GAS AND COAL ON UPPER SNAKE Ontario Company Making Test Find Sure Indicat* ions of Both ONTARIO, Or., July 24.—C. W. Tay- ! lor, secretary and manager of the Ore- ! K"n O 1 and Gas company, expects to begin at once the sinking of wells In this vicinity for the development of natural gas and petroleum. The ; starting of this work has been greatly ! delayed by the nonarrival of machin- j cry, including a Star drilling machine j to operate with steam power, and cap able of sinking to a depth of 3,000 feet. The company has some 20,000 acres under lease in this section of the Snake River valley for oil and gas prospecting and production, which Mr. Taylor considers to cover a well defined oil-bearing basin, possibly 20 miles in width by 40 miles' in length. It is known to be underlain by a stratum of blue shale, below which Is believed to be oli-bearlng sand rock, which is the source of the oil and gas that are forced to the surface in so many places. It is further believed that the lava formation to the east and west partially marks the boundary of the oil basin. Petroleum gas accompanies the flow of water that comes up through vari ous channels; the well water of On tario is accompanied by gas, as Is seen in pumping water into closed tanks; black sand has also been forc ed to the surface from great depths by the pressure of gas through breaks in the formation. Charles Atherton, whose farm Is three miles west of Ontario, encoun tered gas so strong recently in his 200-foot well that his pump was thrown out by the gas pressure, and this action forced up a quantity of crude oil. Mr. Taylor thinks in all probability they will strike the oil at a depth cf 1800 feet, and anticipates .tapping a strong volume of gas before reaching the oil. He considers the Indications are the most favorable of those In any locality where prospecting has been started. Many of the producing fields elsewhere had a less pronounced sur face showing than Is visible here. It s suggested that the abundance of cheap power, made possible by get ting an oil supply here, will have an Important part in Irrigating sagebrush lands that are high above the gravity canals, as cheap fuel oils can be em ploye4 in operating steam pumps to lift the water to the required height.

Do you advertise on the "hit or miss" plan? Has the whole matter of publicity seemed to you a complicated "guess?" And have you been content to "guess wrong" a good deal of the time? Have you figured the thing out as one of life's lotteries —in which, if "luck" is with you, an occasional prise may be drawn; but in which, most of the time, "blanks'' are to be your por tion ? Do you "try" about every sort of plausible "advertising" plan or schema that is presented to you^—tie up your appropriation te dead walls and bill boards and "dodgera" and "novelties" and the various kinds of fol-de-rol that look as though there "might be something in it?" Well, there are a great many ways in which to "advertise." If you have "sown your wild cate" as an adver tiser, "settle down" and confine your self to "newapaer publicity"—and oomenoe te make aome money—to get some returns from your investment.
