Suit Against Oil & Gas
Company Settled.

An important matter that will
be of great benefit toward ex-
ploring the possibilities of oil in
this territory was settled this
week when the suit against the
promoting company by creditors
was dismissed thus giving the
company an opportunity to again
proceed with the test well now
down over 1000 feet. j. C.
Turney left for Portland this
week where he will interest peo-
pie in the proposition and attempt
to raise funds with which to pro-
secute the work. Considerable
money has already been spent in
securing a good drilling outfit
and machinery is pronounced of
the best. With no debts hang
ing over it the concern should be
able to raise funds with which to
sink the well deeper and find
what the prospects are down
deep.
Gas has been found in many
places in this Valley and there is
every reason to believe there is
oil in paying quantities. this be-
ing bourn out by scientific in
vestigation and so far the test
has shown the geologists to be
right in their predictions. 1t is
to be hoped they may now pro-
ceed without any further delay
and establish the fact that we
have oil here in commercial
quantities.

O.-W. r. & N. Com
pany Budget.

According to a Portland paper
the officials of the o. w. r. &
N. have asked for an immense
sum for the coming year in car
rying forward the work of the
railroad for this year but moth
ing is asked for the extension
from Juntura west to this Valley.
Just what will be done we are
unable to say. 1t is possible this
work has been provided for in
some other way, or possibly the
directors in New York may make
provision for it. At any rate il
is confidently predicted that the
line will be extended to this
Valley during this year.

To our Friends and Patrons:
The year now drawing to CLOSE has
been one OF the most satisfactory and
SUCCESSFUL or our career. During the
year OF 1913 larger volume OF bust-
ness was transacted through our 1nst1-

our history. Within the past sixty days
more new accounts have been opened with
US than in any like period heretofore,
while our books now contain a larger
number OF depos1tors than ever before--
a silent tribute to the fact that our
business me thods have met wit the pub
1to's generous approval, and that our
banking policies have proven right un-
der the exaot1ng test OF time.
During the past year we have In
creased our OFFICE force, have further
perfected our carefully devised system
OF handling the large volume OF bus1-
ness commt ted to our charge, and have
added the newest and latest office
equt pment, SO that We are now enabled
to render better and more efficient
service to our patrons than at any time
In the past.

Beneficial Use" 10 Basis of
Right to Use Water

Under the laws of water rights
as established by legislation and
court DEGREES in the arid states
of the west, the final test of q
right to water for irrigation is
that the water claimed shall be
put to a beneficial use. AS ex-
pressed by the laws of several
states, beneficial use in the basis,
the measure, and the limit" OF
rights to water. These laws,
however, do not attempt TO de-
fine beneficial use."
At conference of the project
managers of the United States
reclamation service and repre-
sentatives of the department of
agriculture, held at Salt Lake,
November 1915. a resolution at
tempting such a definition was
adopted. This definition is some
what long and detailed, but in
substance is as follows:
A water user is entitled to that
amount of water that will rend-
er him a reasonable maximum
amount of good with a reason
able economic handling Of the
water" He is entitled to the
protection of the state in this
right, but, in return the state
has a right to demand that he
use reasonable care and judge
ment in conveying and using
water and cultivating his crops.
The conference adopted also a
definition of economical use, 4"
which was in substance as follows:
Since the water supply avail
able for irrigation in the western
states is adequate for only a re-
latively small percentage of the
entire irrigable acreage, the
fundamental standard of economi-
cal use must be the financial re-
suits accomplished per acre-foot
of water applied, rather than the
yield per acre irrigated. In fut-
ure development the doctrine of
beneficial use must in many cases
merge into or be supplanted by
that of economic use. The doc
trine of beneficial use looks to
individual interest; that of
economic use to the general well
fare of society as a whole. So
far as possible, water charges.
systems of distribution, and re-
gulations should be so adjusted
as to make the interest of the
individual water user coincide
with this public interest. Port

FARMERS SHOULD
BUILD CORN SILOS

1. Because corn in the silo Is like
money in the bank-ready for use
when most needed.
2. Because silage is the best, cheap
est, most economical and generally
satisfactory green feed for dairy COWS.
8. Because silage fed in winter main
tains the herd in healthy condition
and increases production without in
creasing cost -
4. Because silage will supplement
help to prevent that July-August
slump which no amount OF grain-feed-
ing can overcome.
5. Because corn, our most produc-
tive forage crop, by means of the silo,
can be harvested with less labor, less
expense, less waste and in better con-
dition to feed than by any other
method.
6. Because the silo takes care of the
corn crop before frost or In case of
early freezing, saves what otherwise
would be total loss.
z. Because it removes the crop from
the ground early, leaving the field free
for plowing or other purposes.
s. Because it saves labor summer
and winter; makes 1t possible to raise
more feed and to keep more cows on
the same acreage and substitutes GER
tainty for uncertainty in the manage
ment of the herd to an extent impossi-
BILE in any other way.
9. Because the silo yields greater
returns in proportion to cost than any
other building on the farm.
TO- Because while COWS are in the
dairy business "for their health" the
farmer isn't-always. Enough said.
