Profits From Gas.
Moreover, the profits from the gas
produced on this property promise

rived from the oil itself. To illus
trate. a well which will produce 1000
barrels per day in this portion Of
tbe field may be depended upon to
produce from 100000 to 100000
cubic feet Of gas per day. By the
installation Of proper equipment
about two gallons Of exceptionally
fine gasoline can be extracted from
each 1000 cubic feet Of gas. This
would mean from 1000 to 2000 gal
Ions of gasoline from well each day.
The distillation of the gasoline from
the gas reduces the quantity OF gas
not to exceed 20 per cent, and the
so per cent Is practically
as rich in heat units as before the
gasoline is extracted. This, there
fore. would leave from 100000 to
800 900 cubic feet of gas each day
from one we'll in addition to its OH
and gasoline product, and the day is
coming in the near future when
here will be just as eager market
for the gas as for the oil.
Considering the demonstrated
richness of the oil sands, the quality
IF the oil and the price paid there
FOR, the almost unlimited quantities
IF gas and the richness Of this gas
n gasoline, we consider the evidence
conclusive that the imme-
liate locality in which the Polk
County Oil Company tract is situa-
ed is one of the richest, if indeed,
lot the very richest portion Of the
state of Oregon.

There are today about 10000 aero

An aeroplane is nothing more than a

various duties devolving upon us us
to our obligation to our fellow man,
but somewhere in the human heart
there is chord which vibrates in sym
pathy with struggling humanity; some
where in the human bosom there Is an
impulse which beats in the interest Of
those striving not for supremacy. but
for mere existence.
So mad is our rush for things ma
terial and so eager are we to gain
ascendency one over the other that
we have lost sight of the surging
masses in quest Of knowledge and Of
the real benefit we may be to each
other as We journey through this
earth land
What is it that has given to the age
in which we live this unsurpassed and
unrivaled civilization: 1t is the fact
that man has given to the world what
God has given to.him.

There. is nothing SO helpful to the
human family as cOntact-an exchange
Of ideas. This can be most effectively
seen through such agencies as your
literary society affords
A literary society must Ike made at
tractive and entertaining, must use as
much Of its home talent as is practi-
cable Use all who are ambitious along
intellectual lines, and soon others will
feel that they. too, might have some
latent or dormant talent which needs
but to be aroused or awakened.
Many Of us have received our first
literary impulse from debating con-

Don't wait for gigantic movements.
Everything has had a beginning. The

Fine clothes will not make us the
