AIM OF LAW
New Feature of Com
pensation Act, After
July 1, Gives Em-
ployert Who Reduce
Losses Lower Rates
Herald Hales Dmttu
SALEM, Or., Juan S3 (Special)
The conservation of lift and limb,
which mora and mora la. receiving
iaia aiteauon, is erapnasitea in a
naw feature of (ha Oregon workmen's
compensation law which will da ef
(active July 1. Tola la tha reduction
la rate that (will be allowed Indus
trial coacarna aa a reward for thalr
co-operating with tha Industrial aeel
dant commission in cutting down
death and Injuries as a result of In
duatrlal accidents.
Already there Is In vogue what Is
teraeed aa an experience svlldlnst scale
o t ratea under the compensation act
aa applied to the employer, baaed
on cqmparatlTo freedom from acel
dents In the plants concerned. If an
employer and hie employes are care
ful, It la possible for them to reduce,
by SO per cent the regular Insurance
cost to the concern operating under
tha compensation act.
Pare to Prevent Accident
Over a period of five years, for ex
ample, an employer may, by keeping
his accident liabilities to 30 per rroj
or less of the plant's total Industrial
accident payment, aecure the 30. per
eent redaction la rates. Conversely,
by carelessness or by misfortune, he
asay b penalised 15 per cent above
tha normal rate of payment.
Voder the new amendment a still
further reduction Is allowed by the
commission In return for the Indus
trial concerns complying with certain
safety standards In the way of edu
cating all affiliated with tho plant In
accldrnt prevention. It the standards
are maintained tho S per cent reduc
tion Is allowed rcgardlrsa of results
that may be attained In reducing accidents.-
Safety OommltUv
Five provisions constitute thn bssls
for this exemption. Three of these
pertain to organisation and two to
education. The organisational provi
sions are the formation of a safety
committee of at least three persons;
naonthly meetings of thla committee
to act generally on all matters for
safeguarding lite and limb; and the
forwarding of the minutes of these
deliberations to the atate Industrial
accident commission as proof of com
pliance. The educational provisions
ara maintaining a bulletin board at
the plant to post all safety bulletins
and receive suggestions for better
safety administration, and talks by
foremen or others qualified to advise
relative to safety plans.
Shop Coaunittora Keaard
More than forty large employers
of labor In tha atate already have
sent In their acceptance of the con
dltlona, Inoludlng the rajinutes of
their meetings and the names of thalr
committees, ao they are eligible to
aecure the reduction aa aoon aa the
amendment -la effoctlve.
The new system la altogether In
the handa of the employera, though
h"cowDeratlon of the employee Is
necessary, and tho commission be-
iimtas tho roovomont will be wci
corned by the employes, and that, the
result will be a remarkable reauo
tion In Industrial losses.

