13 THERE oil In Oregon?
Well, none ha been tound. as
yet. In commercial quantities, ana,
the geologlste don't hold out a great
deal of encouragement. But a lot or
people have been willing to gamble
on the possibility of finding oil In
this state.
f - Putting It all together, a lot ot
money has been spent In "wlld-cat-tlng"
in this state In the past decade
,n. "Wlld-cattlng" is a more or
less technical term for prospecting
for oil.
MOST of these "wild cat" wells are
dormant at the present time, for
money for such gambling Is none too
plentiful, but over In the Uingeil val
ley, in Eastern Klamath county, the
Langell Valley Oil company la start
ing up again after a considerable pe
riod of inactivity, beginning last week
the Job of "pulling the casing" of Us
Bonanza well.
UWTHAT is the casing?" do youj
VY ask?
It la the iron pipe that line the
o-.il. The cable, with the tools at
the end, works through this plp
As the hols get deeper, they put
down more pipe, starting with big
pipe at the top. and getting smalle-
as they go farther down. .
The hole Is down approximately
3100 feet now.
' ,i thy are they pulling the casing?
W Thla la the answer: They THINK
n oil well. They Know
they have SOME oil. and they have
aome gas actual petroleum gas Both
have come out of the hole.
Whether they have oil and gas in
commercially paying quantities re
mains to be seen. They are going to
find out.
M
AS DRILLING goes on. the casing
becomes worn by the friction 01
the cable and the tools. It Is worn
quit thin In places.
They don't want to run any risk ot
bringing In an oil. well with a worn
easing. The pipe might break through
in the worn places, letting In water.
A mixture of water doesn't do on
any good. ,
Bo they are taking out the worn
t pipe and replacing It with new.
IT IS an Interesting process. .
They let down a tool that ex
pands and Jama Inside the pipe. Then
they start Jarring away on thla tool,
the purpose being to Jar the plp
loose from the enclosing earth, ao
that It can be pulled out. If you
ever pulled out deeply driven fence
posts, you will understand the prin
ciple.
ATTACHED to the cable that works
the tool Is a sort of handle, and
the driller standa with hla hand on
thla. He work both by touch and
by ear. knowing by the "feel" of the
cable and the sound what la happen
ing down at the bottom of the hole.
It la delicate work, requiring a lot
of skill and Involving no little re
sponsibility, as A costly hole can be
ruined by Inexpert handling. Be
thv nnMess skill and are will
ing to accept responsibility, drlllera
are pretty well paid.
M
PULLING the casing la a ticklish
Job, with plenty of possibilities
of trouble. The pipe may break loose
from the tool and drop with a thud
that will cause It to buckle or teles
cope in auch a way that the tool can t
be got down through It again. That,
as you csn see, would be dlssstroue.
Bob Burns, the hesd driller, was
so nervous the other day that when
Mrs. Burns rsng the dinner bell over
at the cookhouse he paid not the
slightest attention to It, but went
right on with hla work.

From January to June the state
relief committee apportioned 93.863.

Local communities contributed 9337
633 of that amount, the rest coming
from the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration and federal emergency relief
funds.
The relief burden will mount, re
lief workers predicted. Many border
line cases got by without aid, but
are nearing the end of their means. ,
Heavy Demand Coming.
On these figures the state relief
committee based Its original conten
tion the state must provide upwards
of 95,000.000 for the next 14 months,
since federal funds will be available
only in one to two proportion to state
expenditures.
These fLgurea were also the basis
for the suggested 18,000,000 mini
mum to be raised by the special ses
sion of the legislature when called to
consider the problem.
The case load of the committee,
headed by Raymond B. Wilcox, rang
ed from 20.170 families In July to
the peak of 81,287 families In May.
Monthly expenditures were from
347.617 in July to 770.4J7 in May.

Multnomah Gets Most.
Wilcox stated recently that more
than 60 per cent of the relief work
was by necessity done in Multnomah
county. Most of local contributions
likewise came from that county,
these funds jumping to $140,623 last
May from an average around $35,000
a month.
Wilcox recently started the move
for a special session of the legisla
ture to consider the problem when he
asked the governor on behalf of his
committee to call an extraordinary
meeting to provide new revenue for
this work.

be loading on a boat and be
going to somebody else's coun
try to help 'em run it. I see
where sometime today they are
supposed to pick out Cuba's
next week's president.
Our secretary of the navy
has gone abroad to review the
American fleet.
Cuba don't care so much for
a new president as they do just 1
to see how quick the lust one
can leave town.
If these last few presidents
Cuba throws out have got as
big a family as Machado had
Cuba will wnko up some morn
ing with no population.
