After fluctuating back and forth witk more or le vio lence, the cost of living aeemi to be aomewhere near station ary Recent figures from the U. S. Department of Commerce show that the average level of price is represented by the index figure 165. compared with the figure of 100, which represents the; average scale before the war. Though the prices of cer tain food products went up through the summer and fall, this advance has not yet been reflected by any considerable ad vance in other costs. The average cost of living according to these recent figures is just the same as that prevailing one year previously. It is earnestly to be hoped that the general level of prices will not be permitted to go any higher, since such a tendency is almost sure to be followed by a decline in buying power. The producers and distributors of manufactured goods should be content with small margins of profit In many cases, if producers take advantage of better times to jack up their prices, their sales will fall off correspondingly. The workers should realize that labor troubles create losses, and tend to slow ud business, and in the end react on the trades that resort to industrial conflict. Economists have generally expected a sradual fall in prices for a period of years, arguing from the analogy of the period after the some 30 years. But conditions are somewhat different now. Good farm land costs much more money than it did then, which keeps food prices up and when food costs are high, other things are high also. Hence the cost of living will not probably re turn to the figures prevailing in 1914, yet it would promote prosperity if h could recede considerably from the. present level. 0 . Men and women of all political parties will regret to see Secretary Hughes stepping out of his work as secretary of state. However people may differ with Mr. Hughes' opinions, it will generally be admitted that he exemplified what could be cal led straightforward diplomacy. Old fashioned diplomacy hid high trump cards up its sleeves, and manipulated them with astute dexterity. It frequently won its games by this masterly play. But that policy leaves irritations behind. The losers realize they have in some mysterious way been buncoed. It has been the American idea to play a franker and more open game, saying what you mean and meaning what you say, and that in the end this policy would win more confidence and produce better practical results. Secretary Hughes' frank and sincere mind was well adapted to express tlu's ideal, and he exemplified it In all his relations with foreign powers. David F. Houston, a former member of President Wilson's cabinet, thinks much is done to solve labor troubles when the wage-earners buy stock in the companies by which they are employed. He pointed out in a recent address how improved relations are being created by encouraging this practice. Form erly the wage-earners were told that they must make themselves so powerful through organization, that their employers and the community would have to yield and business was often so injured by this policy that the indus tries could not pay good wages. When the employes have a financial interest in the success of a company, they will work harder for its prosperity, and the concern will usually be able to ay better wages.

FEDERAL FAl 01 BANK ACT IS DISCUSSED Its Greatest Enemy Farmer Himself, Declaration of Geo. A. Mansfield.

UnKUe, of Klamath Knlls, as delegates to the conven tion of farm loan associations to be held In Spokane In April. Mrs. Hylvla J. Ilrown, of Hoseburg. and (1. A.

Ap plying federal loans to Irrigated lHnds was the chief subject under discussion at the Monday after noon setiaton of the meeting of the Southern Oregon district of the Federal Farm Lonn Hank Associa tion, and in tho evening titMirge C. Jewel t. secretary of tho Spokane Federal Land Hank, addressed the delegates on "national co-operativo marketing and financing." Mr. Jewett in his address ex plained the workings of the farm loans and the Intermediate credit act, ami declared "1 shudder to think what the outcome would have been if the farmer had not had the I Federal Farm Loan during the per iod of liquidation following the great war." Mr. Jewett told the difficulties thst bcoet the operation of the law in Its primary stsges, including the indifference of the agricultural in terests to the bill. Kqunlization of freight ratea was advanced as one of the procedures necessary fir the smoother operation of Iho Fed eral Farm Loan act. George A. Mansfield of this city described the Federal Ioan Hank Act as "the most magnificent piece of legislation ever conceived for jthe benefit of the farmer." He fur I ther declared "in my opinion Its Krewtewt enemy Is the farmer hit.i I self." He urged the farmer to cant aside "carping criticism, jealousy land prejudice. Inform himself of the workings of the law, and fl I kiw It In an Intelligent and de ! t'Tmlned manner." (The committee on resolutions was 'selected as follows: Mrs. I II. Hague, Klamath county: A.

