Oil Was in Use as Early
As in the Time of Noah
The firs t co m m e rcia l oil w ell was
d rille d in A m erica, but o il that
seeped to the surface of the earth
was used fo r sim ple purposes as
fa r back as human knowledge goes,
relates a w rite r in the Chicago T rib
une. Noah, according to the Bible,
used pitch to stop up leaks in the
ark.
‘ ‘And God said unto Noah . . .
make thee an a rk o f gopher wood;
rooms shalt thou m ake in the ark,
and shait pitch it w ith in and w ithout
w ith p itch .”
The Am erican P etroleum in stitu te
says the pitch was a fo rm o f petro
leum from the shores of the Dead
sea.
The Greeks used o il to set fire to
enemy ships. There are records of
its use among the e a rly Chinese.
The Indians were using crude oil
fo r medicine when the P ilg rim s
came to A m erica. The o il was
skim m ed fro m
the surface of
springs. The w hite men treated
rheum atism w ith it. No such thing
as a refining process had been heard
of and uses of o il in its crude fo rm
were lim ite d .
Old as is the use of oil, its o rig in
is much more ancient. I t comes
from decomposed sea plants and
anim als that were covered w ith mud
of seas long eras ago. Over count
less years p a rt of the mud turned
to stone, some to limestone, and
some to shale. These are “ source
rocks” of oil. E ve ry continent has
them.
The A m erican P etroleum in s ti
tute, in a history of oil, says th a t
George Washington had an oil
spring and that he listed it in his w ill
as a valuable possession. I t was on
a tra c t of western Pennsylvania
land w h icli he bought in 1753. H ow
ever, the task of getting oil did not
become an in d u stry u n til m ore than
a hundred years la te r.

these goes also the $5000 sterling
silver Sam Jackson trophy.
New
departure in the world championship
bucking this year will be the use of
chutes instead of the former method
of saddling the mounts in the arena.
The old system will be used for the
northwest bucking. Thus the Round-
Up will be the only rodeo in the
country offering to spectators a
chance to compare the two methods.
Besides the daily parades at the
Round-Up grounds, the Pendleton
show offers its magnificient West
ward Ho! parade, staged nowhere
else in the world, which will wind
through Pendleton streets on Fri
day, third day of the show, at 10 a.
m. The parade was conceived as a
tribute to the pioneers of Oregon,
and its name came from his battle
cry. Some 5,000 participate, in
cluding whites and Indians, and
every entry is historically correct.
Original relics are used and exact
replicas have been constructed to re
place originals no longer in exis
tence. Every pioncsr vehicle known
is found in that long amazing pro
cession, from the Indian travois
(pronounced trav-wah,) used by the
redman to transport family goods
from one camp to another, to the
prairie schooner which creaked
westward with the first migration.
The Indians, 2,000 of them, bring a
brilliant climax to the mighty caval
cade; chiefs, bucks, braves, squaws
—aged grandmothers, Indian maid
ens and tiny papooses, drowsing in
the beaded "tekashes” on their
mother's backs.
This year sees a new Round-Up
president in the saddle; he’s Bill
Switzler, active in the show since its
inception; a pick-up man in the
arena for 17 years, and seven times
judge.
For the evening hours, the vivid

COMMITTEE FOR
CORN SHOW SET
FOR BIG EVENT
With December 1 and 2 definite
ly set as the dates for Oregon’s third
annual statewide corn show, commit
tees headed by Charles W. Smith, as
sistant county agent leader, are
working already on various arrange
ments intended to make this the
largest and most educational show |
of its kind.
The extension service and experi
ment station of Oregon State college
have Been asked to cooprate with
the original sponsors in staging the
show at Corvallis from now on. Rep
resentatives of state farm organiza
tions and of the Smith-Hughes de
partment are working on the gener
al committee in charge.
Detailed closing dates for exhi
bits, time of judging, etc., will be
announced In connection with pub
lication of the premium list early in
September, says Smith. Tentative
nlans, however, call for exhibits to
be received the first day of the corn-
show week, following many county
shows. O.S.C. students will assist in
placing exhibits to be followed by
judging—-all prior to the official
opening of the show the Friday af
ter Thanksgiving.
An educational program will be
held in connection with the show,
and provisions are being made for
4-H clubs and 8mith-Hughes stu
dents to hold judging contents.
Results and exhibits of the O.S.C.
hybrid corn growing contest will be
shown in connection with the regu
lar show. This contest included coat
of production and rate of yield fig-
urea.
O f all bridges devised by m an
kind to span rive rs, stream s, o r oth
er na tu ra l breaks in the e a rth ’s sur
face th a t obstruct m ovem ent, the
type known as the arch bridge is
the most graceful and the m ost a r
tis tic . Perhaps also it is as ancient
as any, w ith the possible exception
of the single-span type o f bridge,
fo r men were building arches back
in neolithic tim es, w rite s John A.
Menaugh in the Chicago Tribune.
The principle of the arch has been
known fro m very e a rly days. When
men of the la te r Stone age discov
ered th a t a wide opening could be
spanned by leaning tw o stones to
gether at its apex the firs t arch was
made, and the ruins of such t r i
angular arches s till are w idely found
throughout the basin of the M e d ite r
ranean. F rom these firs t arches the
whole business o f building arch
bridges—even down to modern
tim es—developed.
M any of the
la rg e st and strongest bridges are
b u ilt upon the p rin cip le of the arch,
although iron, steel, and reinforced
concrete have supplanted stone and
tim b e rs of the e a rlie r types.
I t was the em ploym ent of stone,
however, that was responsible fo r
the o rig in of the arch as applied to
bridge building.
Stone arches are constructed of
rocks o r stones th a t are n a tu ra lly
wedge shaped o r have been cut into
wedges.
