OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 1G, 1921 BE OIL CENTER New Wells Are Opened and Flow Reported Constant ly on Increase ENGLAND SEEKING HOLO America Lags Behind Rush To Gain Foothold in 'Big Productive Region, BUENOS AIItES, May 6. Ex perts In oil production say that, as a result of the rich discoveries of oil in the Coniodore Rivadavia ifeld, Argentina may become one of the world's creat sources of fuel. Th4 well No. 12$. which came in on February 28 with an initial production of shout 1200 barrels an hour. Is continuing to flow at approximately the same amount. The Comodoro Rivadavia oil producing area Is located in the territory of Chubut, In the region called Patagonia, and Is more than COO miles southwest of Bue noa Aires. It was discovered in liOT wW deep test vu being made in an effort to locate a water supply. The government, exercising its ownership of mine ral rights, set aside 12.500 acres of land in the district and be gan the work of exploiting tb field. Later. another 12.10U acres was reserved. I lrudurtlofi acreage. I Since that time 128 wells have J been sunk and production lias i gradually Increased up to the i present. In 1920 the total pro duction was more than l.OOO.ooo barrels. The oil Is heavy with small kerosene and gasoline con tent and is used principally as fuel oil, being sold to a number of industries in the country. Drilling depths are between 1S00 and 1X00 feet. Until well No. 12S was brought in, all the wells had shown small production, although several of them were gushers and had an initial production that passed the 1000-barrel mark. Practically every well drilled found oil in paying quantities. Kallnind Make Contracts. Outsldo or the government's reserved areas there Is some pro duction by private companies. Several Argenaine railroads that plan to burn oil instead of wood or coal, recently made a contract with one of these companies and have undertaken an extensive campaign of explorations. The completion of the big well has served to call attention once more to the other districts of Argentina that are ranked as fa vorable for oil production. An American oil engineer who is familiar with prospects from the northern border of the country TTT teTIerra"del Fuego, told the cor respondent that he looked for Ar gentina to develop into one of the producing centers of the world, lie regards a especially favorable come sections of Jujuy. Mendoza, Xeuquen and Santa Cms. Foreign AgrnHt-M Work. Whether these prove to be pro ducing areas or not. tt is known that English and American com panies, together with companies rep-resenting other nations, ne actively at work, trying to get a foothold in jhT country. "At the present time," said an authority, "English Interests are much Miore largely represented in Argentina than American. For several years they have bien quietly scouting and studying the country. I look for Argentina It bin the next few years to be come a large oil producing reg ion. American companies should not hold back because they are content to find Argentina's best oil lands in the hands of the Iiritish If the country is proved to be an oil reservoir."

Always a patient faced coolie padded along between the shafts. But the jinricksha of the Nanking Road, Shanghai, the Bund at Hongkong, and the pleasure places of all the Chinese cities of today, is a very differ ent vehicle. Mostly it is up holstered in leather, rubber tired, soft cushioned and deli cately lacquered, with a one man top and every comfort provided. And made in America! Ball bearings and better roads, to say nothing of better fees from the constantly increasing tourists, make the lot of the jinrickshaman a, vast improve ment over the old days. He prefers the American made 'ricksha just as he prefers the 'American passenger. Both are easy. COBLENZ PEOPLE LIKE DOUGHBOYS They Would Be Sorry to See Them Leave, and Places Taken by Poilus COBLENZ, May 2. The Ger mans of Coblenz have been specu lating with deep interest on the possible effect of the Knox reso lution in congress declaring that a state of war no longer exists between America and tiermany. Whether the adoption of that resolution would cause the with irawal of the American forces in Germany has been the main sub ject of discussion in the German press of the occupied territories. The correspondent, after inter viewing; the iriost representative Germans of all classes in Co blenz, can say that to- the major ity of Germans here, the with drawal of the Americans would be regarded as regrettable. In administrative and political circles they have been living in dire fear of the French taking over the area which would be abandoned by the Americana. "If we must have occupation let It be America," is the consensus of opinion. Among tradesmen and shop keepers the feeling of , regret would be unanimous. "The tailor next doer has become a million aire," said the book store proprie tor with mingled feelings of ad miration and envy, to the corre spondent. "That book store man is sure reaping a paper mark har vest," was1 the way the tailor put :t. There is only one class of the population which looks upon the presence of the American sold iers darkly.

F UK TO USE WATER POWERS Machinery of Entire Nation Is to Be Run by Elec tric Motors PARIS, April 19. Plans now in course of preparation by the French government contemplate the development of a yearly aver age of 4,000.000 horse-power by 1934 through the utilization of the rivers of the country for the manufacture of electricity. The creation of energy for the electrification of the railways and the big industries of France has received tremendous impetus since the armistice. Reports Just com pleted show that within the last three years 450,000,000 francs have been invested in 49 power plants throughout France by French investors. The recent visit of President Millerand to the valley of the Rhone revived interest in the fa mous Rhode water power pro ject.

The fthone project,, as it is known ia EuroDe. is one of the developments ever conceived and involves ithe expenditure of 3.- 000.000.000 francs. No fewer than 20 lesser projects have been launched in France but the Rhone is further advanced than the others. It has been estimated that the Rhone scheme, together with the other big projects, would affect an annual saving of 5,000,000 tons of cbal, thus dlvertlnr this to other purposes and materially re- mm&& THAT NEVER HAPPEN duclng the Importation of coal by France. !J The Rhone plan would have navigable between 400 and COO kilometers of that river, would reclaim 650,000 acres of ground now useless, and probably place at the door of Palis electricity at a price within the reach of every one. The government plans to make the Rhone, as well uh all the other projects, a "creation of the peo ple" through the 'issuance of 6 per cent non-taxable bonds, the proceed to be used In construc tion, but because of the financial burden on the French tr, the actual construction in begin for several years. r " The majority of the plait' I hydro-electric development cern the rivers Rhone, Oir "Do you guarantee result, ; caller.
