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.

By John L. 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

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.
Another thing he done,
He got th democrat to register repub
lican
And nominate Stanfleld against their
man
To make th election easier for their
Chamberlain.
nut Georg hai raised an awful row,
A big fight la surely on.
The Wilson men won't help him now
And Stanfleld will better serve Oregon.
His tricky tricks won't make him votes.
He had much better have acted fair.
And when the votes are counted George
111 be th goat.
It pays all candidates to be on the
square.
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. Ladles of Oregon: 014 Harry Cum-
mlngs has paid dearly to learn the
truth of the above statements. Don't
be mislead by such stuff as th Journal
la sending out.
Very truly,
HARRY CUMMINGS.

would shun Orogon as a plague. 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.
