OF UNUSUAL COMMENT
Business Men Prick Up Ears
and Wonder If Marion Coun
ty Really Has Gas
The account of natural caa escap
ing troifl the . Rl?ra welit In Polk
rountr. as reported In The Statesman
yesterday, has set a number of local
business men wondering what It may
signify.
Thir curiosity is intensilied by
the fact that not so very far north,
at Amity, a prospect oil well Is be
ing put down and from which nat
ural gas is also now escaping.
"Natural zas is a nroduct of crude
oil, that is. it arises out of a deposit
of petroleum," said, an easterner yes
terday, who has had eeTeral years
of experience in oil fieldsjn eastern
states. "Natural gas is volatile and
finds its way upward through crev
ices and porous strata above the oil
pool, f ,
; Crude OU jls Baste.

reached a layer of dense rock or
shale It raiy be held In check for
ages, or uAtll the stratum is brok
en by" an yarthquake or pierced by
the iron drill of a prospector.
"When gas is found it naturally
follows thai there is a deposit of
crude oil somewhere In that region.
Dut just whefe it may be located;
bow deep below the surface it may
lie; and, if discovered, does it exist
in paying quantities! These are
questions that naturally come to us
when we are confronted by the dis
covery of natural gas, such as is now
attracting attention In Polk and
Yamhill counties.
"Several very productive oil fields
have been discovered through indi
cations less encouraging than those
on the west side of the river. I am
told that at Amity traces of petrole
um have been observed escaping, sat
urating leayes and twigs which burn
freely when touched with a lighted
match. That cetrainly is encourag
ing. Oil Trace Are Found.
"It may be of interest to know that
it was surface indications that led
to the discovery of - the great oil
fields in Mexico. . Oil had been com
ing to the surface down there even
before Columbus discovered America.
"Not so many years ago several
nervy American prospectors, for oil
wanted to find out the significance
of these oil exudations. They drilled
down to find out. And they did find
out.
. "The industrial world now stands
amazed at the enormous output of
the oil wells In, the Mexican field.
One well they call Cerro Axual No.
4 la the biggest producer of oil that
baa ever been discovered. When the
drill
punctured the oil pool at a depth of
1752 feet. The rush of oil and gas
was so terrific that the derrick was
blown awar. the iron drill, weighing
two tons, was thrown high into the

Echo of the convention held here
recently to organize the United Lan
and Labor party is contaiced in a
dispatch received from Non-Partisan
headquarters at St. Paul to the ef
fect that organizers of that body '
come to Oregon next June to "fitr-l
ther the Interests" of the farmers of
this state.
J. C. Dortnan. a worker in the
league, was in Portland this week
from the east, and will assist in the
campaign.
"Uormand declared that the pro
gram of the United Land and Labor
party of Oregon was even more prac
tical than that of the league in
North Dakota," said Mr. Coulter of
Portland.
The executive board of the United
Land and Labor party of Oregon will
meet Saturday to lay plans for work
lng out the program planned by the
convention at Salem, according to
Coulter. No move will be made to
place candidates in, the field this
year, Coulter said, but immediate
steps will be taken to get at least
two measures before the people
These would provide for the initia
tive and referendum applying to the
primaries and for a scheme of voting
by mail.
o ftractors must be allowed this state
to permit its steady growth and development.
The Ford Motor company insist,
however that on the receipt of the
tractors they must be delivered, im
mediately and the Oregon agents
have gone on record that they will
do this.
With the wonderful soil and cli
mate of the Willamette valley and
the national advertising now being
done we can at least feel that Oregon
Is coming into its own. Land values
are steadily increasing, because o:
the wonderful opportunities in farm
ing and the growing demand for Or-
ornn nrnrlnrt Pnwpr firmlnr had
was -sen down in that well It golTed tfB question of our -great
state, and evidently the Ford Motor
company has caught the vision of the
future of this state and is doing then-
part to materialize that vision.
