13 THERE oil In Oregon?
Quite a controversy has raed
around that question. One school ot
thought holds that while there un
doubtedly ww oil here once prob
ably thousands of yeara ago volcanic
disturbances that came alter its
formation broke up the reservoirs and
permitted the oil to drain away
either that or Ignited, and burned it.
Another school holds that oil Is
where you find It. and that It might
be found In Oregon, as well aa any
where else.
IT SHOULD beunderstood, of course,
that what Is here aald refers to oil
In commercial quantities. There
no doubt at all as to the existence
In Oregon of oil In small quantltlea.
That has been proved time and again.
OIL, being light, 'rises through the
crust or the earth, instead ot
sinking, aa water does.
It keeps on rising until It reaches
some lmpervloua substance, such as
elate, that atops It. If thla Impervious
substance happens to be tilted to one
side, or even flat, the rising oil Just
slides along under it and goes some
where else. But If It happens to be
shaped like an Inverted bowl, the ris
ing oil Is trapped and has to stay
there.
These Inverted bowls are known In
oil language aa "domes," or struc
tures. The lucky driller Is he Who
thrusts his drill through the roof ot
one of them and Into the lake of oil
beneath.
THOSE who hold to the theory that
there la no commercial oil In Ore
gon believe that volcanic upthrusts
occurring after the oil was formed
broke through these confining struc
tures and permitted the oil to drain
away. Just as water leaka away
through a crack In a broken bowl
Or else they set fire to the trapped
oil and gaa and they burned away.
M
THOSE who drill for oil In Oregon
"wildcatters." to use the oil man's
term for prospecting don't as a rule
deny the broad possibilities of this
theory, but hold to the belief that
there are structures that haven't been
broken up by fhese volcanic up
thrusts. Backera of the Bonanza oil well,
mentioned In thla column day be
fore yesterday, believe they have
found such an unbroken structure out
In the Langell valley.
They think It la some three or four
miles wide by about 12 miles long.
Only the drill can prove positively
whether or not that la true.
WHAT Is oil, anyway? :
It haa been generally believed
that It Is of animal origin, and comes
from billion of prehistoric marine
creatures that Is to say, creatures
that lived In the waters of the pre
historic seas.
This, however, Is only one theory.
ANOTHER Is that It la condensed
from gases formed In the hot In
terior of the earth.
These gaaes. If this theory la accu
rate, seep out from the hot core ot
the earth Into the cooler crust and
there are condensed. Just as alcohol
la condensed In the worm of a still.
After condensation, so thla theory
goes, the oil collect In poola.
OIL men who cast doubts upon the
theory of origin from marine ani
mals point to Signal Hill, at Long
Beach, aa proof that this Idea doesn't
hold water. ,
Signal Hill, they say, contains some
1100 acres. Yet. alnce the first dia-

ROOSEVELT PLANS
SPEEDRECOVERY
Rise in Agricultural Returns
Needed to Keep Pace With
Industrial . Upswing
Aid Promised Banks
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. (AP)
Expressly gratified with progress in
the recovery endeavor but not satis
fied. President Roosevelt has concen
trated his Immediate attention on a
rise In agricultural prices to keep
pace with the Industrial upswing.
Simultaneously, as outlined today
In the highest quarter, plans are
afoot for the fullest federal support
to banks or a nature that makes
Mr. Roosevelt count on Increased co
operation from bankers toward spur
ring business.
To all appearances, he Is going to
push the upward rend steadily and
gradually, avoiding violent fluctua
tion either upward or downward.
Banks Reassured
Renewed assurance has been given
to the banks that federal funds were
available if needed to reen force the
capital structures.
With this, the president expressed
confidence the banks will push out
the needed credit to tide over the
small merchant, particularly, in the
first days of the expansion of jobs
and wages.
In resurveylng the national recov
ery effort, the president haa come to
regard agriculture as the Immediate
point of need.
He wants the general advance to
go much farther, but he recognizes
that all the unemployed cannot be
put backf to work within six months
or perhaps within a year and like
wise that farm Income cannot be
rehabilitated completely at once,
Secretary Wallace took encouraging
word to him recently of a prospective
increase of a billion dollars from
1933 farm income over last year.
Big Lift Desired
The president, taking 1014 pur
chasing power as a desirable point,
la described as wanting the total to
be lifted eventually to nine billion
a year, or almost three billion more
than the prospective 1D33 figure.
The government's method of as
sisting the banks. It was made clear,
would be through the plan, already
in operation, of purchases of pre
ferred stock by the reconstruction
corporation.
Only such banks as are clearlv and
Irredeemably insolvent will be per-1
mltted to close.
Mr. Roosevelt said this might be
taken by the banks as an assurance
the government Intends to carry
through lt program and expect
them to do their part.
It was also learned that the sub
ject of making loans to Industries
for payroll purposes was under dis
cussion. If, for Instance; a factory
has unfilled orders and the local
banks refuse to give It the credit It
needs to fill them, the Reconstruc-
tlon corporation may make them
loans.

PORTLAND. Ore., Sept. 13.(P)
In an effort to eliminate a large
overall pply of the pear crop In the
Pacific northwest, members of the
Northwest .Fruit Industries, Inc.,
agreed at a meeting here last night
not to pack certain classes of Boscs
in the fancy and extra fancy divi
sions this season. The cut, they esti
mated, will amount to 39 per cent
of the Bok crop.
The meeting was attended by rep
resentatives of the industry in Ore-'
gon, Washington and Idaho, and m
reaching the agreement, particular
emphasis was placed on the elimina
tion, as It will affect the Medford and
Hood River' district in Oregon and
the Yakima and Wen a tehee districts
in Washington.
Bosc fancies larger than 100s and
smaller than 165s. and Bosc extra
fancies smaller than 180s are includ
ed in the classes that will not be
packed. Those attending the meet
ing expressed the belief that this was
the first time in the history of the
northwest an agreement on such an
elimination had been made.
