TALK Of OIL AND
GAS AGAIN RIFE
|NPOLk COUTY
By Charles B. Hodgkin.

Dallas, Or, April MANY peo-
pie Of the influential class in this
county are laboring under the
firm belief that i2ere is plenty OF
oil and gas under the ground in
Dallas, and as they evidently have
some good reason for their beliel
they naturally think that the mat
ter should have more attention
than II is receiving.
This belief exists in face Of tht
fact that so-called government.
biologists have pronounc e d
against the existence of Oil III
quantities that would pay to pro.
duce 1t. There Is seemingly nc
doubt as to the existence OF oil. Ii
has been discovered In number
OF wells, and those who express
q familiarity with conditions de
clare that 1t would not be diff
cult to drill and secure enough
natural gas to heat and light ey-
cry house In Dallas and also foi
cooking purposes.
1t is long story that accounts
for the failure to develop this ter
ritory for either gas or oil. In
nutshell It Is claimed that exist
ing oil producers are so powefiu.
that 1t has proved an impossibility
to interest capital to any extent to
exploit the production and some
Dallas people, some of them using
gas from wells dug for water
have not sufficient confidence III
the field, in the face Of the geolog
ical report, to back up their be-
lief in the existence of this valu-
able product with their own capt.
tai
"A couple OF drills have beer
put down over 1000 feet and III
both instances gas was encounter
ed, and in one instance a consider
able supply was found, but not In
a sufficient quantity to warrant !
being classed as find. Many OF
those who were interested in the
drilling operations were of tn,
opinion that could they have gon,
down a few hundred iaet deepe
they would have struck oil in pay
ing quantities.
The present situation seems t.
be one that needs attention. Ii
there is cheap fuel In Dallas II
should be developed. 1t would be
the means of building big fan
tory town where Dallas stands. II |
would make every acre Of land In
Polk county more valuable be-
cause the building OF such town
would furnish employment to po-
tential users of farm products. The
people interested desire facts con-
eerning the presence OF oil and |
gas. IL the facts as received |
should warrant the outcome the
adverse report of the government
geologist could be removed and II
would be possible to interest men
with capital to at least secure tn,
development Of what is claimed L
be certainly here. \

TO HEED SIGNALS

Signal bells and wig wag
signals at grade crossings COM
mand but little respect from the
average motorist, according to T.
A. Raffety, chief Of the state traf-
ric squad.
In test conducted at the East
Alta street crossing In Pendleton
IN February IL only two out Of a
total OF 80 automobiles using the
Irossing during the 43-minute
period, came to complete stop as
he law requires when approach
ing a crossing with warning bel.
and "wig-wag" In operation. Nine
others slowed their automobiles
down to a speed of Is miles as is
'equlred In approaching any grade
;rossing whether protected by sig
nails or not. The other 19 "hit 'er
Up" over the crossings at speeds
varying from 20 to 80 miles per
hour with the bell and wig g-wag"
in operation during the entire test
period.
In letter which Raffety is
sending out to the members OF the
state state squad particular atten-
tion is called to this appartent
disregard on the part of motorists
Tor warning signals at railroad
crossings and for the state laws
overing the use of grade cross
ings.
Raffety lays stress upon the
point that the state traffic regula-
lions require all motorists to bring
heir machines down to a speed OF
not to exceed 15 miles an hour
cora di stance of 150 feet from
grade crossing, Non observance
of this provision, he points out, is
a direct violation of the law and
Is punishable by the courts.

l4OO POUNDS OF RODENT
POISON SENT TO FARMS

Dallas, Or, April About
400 pounds of squirrel poison
has been prepared by County
Agent Paul Carpenter and shipped
out to the community committee
men by freight. The entire ship
ment, this being the second con-
signment, amounted to 19 large
burlap sacks, each Of the commit
teemen receiving about 80 pounds.
The poison is mixed under a
standard formula and Is sold to
the farmers at actual cost. Last
year the amount of poison put out
amounted to 1000 pounds, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Carpenter, the
amount this year will greatly ex-
ceed that amount.

Boston, March 13.-Edward j
O'Brien, scientist and author, declared
today that the ghost of Antagonist
was in reality the product of cleo
trical energy.
After a months investigation in the
Nova Scotia country O'Brien said he
found that strong wireless currents
between the two great radio stations
at Wellfleet, Mass, and Glace bay,
n. s., ran thru the valley at Caledonia.
Mills, where stands the home Alexan=
der Macdonald, scene of the events.
1.-The MacDonalds," he said. will
have to move their house out of range
of these powerful radio currents II
they wish to avoid the ghostlike Incl
dents. If not. the house may be
burned down when the atmosphe eric
conditions are just right, as they ap-l
parently were when the fires were set
around the barn"
The braiding of the tails of the
Macdonald cows was done by Mary
Ellen, the. Antigonish farmers foster
daughter, because it was good fun, in
the opinion of O'Brien.

MADAL YNNE TO TRIAL AGAIN
Weekend Rest Doesn't Aid Woman
Charged With kennedy's Death.

Los Angeles. March 13.-Madalynne
Obcnchain was on the verge of q
breakdown on the witness stand today
at her trial for the murder of J. Bel
ton Kennedy when Deputy District
Attorney Keyes cross examined her by
his questions, leading her back to the
scene of the Staying.
Before the trial was resumed, Mrs.
Obenchain said that the rest obtained
over the week-en had failed to re-
store her strength and that she feared
the ordeal of again relating the de-
tails of the murder might cause her to
collapse on the stand
I'm so weak" she said, 'T feel that
I can't go thru with it if they drag my
cross examination with any great
length.''
In his cross examination today
Keyes began with the point of Mrs
Obenchain's story in which she met
Kennedy on the day of the murder and
went with him for the automobile ride
which had its fateful finish in the
tragedy at his cabin in Beverly Glen.

They Didn't Intend to Keep All,
HOOVER THRU Topeka TODAY
But the Secretary Was Neither Talking
or Seeing Visitors.

Being in the Kansas capital Is a
trifling matter for a busy man like
Herbert G. Hoover, secretary Of COM
merce.
AS a matter of fact no one would
have known that the cabinet member
and the man who told US what to eat
during the war was aboard the Rock
Islands Golden State Limited when it
passed thru Topeka today at11 o'clock
had it not been for a kindly tip from
the conductor.
A reporter made a dash for drawin g
room A in the first car at the rear
of the diner but he got no further.
A tall, young man, who has lived in
the east too long to know all about
the plain American language, acting
a some sort of an attendant or body
guard. was the reason.
If it was message, certainly 1t
would be delivered, but if it was
other business it could wait until Mr..
Hoover got back to Washington. No.
the secretary was seeing no one. let
alone having any statement to make
for publication.
From c. c. Stetson. the secretary s
personal stenographer. it was learned
however. that Mr.. Hoover was on his
way to El Paso, Tex. to attend a
water right hearing as affecting terri
tory along the Colorado river. From
Ell Paso, he will go to California for
a short stay but will attend a similar
hearing at Salt Lake on his return trip
to Washington. Mrs. Hoover is a
member of the party.
