TO HELP SOLDIERS
FIND EMPLOYMENT
Placement Bureaus are to be Es-
tablshed in Every Commun-
ity in the State

Organization of placement bureaus
to direct returning soldiers and sailors
to employment will be effected in every
community in the state of Washington.
Instructions to call meetings of repre-.
sentatiyes of all war, patriotic and
civic organizations have been mailed
to the county chairman in every county
in the state by the State Council Of
Defense. At the organization meeting
management committee will be
formed of representatives of each or
ganization present. This. committee
will outline the definite plan of action
which, according to the national pro-
gram now being put into effect by the
United States Employment Service,
calls for the establishment of an office
which will be operated by someone CIV
ing his entire time where necessary to
the work. This office will be the clear
ing house in each community for jobs
for soldiers and sailors.
An organized campaign will be Sun-
dertaken by the management commit
tees to list every available position for
an ex-army or navy man.
Announcement that this plan had
already been approved of by the State
Council of Defense and the represen-
tatives of the U. s. !. Employment Ser
vice in this state. was made by Law
renee Wood, Federal Director of the
Employment Service. At recent
meeting in Washington, D. c., of the
national heads of the U. S. Employ
ment Service, National Council of De-.
fense, Jewish Welfare Board, Knights
of Columbus, Red Cross, Department
of Agriculture, Y. M. C. A., War
Camp Community Service, Salvation
Army and the Y. w. C. A., all organ
izations approved this nationwide
plan of securing jobs for the returning
soldiers and sailors. Heads of va
rious organizations in this state have
been notified by the national officers
to place the services of their organiza-
tions at the disposal of the Employ
ment Service in this work.
The State Council of Defense, be-
cause it was an organization that ex-
tends into every community, was Sc
ected for the work of organizing the
placement bureau. In cities where reg
llarly established offices of the U. S.
Service are located, these
,ffices where practicable will be des-
gnated as placement bureaus for re-
,urned soldiers and sailors.

IT'S COLD

Since Monday night the mercury in
the thermometer tubes has not crept
very far away from the zero mark, al
tho as yet it has not hit that mark.
The lowest temperature was recorded
Tuesday night when the government
thermometer registered two above
zero. The forecast for tonight and
tomorrow is fair with continued cold

for the sandy soil of this region, ant
the mild winters with little rainfall
give the fowls opportunity to fluff in
the sand practically all the year. Fur.
ther, the ground never becomes foul
or contaminated when large flocks
are kept, as is the case on the coast
on account of the constant rains in the
winter season.
And lastly, nearness to the great
coast markets and with rail and wa
ter competition to reduce the cost of
transportation, eggs and poultry will
command the very highest prices.
The poultry industry in the Kenne-
wick valley will therefore become more
and more important and productive as
time goes by. Last year there was
paid out to the poultry producers in
the vicinity of Kennewick by The Pro-
duce Company for poultry and eggs,
the sum of $2S,123.66. The Creamery
and several of the other merchants
have been large buyers of poultry and
eggs, so it is safe to say that at least
$50, 100000 worth of poultry products
have been marketed in Kennewick the
past year, an average of $136 for ev-
cry day in the year.
Miss Irene Sellick, one of the most
and successful producers
of poultry in the valley, for the year
ending October, 1918, sold eggs and
poultry to the value of $2512 with
net gain of $1100 over cost of feed.
This is not bad income for young
girl in war time, and poultry is only a
side line on the Sellick Farm and is
solely by Miss Sellick.
c. C. Cantwcll of the &c Egg Ranch
is another of the successful ranchers
who shipped the past year to Spokane
BIB cases, total of $500 dozen eggs.
This showing could no doubt be dupli-
lated on several other ranches of the |
valley.
The people engaged in this work are
lappy over the possibilities that sur
-eund the industry. There is very lit
lie hard toll in connection with the |
business A tired face or a discour-
lged face is an extreme rarity among |
he poultry keepers. Late frosts in
he spring and early frosts in the fall, |
shortage of water, hot winds, pests,
wen the occasional breaking of the.
canal does not materially l
fleet the business, for men have to eat
nd eggs and poultry are about as cas-
ly raised as anything in the meat line.
Get into the game, then, and start 7

alfa ,,s raw materials are turned into

POULTRY FARMING APAYING INDUSTRY
More Than Eight Thousand Cases of Eggs were Shipped

Note-Wc are beginning this wees
a series of articles on poultry raising
in the Kennewick valley by Rev. F. l.

possibilities of the poultry industry in
this climate. An outline of Rev. Fra

"Oh, yes, that is where they grow the

which is literally true. Kennewick is
the place where the choicest berries
are raised - rich-flavored and delic-
ious, fruit that forms the basis Of
many of the most ambrosial culinary
creations ever devised by the hand
and brain of an artistic cook.
But Kennewick is not only the place
where they raise the early strawber-
ries and get we'll paid for them. Still
another industry is creeping up on
the strawberry industry in popularity
and bids fair not only to equal it but
surpass it and become the greatest in
1ustry in the Kennewick Valley. Al
ready the hen is sharing honors with
he strawberry, the apple, the cow and
he rich alfalfa fields, and only time

will hold in the commercial life of
Kennewick. Many conditions favor

o be the case for number of rea-
ons. In the first place wheat is grown
N the Horse Heaven land adjoining
kennewick, thus saving the cost of
transportation and is sold at lowest
ost. In the second place the climatic
onditions here are much superior to-
hose on the west side of the Cas-
AIDES, either in Washington, Oregon

ertion unsupported by the test of ex-
erience. The writer has raised. .Youl-

GETTING GASOLINE
FROM NATURAL GAS
This Method of Obtaining Raw
Product has been Growing
Rapidly i'm u. S.

