New Company
To Go After Oil

The S. Hugh Hale Company Of
Kansas City, Mo-, is the latest COM
pany to enter the Benton county
gas and oil field and will begin de-
velopment work at once on the D..
C. Hansen quarter in 36-12-25..
The Hale company has had men
in the field for some time and a
short time ago made overtures to
Mr.. Hansen for lease on his prop
erty. This quarter is located about
half way between the present gas
we'll and the Benson ranch and lis
about four miles from the gas we'll.
Lois G. Chapman, the expert and
locator for the Kansas City con-
cern, has spent some time in the
field and is optimistic as to pros
poets. Surface indications are of
the best and his company, relying
on his judgment will make thor
ough test.
A standard rig will be put on
the ground at once and actual drill
ing will begin at the earliest mo-
ment possible.
According to Mr.. Hansen's con-
tract the first we'll must be COM
pleted within twelve months.
This coming in of foreign COM
panies is an encouragement for the
ones who have done the pioneering
in the Benton county field, and
will undoubtedly have the effect of
substantiating the fact that their
judgment was sound. Prosser In

Millions OF Power
Running to Waste

People generally all over the
west are DESTROYS that congress pass
some law that will unlock the vast
water power resources of the west
ern states, which cannot be done
under the present laws.
Millions of dollars are being ex-
pended in France in developing the
water powers of the Alps, in order
to secure cheaper power than that
had from coal, which is short in
amount and growing higher in
price.
In the valley of Durance new
plants aggregating 74,O00-horse
power are being erected for the
electro chemical industry, while
above Modane one of the biggest
chemical plants in France has &C
CURED rights to about 100000
horse power. This project alone,
when completed, will reduce coal
consumption by 100000 tons an
nually.
The Seattle Post Intelligepcer
says: In the United States, par
ticularly in the far western states,
water power development has been
automatically suspended for years
by the action of the government in
withdrawing .all sites on public
lands from entry and by the neglect
Of congress to pass laws which
would permit the development of
the water power on the sites so
withdrawn.
In appealing to congress for &C.
tion on this matter, Secretary Lane
pointed out that these powers could
not be developed under existing
laws for three reasons: because of
the uncertain tenure involved by
revocable permits; because capital
lists will not loan money on such
security, and because the corsum-
ers can have no assurance that they
will be supplied for fixed and
definite period. He states that
numerous responsible persons who
have taken permits under existing
law have been unable to develop
power plants because of these facts.
Yet congress neglects to act, and
in the name of conservation mil
lions of tons of coal are burned up
each year in communities which
might readily be served in full by
power developed from water.

Sulphur=Lime

To cook one barrel $50 gallons)
of Sulphur-Lime, the vessel in which
it is cooked should hold about 100
gallons, in order to keep the liquid
from splitting over when it is boil
| ing.
VAT
A simple way to cook the Sulphur
Lime is to make vat about 8 feet
long, 2 feet wide and IL inches
deep. Use a galvanized iron bot
TOM and side pieces of lumber 8
8ft.x12in. KIN, rounding the ends
up. Place this so that good fire
can be built under it. Make a lid
or cover that will fit fairly tight,
notch same at one end, so that the
liquid can be stirred without rails
ing the lid.
FORMULA
Stone Lime so pounds
Powdered Sulphur ITO pounds
Water 50'gallons
Put from Is to 20 gallons of
water in the cooker and start the
fire going. Weigh out the sulphur
and mix it with water until it is in
the form of paste. Then weigh
out your lime. When the water is
hot add the lime and the sulphur
paste. Stir sufficiently to keep the
lime shaking nicely. As soon as it
is thoroughly slaked add sufficient
water to make so gallons in the
vat. Mark the inside of the vessel
by driving nail just where the
liquid comes to. Fire up and
bring it to a boil as quickly as
possible and boil as minutes. Add
a little water occasionally to keep
the amount of liquid up to so gal
Ions. Stirring with hoe or scrap
err is necessary from time to time,
while cooking. Then drain off and
strain into barrels and allow to
cool. Test with hydrometer and

