GAS IN
LOCAL WELL

Tuesday morning at $3.50 A. Nj.
the Idaho Oil & Gas Co., brought in
gas well at the location where
they are drilling at Payette, which
had 40 pound pressure on steam
gauge, which is equal to 70 to 80
pounds pressure on gas guage. A
line was laid at once to the top of
the derrick and connected with the
gas and it was then demonstrated
that the gas would burn. Not hav-
ing an air valve and the pressure
being so high, it would not burn
satisfactorily, for the pressure would
have a tendency to blow the flames
out, but the people that were at the
well were perfectly convinced that
the gas burns with a very high pres
sure of heat.
At four O'Clock in the afternoon
Of the same day, water started break
ing into the we'll and it filled up
clear to the top, which affected the
pressure OF the gas considerably.
The drilIers are working now to shut
off the water and see whether they
can save the gas, so the water will
not interfere A test was also made
on Thursday morning with the hole
cull OF water and there Is still
pressure OF 20 pounds of gas.
The directors af the Idaho OIL &
Gas Co. met on Wednesday at the Of
flee Of the Company and they all
seem to be in favor of going on
deeper, for they are convinced from
experience that there is larger
strata OF gas further down,
We might mention that DR., Hough
who happens to be in Payette at this
time, has visited the well and came
voluntarily to talk to the Directors
and, stated that he has had con
siderable experience in oil fields in
his travels. In fact, he feels that
he was indirectly the cause of de-
ye,oping the oil fields owned by the
English in Mexico and Mesopo-
tamia He said that ne has never
seen a place that looked to have bet
ter prospects for oil and gas than in
this vicinity. He also thinks that
at 1900 or 1909 feet they are bound
to strike oil at the present location
where the Company is now drilling.
The Directors of the Company
thanked DR.. Hough for his visit and
report as they are convinced that
DR.. Hough is a well educated man
and has had considerable expert
ence in oil fields.
The Idaho Oil & Gas Co. invites
everyone to come to the well and
they will try and show them what
ever they can and will try to prove
their honest endeayors to develop
the State of Idaho in mineral lines,
which remain unexpiored. 1t is the
Irrtr- Dr n n
proposition and judge for them
selves whether it is meritorious. The
man that tries must succeed.

A FORTUNATE
AUTO ACCIDENT

A bad auto smash-up, yet lortu-
nate one occurred last SUNDAY even
ing on the Highway about oqe mile
north of Fruitland when the Oak
land Six, driven by Cecil Brown Of
Payette, crashed into a Ford driven
by Leon Stewart of Fruitland, with
four other occupants in the car. The
accident occurred on the state high
way near the Cregor ranch @hortly
after dark. 1t is said the Brown
car was being driven at high rate
of speed, the two cars were going IN
directions and the rear end
Of the Oakland swung to the right
crashing into the Ford with suffic-
lent force to tear of three tires from
the Ford and otherwise demolishing
the car. bending the rear axle Of the
big car causing the rear wheels to
lock and skid for a distance of sew
or eighty feet. There were
two other boys in the car with young
Brown, and none Of the occupants OF
either car were injured which seems
almost miraculous.

OIL EXPERT HAS GREAT
FAITH IN THIS VALLEY

VIM. e. Stephens, President of the
National Security Oil Company of
California, who now has five wells
drilling in the California fields. has
been here for the past ten days go
ing over leases obtained by J. G..
and D. L. Harris.
Portions Of these leases he pro-
nounced very valuable for oil. Mr..
Stephens is yer enthusiastic over the
prospects, although he came here
very seeptical as to the results of his
surveys.
In his opinion the oil deposits OF
this district of Idaho, are fully I'D to
the average Of any OF the California
nelds. The straks which are. as
defined by him with his methods.
are very similar in every respect to
those IN California, and in many
cases very irregular. and that by the
methods Of Geology, it may for wears
remain an undeTeloped Oil State.
MI. stephens hopes to return at an
early date to make a more complete
survey and assist in developing this
district. . '-'-''
Mr.. Stephens states emphaticaIIv
that he is an operator and viii nor
lease any land that he can not an
prove of for operation.
Another local company will be
formed at once and operations he
gin at an early date with assurance
70 all stockholders that the Com
pany will secure production in com
mercial quantities.

4 WORD TO PARENTS.

The publisher of newspaper mag
be ciassed as a smart aieck, or a
fault finder, but when we constantly
see conditions that need recttfying,
especially where the lives Of the peo-
pie are in danger we feel it cur duty
to call attention to the fact. Since
the streets have been paved the
temptations for children. 10, ride up
and down on bicycles without any
particular necessity is placing them
in grave danger, often two small
children on one wheel whe pay little
or no attention to where they are
going, leaving the many auto driv-
ers to dodge them as best they can
is bound sooner or later to result in
a fatal accident. The pavement is 4
tempting place to ride, but it is a
dangerous place for child's play
ground,

HUNTERS BAG THE LIMIT.

Saturday and Sunday, the first
two days of the open season for
shooting ducks, practically every
sport who owned gun, or could
borrow, beg or steal one, was out
after the feathered tribe, and most
of them reported bagging their limit.
Monday, on the street corners no
limit of discussion was had as TO how
it allhappened. Tho fellow who re-
turned without any ammunition and
but few birds could easily explain
how it happened, they fell in the
tullies or floated down stream. A
few miles up the Payette river where
the majority of the hunters opened
up the first volley and for two hours
after. the bombardment resembled a
winter evening around the fireplace
when the popcorn was good and dry,

BUICK CAR STOLEN.

One of the boldest robberies that
has taken place in this community
for many years was the theft of E.
w. Equals Buick Six which ec=
cured last night about eight o'clock
in the evening. Mr.. Equals, propri-
etor of the Golden Rule, drove the
car down town after supper and
parked it in front of the store while
attending to some business in side.
and at the time the car was taken
Mr.. Equals was just inside next TO
the door and heard the car start.
but as many other cars were parked
near by, paid no attention, but dis
covered the car missing about thirty
minutes later. The officers were
Immediately notified and are at
work on the case. The car was COW
cred by insurance.
LATER-The car was recovered
in Weiser being found parked on the
street.

PROBATION TO GROWERS.

The fruit, growers of this section
should be advised of the fact that
in all probabilities the car shortage
will be more or less continued for
some time and every grower should
endeavor to get his fruit in some
kind of storage or temporarily shell
ter. The use OF box cars while the
weather conditions are favorable is
altogether advisable. especially on
the hard winter varieties. We are
not advised as to why the shortage
and every effort is being made to re-
'ieve the condition, but while this is
being done. the growers should do
their part in saving the crop from
heavy frost which is sure to come.

TO AvoID AUTO ACCIDENTs.

At the regular meeting of the City
Council last Monday evening. an
order was given for the purchase Of
a silent policeman. or iron post for
the center of street intersections to
to govern the traffic on the street
corners, which will eliminate much
of the opportunity for accidents
Danger signs were ordered made, to
be placed near the city school
houses. This is a good move on the
part of the council. Too much pre-
caution can not be taken to avoid
automobile accidents.

last Thursday night is still a my
terry as to who are the guilty par
ties. The officers are still working
on the case. but the work was done
