There are still about nine inches

has come out all right with their

NOTES FROM MAUPIN SCHOOLS
Washington's birthday was ob
served, Tuesday morning. The six
beginning grades met in Mis Boat
rack's room where class exercises
and reading recalled the life of
Washington. The seventh and
eighth room students also made a
study of Washington's life. Singing,
talks by Mr. Nagel ami Mr. Brough
; ton, and discussions of Washington
' by some of the students made up the
! program in the High school.
Every High school student was
disappointed when the Mosier High
school principal telephoned saying
that the game scheduled for Tuesday
evening would have to be postponed.
The wind on the highway at Mosier
was so strong that owners of cars
woulif not offer them to bring the
teams to Maupin.

U. S. Authority Sees Ample
Motor Fuel for Lous Future
' By HARSY H. HILL

about It. Interest lis. such, a question
at the right time. Is the best Insur

and the Federal Oil Corporation
Board hare done w'aat wus needed, at
the right time.
We know that r lost pa'.roleum has
come from rather limited areas and
that even from these only a small pro
portion has been taken out Oil pro

"the oil contained in the santts. Even
from the best pools recovery by the
old methods Is small, perhrips one

oftener oneith, or one-seventh, or
one-tenth. Ttu a. considerable part of
what still r jrnalns In the ground can

practicable
Producing -oil from' coal and shales'
and by.talTih g the cU bearing sands
is entirely pc ssible. Experiments are,lhence Is pumped out, This requires
going on in these dim Qons, and if wo
ever have to fall bacl: on these re
sources we will he read r. Pot a Ions
time, however, the preseH methods of
exploration, and drilling, ith improv
ing processes to assure la'ger recov
eries, are likely to suffice.

oil out. How to shut off the water
and permit the oil to run out Is a prob
lem with which the engineers have
long worked. They hare made great
progress and so Increased recoveries.
In earlier times most oil producers
carefully guarded all Information
about their wells and experiences, but
latterly there la co-operation In theee
matters. Geoloslsts and potroluuui
engineers, onca derided by the "prac
tical" oil men, are mors and more
accepted as guides and mentors. New
knowledge Is constantly Increasing re
coveries. As to Mining for Oil
iji, Lorraine they have dug shafts
down to the oil sands and actually
brought the sands out, like coal from
a mine. But It's costly.
Another mining process la to sink a
shaft to the oil Bands and from Its
bottom drlvo tunnels In all directions
through the sando. From these tun
nels small perforated pipes are driven
into the sands, which drain the oil
out of the sands. It flowe to larger
pipes back at the foot of the shaft and
.'nstalling an expensive plant, but In
,wrae fleldo the hlsh recovery that is
assured might Justify tho co3t. I
understand the process 's about to be
Intsalled in a few fields in this coun
try, some companies being convinced
it is practicable and profitable.
Oil can be distilled from coal, and
much work Is now bein? done
along this linn. But more appeal has
been made by the plan of extracting
'oil from shale. The shales of Scotland
have been worked for three-quarters
of a century, and they are almost un
limited In this country, richer in oil
than those of Scotland. Kentucky,
Ohio, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyo
ming and California are particularly
rich in shales. It Is just a question
of the cost of extracting the oil. Con
gress has given $180,000, with which
the Bureau has lnotalled a plant near
Rullson, Colorado, to distill oil from
the Colorado River Shales. It Is
calculated that the ehales mined at
HuJlson will produce about a barrel
,of oil to the ton,
The Usef Oil 6hals
In Scotland they are working shales
that produce about twenty-five gallono
of oil per ton. The seams are twm
three-and-a-half to eight or fnn feet
thick. In Colorado are seams many
times as thick and eontftining much
more oil per ton. Reduction of shales
involves an enormou mining opera
tion, and after the oil Is extracted the
vast tonnage of refuse must be dis
posed of. So It is expensive compared
with producing oil from wells.
Ben E. Llndscy of tha Bureau of
Mines Experiment Statin at Bartles
vill Oljla., 1 confident that explora
tion, better recoveries, bettor utiliza
tion and deeper drilling would furnish
enough oil to meet all requirements
for at least twenty-five to fifty years,
if it could be etacted in that time,

(ANOTHER CHAPTER)
It has been said that "Death ad Taxes are the
only thigs to bo sure of." That may be true, but
there is one more thing to consider before death
overtakes us, and that is preparation for our
old age to try and accumulate sufficient of this
world's goods to make us independent of char
ity, to provide a homo where our declining
years may be spent in peace and happiness.
That's where saving conies in. By constant
and consistent saving of a part of our income
during our producing days, when the evening
of life falls upon us the savings we made early
in life are the things which allow us to take life
easy until the inevitable final summons comes.
Think this over, deposit in this bank and ac
cumulate a nest egg which may be needed in
our old age. That's Safety First.
