The Safety Valve - - Letters from Statesman Readers aaWaaaawaaaBaaBamwaaiaaBaaiaiaBawwaaF BmaaaaBaBamamaaaBSBBWaaaaaWaaal Salem, Oregon, Dec. 22, 1930. The Oregon Statesman, Salem, Oregon. Dear Editor: 1 see by your paper that there Is quite a talk about oil in Ore gon. A great many, years ago, long before you or 1 were born, there was a tribe of Seneca Indians In Pennsylvania near where Titus ville now stands, who ; made a business of dipping oil off Sen eca Lake and selling It for medi cine. This business was kept up for a long time until a man by the name of E. L. Drake made up his mind that this oil came from the earth. All the assurance he had that this oil came from the earth was a little seepage which gathered on the little lake; but he decided to drill a well to lo cate this oil. In 1859 he got a little money together and in a crude way he started this work. He had many ifficulties to contend with; he had to get all the water shut out of the well, and It was hard to get the casing to do this work for his money was limited and people In general didn't have mnch confidence In his undertaking-. They refused to put up any money which would enable him to go on. Drake managed to get grocer ies from some of the stores in the little village,' and when one had furnished groceries until he became disgusted he would man age to get another grocer inter ested, but they were more in sympathy for Mr. Drake than having confidence in his well. He finally got his well drilled o a depth of 09 V feet and was successful in getting a well that produced 20 barrels of oil a day. This -was the first oil well. Drake Called Craxy Some of the people called Mr. Drake and his ideas crazy, and they said that f he ahould be caged In for his foolish ideas. Well, this did look foolish at that time but you can see how many foolish people there have been since that j time, and how many millions of dollars have been lost In drilling wells for oil and gas without getting it; and how many millions 1 have been made by drilling wells where they didn't have the show .for oil that Mr. Drake had. - Mr. Drake managed to get his well down to ISH feet. We don't get many oil wells at such a shallow depth now-a-days, but instead of starting a 4 inch hole to get 09 feet we' must start a 20 Inch hole and go to a depth anywhere from four to six or eight thousand feet. I also - noticed In your paper that there have been many wells drilled in eastern Oregon. I May This Christmas Be a Merry One . . Senator Hotel , i , j Salem, Ore " , Society Ediiort Home Wedding is Attractive Event Miss Audna Peets, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Peets became the bride of Clyde Betts of Port land at an attractive horn wed- dlnc at tiSO o'clock Christmas eve. Rev; P. W. Eriksen read tha simple wedding ceremony before 10 guests. The bride very lovely in an empire style gown of lace and georgette and wearing a corsage of pink rose and freeslas was accompanied by Mrs. Harvey Parker in . & black formal gown of reonrette. Mrs. Parker wore a corsage of roses. The bride and matron of honor met the groom and best man, ; Earl Miller ef Portland, before the fireplace which had been 'banked Into an improvised altar with ferns, roses and palms. Miss May Scroggins played the nroeessional as the wedding par ty took its place. Just before the ceremony was read Miss Freda Wilson of Portland sang. (The bride was given in marriage by her father, E. N. Peetx. Following the wedding a re ception was held before Mr. and Mrs. Betts left for a short motor trip Into the north. Mrs. E. N. Peets, and Mrs. Frank Anderson, Jr.. of Oakland, California, sis ter of the bride, presided in the dining room. Mr. and Mrs. Betts will make their home in Portland. s know something about some of these wells. They have been started with . a drilling outfit that wouldn't make a good cof fee grinder let alone a rig to drill an oil or gas well with. The money that has been spent was lost for they didn't get deep enough to test anything. Eastern Oregon has all the marks of an oil field and all the wells that' have been drilled there have been started with a drilling outfit that wasn't capa ble of drilling to any depth worth speaking about. I have been asked by an oil company to go to California to purchase a drilling outfit for them. Offer' to put up $50,000 They say that they will put up $50,000 to start with. I be lieve that this company is per fectly honest and that anybody putting their money in with them will get a run tor their money, and that every cent of the money will be spent for the drilling of the well, and furnish ing the drilling outfit, pipe, and other material necessary to drill a well. 1 find that Oregon is a little like many other places. They spend money to test any place bat in their own state. I have done drilling for a lot of Canadians that spent their money in drilling in Montana, Wyoming, Texas, and Alabama, but they wouldn't drill wells right at home because they had no confidence in their own country. These Canadians left Caaada for people in the states to de velop. They had been offered leases in some of the best oil fields In Canada but let them go to drill a lot of dry holes In the states; and they thought nothing of it. I also know people In Port land who went to Wyoming and lost several hundred thousand dollars. . They paid big money for w6rthless leases, let oil sharks work them out of a lot more money, and yet they wouldn't think of trying to de velop oil fields in their own state. 1 No Oversupply Here Tou say, better leave .the oil In the ground as there Is already an over supply. We don't see any over, supply In Oregon. If we have oil here let us get It on top of the ground and bring peo ple and money to Oregon. As you probably know oil men are very free with their money. . i Why . doesn't Oregon trust its money with Its own people? With people that Oregon knows. With people who have character and a reputation. - f Just last week there were some men from another part of th United States who asked $16,000 as a down payment on an oil .deal with an Oregon j company, and then had : the nerve . to tell the party that it - the deal went through they wanted to, give him $1,000 and they would take $1,000 apiece for themselves. The deal with the company did not go through.

Miss Martin was - complimented Monday night with a birthday and Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Earl Riggs. your money with some one who will develop it and give you a run for your money. Be assured that If you get the oil you will find a market for it, and also bring peo ple and business to Oregon. Tours very truly, A WEBFOOT. INSTALL OFFICERS OF EASTERN STi WOODBURN, Dee. 24.
