BAKER EXPRESSES ITS
OPPOSITION TO ROAD
BOOSTED BY PORTLAND
Finish Important Commercial
Highways First Before Start
is Made on Scenic Ones.

Further opposition to the construc-
tion of the Umatlla- -Wallula cutoff
is developing in Eastern oregon. A
letter has been received from the
commercial organ zation of Baker in
which the statement is made that the
club there has gone on record as OPP
posed to the construction of the road
which is being foscered by the Port
land Chamber of Commerce
Pakcr is particularly interested in
seeing the Old Oregon Trail and the
John Day road built before any more
construction in the way Of state work
is started in this section of oregon.
The opinion is put forward by the
Baker organization that there is a
tendency in some parts or the state
to put scenic roads before commercial
roads in point of importance. Baker
county has plenty of scenic points
which could be advantageously adver-
tlsed if roads were built but in the let
ter II is stated that the policy Of the
community is to see the established
roads completed before starting on any
others. The building of roads by ore
gon for the greatest benefit OF the
greatest number of Oregonians Is a
policy set down by Baker,
4 protest against the action of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce in
sanct oning the road has been sent by
the Commercial Club of Pilot Rock
according to information received by
the Pendeton Commercial Assoca-
tion.

alfalfa OIL WELL
DOWN 1000 FEET

The Columbia basin oil well at At
talia is now down to a depth Of 1000
feet and the men In charge are very
optimistic according to Charles Beh-
rens who Is here today. Concerning
the outlook for oil at the Alfalfa well
Mr.. Behrens said:
"The confirmation has been provid-
ed in statements made by geologists
from several oil centers that the Co.
lumbia Basin oil field is true field
and a large one. One eminent geolo-
gist stated that this field would prove
second to none but the big fields of
Mexico. The present showings of the
Columbia Basin Oil Co. well at Alfalfa
prove this statement q big possibility.
The oil showing has been big for
months and continues better as ope-
ration continues.
1.-THE oil coming from this well Is 4
genuine crude oil with a parrifine
base. The Columbia Basin we'll is now
past 1000 feet deep. The present for
nation is a crystalized carboneous
lime mixed with fossil and shell. One
continuous layer of black lime rock
about $50 feet thick was drilled
through and carboneous shales and
marvel formations were also en-
countered. The gas pressure at pres
ent is enormous and is variously esti-
mated at from Q to 10 million CUBIC
feet daily. Drilling continues "a hours
per day excepting Sunday. There Is
no operation from ~ p. m. Saturday
: till after 12 p. m. Sunday"

LITTLE RED HEN IS
WELL WORTH ITS KEEP

TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. 15.-U. n. 50
Who said the little red hen" was
not worth its keep
When the Louisiana Purchase was
made more than a century ago many
citizens throughout the nation Sc
verely critized the Government for
wasting money Yet in 1920, accord
ing to figures compiled by the state
Board Of agriculture, the Kansas hens
alone produced and represented more
than twice enough wealth to pay the
original cost Of this immense area of
the United States.
That the hen of Kansas is a distinct
asset Is revealed by the fact that in
1920 the hen produced almost s21,-
000 900 worth of poultry products,
which, II divided equally among the
$4,000 farms Of the state, would give
