PAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY, 4PRII 7, 1922. TALK OF OIL A! GAS AGAIN RiFE IN POLK GOUTY By Charles B. Hodgkin. ballaa, Or., April 7. Marty peo pie of the influential class In tbii county are laboring ' under thi firm belief tbat mere Is plenty ot oil, and gas under the ground in Dallas, and aeVhey evidently have some good reason for their hellei they naturally think that the mat ter should have mors attentloi than it is receiving. . This belief exists in face of In fact that so-called governuien geologists have pronounced against the existence of oil 1j Quantities that would pay to pro duce it. There is seemingly no doubt as to the existence of oil. Ii has been discovered in a numbei of wells, and those who express a familiarity with conditions de dare that it would not be diffi cult to drill and secure enough natural gas to heat and light ev ery house In Dallas and also foi cooking purposes. , t. It is a long story that accountt for the failure to develop this ter ritory for either, gas or oil, - In t nutshell It Is claimed that exist Ing oil producers ure so powettu that it has proved an Impossibility to interest capital to any extent tc exploit the production and some Dallas people, some of them using gas from wells dug for water, have not sufficient confidence In the field, in the face of the geolog ical report, to back up their be lief in the existence ot this valu able product wlla their own capi tal.. ' A couple ot drills have beet, put down over 2000 feet and in both instances gas was encounter ed, and In one instance a consider able supply was found, but not in a sufficient quantity to warrant i belng classed as a find. Many 01 those who were interested In tlu drilling operations were ot tht opinion that could they have gum down a tew hundred I at deepe. they would have struck oil In pay ing quantities. The present situation seems tc be one that needs attention. Ii there Is cheap fuel in Dallas II should be developed. It would be the means of building a big fan -tory town where DbIIhb stands. It would make every acre of land in Polk county more valuable be cause the building of such a town would furnish employment to po tential users of farm products. The people Interested desire facts con cerning the presence of oil and gas. If the tacts as received should warrant the outcome the adverse report of the government geologist could be removed and 11 would be possible to Interest men with capital to at least secure tht development ot what is claimed ti be certainly here. , , ASKS RADIO PLANT FOR r BOURBON NOMINATION Dallas, Or., April 7.

MOTORISTS FAIL TO HEED SIGNALS Signal bells and ''wig-wag' jlgnals at grade crossings com mand but little respect from the average motorist, according to T. A. Kaffety, chief of the state traf- rlc squad. In a test conducted at the East Alia street crossing In Pendleton jn February 11 only two out of a total of 30 automobiles using the crossing during the 43-mlnute period, came to, a complete stop as he law requires when approach ing a crossing with a warning bel mi "wig-wag" in operation. Nine ithers slowed their automobiles down to a speed of 15 miles as is 'equlred in approaching any grade crossing whether protected by slg uals or not. The other 19 "hit 'er lp" over the crossings at speeds varrying from 20 o 80 miles per hour with the bell and "wig-wag in operation during the entire test period. In a letter which Raffety Is (ending out to the members of the tate state squad particular atten tion is called to this appartent lisregard on the part ot motorists or warning signals at railroad Tosslngs and for the state laws overing the use of grade cross ings. Kaffety lays stress upon the point that the state traffic regula- lons require all motorists to bring heir machines down to a speed ot not to exceed 15 miles an hour 'ora di stance ot 150 feet from a ;rude crossing, Non-observance jf this provision, he points out, 1 a direct violation ot the law and a punishable by the courts.
