TO DRILL DEEP
WELL FOR OIL
Seattle Man Takes Contract to
Go Down $500 Feet-WiIl
Work Day and Night

What is regarded as the best oil
news that has come to the Benton
county field since development work
first started is the announcement that
a deep test well is to be sunk just as
rapidly as it is possible for the latest
improved machinery to penetrate the
depths of the earth.
The well is to be drilled by G. M.
Dyer, of Seattle, for two wealthy
men, whose names are not divulged.
The contract, which was signed in Sc
attle last week, calls for the drilling
to proceed to a depth of $500 feet
or until oil is struck. Mr.. Dyer is one
of the best known and most successful
drillers in the Northwest. He has
eight rigs now operating in Washing
ton and British Columbia. For the.
Benton county we'll he has ordered the
largest size standard combination rig
in San Francisco and will start op-
erations just as soon as the rig ar
rives and can be set up. Mr.. Dyer has
ordered the combination rig in the
hope that when the heavy bit has
pounded it's way thru the basalt rock
which underlies the field he can use
a rotary drill. He has ordered
heavier casing that has ever been
used in the field and will equip his rig
with every modern appliance for
speeding up drilling.
The contractor hopes to get start
ed in thirty or forty days. He will
start with three 8-hour shifts and
will operate continuously day and
night.
The men back of the enterprise are
men of wealth and have no stock to
sell. They have obtained lease or
iginally held by Wrightsman on sec
tion of railroad land and have select
ed a drilling site about two miles
southeast of the big gas well.

PASCO TO HELP
us CELEBRATE
Will be No Celebration Across
the River this Year-L00ks
Good, Says Brown

Benton county leads the state in the
condition of winter wheat, according
to the government crop reports for
May. Benton county's 23,100, acres
| is listed at 107 percent. The next
best showing is in Klickitat county
where the winter wheat shows up at
LOG per cent. The summary of the re-
port follows:
Washington's prospective winter
wheat crop alone viii exceed her COM
bined 1918 winter and spring wheat
production by over 100000 bushels.
The 992, 900 acres seeded last fall came
thru the winter with but $50 loss.
A condition of 9996 normal May 1st
indicates a production of 26,846, 800
bushels to be harvested from 962, ,230
acres. Last year 49os of the acreage
was abandoned leaving 401, 900 acres
from which was harvested 9,424,000
bushels.
Loss from actual winter killing was
slight owing to- the mild winter. The
bulk of the reseeding resulted from
wire worm and wind damage, especial
ly in the Big Bend countries. Cool
weather in April was favorable to the
wire worms. In practically all inn
portant winter wheat counties, pros
poets appear unusually, bright. The
important factor in the Big Bend coun-
ties is that the soil carries more mois-
ture than for number of years back.
With the insignificant acreage aban-
donment of 1.19o lowest since 1900)
and May 1st condition of 100.59o,
the highest on record, the United
States has in sight a winter wheat
crop of 99,OOO,OOO bushels to be har-.
vested from 48,224,OO0 acres. Last
years crop amounted to 558, ,449, 900
bushels, harvested from 36,704, 900
acres.

and maybe $3.50. The demand for ex-
port is going to take all of the apples
from 175s to 225s, which is bo1nd to
male strong demand for the large
apples that will be left for the coun-
try to consume.
Cherries will be very high, also
peaches. For the latter fruit the grow
ers should receive 90c to $1.00 per box.
Fancy pears such as Bos Comice and
Anjou will sell readily at $500 per
box for the fancy grades.
Growers all feel jubilant over fine
crop prospects and they have a reason
to be on account of the price they are
going to receive for all varieties this
year."

POLICE FIND BOOZE
IN GREASE BOX ON
INTERURBAN CAR

A most expensive grease was dis
covered TO be in use on the trucks
and axles Of the Northern Indiana
railway interurbans running between
South Bend and ST. Joe, Mich. last
night when Sergt Hozinsl1i and Pa
trolmel Bloom. Sailor and Detzler
on their examination OF the 1925
car from st. Joe, fished out eight
quarts OF real live whisky from the
grease box under the front trucks.
The search OF the 1905 car is
nightly occurrence, but until last
night nothing of Importance had
ever rewarded their efforts. Accord
ing 10 big Bill after the passen-
gers had left the car at the station
he and his men boarded IL and rode
20 the barns. Here, aided by Motor
man o. c. Messick and Conductor
J. a Lewis the car was gone over
thoroughly and evidently without
result. when Big Bill" noticed that
in his conscientious search Motor
man Messick had overlooked one OF
the grease boxes and which. when
finally pulled open yielded the eight
quarts Of high explosive grease.
Upon being questioned the two
men in charge Of the car seemed TO
be as much surprised as the officers
and could give no clue as 10 where
the whisky came from or TO whom il
belonged. officer Bloom expressed
surprise at big Bits" unerring &C
curacy in making the discovery. aud
advanced the theory that big Bits
nose could tell the difference bs-
tween care grease and foreign liquor
and guided him TO the nest. big
Bill" admitted that he could readily
distinguish the difference, but de-
ried that such was the case in this
incident officer Detzler wondered
how any self respecting interurbon
could get safely home with such a
load tucked under its belt; while
Omcer Sailor stated that most any
railway is likely to fall down on its
dividends when il used such an e1-
pensive brand OF grease.
