DECEMBER 23, 1922 ST.PiJLWB.1 Company Officials 'Certain Paying Deposits of Oil Will be Found The Willamette Valley Gas & Oil company -well at St. Paul la at rest for the present, until full ar rangements pre made to "bring in" the well with the big oil flow that the drillers are supremely ' confident la there waiting for fheni to tap. The eight-inch casing Is now . .dowa.80 feet, and Li. held there pending the securing of more pipe. Below this depth the" drill en countered a strong flow of salt water, and other Plain water. So strong Is this water pressure that the water rises to within about 30 feet of the top of the bore, strong enough that it would tax any pump capacity to lower the level materially. They plan to add more casing on top of that already In the hole, and low er it all down to a permanent bot- 1 torn, the depth the open hole has f now reached, 1006 feet., With ' liquid cement poured In around r the outside of the casing they will j seal off the water and leave the y present eight-Inch.' hole free, of all possible water Intrusion. Then a six-inch, pipe c&k pV'ftelT Jngide "tho present casing' go on down t3F CHRISTMAS IN have gotten Into the real oil de posits. Only a "gusher" with a pres sure greater than the weight of the whole 1000-foot column of water, would produce oil until the casing is lowered and the wa ter sealed off. So the company shut down the work, with the first showing of oil last week, and is now getting ready to han dle the next discovery in a business-like way". It Is understood that the com pany, while convinced that - the hfo tVllnf. la 4nof nYlnn A nf AtYl Is still in want of money tocom-!lnree attractive menus for a Christmas Dinner and how to THE KITCHEN li s to the oil. They do; not . expect to find other water,' now that they JheCOFFBEj that is . i insrKient J fc 4sr plete the casing and other neces sary safety work before drilling farther, and is to rell a small quantity of stock at the old par value. . Following the Insistence of some'of their men who have bad wide experience in oil circles In other states, the company is pre paring for storage pools for the oil that is expected. A gusher, la freely predicted by the more san guine operators, which would re-' quire instant storage or else heavy loss. So firmly do these' men believe that the conditions warrant the belief of a flowing Well that they will not again start the drill until they have: provid ed adequate storage for at least a small flowing welL . Some of these wells shoot the ponderous tools out- of the 1 000-foot -or even 2000-fott holes, and discharge oil faster than the Whole Salem waterworks could , pump .water. : "If this showing -wete in Texas,-miles and miles away from any present proven oil field, there would be a stampede like a drove of wild buffaloes,", said W. H. Prepare Them It, is a fortunate thing that Christmas, the brightest of all the festivals, comes at the dark est period of the year. Kven when the days are at their short est and the weather at Its drear iest, we have Cnristmas to think of and prepare for. tin and a. j little fine- cut citron. Then take half a pound of . suet cut up and stir to a cream. Add this to the (other mixture. Then add spices, cinnamon and cloves. a tablespoohful of each. A hall teacupful of cider follows and last of all the whites of four Though Christmas Is a festival egs beaten stiff. A small sized shared in by1 all the Christian cations of the world, yet each nation has developed its own spe cial celebration Christmas as we now'itJ may almost be said to . hare developed since Dickens wrote the. beautiful "Christmas enameled ware dishpan will be found most useful for mixing thi pudding. It should be carefully tied in a cloth and boiled for six hours in a preserving kettle. This pudding is very good when cold and cut into slices and fried. Cover with a plain pastry crust and bake. With this chicken- pie serve cranberry sauce pre pared as with the- sucking pig. A very nice vegetable to go with the chicken-pie is cauliflower. IT that is not available canned corn is also good. For dessert try a Norwegian prune pudding. Pick over and wash one-half pound of prunes. Soak them in cold water for an hour. Then cook in a saucepan until soft. Separate the prunes from the stones. Crack the stones and take out the meat; add theee meats to the prunes. Then add one cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of cinnamoa, two cups of boiling water and cook all together for ten minutes. Then take one-third of a cup of cornstarch, add cold water to this until it is a thin batter, add to the prune mixture- and cook five minutes. Pour all in to mould and out away in a cold place for several hours This is good made the day be fore. Serve with cream. Now here is a simple but ex- ellent meal, and, ended off wUh black coffee, no one need ask for a better to give them at truly- Merry Christmas. Carol."

