The discovery of natural gas in
our own country has not iieen
without the element ot the super
natural. The first natural kms

ited with having been struck in
1020 on tho south bank of the
Ohio river, within the present lim

Here tho proprietors ot a salt

the river in an effort to increase
their supply of salt water, Ulv-ov-ered,
much to their amazement
and consternation that one of tho
wells was discharging a gas in

pected. This development be
cuuie u matter of neriou conse

to dig a well and put down a hole

of natural gas wus mndn in the

It was not until lSti.'i that any
real domestic use of natural gas
began. This resulted in tho for
mation of the first natural gas
corporation in the L'nlted States,
which was known as the "Fred-

was used as fuel in 12 houses in

' . Oeurral SuH-rintenunt .Natural Oa Corp. at OreiPHl
Much interest has been taken by all residents In the
operation of the gas plant which has just been completed
in this city by the Natural Gas Corporation of Oreyon,
particularly as this is an entirely new service in this
area. The construction of these plants has only been un
dertaken following; a careful study and survey made by
engineers of Standard Man-
' agement and Operating Cor-
: poration, who have been in
direct charge of construe-1
! tion work, and are believed '
to be an improved type over
those generally in use in
i other parts of the country.
i SOLVES PROBLEM
This survey was under
taken by Natural Gas Cor
poration of Oregon in ap
preciation of the great need
for such a service in the
many communities through
out the Pacific Coast who
were denied gas service due
to the high cost of build
i n g manufactured gas
plants and the impossibility
of building natural gas
transmission mains to the
more scattered sections of
the country.
Air butane gas plants are prov
ing the solution to this problem.
and now all residents In this
area may enjoy the same com
forts and conveniences of sas for
fuel which are enjoyed by their
friends tn the neighboring; cities.
HKiHLY COMFRKSBF.D
First, tbis butane gas ' Is
taken from the atills where gas
oline Is being made, and then
shipped in liaufied form rift
unit cars to the community in
which it is to be served. These
tank cars are of the high press
ure type, of heavy steel construc
tion and ot approximately 10.0UO
gallons capacity. An interesting
fact concerning this gas is that
enough liquitled gas is eora-i
pressed into
one ot these tank
cars to fill
train of tank cars
15U miles long with the gas in
its vaporized form!
As tbeso tanks arrive,. they are
placed on a siding at the gas
plant and unloaded into a butano
storage tank, if tbe atmosphere
preiisure is not sufficient to force
the liquid from the tank car. a
Hue may be connected from the
gas storage holder to the vapiri
ration space about the liquid in
the tank, which will force the
liquid from tbe tank car Into the
storage tank at a pressure ot
about 75 pounds per square inch.
in general, the pressure within
the tank car varies from 10
pounds to 20 pounds per square
inch. ,
HEATIXti l'LAXT
Each tank Is equipped with a
gauge to Indicate the contents,
which is never allowed to fall
below a two weeks' supplv for
the community which is being
served.
I'ndur this tank Is an electric
al heating device which heats the
liquid to the vaporization point.
