NO. 10 ORANGEVILLE, IDAHO COUNTY, IDAHO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1922. $1.50 THE YEAR CONFIDENT OIL EXISTS IN INLAND EMPIRE IN SPITE OF ADVERSE REPORTS ' i I •400 Stockholders at Spokane and Members of Lewiston Com mercial Club Give Unanimous Vote of Confidence to Operators Now Seeking Oil. The exploitation of prominent lndl orations of great natural resources throughout the Inland Empire has been given severe setbacks by the adverse criticisms of so-called geologists con nected with the federal bureau of mines and state Institutions, which has had a tendency to aet In motion the tongues of the many "knockera" throughout the land. Prominent people who are Interested In developing the country have been arrested and placed under heavy bonds have been dragged into court and sub jected to severe grillings in an effort U prove they were fakirs, all to no avail; many of the "geologists" differ ed in their reports regarding the for mations prevalent in the Inland Em pire, and positive declarations have been made that the entire district was barren of both oil and coal in commer cial quantities. Five minutes after the report of a Li- S. government geologist was read at a meeting of the stockholders of the Eastern Washing Oil company on Tues -day of this week, 400 investors voted unanimously to disregard the "ex jert's" statements and proceed to sink the well to 2000 feet, and before ad journing the meeting also tendered a vote of confidence to their president Alfred L'Ecuyer. , On the very same day at Lewiston wemliers of the Commercial club ten dered Patrick Gibbons a vote of con fidence. Mr. Gibbons is drilling for oil at what is known as the Swallow's Nest, on the Snake river between Lew iston and Asotin At the Club luncheon Mr. Gibbons rendered a report on exist ing conditions encountered in the Lew iston field and among other remarks the following appeared : "Two months ago we struck a bed of asphalt and are in it yet. I con sider that the possibility of failure to get oil has lieen absolutely wiped out. The field here will come in. You can't stop it, and the growth of Lewiston and Clarkston is assured. You will have the most imperial city of the northwest."

County Assessor Calvin Hazelbaker 1 -returued the first of the week from a meeting of the assessors of the state I Leid at Boise last week and states that the gathering was productive of i much good. Fourty-four of the county j -assessors were present at the meeting. ' Much importance is placed in the meetings of the assessors in January and August of each year, so much so that the board of equalization would not forego these gatherings, but for «conomy's sake it has been decided by the state to dispense with the state meetings of the sheriffs and county suditors. There will be a change this year in the assessment covering several «lasses and kinds of livestock. Common cattle will be assessed this year on a valuation of $20 per head, while in 1921 the valuation for taxa tion was placed at $26 ; long and short horn yearlings last year were as sessed at a head value of $12.60, and this year, this lias been reduced to a valuation of $10; common milch cows this year are placed at the same valu ation as last year, namely, $40 per head ; thoroughbred cows and cattle were assessed at $65 last year, and this same valuation will apply this year; registered hulls were placed at $100 last year, and this valuation re mains unchanged for 1922; work horses will be assessed on a valuation this year of $50, while last year the ■same class of livestock was placed at $60; stock horses will be assessed on ii valuation of $15 this year, the same as last, and the meeting decided not to lie particular ais-nt the count of range horses. Sheep will be assessed at $4 valuation, as was the case last year, and hogs on a basis of five cents a pound, which was last year's valua tion- * , it , A , , , been admitted to vocational training, | Hie latest coming to onr notice being | Rasil Harris, who has been ordered j to report at Portland within the next , few weeks, and where he will he tried OH ' °" '. hP l lno 'ype- , Basil is an expert on the linotype. but on account of his hearing being further Impaired since his Induction into the army, he is handicapped to sorac extent.
