ARE NOW DRILLING
IN BLACK LIME
Columbia Basin Men Believe Oil
Sand will be Encountered
When Lime is. Pierced

Conditions at the Alfalfa we'll are
now more encouraging than ever since
the drill has again penetrated a second
strata of black lime, which bears ev-
cry resemblance to the well-known
Mississippi lime, under which the big
oil production in the eastern and some
Of the mid-continent fields is found, .
said Mr.. E. B. Vogel, president of the
Columbia Basin Oil Company, of At
talia, when in Kennewick the first of
the week.
This new lime formation was en-
countered about five or six feet below
the bottom of the casing where the
packer was set few days ago, which
has successfully cased off the water
that for. three weeks offered such
stubborn resistance to all efforts Of
the drillers, who first tried the ce-
menting process, without success be-
for resorting to the packer system.
Constant agitation of the water
scaused by, continual gas escapement
together with the oil content in the
water was thought by the drillers to
render satisfactory results by the ce-
menting process, without success be-
therefore Mr.. Vogel Immediately COM
menced securing the country for a
suitable packer, while the cement pro-
cess was undergoing the test. Mr..
Vogel was fortunate in locating suit
able packer at Spokane and had same
on the ground ready for installation as
soon as it was definitely determined
that it's use would be imperative, and
through his good efforts no unneces-
sary delay was sustained.
Drilling in the black lime is being
continued day and night without in
terruption," said Mr.. Vogel, "and it
is expected that the drill may again
penetrate the oil sands underneath this
strata of black lime at any time. The
hole being perfectly dry, we have to
introduce water to drill with. and we
are very much encouraged by the fact
that no doubt we will have no further
water troubles to contend with"

In Ten Days Solicitors Bring in
More Than 1O,O0O-PascO
Leads Kennewick

With the arrival Tuesday night of
a new supply of subscription books,
the sale of stock in the Benton
Franklin Intercounty Bridge company
was started in earnest. Although the
actual canvass of the district is but
two days old the results are beginning
to show on the big street thermometer
which has climbed from the $4,000
mark to above the $4,000 mark.
When the receipts were checked this
evening, with reports from several So
licitors missing, the total was $21 300.
B. E. Reser, who made the check, was
of the opinion that the missing reports
would bring the amount actually
signed up to the $25,OOO mark. Mr..
Reser said that owing to the delay in
receiving the books it will probably be
impossible to complete the campaign
by Saturday night. In order that
complete details as, to the progress
of the campaign may be known he re-
quests that each solicitor report to
him at the Reser Garage each even
ing.
Reports from Pasco indicate that the
people at the other end of the bridge
are making strenuous efforts to out
distance Kennewick and to date they
are succeeding. The Pasco committee
today reports subscriptions amounting
to $4,000.

Look out for malaria, it is like
a thief in the night and robs you
of your health before you know it.
Insurance companies fear it as much
as tuberculosis. First symptoms are
costiveness and billiousness. Liver
pills alone will not drive malaria
away, that's why it gets such hold
on you.
One of the best known preventa-
tives is Nash's Chill and Fever Ton
ic. This preparation contains, in
liquid form, malaria's greatest enc
my-quinine. 1t also contains a
purgative that acts on the liver but
does not sicken or grippe. If sever
al doses are taken when the. first
signs of constipation or inactive
liver appear you can keep in prime
condition all summer.
AS implied by it's name, Nash's
Chill and Fever Tonic with iron)
is a guaranteed relief for chills
and fever. If it doesn't break chills
after five or six doses the druggist
is authorized to refund your money.
