FOREMAN IS NOW A MECCA
 FOR MANY OIL SCOUTS
Hundreds of Visitors at We'll Saturday and Sunday; Oh Scouts, Lease
 Hounds are in Evidence.
Leases Are Bringing Good
 Prices But Few Will Sell

A News representative visited Fore- going out to the well where oil was found a few days ago, in company with one of the owners, John Pullen, along with A. E. Waters and Ben Shaver, both of this city. MT. Pullen, J. E. Walker and Worth Matteson are the three men who had the courage of their faith to sink test we'll on their 2000 acres of holdings. If they bring in a new oil field as they confidently believe they will do, it will be another of the miracles that have happened again and again in oil history when new fields have been brought in. When the story of this development is writ ten it will not be the story of giant corporation with unlimited money that uncovered one Of natures vast store house fo wealth, but quite the reverse. MT. Pullen is farmer and real estate dealer; NIr Matteson is farmer; MT. Walker is a driller of water wells. Last year while sinking we'll at this place a showing of oil was uncovered. These three men were determined to give it further test and for the past few months have been enlarging the hole. MT. Walker had big water well rig with a gas engine. They erected a derrick and went at it. They have financed the drilling themselves, and a great deal of the time Msssrs Walker, Pullen and Matteson have been the crew, drillers, roughnecks, and the whole works. They had faith and courage.
 Nothing Under Cover.
 Before going to the we'll, MT. Pullen said that he had tied his animal up in the lot and had nothing to keep under cover. On reaching the well he lifted the covers from the slush pits and there before us lay the shining golden fluid that made John D. famous. w. B.

It was stated that hundreds of visitors Saturday carried away anything from pint to five gallon can of the oil, which be- fore now is being searched by the eagle-eyed experts in the big oil cen ters, Tulsa and Shreveport. Geologists from various Oil companies had been on the ground and scouts are now securing tho country for leases. There is big holding company at Foreman which holds many thousands of leases in, block. The best that could be learned in regard to them was that they were sitting tight, refusing to lease, and when this first test is con- pleted will consider making drilling contracts and rapidly developing the field

Duck Found $500
Miles From Home

Dallas, Ore, Dec. 30 Peter p.
| Jensen, of Camrose, Alta, recently
shot a pintail duck whose leg was
encircled by a metal band on
which was engraved: Released by
the American Museum at New
York. Will finder please notify u.s."
The distance between New York
and Camrose is $500 miles.
Jansen owns farm in the new
ly settled area along the Canadian
National railways which is a nest
ing ground for wild geese and
many varieties of ducks. These
fowl had already begun their NIL
grafton southwark when the pin
tail was killed. How far this par
ticular duck had been north is not
known. The summer habitat of
the pintail extends as far as the
Arctic ocean.
But the direction of this ducks
flight from New York. it is pointed
out, is scientifically interesting. In
their spring migrations, aquatic
fowl, it has been thought, fly
straight north. If the pintail had
lived up to this tradition it would
have gone from New York into the
highlands of Ontario or Labrador.
The fact that it winged its way
westward half across the CONT
nent, has upset existing theories
and may lead to new discoveries
regarding the migratory habits of
wild fowl.

Charlotte, herself, solved the
problem which long had perplexed
supt. David Wooster Taylor. The
new companion to Nine. Charlotte
is one of the brown squirrels that
inhabit the park.
The squirrel, of an inquiring
turn of mind, entered Charlotte's
cage through a hole in the wire
netting. Charlotte prevented exit
by twisting the wire into place.
The squirrel seems contented, as
food is abundant and on cool
nights they snuggle together
Previously Charlotte's loneliness
had caused Supt. Taylor no end Of
worry. He placed honey bear in
the monkey cage, but Charlotte
kept the bear awake by pulling his
ears and he had to be removed.
A puppy placed in the cage
proved too interesting plaything
for Charlotte, and he was removed
much the worse for wear. A bird
a worse fate.
Then Supt. Taylor threw up his
hands in dismay. Another long
period OF loneliness for Charlotte
until she solved the problem of a
herself. Now all is
well.

.Ul1ich Chosen Recall
Candidate for office
OfPoIk County Judge

Dallas, Or, Dec. 20.--Anothei
Aatep was made by those Polk coun
ey residents VINO are dissatisfied
with the county courts achieve
lnents In obtaining good roads
when J. H. Ulrich of Airlie, was
unanimously chosen as recall can
@1idate to oppose Judge A. b. Rob
xmson for the office of county
Judge at meeting Of delegates
from Al county precincts which
was held here Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Ulrich said: II did not seek
khe nomination, and l accept it re-
Kuctantly. But because the county
court has come to deadlock with
the highway commission, and in or
sa1er that the roads in our county
may be made passable, and in or
der that the people may work to-
gether harmoniously, it is neces-
Hary to have a change. With this
In mind / accept with the sole IN
tention of being of service to the
people of this county. / trust no
mud-slinging will be done during
Ehe camapign, and should l be
elected / promise a square deal to
everybody"
Judge Robinson, who appeared
near the close Of the meeting, was
introduced by G. o. Holman as
-'man who has the backbone to do
what he thinks is right" Judge
Robinson said in part:
''It is rather a surprise to be
called upon to speak at this meet
ing. Concerning roads, l can say
That / have given as much money
TO the Improvement of roads as the
financial condition of the county
would permit, and that have dis
nributed it equally and according to
tine needs of the majority of the |
people" He offered a comparison |
of the road conditions of Yamhin |
and Polk counties and declared |
that if conditions were looked at |
Fairly there could be no chance for |
criticism. Attorneys Oscar HayterJ
and Joe Sibley spoke in behalf of |
fudge Robinson.
That the sentiment of the peo-
nile is not against Judge Robinson |
sas a man, was the declaration of |
sS. A. Peterson, of the Suver coun-
Ery Judge Robinson has char
szcter, honor and integrity" Peter
son said, "but the taxpayers want
road improvements and believe
hnat they will be benefited by a
