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. Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front
of Miller's Dept. Store.
There will be cakes, cookies and
breads for sale, with Mrs. Roy
Casebeer and Mrs. Robert Davis
in charge. All members of the
guild are asked to have food at
the parish house before 10 Satur
day morning. Anyone wishing more
information may contact Mrs.
Casebeer at OR 2-4225 or Mrs.
Davis at OR 3-8818.
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."