This States New
Office of Markets

duce is one of the most serious
problems confronting the American
farmer today. In the northwest
this problem is especially difficult
owing to the long distance between
larger centers of population and
regions of productions. The state
of Washington ranks high in the
quality and quantity of its agricul-
tural products. and if adequate
markets are available the agricul-
tural prosperity Of the state is as
sured.
Mindful Of this situation, the
1917 legislature wisely passed an
act creating state Office of farm
markets, providing FOR director
of markets and assistants who shall
give their time tosthe investigation,
encouragement, development and
improvement of marketing condi-
tions in the state. The bill was
formulated and introduced by Sena-
tor Ralph Metcalf of Tacoma, one
Of the foremost students of agri-
cultural economics in the west to-
day. Senator Metcaf was one of
Washington's representatives on the
National Commission on Rural Cred
it and Cooperative Organization
sent to Europe four years ago and
he has, during the past two years,
made a careful study of marketing
departments in the various states
of this country, embodying the re-
suits of this work in the law re-
Gently passed.
The law provides for an investi-
cation of methods of distribution,
transportation rates, methods of
reducing wastes, costs of market
ing, and is designed to assist in
every way possible in the improve
ment of marketing conditions. The
maintenance of market news SER
vice is provided for, as is also CO.
operation with the Office of Mar
kets, U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, thus bringing to the assist
ance of the people Of the state the
full power of the federal and state
government in coping with this i'm
portant problem.
The law provides for a director
of farm marketing, appointed by
the director of the state expert
ment station, by and with the APP
prevail of the governor. 1t will,
therefore, devove upon DR.. Ira B.
Cardiff, director Of the experiment
station. to organize the new Office
of markets and supervise its work
The. utilization of this new Office
with the experiment station will
have the result of closely co-ordin-
ating the problems Of agricultural
production with those of distribu-
ton and marketing.
The act carries an appropriation
of $4,000 for the biennium, which,
while small as compared to such
appropriations in other states, new
ertheless will allow the state to
make a beginning in this line and
effectively cooperate with the fed
eral marketing departments and
also local marketing organizations.
The act is a piece Of wise and con-
structive legislation which will
doubtless have reaching conse-
quences in the economic develop
ment of the state.

N. D. DOES NOT PLAY
FRESHMEN ON VARSITY

Notre Dame students were indig-
nant at the publication in Tuesday
mornings Chicago papers of an in
situation on the part OF Marquette
college authorities that the Univer-
sity Of Notre Dame is not strictly
following all conference rules Of
eligibility. The specific charge was
that the local school has and does
use freshmen on her varsity teams.
This is directly opposed TO the five
year long policy closely adhered to
at Notre Dame.
The story probably originated
over the playing of Dudley Pearson
It the Washington and Jefferson
game at Washington, Pa, last Sat
urdav Pearson attended Marquette
last ear, and authorities there are
probably working under the delu-
sion that he has but freshman
standing here this year The facts
Of the case are. however that
Pearson attended a full scholastic
year at Notre Dame, commencing
September. 1915.

FEARS TWIN BILLS IF
SCHEDULE is CUT DOWN

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S. - Numerous
double headers will result from any
attempt to compress a schedule of
154 games into FIVE and One-half
months in the opinion of B. B..
Johnston, president Of the Ameri-
can league, Tuesday.
He said that he favored reducing
the American league schedule to
40 games, but if the National
league decides TO retain the 1874
game schedule that it would be nee
essary for the American to play a
like number in order 10 avoid con-
fiicting dates.
Playing two games for one ad-
mission cheapens the sport" said
Mr.. Johnson and creates in the
minds of the fans the belief that
they are not getting their moneys
worth out of a single game of nine
innings Double headers have done
more TO injure professional ball than
any other one thing.
Some Of the minor leagues have
played the double header card 20
the limit and owe much of their
financial from bile TO that fact"
