New 8-inch casing to the full depth
of nearly 900 feet to which the well
is now drilled was put in the Cres
cent Oil company's well at Tenino
this week, and it is believed by the
officers o fthe company that this will !
insure them a "dry hole" in which to
work. As soon as the casing is in
stalled, the drilling which the officers
hope will produce a "gusher" when
the third oil sands are struck, will be j
resumed. The company's stock was
taken off the market last Saturday
night and will not be put on sale
again for several days and then very
likely at an increased price.

To curtail expenses in case the
courts decide that 7.35 mills of the
city's levy of 17.35 mills is illegal
under a recent supreme court deci
sion, the city council this week adopt
ed a resolution dispensing at once
with all street lights in both the resi
dential and business sections. L. B.
Faulknor, manager of the Olympia
Light & Power company, which has
a five-year contract with the city for
a certain number of lights, says his
company will continue to furnish
lights under the contract and would
hold the city to it. Councilman Yau
ger and Powe, who were appointed
by the mayor at the last meeting to
determine where the city's expenses
could be reduced, made the recom
mendation upon which this resolu
tion was based. They also recom
mended: (1) The reduction of the
police force from five men as at pres
ent, to three, consisting of the chief
and two patrolmen; (2) the discon
tinuance of the $lO a month salaries
of the four men who sleep at the fire
station at night to respond to fire
alarms, such men to be paid hereafter
only in case runs are made, their sal
aries to exceed $lO a month in no
case; (3) the reduction of the street,
department to consist of one team,
one extra man and the street commis
sioner; (4) the elimination of all
purchases that are not absolutely ne
cessary to maintain the city govern
ment; (5) the elimination of all im
provement work that requires pre
liminary expenditure on the part of
the city for surveys, plans and spe
cifications and the like. The mayor
FARMERS MARKET PLACE
If you are not using the parcel post, you are making a big mistake.
The farmers below are using it and it's making money for them.
Some of these advertisements were first printed last Friday; at U o'clock
Saturday morning the first answer came to one of them. That shows they
BRING RESULTS, just as we said they would, and advertising that
doesn't bring results is no good.
You can test the value of this advertising yourself at no cost, for
every farmer who is a subscriber to The Washington Standard may publish
We want to show you what you're missing—we want to demonstrate to
you that yon are overlooking a big op|H>rtunity when you don't use the
parcel post—and we are giving you this chance to find it out.
NO OTHER NEWSPAPER IN THIS COUNTY EVER MADE YOU AN

Swiss Are Interesting.
An interesting feature of both
days' sessions was the attendance of
a number of the Swiss colonists that
tire settled on logged-off lands near
ISordeaux. Their explanations of
their plans and the work to be done
proved of great interest to the immi
gration men of the railroads and oth
ers interested In the problem. The
members of the community explained
that the lands would be cleared by
■o-operative working, the whole col
ony turning out to clear five acres for
each householder as a start.
