EXPECT MORE
RIGS in OIL
FIELD SOON
Columbia River-Puget Sound Co.
Hopes to Start Two Big
Outfits
STOCKHOLDERS AT MEETING
Annual Reports of officers are Full
of Optimism for the Future
Possibilities

That two standard drilling rigs
have been purchased and that they
will probably be at work in the field
within a short time with sufficient
capital back of them to insure the
sinking of wells to depth of $500
or 5000 feet, was the cheering news
which Manager w. r. Crawford and
President E. M. Sly brought to he
stockholders of the Columbia River
Puget Sound Natural Gas company,
at their annual meeting here Monday.
One of the rigs is at EIlensburg and
the other is on the Coast.
The officers reported that several
months ago the plan of a general
campaign had been aban-
ioned and that the treasury stock
would be entirely withdrawn from the
market within very short time. Men
If ample capital have become inter-
ssted in the development of the field
md if negotiations now pending with
hem are closed up the company win
10 longer depend upon the sale of
took for financing its operations.
In addition to the two large rigs
he company has two smaller rigs op-
rating in the field, one a few miles
his side Of the gas wells and the
ther in the Cold Greek well, where
large flow Of artesian water was re-
emily struck. These wells are being
rilled, not for oil, but for gas, from
7hich to get fuel supply for the
peration Of the larger rigs.
No drilling has been done in the
Did Greek well since the heavy ar
ssian flow was struck, and the work
casing off the water so that drilling
an be resumed, has been delayed be-
luse of the impossibility of getting
Iuipment because Of the govern
tents war embargo on steel pro-
1cts. This embargo has now been
fled and the necessary equipment
expected to arrive within a short
me.
The reports Of the officers showed
le finances of the company to be in
BOD shape and the stockholders ex-
ressed satisfaction with the manner
which the affairs Of the conpanv
ave been managed. The former Of
:ers were continued for another wear.
In making his report Manager W.
Crawford stated that even tho oil
ere never struck the development Of
e field for gas alone offered great
disabilities. The large gas well. as
stands today, he said, will Weld
e owners handsome profit, to saw
thing of the possibilities for light
g, heating and manufacturing pur-
'ses. In discussing the mannfactur- :
g possibilities. he said. he had re-
e country, he said, have recently had
title made from Columbia sands and
d received equally encouraging re-
rts on the clay Of the White Bluffs
strict for the manufacture of high
ade brick and pottery. Some Of the
rgest manufacturing companies in
e courty, he said, have recently had
cir men in the field collecting speci-
Ems of sand and clay and some very
teresting developments along this
e may be expected soon.

ball team added another victory to
their list last Friday evening when
they defeated the Sunnyside five on

good lead in the first half, but were
given a mighty close rub in the second

NEW TELEPHONE
TOLLS IN EFFECT.
Rate to Nearby Points is Lower
ed, but Increased to Dis
tant Points

Manager A. F. Brown, Of the Ken.
newick Valley. Telephone company
who, since Secretary Burleson got or
the job, has been kept busy trying to
apply government orders to his busi-
ness, has been busy this week figuring
out just what the recent order govern
ing toll charges means when applied
to his rates. He has determined that
on short distance calls the rate has
been materially reduced, but increas-
ed for longer calls. This, he says will
work very marked hardship on the
small Independent company, but will
swell the revenues of the larger COM
panies who own the lines between the
larger cities.
The new order. provides that the
basis rate shall be station to sta
tion toll. That is, when the call is
for telephone number and not for
any particular person at that num-.
ber. The person to person rate is 25
percent higher than the station to
station rate and no person to person
call is accepted where the station to-
station rate is less than Is cents. This
means that hereafter it will be impos-
sible to call John Jones at Pasco, as
the charge is only 10 cents. All calls
to Pasco must be made by telephone
number.
Another new wrinkle is the report
charge. This is a charge ranging
from 10 cents up to $500 that is made
when the person called cannot be To-
Gated at the number called. If you
put in call to talk to John Smith
at specified time you pay extra for
this service, the extra charge being |
known as the appointment rate. If
you call a person and the operator re-
ports that there will be messenger
fee, you will pay from 25 cents up for
this, plus the messenger fee.
From $50 p. M, until midnight the
rate is about one-half of the day rate
and from midnight until o'clock a.
m, it is about one-fourth the station
lay rate. The initial time allowed for
! call is five minutes on short calls
md three minutes on long calls instead
# one minute as formerly. The new
.ates become effective February 21.
Mr.. Brown says the new rate will
prove practically confiscatory to
company like the one operating at
White Bluffs and will greatly curtail
he revenues of companies like the
mes here, at Prosser and other towns
# similar size, while it will fatten
he pocketbooks of the Bell companies.
The postmaster general has likewise
ssued new order modifying the
barge to be made for installation or
hange in service. One of the first
rders of the government was to re-
uire charge of $5, $40 and SIS for
installing telephone service and a.
barge of $500 for change in SER
ice. This charge has been changed II
. $3.50 for installing a new phone t
nd s1.50 for change in service. t
his means that if John Jones orders t
phone put into his house it will cost t
i'm $3.50. If he moves into house 9
here there is already phone and g
rders the service continued before h
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1919-01-23

there has been any lapse in service, it
will cost him $1.50.
The. local company formerly made
no charge for this service and Man
ager Brown says his company has lost
several prospective patrons because of
the former heavy installation charge
required by the government.

HOW YOU, MRS. HOUSEWIFE. CAN HELP.

The government has begun a campaign against prof.
teering
Its agents have been ordered to do what they can to
bring down the cost of living.
There marked legal limitations as to what these
agents can do
They not able at once to seize the profeer and
rush him off to JAIL where of course he deserves to CO.
Moral suasion, argument and variety of the softer
and less drastic will first be used the abuses
from which you and your pocketbook are suffering.
But without the aid of any government agent you
Mrs Housewife, have very effective weapon in your
hands
If you believe that your grocer or your butcher or
anybody else trying to get great profit from you
quit trading with him and go to merchant whose bust
ness methods are fair
Nothing will quickly discourage the profteer as
the loss of business. No business, no profits.
You may have to walk block to save the nickel but
after you and neghbors have done it few times
Mr. Profteer will cut his prices and you can save the
walk and the nickel too
The beauty Of this plan is that it doesn't require any
legislation agents. 1t works quick and it is efectve-

WHERE THE BOY FROM BACK HOME MAY MEET
NICE GIRLS

Most young men from the small towns who go to the
big city are frequently unable to get acquainted with
girls of the class to which they accustomed
home.
After time their desire for the society of young wo-
men leads them to lower their standards as to their
cates of the opposite and, naturally the most
easy to get acquainted with least desirable.
1t is such easy matter for young fellow to drop
step by step until he really enjoys himself only with the
socalled "goodellow girl, and he is uneasy with girl
OF refinement and high ideals and ungentlemanly the
young who desires only to be gracious pure and
ladylike in her friendships.
There should be established in all cities places where
young men of good moral character and proper recon-
mendatons from back home could meet the right girls
in the right way and properly chaperoned and enjoy
diversions which youth must have to be contented and
to keep morally clean.
