NOTE In a aerie of article of which this Is tho" seventh, W. C.
Lehman, manager of tho Crater Oll,nna On company and Northern
California Oil company, a trained geolcglit, will tell, In language
tho layman can understand, hi ruaon for ballet that oil .underlies
Klamath county. Tho norle will bo an Interesting and Instructive
history of petroleum and the petroleum Industry, which all -who
desire to bo well Informed ahould road.)
Just as certain method of drill
ing oil wells have become reeog
nlted a the best through the evo
lution of tho oil Industry, o also
ha tho mean of acquiring" title to
prospective oil landa developed cer
tain atandard practice In reference
to oil lease.
Since the surface of the ground
ha little comparative value to tke
oil operator, dlrett purchaae of bind
for oil development ha llttW at
traction to the average oil man or
oil company. There are aome oil
field In the United Statee, located
In region whore the agricultural
value of tho land I low. In which
the oil operator hnvo purchased tho
land outright. Theio field and tkla
practice, however, I exceptional.
The averago well drilled-for oHl
located on land the mineral right of
which ha been leaied by those ''do
ing tho development Since the ell
Industry In the United States baa a
history of over halt a century, and
1 conducted on o vast a scale,
many dispute have arisen between
tho lessor and the lessee ot oil Isiid,
prospective and otberwlae. These
disputes have been carried through
the courts and have affected nearly
every possible controversial point,
In reference to an oil lease. Certain
ratios ,ln reference to royalty later
eats, have been established aa fair
to both leaser and leeaee. Certain
principle have bees laid down! by
the courts as to, the rights). fed
dntleif of each party. The applica
tion ot these principles vary In dif
ferent sections, but tho underlying
equities roanaln tbe same.
An oil lea so may be divided Into
several parts: Ftrstr there, must be
a consideration. Second, thore must
be-a form to the lease. Third, there
must be a promise of development
work 'within a definite stated peri
od. Fourth, there mua tbe a sec
ondary consideration In the form of
a royalty to th owner of tho land.
In many states, the courts have
held, that ahould any ot these parts
be absont tho lease Is Invalid.
In Ita practical application, ' the
first point, namely, definite consid
eration, la frequently only formal
and the nominal sum of one dollar
is to comply with the common law
ot contracts. The second point,
namely, the term of lease, ha been
tho subject of much litigation.

have Influenced. flaee IbenVmuch of
the Judicial eoaslderatlon'glven this
point until today every properly
drawn lease atate definitely the
term of Ita ilfo If unaffected by the
undetermined developments, such a
tho striking of oil. The third point,
tho promlae to drill, la determined
largely by local condition. Bo long
as the tease contains a clause by
wbkh the lessee promises certain
development work, wltnln a reason
able time, and a penalty claaee ren
dering the lease Invalid la ease the
promise I sot kept, tke necessary
principle haa been observed.
The fourth point, royalty to ike
owner, Is more rigid In Its applica
tion. Certain royalties have become
atandard throughout the United
States. in thoroughly unproveu
territories, suck as the Klamath
Ilasln, It la the practice of all large
oil companies and Individual oper
ator to pay one-tentb, either of the
oil or the proceeds from the oil
aaved, to the owner ot the land.
Within district 'that, stay be con.
sldered comparatively tare ot pro
duction, cither on, tke outskirts of
an oil field, or wltkk a nearby
radius, one-eighth royalty 'Is paid.
There, are exceptional cases, where
lease have been taken on a one-
sixth, or even oae-flfth royalty,
when tke prospective location was
considered certain of production,
having large producing wells In
close proxlsalty.
It mar aeea that these royalties
are not'a larga a they sb.ou.ld be,
and so unfair to ,the land, .owner.
To, obtain an. Impartial vfew of tbe
matter certain facta must bo given
consideration, that may be over
looked. In unproven territory the
averago test "well Involves an ex
pendlture, when drilled to a depth
or 5,600 feet, ot approximately $70,
000.09. Of this amount spent by
tho oil operator not moro than $20,-
000,00 ran bo salvaged In case ot a
failure, so be Is gambling on tbe
possibility ot his striking oil to the
extent of $50,000.00. Tbe land on
which he drills la not Injured to any
appreciable extent, the owner losing
practically nothing If tbo well la
dry. In case oil Is struck there
are certain operating and upkeep
expenses. Let us suppose a forty-
acre lease Is under consideration,
on which nine wells have been drill
ed, each one producing 60 barrels
per day. Let us see how the oil

were spread on the asphalt and when
the lively tune played by the band
began, the atret became crowded
with dancers who whirled and swung
as multi-colored streamers ot paper

In the crowd were good, poor, In

Joying themselves even If they did
step on pet corn and the like. It
was tun they wanted and fun they
had- Old and young, all Joined In the

the two tunes, "Home, Sweet Home"
and "Oood Night Ladles For Te're

the band, ending one of the moat
successful street dances ever held

Following the successful dance
last night and the highly
satisfactory 'manner In which it waa
conducted, many people Inquired
whether or not the holding of n sim
ilar 'dance every two weeks on Sat
urday night would not be a hat
drawing card to get some life atlrreS
up la thl city, also a spirit of 'gat
acquainted' with your neighbors.
With the rod, white and blue elee
trie lamps sending down a merry
glow, and the main street all antes
that auch affair would advertise the
city and bring many visitor to take
part In similar "free street danees."
Not much expense would be requir
ed to put It over. The benches for
street seats are already made and
about 880 would cover tbo lumber
bill. Storage coud be obtained from
tbe city official In the old city hall,
a place close tor transportation to'
Main street.
Tho band played good dance
music last night and they must be
aupported it this city Is to have
music, so, Inquire the enthusiast,
why not use them every two weeks
and have a royal good tlmo and
merrymaking, "In our own home
town"? There are many boosters ot
this (plan for creating civic enter
tainment and to proro It Is feasible,
they point to how this free dance
drew tho folxa out and what returns
In pleasure wero given the populace?
William Conklln Is one or tke
