Confidence Expressed Over Producing Oil Well, After Tests Appear Successful OCEAN CITY, Wash. Wl Sun shine Mining Co. officials made preparations Wednesday to sink three more wells after watching a tawny spray Tuesday mark what may be Washington's debut as the country's 31st oil state. The spray, gushing from t h e company's Sunshine-Tanner-Medina No. 1 well two miles south of this Pacific Beach resort town, settled down on a crowd of un caring spectators. Gov. Rosellini and Sunshine of ficials turned the valves which marked the start of final produc- tion tests on the well. The tests, which will take about 60 days to complete, will determine whether the well will be a commercial pro ducer, i Original estimates placed the daily oil flow from the well at 400 barrels of hish eravitv oil. worth about $3.75 to $4 a barrel. Alter luesaay s run tne estimate went down to 200 barrels a day, still twice what company officials said would be considered com mercial production. When Rosellini turned the valve to start the test, gas sprayed from the nozzle for three minutes. The gas then became mixed with oil and then pure paraffin base oil spewed from the nozzle in a steady stream. The initial flow of oil was di rected into a sand sump and then Tau Eta Eta Makes Welfare Aid Plans Welfare benefits were discussed recently by Tau Eta Eta sorority, which the club made from a suc cessful rummage sale. The welfare projects under dis cussion were to make layettes for hospitals, and aid for the Robin dale School. The members display ed greeting cards -which are be ing sold to raise welfare money. Farewell greetings were extend ed to Mrs. Harry (Lois) Harryman of Kent Creek, Dillard who has moved to Southern California. Mrs. Ernest Peel was elected treasurer to replace Mrs. Harryman. The next meeting will be Wednesday with Mrs. Dale Mode and Mrs. Elmer Scrape as hostesses for the social meeting, reports Rosa Hein-bach. the oil pipe was connected to two 500 gallon storage tanks. . "At this point it looks wonder ful," Robert M. Hardy, Sunshine's president, said as oil flowed from tne well into the tanks. Hardy said the oil was coming from a 34-foot thick layer of sand at a depth of from 3,932 to 3,966 leet. The Sunshine president said the firm has staked three additional drilling locations close to the well and is making preparations to start drilling immediately. Bert Cole, state land commis sioner, whose job it will be to make sure Washington gets its 12! per cent royalty interest on oil produced, said: "We have a producing oil well the first in our state. I am confident of this now after review ing the technical data and wit nessing today's events. I am op timistic about the role of Wash ington as the 31st oil producing state." The well was spudded in on June 19 and was drilled to its present depth on Aug. 2.

I Timber Land Tax Deferments May Be Applied For Land owners who want to take advantage of tax deferment on timber land which has been cut over have until Oct. 1 to file an application with the state forester in Salem to get thoir claim check ed for next year. About 500,000 acres in Douglas County might be eligible for the program, accord ing to sources at the Douglas For est Protective Assn. Applications and an explanation of the law are available from the state forester and will be avail able soon at the DFPA office. The deferment permits the land owner to pay 5 cents per acre each year instead of the regular tax rate to encourage growing a second crop of timber on cut-over land. When the area is logged again, the own er pays 12V4 per cent of the stump age value. Only land that has been com pletely cut and will be used to grow a new crop of timber is elig ible for the program. Once the land is classified under the pro gram, its status remains the same if it is sold, unless the land is no longer used to raise timber. The DFPA will recommend to the state forester any land it thinks might be eligible, and the state office will send applications to the owners. But owners do not need to wait and can file an application now. Land under applications will be inspected and hearings will be held in the county during January and February on the applications. Fire patrol tax levies will not be affected by the deferment.

Visit To Africa Told Kiwanis By Charles Bailey Charles Bailey .of Roseburg, a sixth grade instructor at Deer Creek Elementary School, related his experiences on a safari in British East Africa at' a Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday. "There are about as many sa faries as there are individuals," he said. He warned people who are interested in taking such a trip to start making arrangements two years in advance. Civilization is pushing big game in Africa back and the game is disappearing, he said. The game hunter told of his ex periences in shooting buffalo, rhi noceros and elephants. During the 30-day safari Bailey, his father and a guide traveled 1,800 miles in a power wagon. "Because of the Mau Mau uprisings regulations concerning weapons were tight, and it took three hours to get the rifles through customs," Bailey said. "Many of the business firms there are run by natives of India. The natives of British East Af rica are well dressed and clean. They wear shorts, some kind of a shirt and make their shoes out of tires," the hunter said. FOOD SALE SATURDAY St. George's Episcopal Guild will hold, a cooked food sale.

Jo-Jo Must Go-Co, Say Authorities1 SOUTH ORANGE, N. J. W-The long arm of the law has finally curled around Jo-Jo, a six-foot boa constrictor who has been run out of two towns in less than a week. The 6-year-old reptile has been sentenced to a lifetime stretch at the nearby Watchung Nature Mu seum. Jo-Jo first came to public no tice last week, when the board of health in Clifton ordered his own er, Abraham Kievit, to remove the animal from his home and get it out oft town. Kievit, who had raised Jo-Jo from 'infancy, reluctantly turned him over to 17-year-old Ronald Piper of South Orange. Piper, who hopes to make rep tiles his life's work, enjoyed car ing for his pet and feeding him live rats. He literally became at tached to the animal, wrapping him around his neck at times to show his affection. But the happy idyll ended when police told Piper that Jo-Jo had to go-go. The youth pleaded that it would be nine years before the snake would be strong enough to crush a man, but the law was adamant. As he took Jo-Jo to the museum, Piper sadly remarked, "I'll go to see him every lime I get a chance." Wed.
