WILL THE
Oil Boom
BE IN
Merrill or klamath Falls?
But feW people in klamath
Falls or Merrill eUer satO a real oil
boom. Very fe.D haUe any compre-
hension of Whaf one real oil boom is
like. Fe,j seem to realize that Wc are
actually on the Verge of one It's a
strange thing that in the tolOns lDhich
haue actually had oil boon,s, the To-
cal residents didn't as a rule Wake
up to their opportunities till the tDise
ones from the outside had come in
and grabbed up most of the big pro-
fits in stocks and property.
The first gusher in the World Was
struck in Beaumont, Texas, about
20 years ago. Beaumont Uas then
about the size of Merrill. When that
gusher Was struck, people flock
ed into Beaumont at the rate
of thousand a day for more than
month. An old barber had a ten
year lease on his shop at $I2 per
month rent. He sold his lease to the
first speculafor Who came along for
$500, the speculator got $50, 900 for
IL and bank lDas started in the old
barber shop. The hotel keeper oDn-
ed his building, Ga two-story frame,
on a big corner lot, lOorfh normally
$4,000 he sold out the first veek for
900, and Uithin one year his pro-
perty sold for 100000.
Stocks in companies Which Were
drilling at the time the gusher came
in had sold locally from a feW cents
to a dollar share Were Within feW
months Worth from $40 to az high
as $500 share. Fortunes sUere made
overnight. A hotel vaifress got
$4,000 for stock lOhich cost her
$40.
These conditions and opportuni-
ties haUe repeated Themselves in
every to,On that has brought in
gusher since then.
Indications Which are in plain
sight to everybody Who viH take the
trouble to go and see, and facts
Which are available to all Who wish
to Investigate, indicate strongly that
klamath County wiN bring in
gusher.
klamath Falls or Merrill or Fl.
klamath or bonanza may see just
such conditions .Oitlnn a year.
Isn't it important to you to put
some money, all you can spare, into
the Development Work Which may
help to bring in a susher? E

Bio Trade In Old Papers,

A curious item Of commercial news
is that the east coast district of the
island of Sumatra in 1918 imported
SS6,s35 pounds Of secondhand news
papers" from the United States. I'm
ports Of the same kind Of merchandise
from January to September /, Of last
year, were 572,5s5 pounds. The papers
are wanted to cover young sprouts Of
rubber trees and sugar cane. The cli-
mate of the island is very hot-as
might be surmised from the circum-
stance that the equator runs through
the middle Of it-and, to prevent the
sprouts burning up in the fierce sun
shine, sheets Of paper are spread over
them. Old newspapers serve the pur-
pose very well, each sheet being held
down with stones at the corners. In
Hawaii the same methodsof protection
is adopted, but in that archipelago
sheets Of rice paper, imported from
Japan, are used.

future AUTO MOTIVE POWER
Interesting Speculation as to What
Will Take the Place Of Fast
Diminishing Gasoline.

Gasoline will continue to 60 up In
price. A few years from now we
shall have to use something else as
fuel for our automobiles. The ques-
tion is, what?
The government bureau Of mines
thinks that we shall get the requisite
substitute from coal. In every city
there will be "by-product coke ovens, "
which will extract from the coal 9
light oil available for the purpose. The
coke can then be used in our furnaces
and for other ordinary fuel purposes.
One ton of soft coal in the process
of coking yields about three gallons
of oil first rate for motor fuel. At
present prices the heat in the oil has
20 times the commercial value of the
same amount of heat in the form OF
coal.
Germany during part Of the war was
practically shut off from every supply
of mineral oil. She depended for her
motor fuel entirely on coal, putting the
latter through by-product. coking
plants. Before long we shall be
obliged to do the same thing in the
United States.
Part Of the light oil in coal is toluol,
which in time of war is needed for the
manufacture of INT. Modern warfare
requires enormous quantities of the
substance for making high-explosiye
shells. During the first part Of the
war the allies came near defeat for
lack of 1t.
Another by-product from the coking
of one ton of soft coal Is 5000 cubic
feet of gas, available for cooking and
other household uses. The coke IT.
self makes an admirable smokeless
fuel for furnaces, If people could only
be persuaded to use 1t.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

