A representative Of the Standard
Oil company was in White Bluffs
the first of the week and said that
his company is considering this
place as a distributing point for
the Columbia river district. At

lensburg. If the company decides
to establish plant here it will
mean the addition of a few families
and that all the oil sold by the
Standard people between Beverly
and Richland will be distributed
from this point. 1t also means
that those using oil in this terri
tory will be able to buy it cheaper.
