JEFFERSON WELL
IS PROGRESSING
Manager Woodard and Party
are In From Hob River
For the Holidays
WELL IS DOWN 800 FEET
In Sand Formation With Con
tinual Flow of Gas. Flow
ing Well in z Months

Manager George Woodward, of the
Jefferson Oil Co., and Sidney Hubble
and Frank johnson came in from the
Hob river Monday to spend the holi-
days, having walked from the Jeffer-
son well to Moclips. fifty miles, in II
hours.
'It was some hike, alright, but I'm
not a bit sore," said young Hubble.
Five of us started, but Aart Salmon
and Gus Bucher got little behind and
undoubtedly had to climb over the
mount in instead of making it through
the Devils Hole" on the beach. We
were just in time and had to wade to
make it ourselves"
Hubble is satisfied the company will
strike oil and if found at the depth
expected it will be found within the
next two months. The we'll is down
now 800 feet.
eve are now in a sand formation, :
he says, "and there is continual flow
Of gas up along the sides of the cas-
ing. Besides that we have struck two
gas pockets-that is pockets where
there was sufficient gas to blow the
water and mud out of the casing. We
have been having lot of difficulties
with cave-ins but from now on we
think we have things so they will &C
right along. We are running the drill
all of the time night and day-yes,
even now when we are out the drillers
are at work. They had their vacation
little while ago when we broke down
We will go back Monday.
1--WE are confident we will strike
oil. The best judgment is that it will
be struck under 1900 feet and we will
be that deep we hope by the first of
February. However we are prepared
to go 5000 feet deep
Until just the day before the five
men left. grub was getting a little
scarce. which just indicates how like
pioneers. these oil drillers are. There
are from II to II men there all the
time. They keep the "Albatross" as a
tender for the camp. About six weeks
ago she was sent to the Sound for
provisions. She returned off shore
three weeks ago, but the weather was
so rough she had to make for pro-
lection into one of the rivers further
down to where she could land the pro.
visions until last Friday.

ANNUAL REPORT.
FOREST SERVICE
More than Two Billion Feet
of Timber Sold Last
Year. Says Graves
POLICY OF THE SERVICE
Classification of Lands Pro-
crossing. Million Acres
Released in Year

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 22.-
More than two billion board feet OF
timber, with a value of Az million
dollars On the stump, was sold by the
forest service last year, according tl
the annual report of Henry S. Graves
forester, published today This is ar
increase of 1877 per cent. over the sales
of the preceding year. The timber
sold was largely for future cutting
under contracts that will run for a
number of years. The actual cut was
little less than 500 million boar
feet, an increase of Is per cent. over
1912. Still larger sales are in pros
pect.
Timber Sale Methods and Problems
The timber sale policy of the forest
service is summarized as aiming firsl
of all to prevent losses by fire, and
secondly to utilize the ripe timbe,
which can be marketed. Other aims
are to cut so as to insure restockins
and forest permanence; to get the full
market value for the timber sold: tc
prevent speculative acquisition and
private monopoly of public timber and
to maintain competitive conditions III
the timber industry so far as possible
to provide first for the needs of local
communities and industries; to open
lands of agricultural value to settle
ment without allowing them to be tief
up by timber spectators; and finally
to secure as soon as possible the cost
of production and administration tc
the government and revenue to the
national forest states, to which 20 2s
per cent. of all receipts.
A large number of national forests
already more than pay operating ex
| penses. The revenue from the Alask
an forests now exceed the cost of ad
ministration. The same is true gen
orally in the southwest.
Classifying Lands for Use.
One of the largest tasks of the serv
ice during the past year has been the
classification of lands within the ma
tional forests in respect to their high
est future use. This work was under
taken during 1913 on a more compre
hensive scale than ever before, be-
cause there was specific appropria
tion for the purpose. Large areas are
being classified where he amount OF
land chiefly valuable for agriculture
warrants it's being taken out of the
forests, and it also takes care of areas
on which detailed classification will
disclose small areas suitable for
agricultural development within the
forests. The work is being carried
on with the assistance of the bureau
of soils and the bureau of plant in
dustry. One result of this work was
the elimination of 100000 acres from
the Nebraska national forest, $4,000
acres from the Rainier in Washington
and 413,770 acres from the Deschutes
and Paulina. in Oregon. About 800
600 acres in small isolated tracts were
listed for settlement during the year.
The areas now being examined for
classification have total area OF
about three million acres.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 24.-Cooperation,
in which the farmers themselves
must take the lead, is the essential
need of agricultural America, the
Washington rural credit commission
ers, Senator Metcalf and Representa-
tive Black declare in their final re-
port to Governor Lister. In conclud-
ing their report, based on thorough
study of European methods, made last
summer, the commissioners state:
There are men who say co-opera-
tion will not work in this country and
point to failures as a proof We are
jusb beginning to learn the kinder
garten principles of cooperation and
failures are due to this lack OF know
ledge of what true cooperation is.
Cooperation cheapens and vastly
betters supplies; increases returns
and insures certain market:
strengthens human power and ability
for productive labor. Milk, eggs, meat
fruit, grain bringing better prices;
fertilizer, feed. implements, seed. all
agricultural necessities, cost less.
And further, indirect effects are diff
fusion of practical knowledge, re-
markable educational capacity, stimuli.

cultivate better, select the most profit

profitable and easier, the creation of
a high, prosperous, concentrated rural
civilization, the vital need of our time.
