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!
