Arbor Day
Observed

Arbor Day was very fittingly and
appropriately observed in White
Bluffs on Friday, the 18th, by tree
planting: and other improvement
work at the new.cemetery, which
noticeably added needed touch
of beauty that wonderfully relieves
the former barrennesso of our grave
yard.
A score or more of men put in a
good days work by fencing in %
acres with woven wire and locust
trees were planted around the in
side of the entire enclosure. The
goodly number of ladies present
served a splendid picnic dinner and
also were very much in evidence
driving staples, digging tree-holes
and otherwise making themselves
extremely useful as we'll as orna-
mental.
Some more work of necessity
must be done, but the boost on Ar
Dor Day gave decided impetus to
any further improvement that may
be done in the future.

A. l.. Rogers Makes
Some Timely Re-
marks on Schools

1t is time that our educational
leaders were made to understand
that there is a wide difference be-
tween learning and wisdom-that
wisdom comes only from mastery
of the fundamentals and concrete
things in life. Our whole educa-
tional system has run to diarrhea
of words in the abstract with a
constipation of practical ideas in
the concrete. 1t is time that sue
cessful business men take a hand in
educational matters. No subject is
so vital to the future progress and
welfare of our country. We must
get together and search out the
eternal fitness Of this educational
problem. The average educator
cannot do the job, for he has built
up his system the same as the Ger
mans build their words-it has be-
come correlative and he can not
cut out, transpose and reduce with
out spelling the entire system.
Our accredited highf schools have
been used as incubators to create
numbers in our higher educational
institutions. with an utter disre-
gard of scholarship, consequently
rs per cent of their student body
are misfits their whole attitude
of mind is to get finish at public
expense that will relieve them of
life's responsibilities and not for
the development of greater capac-
tiles for service in life's work.
All our children must be educat-
ed in the common schools, and it's
subject matter is the most import
ant of all departments in our ed
ucational system. 1t must be
strong on fundamentals so that if
they meet reverses, they may, by
their own initiative, grow into in
dependent and masterful citizen
ship, -resaF

mate, but in the same breath in

strawberries, yellow apricots or

The following, taken from the
Spokesman-Review, was contribut-
ed by A. L. Rogers of Waterville.
Mr.. Rogers was a member of the
state board of regents of the Uni
versity and on acco unit of his hav-
ing for long time been a student
of school matters, his opinions al
ways have more or less meat on
them:
"The pride of our people (be it
worthy or false) in their scho OILS
makes the subject a delicate one
for a layman to tackle, for like the
church, it's citadel is guarded by
walls and moats and inner walls of
tradition. The whole system lacks
responsible leadership an practical
purpose in it's general policy. We
are overlooking the fundamentals
AMI wasting the short and formula
tive period in the lives of our chill
dren on non-essentials, cultural
fads and mental gymnastics that
are void when applied to the real
things of life. The life of the in
dividual is all too short to waste
on non-essentials. 1t takes from
IA to Is years to get the average
child through the grade school,
and from 20 to 81 years to get the
average child through the high
school, and from 25 to 26 years to
get the average child through the
university. A post graduate course
means from % to 80 years and
God only knows how long it takes
to qualify Ph. D.
do know from statistics that
the average life of the individual
is 33 to 35 years, and if the aver
age boy has widowed mother to
support, he never could get to first
base in life's game if he depended
on our educational system as a
ground work for his future success.

Cows Here
Test Perfect

DR.. R. ]. Donahue, state veterin-
arian, accompanied by Lee M.
Lampson, county agriculturist. ar
rived in White Bluffs last Friday to
make tubercular tests upon the
COWS in this vicinity. Out of 1876
animals given the tuberculin not a
single symptom of the disease was
found-an unrivalled record for
bovine healthfulness that few COM
unities may boast. DR.. Donahue
and Mr.. Lampson left here Monday
for Hanford to test two COWS at
that place.

