Coal Beds Lie Nearly Flat.

All of the coal in this field lies nearly
flat and in what are commonly known as
blanket seams; that is. if coal outcrops
on one side of hill il probably extends
through and Will be found on the other
side OF the hill at about the same level.
so that the geOlOgist who can read tho
natural signs can trace coal bed for
miles, even though no coal is seen on the
surface.
Many ranchers appear to think that so
long as there is no coal in sight the land
cannot be classed as coal land This view
is obviously erroneous, for eN en- twenty
foot coal bed may be completely hid1e1
by a grassy slope, and yet by little dig
ginS may become a paying mine There
fore such an operation as shoveling down
the top Of a bank to conceal coal bed
at its base neither deceiVes the geologist
nor makes nOn-coal land out of coal land.
The fact that there is no coal at the sur
face in whole township does rot neces-
sarily imply that it is ncn-coal land
there may be a workable coal bed just
below the surface, fact TO be determined
by examining the geology of the sur
rounding area or by drilling.

at the surface there are several beds OF

these townships have now been examined

obtained only by revision of these laws

TWeedt States Position

I have been repeatedly asked
within the last few days what my
position is with reference to bond
ing the country to raise funds for
road building and also levying tax
for the same purpose. In reply to
these inquiries | will state am will
irg to bond the county for ten or
fifteen year period for improving
IT + public improvements, pro-
vi3ed a majority of the people OF
the county wish to bond. | deem
it good policy to have those who
settle here in the future pay part
of the cost of these Improvements OF
which they will get the full benefit.
l am not in favor of bonding the
county and at the same time levy
ing a tax Of five mills on the tax
payers for the same purposes be-
cause | believe this is too heavy a
burden for them to bear.

The Best Man
For County Sheriff

z. D. Ellis, Republican candi-
date for sheriff of Benton County
was born in Pike County, Illinois
in 1868, and is 40 years old. AT
the age of ii he struck out alone for
California, where he remained one
year. He then drifted back to Colo
RADIO where for ten years he lead the
life of a cowboy, being employed by
several of the large cattle companies
operating along the Arkansas River
in Eastern Colorado. In 1892 he
returned to his old home in Illinois
remaining several years. There he
was married, and again came out to
California remaining for about a
year, following range work.
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1908-10-30

Eight years ago he came to Wash
ingtou and located at Rosalia. AL
most Immediately after his arrival /,
he was appointed marshal OF
Rosalia, which office he held un-
interruptedly until his removal to
Kennewick, about two years ago.
While at Rosalia he was deputy
sheriff under sheriffs Joe Canutt and
Fred Ratliff of Whitman County.
In February, 1907 he was appoint
ed deputy marshal for Kennewick,
and later marshal. He is also dep
uty sheriff for Benton County.
Since arriving in Washington he
has been regarded as a trusted and
capable officer. He is widely known
throughout Eastern Washington,
and has number of friends in Ben
ton County who knew him in Whit
man County and are well acquaint-
ed with his official and private life,
and who speak of him in the high
est terms, both as an officer and a
citizen. By his efficient and up-
right conduct as an officer and citi-
zen he has endeared himself to the
people of Kennewick and the pub
lie in general, during his residence
in Benton County.
1t is evident from this brief sketch
that Mr.. Ellis, by his frontier train
ing before arriving in Washington,
and his long experience as an officer
in this state, is excellently equipped
for the office of sheriff. He is quiet
and unassuming, honest, sober,
clear headed and absolutely fearless,
and if elected sheriff, will be a credit
to Benton County.

BlalOck Island Changes Hands.

Title and ownership of the Bla-
lock Island situated in the Columbia
river below Paterson passed to a
new syndicate of Seattle parties and
a bridge will be put in on this side
of the river leading to it and the
business of the Company will be
handled from this side on account
of the fact that the transportation
facilities are better and because it
connects their interests, the same
parties being part owners OF the
Paterson Land Company owning a
large gas producer plant at that
place and who will next season irri-
gate 2U00 acres of land on the bench
just above the town of Paterson,
The Island is a part of Benton Coun-
ty tho separated from the main land
by an arm of the Columbia river.
Parts of the Island have been irri-
gated for five years or more and
some exceedingly fine fruit especi
ally peaches, has been grown. The
present irrigation pumping plant
has worked very satisfactorily and
the land owners are certain OF a
steady flow of water and plenty of
it in the future.
The new owners of the Island are
also the moving spirits in the Klicki

H. O. Hollenbeck, is the secretary,
