Negotiations are said to be I'M
der way by a Tacoma syndicate
owning large acreage in Benton
county, for the purchase of gas
from the gas we'll out in the Rat
tlesnake hills, to be used as power
for lifting water to place under
cultivation some of the land lying
between Hartford and the gas we'll.
Water, it is said, can be found
within $50 to 200 feet of the sur
face in all that part Of the valley
and, gas being such cheap power,
it is believed the water can be lift
ed economically.
d. J.. Boag had the misfortune to
lose his registered Holstein bull
last Friday evening. He was all
right at noon, but when Mr.. Boag
went to feed him about 5 o'clock
in the evening he found him in dis
tress and before he could get help
the bull died. From his actions,
Mr.. Boag thinks he had somehow
gotten some poison in his feed.
Mr.. Boag says he has deal on for
the purchase of another thorough
bred bull and he expects to close
the deal any time. He also says
that he expects to leave in the near
future for Pendleton, where he
will close the deal for the purchase
of registered Percheron stallion.
