May Pipe Gas To
Spokane

That Benton county may furnish
the city Of Spokane it's supply of
natural gas from the gas and oil
fields in the Rattlesnakes is indi-
Gated by the following news item
appearing in recent issue of the
Spokesman Review:
Commissioner Fassett was visited
Saturday by a committee from Ben
ton county interested in the nat
ural gas development in that Sec
ton. The Benton county men said
their first test we'll was now flow
ing 100000 cubic feet of gas
daily. and that another we'll with
l8-ineh pipe was now down 500
feet.
They felt that the supply of gas
is ample to justify piping to Spo-
kane, 1876 miles. Their idea was
to bring the gas to the city limits
and sell it to some distributing
agency. Commissioner Fassett as
sured the visitors that he would be
glad to cooperate with them in
every way when they got ready to
move.
What we want is cheaper gas,
whether artificial, natural, made
from wood or from other processes,
said Mr.. Fassett. "These men talk
as if they might be able to lay gas
down here so that it could be re-
tailed for SO cents a thousand.
That sounds good, and we sincerely
hope will materialize.
Spokane is now using about
100000 feet of gas a day, so that a
we'll flowing 100000 feet day
would be capable of supplying pres
ent needs. Gas has been piped as
far as 200 miles from eastern fields.
The present gas flow in Benton
county is coming from a compare
lively moderate depth of $50 feet"

Dutchess County.

Duchess county in New York was
named for the Duchess Of York when
the colonial assembly in 1858 divided
the province into twelve counties and
shires. There was also Duke coun-
ty, named in honor of the Duke of
York, but that name has since disap-
peared. There has been a good deal
of discussion as to the presence OF
the "t' in the word, and 1t has been
suggested that it has been retained
because Of some association with the
Dutch settlers. But it should be re-
membered that the English word
"duchess" was spelled with 1T" and
a final 80" until the publication of DR..
Johnson's dictionary, in 1865, standard
lzed its present spelling.-New York

5 .sARrNEss IN THE ARmy

One Of the best lessons soldier
learns. coming close to those of dis
cipline and orderly action. is that OF
"smartneSs." Indeed this may be set
down as part of discipline, and for
that reason in all the great training
camps the young men. newly from civil
life, are getting advice and instruction
on the point. says Omaha Bee. 1t
means that the soldier must be care
ful of his personal appearance. avoid
Ing slOuchinesS In dress or demeanor
as he would the plague The moral eff
fecr of this Is direct and easily recog-
nized. The smart soldier is good
soldier. and reflects in his bearing and
attitude the lessons of his training.
He Is alert. resourceful. and in all
ways dependable and efficient. The
American army does not stress this be-
yond reason, for IL is traditional to re-
tain as much of the individual quail
ties of the men as is compatible with
need for concerted action. This pol
icy has been of immune value in devel-
oping self-reliance and initiative, the
chief characteristic of the American
soldier. Proper relaxation essential
to personal comfort Is always permit
ted, and the combination of this ele-
ment with that of disciplinary routine
produces the best fighting organization
the world has ever known.
