I'M PLAyjN'HIDE 'N SEEK WITH OADO! Pair Obtains Good Results In Artesian Well Drilling By MYRTLE WIMER FORT KLAMATH - During the first week of June, veteran well driller George Hartley of Bonanza with his son Charles of Klamath Falls, achieved good results drilling two artesian wells in Fort Klamath and vicinity. The first well was put down at the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Ridgeway in the Seven Mile area, where they obtained a good flow of water at 105 feet. The Ridgeways had the well drilled for stock watering purposes. After the first well was finished on June 3, the Hartleys moved their well drilling equipment to the Raymond Van Wormer resi dential property in Fort Klam ath, and started work on June 4. They finished on Saturday. June after a good flow of artesian water had been obtained at 105 feet. This well was drilled for do mestic use. Once a good flow is secured, a permanent supply of artesian wa ter is assured. Average depth of wells throughout the Wood River Valley is 160 feet, and the ice cold water has been laboratory tested and found to be 100 per cent pure. The artesian belt. extends as far north as the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. Ray C. 1 Stormy I Chase, one mile north of Fort Klamath on Highway 62. Many years ago, sev eral, unsuccessful attempts were made to obtain a flow of artesian water by drilling beyond the Chase ranch and those living above that point depend on wells which have been dug. On March 17 of last year, P. Aj forest service property in Fort Klamath; however, unexpected dif ficulties were encountered and the contract was extended by the for est service. On April 11, exactly lour weeks from the starting flate, a good now of artesian wa tor was obtained at a depth of 335 leet. At that time, this correspondent reported that the well was the deepest in the valley, but this was found later to be erroneous. Fred L. Pope stopped in and set the record straight with the informa tion that the deepest artesian well was located on his ranch, where it had been necessary to drill 365 feet before a good flow of water was obtained: this is now the known record for depth throughout the valley! At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Pope lived at their ranch south of rort Klamath, but since they have moved to Salem where Pope ac cepted the position of chief of the agricultural department. His son Stephen is now managing the ranch and plans to resume his col lege education this fall when the Joseph McAuliffe cattle pastured on the Pope ranch are shipped out to market.' ?

CHAMBER OMMENTS by GEORGE T. CALLISON ' Assistant Mar. KLAMATH COUNTY CHAMIER OF COMMKCI If you are figuring on a family outing after church today, you might keep 3 p.m. in mind and head toward the California state line on Highway 97 a little be- ore that time. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, the chamber of commerce will offi cially open its Oregon Centennial Information Center on the east side of the highway right at the state line. Representatives of the city and county government. Klamath's legislative delegation. the Oregon and California high way departments and other digni taries will be present for the brief dedication. ceremonies. Wayne Keefer. chairman of the chamber'! Centennial committee will act at master of ceremonies. The information center, con structed of Redi-cut logs, will be manned by two Klamath Falls university students throughout the summer months, beginning to morrow. Hours will be from 9 to 5 daily, through Labor Day, Sep tember 7. Northbound motorists, who siop at the information cen ter, will be provided will all the information they need to make their stay in the Klamath Basin and the state of Oregon a pleas ant one. With the best Interests of the community in mind, the cham ber of commerce has long cham pioned the continued presence and development of Oregon Tech nical Institute in, Klamath Falls. Quite naturally, then, the cham ber heartily endorses the county- wide campaign which gets under way Tuesday morning to raise $V).ono to purchase a new campus site for OTI. The recent session of the stale Legislature through the efforts of the Klamath delegation passed proper laws to guarantee that OTI will stay and develop in Klamath Falls, but only if the community furnishes the campus site. A site consisting of some 130 acres along Alameda has been se lected for purchase . . . the state board of higher education has ap proved it . . . all that remains is to raise the accessary money to ouy the land. A big job, unques tionably, but pre-campaign reports from the fund drive chairman. J. Vem Owens, indicate an enthus iastic attitude on the part of both the, campaign workers and a num ber of prospective contributors who already have been contacted. Two or three weeks ago I Wrote about the vast number of inquiries that come to the chamber by mail . nearly 700 since the middle1 of March. The greatest number of them, of course, are the usual in quiries from people planning vaca tions in the Klamath area and Oregon or from others who are seeking a new home. When a couple of letters came in this week asking help in locat ing long-lost friends or relatives, I was surprised to learn that 1hc chamber receives a steady flow of this type of inquiry. While these letters receive the same careful attention any other inquiry gets. it must be admitted that the cham ber of commerce it not at its effective best as a Missing Per sons Bureau. While we have been able to locate a few. in most cases we can only refer the inquirer to those agencies better qualified and equipped for this tort of detective work. The championship for the most unusual request directed to the chamber still rests with the An zona couple who wrote four years ago to ask for a listing of Klam ath Falls stores where horse meat was sold. They explained that they would be traveling through- this area .and that they would aeed the horse meat for their .pet that would be traveling with them an African lion!
