BURGLARS BREAK
INTO THE OAKLEY
POST OFFICE
TRY no GET CASH FOR PRESENT
FOR THEMSELVES, BUT FAIL

Burglars broke into the Oakley
post Office Christmas night in an
attempt to secure cash. So far as is
known, they did not get any money,
They may have taken some packa-
ges, but this is not certain.
The burglars entered the lobby
and pried loose a section of the
post office boxes to get to the money
drawer They found it empty.
Postmaster De La Mare would not
dream of leaving money lying
around loose. The cash drawer was
as bare as old Mother Hubbard's
cupboard. The thieves evidently
decided then to give it up for a bad
job, so they pushed the section of
boxes around in place. Next day one
had to look close to see that any
thing had happened
hoo bCCii ihutn opCCuldllOil
as to who the burglars are. Many
theories have been formed, but the
local Sherlock Holiness have NOT
yet found anything definite.
Wonder has been expressed that
thieves would risk so much to get
peep into cash box. Perhaps they
had taken a few drinks of Christ
mas likker before working out the
glan of attack. Or perhaps they
started to do something else and
then changed their minds.
The evidence shows that the
house-breaking tools were used ra-
ther skillfully. cry little damage
was done to the section of post Of
flee boxes by the operations.
There are indications that there
are still burglars in this neighbor-
hood.

FAMOUS HEN, DIES
AT AGE OF Is YEARS
Did Not Believe i'm Retiring From
Active Life--On the job During
Last Year

''Turncoat," noted hen belonging
to MISE. w. Mcbride of Oakley, is
dead after a useful life of fifteen
years. 1t is said that the hen was
not in the least inclined to follow
w w methods, but kept at work.
AS a proof of this may be cited the
report that "Turncoat" celebrated
her 18th birthday by laying an egg.
'Turncoat's" name may be traced
to her personal history, for this is
not the name she received as a lit
tie chick. When 'Turncoat" was
spring chicken, she was black as d
crow; at her death she was white,
and for a long interval between
youth and old age she was neither
black nor white, but both ,-speck-
led Hence the name.
'Turncoat" was treated with the
respect due to a hen who has so far
passed the spring chicken period
She was given a comfortable roost,
and fed choice delicacies from the
table. She was so old that she did
not have to get sick to die-she just
shut her eyes and went to sleep.

Local Geological Formations
Indicate That Oakley Valley
Will Be A Great Oil Field Center

Local geological indications all
point to one outcome-that a great
oil well industry is going to be
developed in Oakley valley. There
isn't formation here that isn't
present in some famous oil field
This fact is brought out in a bulle-
tin of the U. S. Geological Survey.
as quoted in The Literary Digest,
on Hints on Oil Prospecting" This
bulletin is very encouraging to Oak
ley people who believe that nature
has stored up an immense reservoir
of oil beneath the ground we tread
daily.
What could sound better to us
than this?
Where surface indications
are reliable, they are geological,
we are told; and in most cases
the oil itself is visible, either
as film on water, or in the
pores of strata.
1t has ben known for years that
oil occurs in Oakley valley, not only
as film on water, but also in the
pores of stratal
Some people have falsely urged
that there is no oil in Idaho because
the forests in this state are ever
green. That this idea is a mere SUI
perstition is seen from a letter
written by Paul s. Reed, of Tulsa,
Oklahoma, to The Digest:

WATER FIR 0 N
RAFT RIVER WELL
BOILING H 0 7
SOUTHERN CASSIA COUNTY HAS
BRIGHT FUTURE IN FARMING

The artesian we'll on Raft river,
near the old Langford ranch, contin-
ues to give forth a large stream of
boiling water. AS the stream pours
from the eight-inch pipe, steam ri
ses like a cloud and can be seen for
miles. This might be called a pill
lar of cloud, leading the people of
Raft river on to a better way of
transforming the desert.
This well is a short distance
south of Malta, and near the Bridge
post office. The flow is estimated
all the way from so to 100 inches
Although the water was found at
depth of 450 feet, only 40 feet of
casing was needed, as the hole was
drilled through solid sandstone after
the first 40 feet. If the same forma-
tion underlies all Raft river valley,
the sandstone will mean a great
saving of piping
The man who drilled the fortu-
nate well is Chester w. Frazier. The
Inland Empire, published at Ida
home, Idaho, has this to say about
Mr.. Frazier:
when Chester w. Frazier, a re-
turned soldier boy of the world war,
whose home is in Milton, Oregon,
came into the Raft river valley and
secured land near Bridge, he made
up his mind that there was artesian
water to be had, and being a young
man made up of the right stuff,
he deliberately and determinedly
started drilling for it. He met with
many discouragements on the start. /
but he was man enough to bluff |
them off, and plugged away TILL on |
last Thursday, December Ia, his drill /
pierced the hard, fiint-like blush
gray rock at 407 feet, the drill drop /
ping apparently into space, and up |
rushed between so and 100 inches
of boiling hot water"
1t will be observed that the EN-
pire" places the depth at 407 feet,
while the Herald correspondents say
450 feet. The Empire" figure, no
doubt, is about correct.
Just how hot is the water? The
Empire" quotes Mr. Frazier as say
ing:
''It is hot enough after running
$50 feet to scald a hog"
According to the same newspaper,
''The water is pure and crystal
clear. Not particle of sand
appears"
Mr.. Frazier drilled his well at d
very small cost. The water cost him !
about nineteen dollars per acre inch. '
1t has been demonstrated several
lines in a practical manner that ar
esian water can be had in Oakley 4;
yalley for the drilling. We already /.
lave flock of wells, and more are
,eing developed. Some that have
proved successful are spouting two
,r three times as much sky juice as r
he Raft river we'll But evidently o
he underground river or lake or 4
whatever it may be, underlies Raft S
liver valley as well as Oakley valley. g
md Raft river valley will share with h
oakley in the reclamation of vast C
racts of arid but fertile land.

the height of the derrick, which
painted evergreen trees black
on all sides.
The fact that Idaho was once
thought to be without oil is in itself
good reason why prospectors
should come this way AS Mr.. Reed
continues, in The Digest:
'It has often been said that
yiu can not find oil where there
are pine trees. This delusion
may have affected wild-catters
more than is realized, and as
result it is likely that ever
green regions have not been
tested as much as others.
Another interesting point has been
brought too ur attention by j. w.
Toomey, local manager for the West
Pearl Oil and Gas Company Refe--
ence is to the hot formation at the
JD well on Goose creek. The hole
is now at a depth of 2455 feet,
and, as is well known, the large
stream of water which pours forth
is hot. According to Mr.. Toomey
this is not discouraging feature
in the least. During his recent Wis
it to Oklahoma he saw we'll
brought in in a formation fully as
hot as that at the JD well. And
that Oklahoma well in the hot for
nation is one that is doing mora
han it's share to make a very oily
state still more greasy. The oil was
struck at a depth of 4,O2S feet.

Washington, D. c.. February 2S.--
