how extensive the field is
has not yet been determined. Only
a small portion of the outcroppings
have been opened up, but so far the
vein is 80 feet wide and % feet long.
How deep the coal goes beneath the
ground is not known.
The discovery was made by a son
of Mr.. Saxon. Squaw creek is prac-
tically dry at this time, and the boy
was playing in the bed of the creek
when his attention was attracted by
the black substance He carried a
chunk of it to his afther, who at
once investigated. Large pieces
wre dug out and some of it tested in
the stove. 1t burned readily with a
hot blaze and was reduced to clean
ashes. The coal is now being used
to fire threshing machine engines
and those using it speaking highly
of it as a fuel
The coal crops out of the ground. /!
Mr.. Saxon has dug down six feet
on the vein, but has not reached the
bottom Grant Vaughn, whose .
ranch is near that of Mr.. Saxon's, .
was in town Tuesday and corrobOr- /
ates the above statements. He is
confident the field is extensive both .
in extent and depth and that it will .
prove of great Importance.
Mr.. Vaughn also thinks there is
oil in that section too. The Index
sometime ago told of the shale de-
Dosits, rich in oil content, there.
Mr.. Vaughn says there is a hill 200
feet high and about 100 feet long
IN the Potter place that is composed
Of sand, and that the sand is con-
.inually moist with an oily sub
stance. so moist, in fact that the
sand can be moulded into balls. The
IDAHO Oil Company should lose no
.ime in investigator this field.

this part of the state to start a

that since we got busy along those

they all want to know what is going

indications for both oil and ags; and
the best geological outcropings; and
every scientific man we have had in
this district during the last nine
months has gwen a very favorable
report about this particular dis
trict; so it is not surprising that
letters are rolling in from outside

and possibilities. We have organ
hed a good strong conservative com

men. and have a contract whereby
those who invest to help make Pay
