Name Address Cupper Says State Might Well Spend Money Findiiig Potential: Oil Resources Sj-stemaUd exploration of Ore gon's potential oil resources by the sta.t with tbe view to in- creastng potential wealth . in the state and reducing the huge freight bill now paid f r oils shipped in, is advocated by Per cy Cupper, local engineer, in a statement released this week. Cuoner feels the state might well invest moneys In a planned, carefully develpped plan of test ing Oregon s oil resources, in the same way that a large, corpor ration expends- money in its re search laboratories. "Geologists are convinced that we nave on nere, saia uupper. "The process of finding ' It is too hazardous and too expensive for small operators." Cuppers statement continues: Fuel Consumption Large "We are now developing ap proximately 200,009 hydro-electric horse power in Oregon. It is interesting to note that it xe- ouires some 900,000 horse power to operate our automobiles. All this power is, of course, furnished by gasoline shipped in trom dis tant points. .The citizens of Ore gon pay for the gasoline and the freight. Our consumption oi gasoline Is approximately 160, 600000 gallons per year. The cost of this to the consumer is approximately $30,000,000. Out of this amount some $1,000,000 is returned to the state In the form of a gasoline tax. " "While some of the gas sold In Oregon is consumed by cars from outside of the state, many Oregon cars in turn secure gas outside of this state. "The 260,000 cars registered In Oregon, if using all the gas sold, would generate approximately horse power to the car, of continuous operation. Or If It Is assumed that the average car dur ing the period it is In operation requires 20 horse power, then the average ear would be in opera tion about four hours a day. Plerson Wellington J.

It would seem that Oregon might well divert some attention to . detennlnlna- whether or not there is gas available for its use within its own borders. Efforts have been made by private capital to locate oil in this state. A num ber of wells have been drilled in Malheur and -Harney counties. Soma wells have been put down In the Willamette valley and at other points west of the Cascade mountains. At Fossil a well was sunk to a depth of 2400 feet, only w. iuu inii n was on .tse -verr edge ef a possible oil bearing stra tum. This well showed signs of ou, ana in iact those Interested in it are planning to nut dawn another .well in what the geolo gists declare to be a more favor able location. Recently oil was discovered in a well which was being drilled in Bear Valley not far from Burns. By reason of this discovery there Is now consider able activity around the headwa ters of Burnt River, particularly In the vicinity of Unity. "Many of the efforts heretofore put forth to locate oil in this state have fallen short of their goal because of the lack of funds, which has caused the suspension or arming, particularly where ad verse conditions were encounter ed. It would seem that as an en couragement to this enternrise. as an advertisement for the state and as a possible source of rev enue, the state might well mske available funds for a substantial ana systematic Investigation of mis possiDie resource. Royalties to Protect Outlay "If this Investigation should so to the extent of actual drilling for oil, there would appear no good reason why the state should not be protected by royalty con tracts on the surrounding lands just as any business man would in case he expended a substantial sum of money on an oil well. This might readily produce a substan tial revenue to the Stats of Ore gon.
