ML Ve Vernon, Or., Oct. 1, 120 Editor Gusette Times: In our Issue of Sept 23, I note that Mr. A. M. Zlnk has found natural gaa a few miles east of Ion. For a long time I have been thinking of writing to your paper to call attention of the well drillers over there to the possible existence of gas In that neighborhood. To explain thla statement It will be necessary to relate an Incident that occurred away back in the IPa when I was a boy and lived in Slxmile, about nine miles north and a little east of lone. No doubt there are others over there who will yet remember the oc curence. A I remember It the facta art as follows: Two men, Alex Graham and Milt Pip er war employed by the late Dr. E. B. Swinburne to dig a. well on some land he owned on upper Slxmile, which as I remember would be about six miles a little north of east of lone. These men had put the well down about 20 feet when one morning Piper waa In the well and started to light his pip. Oas waa Ignited and the flames filled the well and climbed higher than the wind lass where Graham stood. The latter, however, bravely remained at his post and reeled up the rope, bringing Piper to th surface. Piper was badly burn ed, as to a less extent was Graham. As I remember it, th formation exposed there Is altogether of volcanic origin. It Is not likely that gaa could originate in the formation. It la mors probable that beneath this lies a carboniferous stratum aealed In by the overlying vol canic rocks It Is quit possible that natural gaa In commercial quantities may be found It that upper stratum Is penetrated. I think It likely that W. W. Bmead ill recall th fact above narrated and perhaps remember Just where the well waa located. I used to know that country well, but I do not know Just where Mr. Zlnk's place Is, ownerships having changed so sine I was thre. ROT GLASSCOCK.

Etherldgo. As one who has handled millions of Investors money, I perhaps am In position to Bay a word of warning as to the effect of the Interest amendment that Is to be voted upon by the people of Oregon In November. This measure Is to place a constitutional limit upon the rate of interest that may be charg ed In this state. The rate is to be llm lted to 6 percont for contract money. which Includes bonds, mortgages and notes, and to 4 percent for money bor rowed without specifying the rate by contract. A large part of the funds I have handled Is that of Oregon Investors. These Inventors are conservative, and do not hunt tho highest rate of Interest return. They look more to security, and are satisfied with a reasonable re turn. A considerable proportion of their Investments have been In Oregon municipal bonds, which my company purchased and sold to them. Yet In order to attract their Investment, It was necessary that these Oregon muni cipal bonds yield an Interest return that would compare with tho return yielded by municipal bonds issued in other states, or by Government bonds. If Oregon bonds were permitted to yield only 5 percent, those investors would purchase the bonds of munici palities outside of Oregon, or of the United States government, which yield from i up to as high as 7H percent, depending on conditions of mnturlty. It is obvious that If the Interest rato Is limited by constitution to C percent that there would be no market for Oregon bonds. Oregon Investors would . purchase bonds of other stales. The effect of this 5 percent limitation would be to withdraw all Invetments from Orogon. Not only would Oregon Investors refuse to loan or Invest In the state, but outside Investors The SeastorUl Coateat la Oregosu Heppner, Oro., Oct 11, 1920 Editor Th Ooxette-Timhes: Will you kindly publish the follow ing: George Chamberlain Is full of tricky tricks, He sprung Statement No. One His own election to safely fix.

Fellow voters: I am personally ao- ouainted with Bob Stanfleld. and 1 know him to be a clean, safe, capable gentleman. If elected to the United States Senate he will be of vastly more benefit to the Stat of Oregon than Chamberlain has ever been or ever will be, for Mr. 8tanfield Is Irrevocably com mitted to those principles of govern ment that create a most actlv Indus trial development creating and stimu lating a most healthy market for very thing we produce. It multiplies oppor tunities whereby th whole American people can get th largest possible re turns for their efforts in all Kinds or enterprises. Mr. Chamberlain stands for those principles of government that destroy our markets, creat stagnation In all kinds of enterprises and create the absolute compulsion of soup houses and Idle men. Th free trade policy of the democratic party transfers th prof- Its and wealth of these United States to the European countries. Th princi ples and entire plan of government of the democratic party Is un-American. We -are told we never had such good wages. I answer, we never had a world war with billions upon' billions of American money being poured out on every hand. And we never had any party so Infernally wasteful and ex travagant and so absolutely devoid of JUBt horse sense, as has characterised the every act of th Wilson administra tion.

The result would b that Industry, agricul ture and development would languish, With this withdrawal of Capital pros perity would cease, and be replaced by hard times, poverty and want. The In vestors would not suffer, as they could obtain their return from other states, but the farmers, business men, manu facturers, and home buyers would suf fer ruinous losses. Labor would suf fer most of all, through the cessation of employment that would be Inevit able when capital was withdrawn from Industry and public work. The flow of money for Investment cannot be controlled by law. All that It can accomplish Is to shut money out of the state which adopts a foolish limitation. Th net result of Oregon adopting this amendment would be to shut money out of the state, stifle pros perity, throttle Industry, destroy enter prise and Impoverish labor. As a measure tt Is suicidal, and It should be voted down by a heavy majority. Healthy Horses Require Less Care Keening Horses healthy is simply all matter of care in feeding balanced rations.
