Development at
Gas Well PleaSeS
Large Crowd

A man standing at the Horn of
the Yakima Thursday watching the
procession of automobiles westward
would have come to the conclusion
that there was surely some attrac-
ton somewhere. And there was,
for there must have been, during
the day, at least hundred visitors
at the gas we'll out in the Rattle
snake hills.
The crowd went out Ito be
shown" 1t wanted to know what
all the fuss and feathers was
about-whether there was really
something there or whether the
big noise was some kind of a prop
osition to him-fam the people with
u stock selling scheme. And this
is what they found: The largest
well-drilling outfit ever brought
into the northwest, newly and SUBJ
stantially equipped and installed,
and housed under an 84-ft. der
rick; the drilling tools, which
weigh 1900 pounds, driven by a
gas-engine operated by natural gas
from the present we'll and nice
little town of several buildings to
house the workmen, neatly laid out
in picturesque spot in notch in
the hill. Water for the engine
and for drinking purposes is piped
1000 feet from big spring in the
hills to the west. Light and heat
for all purposes in the little town
is furnished by natural gas and in
Guided in the list are the two or
three big arc lights that furnish
the light at night.
Generally speaking the crowd
was favorably impressed with what
they found. The new hole, which
is being sunk about 1900 east of
the gas we'll, is down $50 feet, and
drilling is proceeding at the rate of
between S and 10 feet day. The
hole was started at Is inches but is
now down to Is inches, which size
they expect to hold for several hun
dred feet. The present outfit is
capable of going down $500 feet,
although the operators expect to
strike oil long before they reach
that depth. With an outfit capa-
BILE Of going to this great depth,
and with only the labor cost to
keep up the prospects of determin-
ing whether or not there is oil in
the field, seems in fair way Of
being settled.
A good sprinkling of the crowd
was from Hanford and White Bluffs,
some were from Prosser, a number
from Walla Wala, a few from Spo-
kane, and scattering from a num-
Der of other places.

Schicka-Moede Wedding

On Thursday evening at 6 clock
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Moede,
north of town, occurred the mar
riage of their daughter Minnie to
Paul Snhicka. Rev. l.. C. Krug
officiated. A big dinner was
served Immediately following the
wedding.
The newlyweds left Friday
morning for a honeymoon trip
over on the Sound. They expect
to be gone week and when they
return will take up their residence
in the house owned by Mr.. Schicks
near his blacksmith shop.
The bride has grown to woman
hood in White Bluffs and the
groom has been engaged in the
blacksmith business here for sew
eral years. The Spokesman joins
their friends in wishing them all
the good things this old world
can afford.

League of the county now think of
their pet Houston. AS most of
them live in the vicinity of Prosser.
his action Monday in showing the
white feather, in their opinion, was
probably angelic.
When served with the injunction
Monday, Clements and McNeill got
an order from Judge Linn allowing
them to appropriate $4,000 from
the county's funds with which to
hire attorneys to defend their &C.
lions next Wednesday. They have
hired w. w. Zent of Ritzville and
Edward Davis of Pasco. Davis
was defeated for judge in the last
election. This case seems to have
uncovered union or sympathetic
league of defeated candidates.
The real meat in the nut, though,
is set out in the allegations of those
asking for the injunction. The
purchaser of the bonds bid only
par and his interest rate is Sd per
cent. Authorities claim that with the
financial condition of Benton county
there are any number of bond buy
ers who would be glad to get them
with a 4 per cent interest rate.
This difference in the interest
charge on bond issue of 1925, 900,
stretched over period of 20 years,
it is figured, will cost Benton county
somewhere between $4,000 and
$4,000. "Who will get this side
money" is a question that is being
asked in good many quarters to-
day.
Possibly the county needs a
$125, 900 court house. And posi-
bly, it ought to be built in Prosser.
But until the voters have had an
opportunity to express themselves
on the question, it is a sure thing
that some one is either taking d
wild guess or is trying to put some
thing over. There are also other
possibilities, and there is at least
one cinch-and that is that "Jim''
Clements, as a political asset in
Benton county, is a total loss with
no insurance.

Promise Just
Price of Butterfat
Scars Skyward

Joining the procession of nearly
all other commodities, the price of
butter fat this week went to Al
cents pound at White Bluffs.
This price is net to the producer
and, incidentally, is the highest
figure ever received for the product
in this valley. The quotations are
approximately the same all over
the northwest, and authorities are
predicting much higher price be-
fore the peak load is reached.
This sharp advance in the price
of butterfat with the prospects
good for still higae. figure will
probably cause several dairymen to
stay in the business that would
otherwise quit. When the price of
hay and feed are taken into con-
sideratiop, as compared with the
price year ago, the margin of
profit for the dairyman is not as
great as one might think. Rolled
oats and barley a year ago cost the
rancher from $28 to $50 per ton.
This year the same feed costs him
from $42 to $45 per ton, or an in
Grease of approximately so per
cent. There is an increase of be-
tween 20 and Is per cent in the
price Of bran and shorts over last
year, and alfalfa hay that sold last
year at this time fsr $40 finds a
ready market now 1t $12 per ton.
So that, while the price of butter
fat is considerably in excess of
what it was year ago, the net re-
suit to the dairyman, when the
question of the cost of feed is taken
into consideration, is not great
deal more than it was last year.

Would Build
$4,000 Court
House at Prossef

Peeved, it is claimed, because
the east side of Benton county die
not roll up big majority for hin
for representative in the November
election, j. B. Clements, whose
home is near Richland, and who is
at present chairman of the board
of county commissioners, put in
with Alex. McNeill, commissioner
from the Prosser district, another
defeated candidate, and at meet.
ing of the board last Monday au-
thorized the issuance of $125, OOO
worth of county bonds for the pur-
pose of building a court house in
Prosser. Both Clements and Nc
Neill's terms expire on the 9Th of
next month.
AS the story comes to the Spokes-
man, no attempt was made to play
the game in the open, but
these two men expected to have
the cards so stacked that when they
did have to get into the open with
the proceedings they would have
the thing so far along that they
could not be headed off. The
bonds had all been lithographesf in
advance, the purchaser The
bonds, whose bid the commissioners
intended to accept, was lJohnny-on-
the-spot when bids were called for,
the chairman of the board and the
county treasurer had signed, or
were ready to sign, the bonds; in
fact, everything slid along as though
on creased skids, until some of the
taxpayers in the east end of the
county, who had got wind Of what
was going on. stopped the proceed
ings with a temporary injunction.
The hearing on this injunction will
be heard in Prosser next Wednes-
day. Judge Linn is resident of
Prosser, and for that reason it is
thought that he might be biased
and an outside judge will therefore
hear the motion, and decide wheth.
,er it should be sustained and per.
manent injunction issued prevent
ing the commissioners from taking
fur Their steps in the matter, OF
whether the motion should be dis
missed.
While Clements and Mcneil
were playing their little game, F
L. Bash from this district, the
third. member of the board, was
sitting on the lid and fighting like
wild man to head off the scheme
But the majority was against him
and he was treated as so much ex-
cess baggage. In fact, he is said
! to have got so obnoxious to the
other two Monday that they threat
ened to throw him out if he did
not hush up.
McNeill is serving the unexpirec
term of E. j. Ward, being appoint
ed by the other two commissioners
Lawyers claim his term expires
whenever his successor is elected
and qualities. E. c. Houston wa:
elected in November. 1t seems he
made some promises about moi
building any court house until {
majority of the taxpayers had re
quested it. Yielding to the plead
ings of those opposed to the scheme

wanted him in to head it off, hi
qualified last Saturday by filing hi
oath and bond. Sometime Sunda.
