Oil Well VIII Go Down Soon,

According to the Hermiston Herald,
it is expected that the drilling for oil
in that vicinity will begin about Oc-
tober 1st, A driller is expected on the
field by the first Of September, and
shortly after this date it is hoped that
sufficient shares Of stock will have been
disposed of to start up the machinery.
The Hermiston paper states further:
"Mr, Archibald, an oil man of 81 years
experience, looked the field over a few
weeks ago and said this country looked
more like an oil country than any he
had ever seen before drilling commen-
ced. Mr., Archibald, who is now in Cas-
per, Wyoming, is known to some Of the
ld-timers in Pendleton, who Mr.. Leon
ard says, will vouch for his integrity.
n. D. Swearingen of the Pendleton hotel
has known him for 80 years"
], E. Leonard is pushing the oil prop
osition over at Hermiston and has more
than half OF the necessary money sub
scribed to put down well and prove
whether or not there is oil to be found
there.

VIII Our Radicals Take Heed :?

Every student of politics will await
with interest the effect, visible at the
next elections in the United States,
Of the change In Russia upon the
radical vote In this country.
IL has been the confidently ex-
pressed theory of the extreme Social
lists and the various kinds Of Reds
that communism. with free hand
such as 1t has had in Russia since the
fall Of the Kerensky Government,
would work out that Utopia which
radIcalism has painted.
But now communism, tried under
favorable circumstances, has broken
down. Even the most powerful OF
communIstic dictators has failed to
get anywhere with 1t except in the
direction of starvation. But will the
dreamers and yawpers of America
give up the dream because LEVINE
and Russia have awakened?
We doubt that there win be a

Quitting a Costly Club.

The general desire TO cut out expen-
sire luxuries Is seen In the reported
negotiations of Nicaragua to resign
from the League of Nations. The re-
public finds that her membership Is
costing her $4,000 a year. That item
is small, as Washington figures 60,
but Ii means good deal In little
country. 1t Is more than one-tenth
of the interest Nicaragua pays on her
national debt. 1t is about 2lh per
cent. OF Nicaragua's total Government
expenditures.
Nicaragua is having the experience
OF a man who joins a club which he
doesn't need and can't afford but
which attracts him because II Is fash
ionable. All he gets out of II Is bills
for dues. He never goes out on the
tennis courts, never has q chance 10
call down the house committee. Nc
aragua sees that she does not need to
belong to the Geneva club. Peril to
Nicaragua means peril to her canal
route: and as that route is the prop
erty of the United States 1t Is reason-
able for Nicaragua to be confident
that her big brother In the north Is
playmate enough without the expense
Of Joining a costly club.
The New York herald., 1921-03-24

Since the original republic was dis
solved into the FIVE separate and in
dependent States in 1889 there have
been persistent attempts made to re-
store the union. Partial consolida-
tions have been effected between some
of the countries from time 70 time.
but such unions have never been able
TO survive for more than brief pc
riod the complicated cross currents
OF Central American politics.
Although Guatemala. Salvador.
Honduras and Costa Rica have signed
the present pact OF union. Nicaragua 3
aloofness presents formidable OBJ
stacle to the success Of the confeder-
alton. There are few indications that
this latest attempt at union Will diff
fer materially from the other expert
ments made during the past eighty
years.

wilIem Mengelberg will close his
season as guest conductor OF the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra tomorrow
night and start back for Amsterdam.
his home. the next day. He win re-
turn to New York next January to con-
duct for three months the merged Ma
t.onal Symphony and Philharmonic and
viii. he declared, be the ar.irt.c head
Of a musical organization that will not
re hampered In IT'S musical pursuits by
any labor union restrictiona
Tho Dutch conductor made that dec
iaration in an Interview yesterday as
one of the conditions he laid down when
ne agreed to return as guest conductor
Of the merged orchestra for a series Of
conoorts through February, March and
April. Joseph Stransky and Artur
Bodanzky will conduct the early con-
certs OF the season.
Mr.. Mengelberg, seen in his apart
ment in the Langdon and asked how
the recent labor troubles between the
Federation of Musicians would affect
his future planA replied:
"Tho labor question will be settled
oy the time I come back ! am re-
turning to conduct the concerts Of the
new Philharmonic under conditions
which must be met. The union win
meet US half way at least Union rules
make concerts in New York too expen-
sive. am not going into the quea-
tions of future salaries OF musicians or
OF the open shop as to symphonic or
chestras, but I will say that conditions
will be much easier next year. The
conditions heretofore laid down by the
union were impossible.
II cannot prepare a concert with a two
hour rehearsal as laid down by the
union Abroad we have no such rules.
We have In Amsterdam three hour re-
hearsals. The same conditions must
obtain here. For instance, We have
paid as much as $500 alone for over
time at a single rehearsal since l have
been in New York. That Is altogethcr
too costly and cannst be continued.
1T leave the National Symphony one
of the best, II not the very best. musi-
cal organization. In America" added Mr..
Mengelberg. II asked OF the musicians
when / came: viii you study under
mer They said they would and they
did We have accomplished much and
there Is bright future ahead In an
other season. I shall have under me
l20 selected musicians twenty first and
twenty second violins, and so forth.
