Roes Reardslev, one of the directors of the Columbia River Development Co., was In town a day or two this week In the interest of that organisation. Mr. Beardsley is enthnslaatle Over the discovery and present development of the oil and gas field on theOolnmbla river, near Castle Rock, 16 miles above Arlington, in which his company is In terested. The discovery of gas was made a year a no last January by Mr. Reardalev and W. II. Col well while hnntlng in that vlcl nit v and after some preliminary In vestigation to assure themselves that the discovery waa reallv natnral Illumi nating gas, they proceeded with the organisation t a company to take np the work of active development of the field. The com pan v Is incorporated nnder the laws of Oregon with a capital stork of $500,000 divided Into 600,000 snares at $1,00 each. The officer of the company are all well known business men, of Gilliam and Morrow counties, of nn qnestionad Integrity, whose connection with the enterprise assures judicious management and square dealing with the stockholders. They arc the following: President Georee Coneer, of the First National Bank, of Heppner. Secretary Henry Crasa, of Arlington. Directors Geo. Conser, Heppner; W. H. Herrin, Olex ; Roes Beardsley, W. II. Colwell, A ll, Ruedy. Arlingten. The com pan v controls over 8000 acres of land In the new oil field and already considerable development work has been accomplished. At one place on Alder creek, on the Washington side, where the gas escapes throngh a crevice In the bed rock in the bottom of the creek, a tank, 4 feet in diameter, has been placed In the water over the crevice In which the gas collects in such quantity as to create a pressure capable of lifting nearly 1000 pounds weight. Another tank collects sufficient gas to furnlBh fuel for cooking purposes In the house where the company's work men are boarded. Oil seepages are also found In the district and and the Indica tions of oil found while prosecuting the work already done are very promising. Several oil experts have visited the district and, after making exhaustive examinations of the prospects, have de clared this field as giving promise of being as good as any yet discovered. The company has recently purchased a one-half Interest In a large oil well drilling rig which is capable of going t a depth of 2500 feet and they propose t sink a well with it at once. It ia th opinion of experts that oil and gas will both be found In paying quantities at depth of 1000 to 1500 feet. , This discovery, once developed and placed on a producing basis will mean much to the Inland Empire as no other known industry will produce wealth so rapidly aa an oil gusher. A llmIted.amount of stock ' has been placed on the market at the low price of 25 cents a share to secure funds for development and every dollar thus real iced will be used (or that purpose. The enterprise deserves the encour agement of every man who is interested In the development of Eastern Oregon and Washington andibesides the prom ise of a handsome return on the invest ment is very flattering.
