FROM PAYETTE
 
Encouraging Report from the Oregon Oil Fields
 
Payette, March 10 -- Chalmer Jacobs, a boy 12 years old attempted to run away 
yesterday.  He was found in a hayloft waiting for a chance to board the blind 
baggage of some train.
 
J.S. Napton & Sons returned Saturday from the Oregon oil fields where they 
have spent a week in making examinations and locating claims.  They report 
finding of excellent prospects on Birch creek where they located 10,000 acres 
and will soon commence to drill.  They visited the works of the California 
company on Dry gulch but could get no information as every man was too busy to 
talk.  The company seemed to be rushing work for some cause.
 
W. R. Whipple and wife retuned this morning from an extended visit with Mr. 
Whipple's folks in Erie county, Pennsylvania.
 
D. K. McNeal of British Columbia was here Saturday buying heavy work horses.  
He would only buy horses weighing 1200 or more, for which he paid a good big 
price, over $100 per head for some.
