CHAMBER PLAN
GETS SUPPORT
State Body Enthused Over
"Stop Forest Fires"
Association
Natural gas of the purest paraffine type has forced
itself through fissures in the dry bed of Tule Lake, about
ssven miles southeast of Merrill and is escaping from
eight distinct vents in quantities sufficient to light the
' city of Klamath Falls.
Thie is the Startling information brought to thiv TuukHlny'a urrest nro unprecedented
city today by J. D. Howard, local geologtst, who spent
all of yesterday at the scene of the find, making expert
tests.
' The chimneys or vents from which the gas is escap
ing range in diameter from six to thirty inches, according
to Mr. Howard. By means of a special apparatus gas
was collected from one of the vents, a tube attached and
a flame over a foot in length resulted when a match was
applied. This burned steadily and with intense heat
There is enough gas es
caping at this hour in the
area examined to light the
city of Klamath Falls and
perhaps many cities, the
geologist declared. "I al
most feel assured in stating
that at least a half million
feet a day is finding its way
through the porous surface
at the point visited.
