PLENTY OF PETROLEUM

Riverside Press: The petroleum sit
uation has been misunderstood because
figures dealing with the available sup
plies have been mostly confined to the
''pool'' deposits, which flow more or
less freely from drilled wells. Such
production has admittedly reached its
peak and is due to start declining un-
less unforeseen discoveries should be
made.
But that i; only one source. Though
the easiest and ekeapest, it represents
mere fraction of the total oil in
sight. There are vast, rich shale de-
posits practically untouched, says DR..
engineering III Columbia university:
1T is not commonly appreciated
how large these shalc deposits are.
If we conaioer only those oil
shales which will furnish barrel
of A. gsllons or better, of petrol
cum per ton of shale, we have in
the Green river section of Color
ado, Utah and Wyoming alone suf
fieient to furnish $4,000, 100000
barrels of petroleum, which amount
is eight times larger than the ,
total of the wells petroleum. that
this country has produced since
Colonel Drake drilled the first oil
well in 1859 at Titusvillc, Pa
This is also more than five times the
| total production of the world since
petroleum became i commercial product
| so years ago. And it is by no means
AL. There are big deposits in Nevada,
California, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio,
/ New RTInnsWirk and toya Srofia and
others in various parts of the world.
Many of then, will give as much as so
gallons of oil to Il ton.
| The extraction of this shale oil seems
bound to hccomc big industry in the
future, supplying the nation S petrol
| cum needs for hundreds of years to
come, just as the Ignite of Montana
and North Dakota viii replace our an
thracitc and bituminous coal when they
are exhausted.

In all this discussion of the question concerning sol
dier bonus overlook the fact that Uncle Sam is
already paying boys who the khaki the of
$5OOOG0O00 annually. Whatever opinion we may hold as
to the advsabty rather the possibility of paying the
bonus proposed good for the public morale to
the preservation of spirit of patriotism to find
with the and to thus weaken the regard
in which it is held. The government in country like this
is nothing less than the expressed will OF the
people The is the people themselves 1T is not
possible for the people forget the sacrifices made
by their soldiers. The half billion they are already
paying every year behalf of these soldiers small
sum It equals half the entire national debt at the begin
ming of the world But the world has been plunged
into such and financial chaos that have quit
thinking in millions and thinking only in billions.
So whatever happens let hold fast to that Intangible

The Press doesn't the least expect reduction
the price pays for gasoline at the red stations for say
ing good word for the distinguished of them, but
will nevertheless venture word of commentator OF
Uncle Jawn 1t is reported that he decidedly opposed to
any of his breed marrying foreigners that to he
sists that their alliances shall be with of American
breeding and of American aspirations with the hint that
otherwise they shall be cut off from the inheritance of
American dollars that he controls.
We think it will be admitted that this is pretty good
American heresses have had deviloatme of it
with those European fortune hunters and Uncle Jaw nnows
it. But that is only the personal side of it. The bigger
thing is that it is what may properly be term
ed Unaercan Why should the good, hard goal that has
been wrung out of the American people at literally every
mark the road be turned to foreigner who casts
furtive glances at pretty heress who has dowry of
ducas big enough to sink battleship? They should not
be- hope Uncle Jawn correctly quoted by the gos
sips who camping round about him and his.
We do not know just what American youth we would
pick for an alliance with the Rockefeller granddaughter
and we might not be doing him favor if should do the
pcking but let praise be withheld from Uncle Jawn
for the good Anerioanim that is being ascrbed to him.