could be heard for distance and
that greatly resembled the noise
made by steam escaping from an
engine. The gas was ignited by
means of lighted piece of paper
on the end of a stick. With roar
that wa6 deafening for q few min
utes, and throwing off sufficient
heat to cause general falling
back of the crowd, the flame
leaped to height of perhaps 25
feet where it held for some little
time, gradually diminishing to 12
or Is feet during the half hour or
hour it was kept burning.
A sumptuous picnic dinner, with
bacon fried and coffee boiled with
real natural gas was no small part
of the days doings, after which
the party returned hcme.
Just as they were leaving the gas
we'll, G. A. Day, treasurer of the
Yakima Gas & Oil company, drove
up with a party of Yakima friends.
Mr.. Day said that two years ago,
stock men attempting to get artc-
sian water, strack gas at about TOO
feet. They abandoned. the we'll
and it went uncapped for long
time. A passing sheep herder set
fire to it one day and it burned for
several months, the flames being
visible at night for a great many
miles.
The tests made show that the
flow is between 100000 and 800
600 cubic feet per day. Reduced
to horse power, it would about
supply 500 horse power engine.
Or, if it were piped to Coyote Rap
ids, it would be just about sufTi-
cient to lift the amount of water
now being pumped into the Han
ford canal.
Mr.. Day says there are now
three different companies in the
field who intend tn actually sink
wells. He says it is probable that
the new wells will be sunk on diff
ferent sides of the present we'll, SO
when gas is struck, the pressure
will show which is nearer the main
body.
1t will probably take six months
or d year to determine if there is
actually large oil or gas field
there. In the meantime all one
can do is to wait and hope. In the
minds of many, the uncovering of
large gas deposit would be fully
as valuable to this valley as oil, for
the reason that all water for ir-
rigation must be pumped and the
gas could be had great deal
cheaper than electrical power at
the present price.
The whole district is aroused and
developments will be closely
watched.

White Bluffs Party
Tours to Gas Well
Returns EnthuSed

Carried in four cars, the follow
ing crowd of White Bluffs people
made visit Sunday to the gas
we'll: Mr.. and Mrs. John McFee,
Mr.. and Mrs. Roderick Sprague,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Beyers, Mrs.
R. d. Sapp, Mr.. and Mrs. w. j.
Kincaid, Mr.. and Mrs. e. j. O'Lar-
ey, Grant Agnew, H. W. Lemcke,
Andrew Codding, r. C. Maier,
Fred Bickle, Franklin Beyers and
Arthur Bishop.
Although the we'll is only IL
miles southwest of Hanford, it was
necessary, in order to have good
roads, to go around by the Horn of
the Yakima, the speedometer on
the Dodge car registering 81 miles
from White Bluffs to the we'll 1t
would have been only half that dis
tance. had there been a road
straight through from Hanford.
The first stop was made at the
Knutson ranch, where the Yakima
Natural Gas & Oil company is sink
ing it's we'll. This is about five
miles southwest from the gas we'll
already discovered. They are
working day and night on this we'll
and say they are making from 3 to
13 feet a day, depending on the ma
ture Of the strata they happen to
be passing through. They are
down about 600 feet and expect to
strike gas in the next 100 or 200
feet. Gas in the old we'll was
struck at about 700 feet but the al
titude of the new one is rs feet
higher.
Logs kept during the digging of
both wells are said to show a re-
markable similarity. Imbued with
enthusiasm and in hourly expecta-
tion of striking gas, the crew now
at. work on the new we'll create in
their visitors an optimistic feeling
that compels certain amount of
confidence in their undertaking.
Leaving the prospect hole" the
crowd proceeded to the gas we'll,
where they arrived at noon. The
we'll is cased and capped, although
a poor connection in one joint
causes a considerable leakage. The
casing is six-inch iron pipe, which
is reduced to two-inch pipe about
six feet above the top of the
ground A valve in the smaller
pipe, to turn the gas off and on,
aroused the curiosity of the White
Bluffs crowd, who wanted to know
if the gas were really there, and
what happened when the valve was
turned. The demonstration was
made with A. r. Beyers and H. w.
Lemcke performing the expert
work. When the valve was turned,

was Kissing, roaring sound that |

AS to the
w e athe r

The weather for the past week
has been skating along pretty
close to the ragged edge. Satur-
day night it slipped down to %
above zero, and on Monday night
dropped another notch to 27-the
danger point. Sunday night it
rained, as it did also on Wednesday
night. Altogether the week has
been an unsatisfactory one for the
early fruit grower, although in
quiry has failed to bring a report
of any damage, except to straw
berries, of which there is only a
small acreage in the valley.

1t is reasonable to assume that tho
number of stars in space having tenn
peratllre SO low that their radiations
do not affect our eyes or Photographic
plates is extremely large. That these
invisible stars are far more numerous
than the luminous stars is suggested
by +. a. Lindemann. who attempts in

ton of their relative number based on
the assumption that new stars morae)
are due to collisions. He concludes
that the:e are about 1909 times as
many dark stars as bright ones.
