OF
OIL ME F
Test Made at St. Paul Prom
ises Something Better in
Near Future
1
At a depth of a little more than
1000 feet the Willamette Valley
Oil & Gas company well at St.
Paul has" struck some real oil,
that is so ' Inflammable that a
small stick dipped into it will
fairly explode into flame on be
ing brought to a lighted match.
This Inflammability is unusual
in ground oils. The explanation
that J. J. Burke, the new driller
from Texas, - gives is that this is
not a main body of oil, but a
seepage or distillation into a
pocket from the main oil body, in
some way distilled under pressure
so that It Is almost like gasoline
Instead of crude petroleum.
Burke Is a new man, who came
up from Texas to superintend
some big oil prospect work in
Alaska. Coming down to the St
Paul well, through the Introduc
tion of f i lends w hii' kin v tlieult"
uatlon, "he was bo interested' that
he Is staying there to superintend
the development of the' well. The
prospect looked so good that he
asked the privilege ' of turning
two-thirds of his salary Into trea
sury oil stock at the market price,
which' is about the most real kind
of confidence there I. ' ' '
Under his direction the derrick
has been rebuilt to. give it the
capacity for. greater depth, and It
is now roofed In, so that it can
be operated whatever the .weath
er. The drill is going down stead
ily towards the stratum where the
geologists expect oil will be found
in larger quantities. This, ac
cording to the most careful calcu
lations from where the possible
oil-bearing formations occur Else
where la the Willamette valley
should "be at a depth of not far
from 1200 feet.
There is of course no guarantee
that when this oil formation is
reached there will be a gusher or
even oil in commercial Quantities
It is known, however,, that the
formation, occurring in both the
Coast and the Cascade ranges,
and extending over the geological
ly undisturbed Willamette valley
must be there.
... W. H. Sayre of the company re
cently returned from a trip to
Jsandon, Coos county, where a
small drill outfit is prospecting
for oil. The operators have not
gone deep enough to have any
definite idea what there is under
them.

TALKS MONDAY
College Professor to Tell
Whether Boys Will Go
Back to the Farm ,
"Will
is the
address
Roy H.
Athletic
at the
luncheon
Jack Come Back?"'
striking title of the
to be given by Prof.
Hewitt, of the Oregon
college. Monday ncu
Chamber of Commerce
This hypothetical
"Jack" is the young man who
goes to college, especially to a
college of industry such as the
O. A. C, and the question is
whether he will ever go back to
the farm that he left.
On the answer hangs the indus
trial and social future of the
country. If he doesn't, the lands
will have to go into the hands of
1
i
Japanese or Chinese, or any
kind of foreigner that will oper
ate them, and America will gather
jts traps into its rattly old flivver
and head off for the city, leaving
the real America In the hands of
anybody who will take it.
Professor Hewitt, whb is f the
department of comir ce at Oi A.
C, believes that Jack is preparing
himself to go back to the farm,
but that it will be a much better
farm than Dad and Grandad have
been working since Heck's coyote
ancestors were pups. He believes
that the Oregon agriculture that
is to develop through ti;e rollege
trained farmer is ze g to be a
thing of beauty and a joy forever.
