TO DRILL FOR OIL The Camp Crook Gazett,e of last week contained the folowing: An asociation of citizens of Camp Crook and vicinity was formed last week for the purpose of investigating the oil and gas possibilities in this region. A temporary organization was formed by the election of a board of directors, consisting of 1.. A. deBelloy, E. P. Whitcomb, J. R. Emery, Wm. McDonald and C. T. Afartin. The board then organized and elected offi- .!ers as follows: L. A. deBeloy, pres- ident; A. It. McDermott, tretteurer, and Paul A. Wiest, secretary. A subscription list was started for the purpose of raising fun& to defray the expenses of exploration work in the adjacent country. 'The list is open for a limited thne, and everybody is invited to join in the movement. It is not a stock-eelling scheme, but merely a preliminary step in the ef- fort to determine whether or not the geological conditions hereabouts are favorable enough to justify a perma. nent organization and further ex- penditure. At present we have nothing on which to base an oil boom, and there is no intention on the part of those interested to try to \start something,\ unless there is a foundation for it. It is the foundation we are hunting for. No well.defined \domes\ or \anticlines\ have been making faces st anybody around here, so far as known. There are, however, a num- ber of our people who feel confident of success and are enthusiastic in pushing the effort to prove out the ,masible oil resources of the country.

Afore- , over, she threatened to quit work un- lese it was forthcoming. Now the! scholars are out with a petition pray- j ing the board to raise the salary of ! this instructor, as they claim she is entitled to it. But the secretary of the board, when seen by an Eagle tepresentative, stated that the teach- ers were receiving the limit, and in order to do anything the taxes would have to be raised in order to pay an increase of salary. The levy fixed ny the hoard is taxed to its limit, and they don't see how they can raise the price and come out whole at the end of the year. The out- come will be watched with interest.
