This question was answered at the time America declared war in an Indictment of German policy by G. E.

"He has set the torch of incendiary to our factories, our workshops, our ships and our wharves. "He has laid, the bomb of the assassin in our munition plants and the holds of our ships.

"He seeks to terrorize us with his devilish policy of frightfulness. "He has violated every canon of international decency and set ul naught every solemn treaty and every precept of international law. "Ho has plunged the world into the maddest orgy of blood, rapine and murder which history records. "Ho has intrigued against our peace at home and abroad. "Ho seeks to destroy our civilization.

Write a Letter for the People's Forum. Make it Brief and Pointed. For Economy's Sake Buy Advertised Goods! In these days of increasing prices we some times hear this argument advanced: "If 'So-nnd-So' didn't spend so much money for advertising they could sell cheaper," No argument could bo farther from tho truth. Advertising means more sales at a lower cost, which in turn makes possible a low er selling price. You can easily see why this is true. Any thing which enables a manufacturer or a merchant to sell larg er quantities of a certain article makes it possible for him to buy materials in larger quantities and at a less cost it also en ables him to cut costs in every procoas of ltia business and ho can SELL FOR LESS. Take a pair of shoes for example. The little manufacturer with an output of fit) pairs a day, who buys leather two or three rolls at a time, and bis findings in proportion, could not possibly sell as cheap, for the snniu quality, as if ho were making 5000 pairs a day. Tho cost of the advertising to create demand is more than absorbed by the saving in quantity buying ami big production. Apply the same thing to the local merchant. It costs him the rmmo amount for heat, for light, for rent and for clerk hire wbethor his clerks are "standing around" two thirds of the day or if they are busy every minute of tho time. His expenses are the same in either case. Rut if ho advertises ami brings moro people to tho store, so his .clerks are busy all tho time, it in vory obvious that they will sell moro goods, bo able to buy in larger quantities and his profits will be many times greater. HE CAN THEREFORE AFFORD TO SELL FOR LESS. Advertising lowers selling cost for both the manufacturer and tho merchant. In those war times when econ omy is a patriotic duty, it is Bafo to assume that your money will go further by buying advertised and branded merchandise from tho merchant who also advertises. The Malheur Enterprise Phono 42 Vale, Oreg. OFFICIAL PAPER as they arc accustomed to (in the VALE OIL FIELD Boise Paper Describes' Activities of Western Pacific Cmpany in De veloping Vale Oil Field. Vale, July 28. Tho Western Pacific Oil & Gas company's second well is now down where the 38-foot stratum of oil -sand will probably be reached this week. Tho prospect is excellent for the bringing in of a good oil dem onstration well when tho 307-foot dep'th is reached. The 38-foot oil sand stratum is at tho 307-foot depth. Should this stratum prove insufficient for a real oil demonstration well, then the company will employ a day and night crew to drill to a depth of be tween 800 and 000 feet where the 110 foot oil sand stratum will be encount ered. This depth can be reached with a double crew of men within about 10 days. Those in charge of this well have absolute confidence of bringing in a successful oil well when the 110-foot oil sand stratum is reached. What First Well Shows. The company's second oil well is be ing drilled just eight feet away from the first hole which was put down close to 700 feet. The log of the first hole shows that at 108 feet there were considerable indications of peacock co lorings of oil, which grew stronger to 210 feet when a shallow sand stratum prolific with gas and some oil was en countered. The drill struck water at 240 feet, and at 307 feet the 38-foot oil sand stratum was encountered. Tho driller in charge at that time went down to 339 feet before casing off the water. It has since been learn ed he made a serious mistake in not casing off the water before going through this 38 feet of oil sand. Had 'io cased tho water off sooner the pro babilities arc a good demonstration oil well would have been brought in at the 307-foot depth. A Valuable Lesson. Having learned a vnluable lesson frm the mistakes made in the first hole, tho company is having tho water in the second well cased off at 250 feet, which is tho present depth of the second well. Tho drillers of this well have been drilling from 40 to 50 feet a day. The water is just cased off and it is believed the 307-foot depth whero is found the 38 feet of oil sand, will be reached this week. In the first well a strong showing of oil was reached at 517 feet. From there on down there was found inter mittently brown and blue shale with jas and oil growing increasingly itronger. At 015 feet 'the then chief driller jtarted to set the casing. At this Juncturo 38 feet of tho casing got away and was smashed up to such an ?xtent that after four weeks of dili gent effort to remove it and get the hole cleared, it was realized it would be cheaper to abandon the old hole and lrill a new well alongside of it. The wisdom of this action is al ready proven. In just four nnd one- half days of actual drilling the new well was drilled to its present depth jf 250 feet. When tho casing was pulled out ?rom tho old well a veritable fog of, gas raised up from the well. When baling out tho water in the new well just before casing off the water, there were strong indications of gas and oil. A Trip To The Oil Field.. A Capital News representative was '.nken to tho place wliere ihe Western Pacific Oil & Gas company is drilling for oil nnd was shown portions of the vast terilory this company has undei iron clad lease, by W. D. Meyer, the efficient manager of tho company. It is eight and one-half miles south west of Vale where the big 75-foot standard derrick is stationed. Ono is t once impressed witfi the size and lability of the big derrick and with tho completeness of tho oil well equip ment tho company owns. It would .ost $30,000 to replace the tools, cas ing, etc., the company now has at the well. With the present derrick anu tools it is possible to drill a well 5000 feet deop. Among the equipment the company owns nnd lias at tho well arc: Three complete strings of tools, all parts in duplicate, making in reality six complete strings of tools; 3200 feet of special heavy California cas ing; 1500 feet of heavy mnnilln cable mil 2000 feet of steel cnble. Com plete blacksmith shoji, inus being