If the housewife has an enameled ware soup kettle which she keeps duly going with all the odds and ends and left-overs, she "has a foundation for her clear soup. To a quart of this soup Btock, strained out, add one pound of soup meat cut in small pieces. Cook for two or three hours Set off and when cold skim. Re heat and settle with the white of an egg, as one would coffee. Set aside and heat when needed. For the roast have the Christ mas goose of English tradition The goose is a noble bird, im posing in appearance and most excellent In flavor. Many house wives, however, fear to try goose as it is not easily roasted. It needs much basting for one thing and a rather slow oven. If, how ever, the hostess owns an enam eled ware roaster Bhe need have no misgivings. These roasters are self-basting and the arrange ments for ventilating allow the goose to cook as slowly or as fast as is needed. The goose must have apple sauce as Its accompaniment. Ap pie. sauce when properly made can. be appetizing. The apples should not be pared and sliced until iU8t when they are to be cooked. Put In an enameled ware saucepan with just enough water to keep from burning and cook quickly; add sugar Just be fore removing from the fire, also a dasn. of lemon Juice if the ap ples are not sour. Cooked in this way the apple sauce win De golden amber as the enameled ware will not darken the irun Onions and boiled rice go well with the rich roast goose. A fruit salad is a refreshing next course Canned pineapple covered with a layer of sliced bananas, wun a spoonful of whipped cream on top is a very ood saiaa ana easily prepared. For dessert, of course, comes the plum pudding. No longer can the pudding enter in aglory of blazing brandy to the awe ana amazement of youthful guests, but It, can still wear its sprig of holly and be as aencious a ever. Here is an old English rnla for the genuine article, Take half a pound of staie bread crumbs, one cup o hot milk. Soal: the crumbs- in tne milk and let It stand until cold Then add one-quarter of a pound of sugar, the beaten folks of our eggs, half a pound of raisins one-quarter, of a pound of cur rants, the same of tigs .chopped Three Attractive Menus for Christmas Dinner Dickens' Christmas Dinner Oysters on the Hlf Shell Clear Soup Koast Goose with Apple 8ne Onions Boiled Rice Fruit Salad Plum Padding Coffee Frnit American Christmas Dinner Cams on the HU Shell Clear Soap Boast Shckini Pig wit Cranberry Jelly 8weet Potatoes Onion Mock Mines Pie .

Surprise Servo Itoast Sucking Pig Another orthodox menu has for its central point a roast sucking pig. As this is a very rich dish begin with raw clains, al ways a good appetizer, then a clear soup as before; small por tions in cups will be ample; Then, the pig. Don't try to cook it unless you have an enameled ware roaster, as it is no easy task to cook a sucking pig. With the roaster, however, there is no .. trouble at all. The per fectly basted pig will emerge the beautiful golden brown it should be, and may be borne proudly to the table with a lemon in its mouth! The fat of the pig demands an . acid and nothing nicer than our pretty, wholesome, red cran berries. Cooked in an enameled ware saucepan which will not darken their color, they may be served with the pig either as sauce or jelly. They tell us. In the South that sucking pig and sweet potatoes go together, and they ought to know.. Onions are also a good addition. After Rurh a heartv meat course a string beati salad comes in well Housewives in the country will find . the canned string beans verv srood. Serve with a fruit dressing. The most orthodox dessert after plum pudding for Christ mas is mince pie, but the old' fashioned mince pies are so for midable. Bought mince meat canned is good and baked 'With a ti ire home-made crust is as nice a pie as on need have There is. however a rule tor BO-called mock mince pie which makes a pie not so rich and therefore better after such a re past. Take four good sized soda crackers,, roll them out, add one and one-half cups of sugar, one; cup of molasses, the juice of half i lemon, one cup of raisins ; chopped,' one-halt cup of dates chopped, one-half cup of butter, two eggs well beaten and spice to taste. Bake in enameled ware pie plates in a fairly quick oven. Now we have had two quite full and elaborate Christmas din ners but there are families who are not large enough ' to make such menus very practical nor are their purses long enough to make that kind of dinner very reasonable, so let us see wnai we can find that is also entirely correct for Christmas and yet within the reach of modest means. A Christinas Dinner for Small Family t, First get a quart of small oys ters.- Take a pint or mem " make an ovster stew. With the help of an enameled ware double boiler there will he no trouble with this, for there will no danger of the milk curdling. Buy an old fowl or hen. inese are cheaper man mu " fowls and quite as good in flavor. Cut it nr as for a fricassee, rut on the fire in an enameled ware saucepan and cook slowly until tender. Have ready a ramci shallow enameled ware riisTi. Put in the chicken ana add the other pint of oysters.