that a large sum of money waa kept

In the public mind, the question of
the accumulation of oil eeema to oc
cupy a position somewhat akin to
the transmutation of metals or the
finding of the pot of gold at the rain
bow's end. Movie writers are fond
of picturing the hero, In desperate fi
nancial straits, gaining tho girl and
aavlng the farm by discovering a
film of oil on the old spring, after
which fortune not only smiles but
laughs. ;
There are others, with lies cred
itable ends to eerve, who foater mis
conceptions and take 'advantage of
the general lack of - knowledge.
Quacks and cranks, with mysterious
Instruments, locate oil lakes. .(that
do not exist In Nature) and contrlb
ute to the hate that surrounds tho
oil accumulation.
Oil occumulatea by natural laws
Just aa cortaln In their operation as
the flow of water from a higher to
a lower level.
More or leas exhaustive data has
been collected from all theotl'-fields
of the world. Wnere an" oil-field
exists wmust grant that an accum
ulation of oil there has taken place.
By a careful examination of the
geologlo conditions surrounding each
field and a comparison of auch col
lected data we gain the knowledge
that when certain conditions exist
that certain reaulta inevitably fol
low because of soma natural law.
These factors of accumulation, 'as
they mar be called, are appllcahlelto
all areas of slmOar-physical. aasiAl'
taenia wtts retaUem-of the deeply
bnrted n-baarfaag.atrataa.toionaerop-pine
rocks may be different In even
closely associated areas.
What, then are these governing
factors? Let us trace the oil frop
M ancient place of origin to Its
place of accummulatlon, stopping
alonsT the way to note some ot these
controlling factors.
In the preceding discussion tho
principal facta ot the Vegetable
Organic Theory were admitted. The
decomposition of masses ot vegetable
orgaalama in the mud of prehistoric
lakea and oceans went slowly on
through uncounted centuries. The
Influence exerted by climate has not
yet been determined. It would seem,
though, that bacteriological action
waa probably promoted by torrid cli
matic conditions.
It haa been said by someone that
the average man cannot conceive ot
such a great amount ot money as a
million dollars. It Is inflnltoly more
difficult to conceive of geologic
time. In any Intelligent considera
tion of tho problema connected with
petroleum the time element must bo
kept in mind. The oil ot California
ia younger than any other oil on the
continent except that ot the South
Texas coast. Still we know that tho
vegetation from which it waa form
ed died and waa buriod in the mud
at toaat ten million Tears ago.
Upon that mud jtrata after at rat a
of sedimentation waa deposited.
Sonaatlanea a prehlstorlco flood
would aweep over It leaving behind
a fear feet of sand from regions miles
distant. Then for a few thousand
Team a alow deposit ot sediment
would be formed by the erosion ot
the surrounding mountains. Upon
tha old lake and ocean beds the aedl
sxaatatton from various causes
throughout the millions ot yean
termed a gradually Increased weight!
Tbia weight Is called the over-burden.
The weight ot tho overburden
gradually increased. The mud be
came denser. Its porosity or ca
pacity to contain, oil decreased. The
mud became shale. As from a gi
gantic aponge the oil waa pressed
out. Oil continually moves from a
point ot maximum compacting to a
point ot minimum compacting.
What would be a point ot minimum
compacting? It might be aome fissure
or aerlea of fissures. It might be a
sandstone which withstands a rela
tively extreme pressure before com
pacting. Or it might be some tort of

Sandstono may ho said to 1m tho'
home of petroleum though, as noted,
It may occasionally bo found eluo
wborn. It Is tho plnco of refugo for
oil driven from thn shales, tuivnr tho
place of origin. To form nn nccum-
utatlon tn a porous sedlmcntnry bad
the reservoir must bo scaled In
tome manner. This mny bo either
by a loss pormcatablo rock, such as
sbalo or clay or by snmo part ot tha
sedimentary bed being 'charged with
water or clogged by asphalt. In a
lator discussion of Structure will be
covered the action of water as a scal
ing element. '
Lakes ot oil do not occur In tho
earth."' It may bo unnecessary to so
stato but there sccmtJ to bo a mis
conception on this point In tho minds
of many people.-Petrolenm Is pro
duced from porous beds of bomo
strataflod formation with tho excep
tion noted of, ltn rare occurence In
earth fissures. The porosity of pro
duclng oil sands and limestones varyr
... r
from ii to 3 per ceni to givo somo
Idoa ot how much'oll"rnay bo con
talncd within a,. small area consider
thata 20 per cent porosity would lc
equivalent to 20 cu. ft. ot oil o each
100 cu. ft. of sandstone, t
An oil-sand SO feet thick under nn
aero of ground could contain ap-1
proximately 6G.000 barrels of oil.
This calculation assumes that tho
oil-sand Is completely saturated.
Slrtco tho original source of oil
Is from bodies ot sbalo In which It
occurs In a disseminated condition It
Is necessary that thero bo a suffi
cient area of such material In prox
imity to a porous reservoir ot nonio
description. This Is referred to as a
dralnago area. Tho limits of a
dralnago area nro generally set by
structural conditions which will bo.
discussed later.
So far, then, wo havo as controlling
facters:
(a) A material, such a slialo, lit
while tho oil was originally formed.
(b) A neighboring rcsorvolr such
aa sandfttono which will net ns an ac
cumulating reservoir.
(c) A sealing medium to tho re
servoir that will conflno tho oil
within a relatively small area.
(d) A dralnago area of sufficient
proportions to produce commercial
quantities of ol.
Undor Structure will bo doflnod
othor controlling factors. Given a
competent sourco ot supply nnd a
proper rocoptnelo, structure pormlts
concentration which la of paramount
importance and which will bo dis
