VALLEY OIL COMPANY
DRILLING STEADILY

h After many vexatious de-
hys, incident to the drilling
Tor oil in any new territory,
She Valley Oil company have
Eeettled down in their oper-
Ations at the well near Hooper
and from now on there will
probably be nothing to inter-
yere with the steady dropping
6f the drill.
On Wednesday of this week
ehe 15R-inch casing-some
300 to 400 feet of it-had all
Been set and the 12Is-inch
easing is now being placed by
two shifts of men at a good
fate of speed.
n The company has been to
quite an expense in securing
The rotary drilling outfit which
was found to be absolutely
necessary for the formation.
IN addition to this, they have
had to purchase q considerable
quantity of large casing, SO
Hat they find themselves con-
lfonted with an urgent de-
|snand for funds to continue
drilling. The heavy expense
has already been covered and
al that remains is for the de-
lipquent subscribers to "come
aeross" with the money for
sctual running expenses. If
work is suspended from a
lack Of funds, the loss through
Occurring a new crew and COM
lhencing operations again
would be material and un-
esssaary.
The interest Of all valley
people is very great in the out
come Of this oil venture. With
a management of integrity, the
well will actually be driven to
the extent of the funds pro-
vided by the loyal ones who
have subscribed stock in the
project. The drilling is being
:arried on night and day and
it Is the hope of every one that
there may be no interruption
until the oil field Is definitely
proven.

DIGGING SPUDS FOR
EARLY SHIPMENT
THIS WEEK

That big crop of potatoes in
this locality is fast maturing
for the harvest, and in about
ten days will be ready for stor-
age. A number of fields are
practically ready this week,
and a considerable amount of
digging has been done.
Growers of the large acre
ages are anxious to start dig
ging in order to get their pota-
toes out of the ground before
the freeze. The shipping faci-
lities and price are hampsrins
the market somewhat, but the
growers are preparing to har-
vest the crop, as there is y gen.
eral feeling that the market
will improve later.
1t is possible to obtain only
about ten cars a day for ship
ing potatoes, while the actual
shipping needs to market the
crop in good season with out
storing. would probably run
up close to q hundred cars. 1t
is practically impossible to get
refrigerator cars, box cars and
stock cars being utilized for
the purpose.
Thursday the car distributor
had orders for las cars for the
days shipping, and had no car
in sight, but had promise Of
from 40 to 50 for Friday,
which would include very few
il any refrigerator cars. He
states that there is little pros
pect of obtaining refrigerator
cars for the next thirty days.
The price offered Thursday
is reported ut so to 65 cents.
though one car was made up
Wednesday at Toe. This offer
was made because u shipper
had one refrigerator car, and
a sure market for immediate
delivery. 1t is expected that
later crop estimates for the
United States will show n great
decrease in the yield and this
1t Is generally believed will
have . definite effect upon the
market, cutting down the sup
ply In sufficient quantity to in.
sure = more satisfactory price
for the potatoes marketed.
Next week will start the
heaviest digging. ~ where Il
was possible the harvest Ia,
been delayed. Among the
largest fields In this locality Il
that belonging to J. c. Pepper
who has about 226 acres.

LIVE merchants advertise be-
cause they want the people to know
OF the goods they have to sell, es-

ads because they want to know
where they can buy to the best ad-