pre pared to make own tools at will and to repair any breaks without loss of time. A 50-horsepowcr stationary boiler and 25-horsepower engine for operating tho great drills. A porta ble 11-horscpower boiler and 10-horso-power cngino with which to pump oil when the well 'is brougnt in. Five complete strings of fish'mg tools for fishing out tools or casing from the well. The company tins everything com plete to bring in the oil field here without the need of buying nny more tools, Tho Sanitary Camp. A fino featuro is the sanitary camp at tho well, which was provided by the company. This consists of a bunk house for tho men employed at the well; a dining hall with separate looms as a residence for tho cook; a big root cellar costing $150, contain ing a specially built Alaska refriger ator, and a shower bath. These employed hero are; Charles Rosgrovo, head driller; Bert High, tool dresser and mechanic; Frank Holman, tool dresser and mechanic; Allen Mc Fndden, general utility man; Mrs. Ma McFadden, cook; a word of com mendation is duo Mrs. McFndden for keeping the kitchen and dining room clean nnd sanitary, and for the excel lence of her cooking. Special mention may be mude of J. D, JJiJes who discovered this o field THE MALHEUR ENTERPRISE 16 years ago. Mr. Miles has located a 320 acre homestead two miles from the big derrick nnd continues to make his home there. Mr. Miles was em ployed by. the Western Pacific Oil & Gas company to build the big derrick, set up the boiler, build the camp, etc. In talking with Mr. Miles, who is an expert mining man, he gave expres sion to his utmost confidence in the men composing tho Western Pacific Oil & Gas company, and in his belief that the company will succeed in bringing in nn oil well in .the very near future. Twenty-two Gas Blowouts. The big derrick is surrounded by 22 distinct gas blowouts. There are 22 hills here caused by gas upheavals. The biggest of these hills has raised four feet in the last eight years. The top of each of the 22 hills looks much as though moles had raised it. The sand on these hills when rubbed be tween the hands, is fine and soft as flour. The sand is very light in color, excepting where the gas came through and discolored it. These 22 hills or gas blowouts are of deop interest and significance. It is plain to see that they are not made hills in the ordinary sense. That they were raised up by extraordinary gas pressure from below is very evident. Great Oil Sand Exposure. After looking over the company's complete drilling equipment and watching the drillers at work, the trip was continued to a place in Sand Hol low about two miles on a straight line from the big derrick. Here is found what oil experts slate Is the greatest exposure of the finest oil bearing sand on the American continent. This stra turn of oil bearing sana is 110 feet thick. Experts have surveyed this great sand stratum for tho Western Pacific Oil & Gas company. The stra tum dips down and extends beyond where the company's derrick is locat cd. It is figured this 110-foot oil sand stratum will be struck by the drillers of tho present well at a depth of 840 feet. When this stratum is struck the company is confident a veritable oil gusher will be brought in. This 110-foot oil bearing sand expo sure was studied with some care. It is classified by geologists as Trenton sand. Oil extracted from this sand has a paraffin base, which carries more gasoline and more lubricating oil than iny other oil sand known to science. The value of this class of oil may bet ter be realized when known that a five-barrel oil well here is worth as much as a 50-barrel well in other classes of oil sands. Was Once Bed Of The Sea. The surface exposure of oil bearing sand here is truly extraordinary. It is evident that at some time in the ages past a tremendous pressure of gas lifted this great stratum up from what was once the bed of the sea. This sand stratum has vast deposits of sea shells, literally millions of these shells, which completely prove this was once a sea bed. The extraordinary amount of animal matter once contained in these shells gives to trie oil extracted from this sand stratum its organic or paraffin base. Manager Meyer carried with him a hand-pick. With this shallow holes were picked in the exposed oil bearing sand. The smell of oil at these holes was very plain) and the holes showed evidences of oil moisture at a depth of only three or four inches. When it is considered that this sand has been ex posed for centuries to the elements sun, rain, wind it requires no partic ular knowledge to be able to perceive that this sand stratum is constantly fed by a body or bodies of oil that is comparatively close at hand. Another Great Exposure. From this exposure of oil bearing sand the trip was continued to anoth er place in Sand Hollow about a mile away at a point whero the crock makes quite a bend. Here is found mother oil bearing sand stratum of wonderful proportions, 'lhls said stra tum is 38 feet in thickness. Tho ex posure here is about one mile from the big derrick. Tho stratum is on a straight lirio with the derrick, and dips in that direction. It is this sand stra tum that the drillers will encounter at a depth of 307 feet. It is confi dently believed a good oil demonstra tion will bo brought m, when this stratum is reached. In this oil bearing sand exposure small holes were picked, and tho smell of oil is just as pronounced as at the UO-foot strntum. Tho 38-foot sand exposure, in addition to having mil lions and millions of sea shells, also has innumerable little holes which wcro caused by gas pressure through the stratum. Government Bulletin. Tho government geological survey devotes 28 pages to trie oil bcaring- sand and sand stone in this district. Government bulletin No. 431, in sec tion 29, gives verification of oil here, In effect it states thai a light amber-t colored oil was extracted from the sand here, which proved it to have a paraffin base. There aro five separate oil bearing sand dippings or anl:-clincs in the Western Pacific Oil & Gns company's field here. Once this field is proven an oil well brought in, experts state their belief that this will bo greater than tho California oil field ever was. The Western Pacific Oil & Gas com pany is composed of tho following well known Boise business men whose in tegrity is undisputed: President, W. M. Reeves; vice president, P. M. Da vis; there, with the following, com pose the board of directors; O. H. Al len, E. W. Johnson, Willinm Gibb. W. P. Meyer is the genera manager. This company was. organized in July 1910, nnd in this first year has done a wonderful amount of work in the de velopment of the Vale oil fields. Boise Cnpltal fffws. 15?