I am going to try to introduce industry out there and see if this will not help to cut the present state tax bill of 9.- 500,000. "Senator Patterson claimed that a cut of a million dollars a year could be made. 1 believe it can. There are some things that we can't reduce appreciably, like the primary schools, the roads, and even higher education. But we might redistribute the load. Min nesota, with two and one-half times as great valuation, still pays only one-sixth as much Btate tax as Oregon; but they tax a kind of natural Resources like their iron ore, that we have kind ly let go free while we stick the burden on the land Mr. Pierce told of now having 270 cattle fattening on grain. A buyer recently offered him $3.75 per 100 pounds for the choice of the herd. He said that every -cattle man in Oregon will soon see the receiver coming around the corner unless there is a change in cattle conditions. Mr. Pierce spoke feelingly of the practical communism ot land, when the taxes wipe out the land values and destroy the incentive or the possibility of owning homes. "We are ail of Nordic descent, and the hope and the need of homes of our own are part of our being.

He pledged his personal J support to the new governor in the matter of helping to lower or redistribute taxes and make the Oregon farmer prosperous i-noush to make the whole coun try prosper. President Bohrnstedt presented the matter of securing farmer representation on the national J Federal Reserve banks, and asked that the Realtors and the Cham ber of Commerce of Salem write to the Oregon delegation in con gress to demand such representa tion.

Penitentiary Pay Governor-elect Pierce, a guest of the Marion County Realtors whom he addressed as "fellow farmers,' delivered a heart-to-heart talk on state government at the weekly luncheon at the Mar ion Thursday noon. j Do yoM know that Oregon pays the heaviest tax rate ot all states la. the -'Union?" he said. "It to growing steadily until, taking the state over, the taxes are one-half the rental value of the farm land. Twenty years ago taxes were about 20 per cent of the rental value. Twenty years ago it took about 2 per cent of the crops to pay the state taxes; now it takes 4 5 per cent for the same purpose, we nave an gone crazy on taxes, every kind of unit school, city, state. "It is my problem to try and help reduce state tax costs. As 1 looked at the army ot employes coming out of the state house and thought of the other armies em ployed by the state in otber cities or places, I began to realize what a load of service we have built up for the state to pay for. Can we reform, or change to an easier scale? I shall want your friend ship, your advice, your coopera tion in the work ahead. Tax re form is a delicate surgical oper ation, and not a job for the heavy-handed butcher. He might kill the patient. "I have understood that the state of Minnesota claims to have made its penitentiary pay tor its own way; so is this claimed for Indiana,, and for Kansas. I am pl4jCurjther that in Kansas at least thin aDnarent saving is a matter . ot clever bookkeeping. Our own penitentiary costs us S400, 000. Maybe we can'frun it for less.
