"Ship carload asparagus Monday,

gram received Saturday by the Ken

from Minneapolis firm nearly broke
the heart of Manager F. H. Krug. In
stead of shipping carload to Mime
apolis he had to parcel out meagre
supply among the clamoring dealers
sof Seattle and Spokane, giving to none
the quantity ordered.
Because of chilly days and frosty
nights the grass is coming in very
slowly. Following Sundays sunshine
receipts jumped Monday to SIS crates

figure the demand is steadily increas-
ing and orders are far in excess of
the supply. In spite of the cold wea-
ther the quality Of the grass is good

gest crop at the biggest prices the
valley has ever known.
n Considerable new acreage is in pro-

the opinion that for the first time it

is still hopeful that if the weather

he will be able to ship carload to

ttirely under the Unions control as
only three local growers are shipping
their own stuff this year.
The Union is making active pre-
parations for handling this years
strawberry crop. Insulation work on
the cold storage compartment is near
ing completion and an engineer ar
rived today from the factory to su-
perintend the installation of the re-

bile tires. Mr.. Carr explained that the
addition of carbon black to the rubber
resulted in an increase of tensile
strength in the tire and from a to 20
per cent, depending on the amount
used 1t also gives superior resiliency
to tires. eff the addition of carbon
black increases the life of tire but
10 per cent, he added, "this would
result in saving of $s0,OO0,o 900 a
year to automobile owners. =
Defenders of the use of natural gas
in the manufacture of carbon black as
sert that this use of natural gas ac-
tually has been a conservative meas
ure, in that it has resulted in some
good use of the natural gas fuel, where
it otherwise would have been entirely
wasted. On the other hand, it is ad-
mitted that the making of carbon
black is wasteful use Of this fuel,
but as Mr.. Carr pointed out "no other
known pigment is as smooth and free
from grit and has anywhere near as
great covering qualities.
"Carbon black manufacturers have
followed the opening Of virgin natural
gas fields" said Mr.. Carr. "They have
had to because the short life 5f. all
natural gas fields has prevented the
making of carbon black in any one
field for other than short period of
time"
"He told the Natural Gas Conser-
walton committee that the firm he
represented had begun the absorption
of gasoline from natural gas about
three years ago; that last year they
produced 100000 gallons. of high
grade gasoline for blending with low
grade gasoline, and in 1920 would
more than double this gasoline pro-
duction. The remaining natural gas
is then used for the making Of car
bon black"

.ture performers. in several smokers
over there and recently he went on
with Soldier Smiley, of Fl. Russell,
at the big American Legion smoker in
Pendleton. The evening Of April 30
he meets Red Young, Of Yakima, in
Walla Walla. Custer went six fast
rounds with Smiley in Pasco last
evening and has mixed it on former
occasions with Red. Comparison of
the records of the two boys indicate
that they are very evenly matched

one.

wrestling bouts and two or three
boxing preliminaries among which
will be bout between Kennewick's IS

ANOTHER BREAK in NEW
LINING OF MAIN CANAL
Section of Concrete Goes Out Above
Flume -Four Days to
Repair Break

For the second time this year Sec
tion of new concrete has given way
and the water is out of the Columbia
Irrigation Districts main canal. The
break this time is several miles up
the valley above Flume /. Manager
C. E. Edwards said this evening that
four days will probably be required to
repair the break.
This break was caused by leak in
the bottom of the canal. The seepage
washed the earth away and the un-
SUPPORTED bottom went down under it's
weight of water.

Some Day Printers Ink May Be !.
Manufactured In Kennewiick

There is little doubt but that the
next few months will bring forth some
interesting and worth while develop
ments in the Benton county oil and
gas fields. The next big event on the
calendar is the striking of gas in
we'll No. Of the Walla Walla Oil,
Gas and Pipe Line company. When
this strike is made it is expected that
negotiations now pending will be
quickly closed up. for the piping and
utilizing of the gas. Some of the
largest companies in the country have
been bidding for contracts on the out
put of the present wells and future
wells up to 80 million cubic feet. These
companies represent a variety of in
terests and to what use the gas will
be put will depend upon the business
of the company to whom the Walla
Walla company sells the gas. 1t is
highly probable that included in the
developments will be the installation
of plant to extract the gasoline and
manufacture lamp, or carbon black.
It is reported that recent analyses
show that the gas is now carrying "a
much higher gasoline content than
when it was first struck and the same
is said to be true of the percentage
of carbon black. Men who have visit
ed the wells frequently are comment.

That the "smudge" of the gas flame
is valuable commodity which at the
present time is in great demand is
shown by the following article given
out by the Natural Gas Conservation

"That the interests of the entire