GAS HI) 111 LEEPER DOME At 650 Feet Drill Strikes Into Soft Shale and Sand. SOME OIL IS APPARENT Sufficient Quantities of Gas Come Up to Make Re spectable Blaze Work Progresses. Does anyone ever remember of throwing a lighted match Into a pall of water to start a fire? This may appear to very man who have tried to build a fire In the kitchen stove with wet kindling as a frivolous question and wholly ir levalent to any every day experi ence. It may be. But there Is one notable historical Instance when water did burn. That waa a long time ago, and the matter was quite widely advertised during that per iod. But we are not burning wa ter these days. Conditions are not the same, and the occasion at this time not parallel to that of those early days in the world's history. However, If water on this SOth day of January, 1925, will not burn, then when it appears to do so, there must be something or some prop erty in it that doea bum. Yesterday afternoon a group of Roseburg men stood by the Leeper Dome well where the drill was thundering away approximately 700 feet below the surface. The time came for bailing out the water and pulverized rock. Workmen threw in the clutch of the powerful ma chinery and in a few minutes the ponderous drill was drawn up. The "bailer", a 20-foot bucket, 10 In ches In diameter and with a valve in the bottom, was lowered into the hole. Tuo half-Inch steel cable to which it was attached tightened like a bow atring under the weight of several hundred pounds of wa ter and muck from the bottom of the well, but the engine droned cheerily with the load and quickly hoisted the thing to the surface. The "bailer" waa stopped at the level of the operating room in or der that the gentlemen present might see how the stuff that was coming up from the deptha of the earth looked. The surface of the mixture in the "bailer" was a seething mass of bubbles, big and lattlo. that appeared to be bursting as unseen power from the bottom of Uio container forced more to the top. A few matches were handed the News-Review represntative. with instructions to strike them and tent out the -mixture In the "bailer." He did so. and results were so spontaneous that a bad burn was narrowly averted. The water's surface continued to burn, very much as a gas Jet. until all the bubbles were gone. Almost imme diately, however, other bubbles be gan to appear, and soon another match was applied, and the burn ing process went on as at first. This was continued for upward of ten minutes, when the "bailer" was dumped and sent down for another quantity. Four times this thing was repealed, and In each Instance tne surface of the stuff in the "bailer" was a seething mas of bubbles, and the burning process waa tried out with enure success. Itt Natural Gas While there is somo oil In the hole at Leeper Dome, the quantity is not sufficient to burn, because it is mixed with the ate rand pulver ized rock that comes up in the "bailer." But somewhere down in the depths of that well the drill has probably opened up a gas chamber, and that theory alone ex-' plains why those bubbles form on the surface of the water in the "bailer." Every one of them is a miniature jras tank. The only way this gas has of freeln itself from the water and muck is through the bubble process. These bubbles explode as they resch the surfnee, so when tho match Is applied they flash up Just as does the manufac tured sort that many housewives use in their kitchen ranees. There appears to be a lot of this gas coming to the surface, but how ex tensive It msy prove to be Is a mat ters for future determination. Hut ;as is there right now. Soms Oil, Too. Every time the "bailer" comes up It brines oil. This commodity is plainly in evidence to even the un practlced eye. As the water and pulverised rock Is released from the "bailer," the oil quickly separates Itself from the other liquid and runs in streaks by itself. It is In suffi- d?nt quantities so that It quickly forms a thin, "r.cunillke" sub stance over the surface of little j pools along the ditch Into which it I is dumped, ami when this substance I Is disturbed and separated. It im I mediately runs together again. Identlcslly as most of us have seen oil do that has gotten into barrels lor palls of water. (Quantities 0f this oil. water and pulverlied rock have repeatedly been tested out by addition of chloroform and the oil is thus Iminedlstely detected. Straus Encountered At a depth of approximately 650 feet tha drill found hard sandstone and lime formation, and after S2 feet of tills sort of work broke through into a soft shale deposit that proved to be about S feet thick. It was In this formation that the gas was discovered. Thurs day evening the first Intimation of (aa was had. and tho operators ooa duKovarad that they bad open- IL PROSPECT ed ud a chamber that was supply ing a lot of natural gaa. The drill waa kept going until sandstone was found ax tun. and ia at present work-, ling in the hard rock below the soft shale, where the gaa was discov ered. ; Just "Sawing Wood." 1 The men backing this experi mental oil drilling proposition are i not exploiting their discovery. They have taken the auccesses met with calmly, and instead of shutting down and starting in a frenzied sale of stock, have just kept on the job "sawing wood" and further develop ing the find. Indications are so flat tering tliat success appears to them as assured. They have In no wise tried to hoodwink any persons Into subscribing for stock. The several men officering the company have stood a great deal of the expense Incidental to the development of the prospect, and are still devoting their time without compensation to the ultimate goal of bringing in a producer. There is no preferred stock, no promotion stock, and every man stands in the same class as hia fellow subscriber to the stock offered. It this aame demonstration of gas that burns and oil that can be seen on the water coming out of the well thai was shown at Leeper Dome west of Oakland, and Suth erlin yesterday, had been made in any of the proven oil belts, there would have been a corresponding boom in oil stock and headllner stories of the riches of the oil field ; broadcasted over tbe country. The : company owns and holds leasea on 1 6SO0 acres of land in the territory j adjacent to Leeper Dome, and when i this well proves a producer as every : man Interested in It believes it will, i these holdings will be worth a lot. From a few cents an acre at this tuns prices will go to $300, (500 and even higher for leases alone: j That Is, ir oil here has the same physological effect on the human mind that it has had in Texas, Wyoming or California. The men who hold the stock of the company will be the gainers and every one participate equally per share. The company owns all its equipment, does not owe a dollar to any firm or any man, and has sufficient funds on band to prosecute, the work. The stock that has been sold was on a basis of II a share, payable one twelfve down and one twelfth monthly, in this way the company has funds coming In con stantly for carrying on the de velopment work. No announce ment has been made of any change in this policy. , In speaking of the success so far attained, W. L. Cobb, general mana ger of the company, stated yester day that his people are "jubilant over the find at the 700-foot level, and while they believe the gas might warrant an effort to com mercial the find, it Is the Intent of the management to go right on down until the oil deposits believed to exist in their locality are tapped. There will be no letting up, but with the equipment sufficiently large to go to any reasonable depth, we are going to prove to Douglas county and Oregon that oil does exlBt here commercially." If there are any Doubting Thomnses in the community who want to see water apparently burn, a trip over to the Leeper Dome oil well workings will demonstrate tho fact.