Clemson College, March.--It is
not too late to spray fruit trees fol
the San Jose scale with commercial
lime-sulphur.
The Lady Thompson is one of the
best varieties of strawberries for the
home garden. Early spring is. ar
excellent planting time. Two hun
dred plants will supply the family
table.
Prepare to spray for the brown ROT
and plum curculio this season. Pur.
chase now the spray material, gooG
burnt lime-sulphur and arsenate Of
lead.
The following vegetables may be
planted now: beets, carrots, celery
kale, letture, onions, parsley, pars.
nips, peas, Irish potatoes, radishes
and spinach.
Start tomato plants indoors BY
sowing seed in a box, which should
be placed in sunny location. Earl
lana is good early variety.
Start an asparagus bed this spring
Sow seed or purchase crowns. Pal
metto is an excellent variety.

SEES INFLUENCE AS HANDICAP
Charles M. Schwab Insists That Char
aeter Is the Biggest Asset In
Modern Business.


Influence! The worst thing that can
happen to man is to start life with
influence. So declared Charles M.
Schwab in a talk to Princeton students
upon how to succeed in business, re-
marks Leslie's. Young fellows who
excuse their failure on the score of
having no influential friend to give
them q boost get cold comfort from
Mr.. Schwab, who has come up from
the ranks, and who now goes 80 far as
to advise any young man who has an
influence not to use it to get start.
Mr.. Schwab laid down as the first
fundamental of a successful life, "Un-
impeachable integrity" Character is
the biggest asset in business. A whole
array Of brilliant qualities will not
take the place Of this cornerstone sof
enduring success. The whole. tenor Of
Mr.. Schwab's heart-to-heart talk was
a new emphasis on the old-fashioned
qualities Of loyalty, industry and per-
sistence. The Soung man who pos
sesses these traits is bound to succeed,
for opportunity was never so great as
1t is to-day. No industry is more high
ly organized than the steel industry,
yet with all the progress made in the
last 20 years the industry Is far from
its zenith. So great is the magnitude
Of modern industry In all branches
that opportunities for leadership, in
stead Of decreasing as some imagine,
have actually increased in proportion
as industry itself has grown.

Evolution of Man Foreseen.

In one of his recent lectures Sir OIL
yer Lodge, eminent English scientist,
announced that the earth would prob
ably continue to exist for 20,00O,0
years more. These are, Of course,
round numbers. Some scientists esti-
mate that the earth will live for ten
times this age. There have been AMI
mails of one kind and another on this
planet for fully this length of time.
The dinosaurs are believed to hAve
lived through some such period The
age Of man, which is probably only
a few thousand years, seems the mer-
est trifle by comparison. When we
consider how man has developed dur
ing recorded history, which Is less
than ten thousand years, we may hope
that lie will evolve to an infinitely
finer type in the future.-Boys' Life.

son was watching, seemingly engrossed
in thought. Presently he asked: Papa,
why does God make dockweea?" On
receiving no satisfactory reply he set

GERMANS WAIT FOR A
MOVE IN BERLIN
Delegates in London Without Advices
NO Forecast Made-None Are
Able to Say What Action is
to Be Taken in Meeting
Allies.

London, March Awaiting ad-
vices from Berlin as to whether new
proposals are to be submitted to the
allies Monday, DR.. Simons, the Ger
man foreign secretary, and the Ger
man experts are busy framing a reply
to some of the arguments used by
Premier Lloyd George in delivering
the allied ultimatum yesterday. The
Germans strongly object to the ver-
dict of the allies that they were en-
tirely responsible for the war and the
premier's argument that if they taxed
themselves as France and England
had done they would be able to pay
what is demanded of them. They
claim that internal taxes, such as
those ON sugar, tobacco and spirits,
have not been taken into account, and
they are prepared to produce figures
showing the allies have underrated
their imposition.
With regard to the question OF
responsibility, for the war, the Ger
mans maintain the European powers
were equally at fault and cite re-
cent speech by Mr.. Lloyd George, in
which he is quoted as saying that the
world drifted into the war.
1T is hard to make a man who be-
lieves he is innocent say he is gull
ty," said one Of the delegates to.
day. GAS for myself, would rather
commit suicide than admit Germany
alone was responsible. Any govern
ment which made such an admission
would probably be overthrown. So If
the allies are determined to carry out
their demands, they must impose
them upon us; they soon will find
that the penalties which they out
lined yesterday will not produce what
they expect"