Ever since the second gas well was
struck in the Rattlcsnake field, men in
terested in its development have claim
ed that, even tho oil is never found in
the district, the recovery of gasoline
from natural gas will in itself prove a
very profitable industry. That this
method of obtaining raw gasoline is
growing rapidly in the United States
is shown in the following article from
the American Oil Journal of October
goth:
Statistics just compiled under the
supervision of j. d. Northrup, United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, show that the natural
gas gasoline industry in the United
States has made marked progress in
1917. s

a gain of IL, 4,Ss1, AIS gallons or III
per cent over the output of 1916. Of
this quantity 16s,921 ,555 gallons, or
77.5 per cent, was recovered by com
preston and by vacuum pumps and
the remaining 49,017,59 gallons or
22.5 per cent by absorption and by
salvage from gas mains. The COM
bined product of gasoline obtained by
compression and by vacuum pumps
was greater than in 1916 by $685.
1853 gallons Or SO per cent, and. the
product obtained by absorption and
from drips was greater BY 20,447,647
gallons, or ITO per cent.
"The quantity of commercial gaso-
line represented by the output of raw
gasoline in 1917, tho not susceptible
of accurate determination, probably
to more than 100000, 900 |
gallons.
The average price received in 1917 |
for the raw production at the sources
of production was 18.45 cents a gal
lon, and the market value of the en-
tire output was SAC, ,1SS, ,s56, gain of
4.6 cents in average unit selling price |
and of s25,857.S0s, or $50 per cent,
in gross market value as compared

"The volume of natural gas from
which the output of natural gas gaso-
inc in 1917 was recovered is estimated

,overy of gasoline per thousand feet

The flow of the larger gas well in
this county is estimated at 100000
cubic feet day. At the average pro-
duction record of one-half gallon for
each one thousand cubic feet this well
would yield 1900 gallons of gasoline

EMMA GOLDMAN GIVES UP.
Doesn't Want to Stay Here After Berk-
man Leaves.

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-Rather than be
separated from Alexander Berkman her
companion OF years, Emma Goldman an
nounced last night that she had aban-
doned her legal fight in the Supreme court
to prevent her deportation to Soviet Rus-
STA with Berkman and some other radicals.
Harry Weinberger, her attorney, in a
letter to Assistant Attorney Gen. Stewart
at Washington, asked that Miss Gold
mans applications for writ of error or
appeal and reieases on bail be withdrawn.
He said that this request was made 'in
view of the statement made by your de
partment and the commissioner general OF
immigration that Emma Goldman and Al
exander Berkmarr and other Russians will
be deported within 10 days to Soviet Rus
sia'
The letter said Miss Goldman preferred
'jail or deportation to continued custody
on Ellis Island"
| The refusal of the supreme court to de
| lay Berkman's deportation. the attorney
said, had also led Miss Goldman To aban
| don her fight. He quoted her as sayin,
] that "if Berkmm must go, and the res
I, viii 90 with him. Later a statement wa
| issued by Miss Goldman in which sh,
| said:
| Il desire 10 90 as soon as possible t,
| Soviet Russia and | expect the govern
| mcnt to keep its promise to deport Berl,
man and myself rs we'll as other Russian
within 70 days" She characterized tn
governments action as like that OF 9Th

tinucs to sleep upon her waterp power
possibilities she may soon sec the trans
fer of many of her indutries to the
foreeful and ever-alert
West. He continues:
The amount of theoretical power per
foot of fall in the St. Lawrence river,
as shown by the mean annual flow, is
p $3.50 horse power, and as total fall
of 90 feet is available in the interna
tional section of the river the theoret-
zeal power i'll that section is about q
100000 horsepower. Assuming that
only 20 per cent of this energy can be
made available on account of losses in
head and incfficienciess of water wheels
and generating equipment, this stretch
of the river owned equally by the
United States and Canada, would fur
nish l,764, 900 horsepower, or $4,000
horsepower to each.
The utilization of this power in pub
lie service TO replace coal now con-
sumed in the large manufacturing cen
tiers of New York and New eEngland
has an important bearing on the ex-
tension Of the life of our coal deposits.
On the basis of three pounds of coal
Der kilowatt-hour, this st. Lawrence
river power is the equivalent of about
I, 600 tons of coal annually This
is about Is per cent of the total pro-
duction Of bituminous coal in the Uu..-
ed States in 1918.
The demand for power for the use of
industrial and public utilities in New
England and New York is increasing.
Winter conditions like those of 1917
1918 would again cause, and to great
cr degree, the same difficulty that then
occurred in supplying coal to the coun-
try's essential industries. The water
power of the st. Lawrence would fur
nish sufficient energy to supply a large
part of the power now generated by
fuel in the northeastern part of this
dominant industrial district of the
United States. The demand for power
in this district would undoubtedly con
sumo all that portion of the St. Law
refee power that belongs to the United
States and all Of that portion of Can
ada 5 share for which there was no de
mand in that country. The power pro
duction will pay the entire cost of al
the work. AS | understand it, oul
