OIL SANDS IN

il; ' great quantity In. Klamath enun-
'i: ty, probably at a' depth of 6000
,i ' feet.
II Everything that an oil country
j ' should have In the. way of Indi-
I ' rations Klamath-has. Oil shale
comes from the wells. There are
dnitens of wster wells scattered
jj throughout the Klamath b.isiir
' from which oil has been taken,
Ji ' and natural gas, also. In con-
!' , slderable quantities,
jj The richest fields' tor drilling.
II ' geologists say, are located In
j' Yonna valley, the Klamath basin
) ' proper (meaning thai lower por
I tlon of the valley between K la to
ll, atb Palls and Malln)- and the
ridge of hills between Tule and
j ' Lower Klamath lake.
1 . Thrmrlea - Clash
The' theory advanced by some
geologists Is that this country Is
entirely volcanic In origin, so
much so that there la little pos
sibility of drilling through t'.ie
' rap to oil. Many quarrel with
this theory. Petrified fish bones
' have been discovered, which have
lain embedded for thousands of
years. In wells da In Sand Hoi-
1 low, toads have been exhumed at
depth tof 100 feet, toads which
' have been dormant undoubtedly
for thousands and thousands of
years. These fish bones, and
i these live loads.' pever stood the
test of molten lava, other geol-
' oglsts point out.
The oil taken from the 'central
' portion of the Klamath basin is.
j i a highly refined parafflne oil,
. ' thought by geologists to have
lj been filtered for a long distance
I before reaching the surface, and
' also probably treated by heat.
I, Natural Gas Valuable
j. The natural gas which comes
' from those wells is. in many
1 cases, valuable for burning, and
on some of these ranches the, gas.
If It could be profitably piped to
'. I the houses, would furnish both
;i heat and light.
, These wells are located on the
l,u m Short ranch, the Harry
II. Jones. Emil Schlesel, Don Fol-'
-1, som, and Andree ranches.
'. That oil . will be eventually
-X- found ' here is the conclusion
of several "geologists who have
. studied the section '-for years.
. It may be years, . they say:
"1 perhaps 'none of J.ho present
j ' 1 population will live to see the
t day,-'but to' those--who- have
f ! studied the situation here and in
' ' other countries where oil has
k-. ' been found la commercial quan
tities. It-is . certainty that some
dajf Klamath . will be a greater
oil center than it Is at present a
lumber .center.. ' i :

J" -: and many other smaller projects ;
which, in the aggregate, have ac-U
celerated the growth of Klain -
ath Falls.
In an official government cen
i sua bureau report, Klamath
' Falls was declared to have exper -
lenced the greatest growth ini;j
ratio to population of any city I
In the United States during thelj
past five years.
Unlike many other cities which
have had their brief spans of
development, Klamath Falls'
growth Is apparently not a tran
. altory "boom." Rather than
slackening', the city has steadily
increased its pace of growth as
vor micceeded year. With the
beginning of the Weyerhaeuser
operations, with every mill In the
1 basin ooerating and with the
! completion of the Great Northern Uj
extension Into the Klamath basin, i
the year 1928 appears to be thejT
now banner year, even as each J
' preceding year has occupied that.ji

The average depth of water used on Klamath land tor
full irrigation varies fro'm 1.0 to l.S feet. The average depth
of water diverted is about i.S feet per acre. The irrlga-
gation season extends from May 1st to October 1st.
The cost of a water right from the Reclamation - Service
varies from $30.00 to 90.00 per acre. Over the greater
portion of the area served directly by the service, the build-
ing charge for both irrigation and drainage will approil-
mate $45.00 per acre.
Water rights purchased from individuals', irrigation dis-
trlcts, or private companies would bear Interest, and
would vary greatly In amount. . .
In addition to the building charge there would always w
be an annual maintenance and operation charge, which
might vary from year to year, and which Is likely to aver-'
age aroand $1.50 per acre. t

Alfalfa Seed is
Produced Under
Threat of Death
By XEA Si-rvlce. '
CHICAGO. Slay 10. "Death
threats" are foun I necessary tn
V'tuh to make alfalfa produce
seed. That the threats have been
effective Is shown by the fact that
this state holds the alfalfa area
production recorl of the world.
This remarkable agricultural
phenomenon Is revealed In a sur
V07 of the alfalfa situation Just
completed by the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute of Chicago,
which for four oears hss been or
ganizing lO.OOO-a.-re alfalfa clubs
throughout the Mississippi valley.
Alfalfa In Utah, is grown at an
altitude of from 4700 to 6500
feet where temperatures' from 10
to SO degrees below sero are com
mon In winter and where irriga
tion is necessary.
Wen the airalfa seed growers
find that the plant Is not produc
ing the seed as It should, they
withdraw Its "drink supplr" and
the plant, feeling that Us life Is
at stake, starts to seed. This Is
not the technical way of putting
It, but that is what happens.
Fifty per cent of the available
PPly of dependable alfafa seed
! Arizona. Texas and New Mexico
i cd .are classified as non-hardy
lor aJapiablo for mid-western and
( eastern stales, then between 60
and 70 per Cent -of the supply of
I hardy alfalfa Is Utah grown..

During 1927 a number of adjustment contracts were entered
into between the I'nlted States and vurious districts. In general
these contracts provide for an extension of tlmo from 20 yuurit
to 40 years tn which to ropajr the building cost. As n result of
these amendatory contracts, the districts are. generally well up In
the matter or payments. There follows an approximate statement
of the unaccrued building charges.
