COME FROM AFAR TO HEAR BULGIll

dy claims that pain and feeling are
not reality therefore, as DR.. Bull
gin pointed out, no one would want
to kiss a Christian Science girl. She
wouldn't appreciate it. When Mrs.
Eddy declared that "Mind cures every
thing" DR.. Bulgin asked, GLOW about
Lunatic. Asylums? ?" She replied,
"That classification of patients ad-
heres to it more than any other class.
See 2"
Tuesday night DR.. .Bulgin addressed
lodge men and the Woman's club. His
subject, ''The Man of Galilee.showed
a. most remarkable handling Of the
text, "He shall be called Wonderful,
Mighty Counsellor, Everlasting Faith
er and Prince of Peace"
Wednesday night his subject was,
''The Acid Test of Character"
Thursday morning there will be a
meeting at 10 o'clock for men, for con-
ference and prayer and at night a
special Thanksgiving service.
Friday night DR.. Bulgin will deal
with subject of keen interest to
every human. He will speak on the
topic, "Is there a He'll? If so, is God
a God of Love and Still Send Anyone
to Hell?"
Saturday nights subject will be,
"The Sin of Barrenness."
Sunday at 2:30 DR.. Bulgin's ad-
dress will be, "The Phantom Hand"
and in the evening, at o'clock he will
speak on "The Greatest Business of
Life"
DR.. Bulgin, to use his own words,
is the sweetest, homely thing you
ever looked at. He is intensely hu-
man, a good sport, enjoys hunting
for deer and grizzly almost as well as
he enjoys hunting for lost souls.
If you enjoy good music, good solo
work and sound thinking, entrain for
the big board tabernacle.

JEFFREY MAY BE
FEDERAL ATTORNEY
Friends of Kennewick Attorney
Are Urging Him as Success
sOr to Garrecht

The following news dispatch ap.
peared in a recent issue Of the Seattle

. Members Of the Benton County
bar are taking a deep interest in ap-
pointment of successor in the office
of United States district attorney
now held by Francis A. Garrecht
Prosser attorneys, for the most part
appear to, favor the candidacy OF
Frank Romer Jeffrey of Moulton &
Jeffrey, Kennewick. Mr. Jeffrey was
first commander of the American Leg.
ion in this state. According to local
attorneys, he will have the support OF
Franklin and Benton counties, posi-.
bly, Walla Walla and Kittitas."
When asked concerning the authen'
ITCHY of the report Mr.. Jeffrey said
eyes, / have decided to become ar
applicant for the appointment. Until
short time ago nothing was farther
remote from my intentions than tc
become a candidate for the office OF
federal attorney. The idea originated
not with me but with some of the
members of the Yakima county bar
who called me to their city and urged
me to enter the race, assuring me OF
their active support. Since that time
I have received similar assurances
from lawyer friends and other friends
from all parts of the district. Now
that / am in the race am in it to
win and shall make as active a cam
paign as can"
From the standpoint Of party 10y
atty, ability, professional qualifica-
tions, integrity and acceptibility to
the general public, no man in the dis
trict is more eminently qualified for
the position than is Mr.. Jeffrey. II
he wants the position he most GER
tainly is entitled to it. True he didn't
pull the wires or take the stump for
the election of any congressman OF
senator's, but while other applicants
for the position We're doing those very
things he was with Uncle Sans fight
ing forces in France and Germany
where he made good and rose from
the rank of lieutenant TO that OF
major. Since his return he has de-
voted much time to the organization
of the American Legion and the splen-
did growth of the Legion in this state
is due in a large measure to his in
itiative and leadership. This paper is

THERE'S OIL
In COLUMBIA
BASIN WELL
Strike has been Made i'm Alfalfa
Well is Word Brought Back
BY Local Men
WATER DELAYS OPERATIONS
Thick Scum of Oil Forms on Top of
Bailings Taken from Near
Bottom of Hole.

There is no longer any doubt but
that the Columbia Basin Oil company
has encountered oil in its well in At
talia. 1t is no longer a question Of
oil but a question of the quantity of
oil at the present depth.
Rumors Of an oil strike in this well
have been definitely confirmed by L.
e. johnson and w. r. Crawford Of
this city who Were two of the 55 peo-
pie who spent all of Friday night at
the well while the work of bailing out
the water was in progress.
81 am not prepared to say that this
company has struck production but
there is no mistaking the fact that
there is oil in the well, whether it is
there in paying quantities / have no
way Of knowing" said Mr.. johnson.
81, in company with number of 9TH
ers spent Friday night at the well
and saw the oil as it was brought up
in the bailer. At first the bailing
showed little or no signs of oil, but
as the water in the hole was lowered
the colors began to appear, and in
creased in quantity each time the
bucket was emptied. When the water
was lowered to within 200 feet of the
bottom coating of oil at least a
quarter Of an inch thick would form
on the top of the bailings after they
had been emptied into wash tub.
At this stage the water broke into
the inner hole and came to within
few feet Of the surface and opera
tions were suspended"
The drill dropped into the oil sands
in this well about ten days ago. AS
soon as they were encountered drill
ing stopped and the work Of casing
off the water was started and was
completed only after Manager e. B.
Vogel had secured the states of Wash
ington and Oregon for enough 1-2
inch casing to do the work. 1t is
thought that Friday night when the
water pressure in the inner casing
had been reduced the water broke
through from the outer casing at the
bottom of the WELL To overcome
this several sacks Of cement were
poured into the inner casing. AS soon
as the cement sets, the hole will be
drilled out and baling operations con-
tinued. Mr.. Vogel who, was in Ken
newick Tuesday said the cement would
probably be let stand until the first
of the week.
While Mr.. Vogel is most optimistic
he is making no wild predictions as to
what the well will do. sour COM
pany has no stock to sell and we are
being very careful not to give out any
misleading statements" said Mr.. Vog-
ell. "We are taking the public just as
largely into our confidence as is
reasonable. The only information
we are Withholding is the present
depth Of the well. We are doing this
for the protection alike, of our own
company and other legitimate opera
tors and investors in the field"
The company's drillers, who have
had years of experience in the Texas
fields are confident the well will be
brought in good producer. They
say the well is behaving like a real
producer.

Large Delegation Motors from
Sunnyside - Thanksgiving
Services Thursday Eve
Especial Correspondent


Computing the combined mileage of
the 80 automobiles which brought
down the Sunnyside delegation Friday
night, $500 miles were reeled off in
bringing this party from their homes
in Sunnyside to. the big, board tab
ernacle and return. Estimating that
each car averaged Is miles to the gal
lon of gas, something over 800 gal
Ions Of gas were consumed in MAX
ing the journey and yet they felt
more than repaid for the outlay in
money and time. They pooled the
expenses of the trip so that in the
event of a blowout or serious break
down, the expense Of such catastro-
phe would not fall on any one individ-
ual. A fine spirit you say, a fine
delegation and fine example to us
Kennewickians, some of whom have
not yet heard DR.. Bulgin's matchless
messages.
The Sunnyside delegation sang the
old songs that had become dear to
them at home. The ministers from
up there were called on for trio and
say, boys, those Sunnyside preachers
can sing almost as well as Mr.. Lew
is can. The Sunnyside ladies' quar-
tet was most agreeable surprise. As
rule you can't bank much on lad
les quartet but this one was an ex-
ception. Their voices blended like
bank notes and liberty bonds. The
Sunnyside band also participated,
playing the song that was the favor
ite with them. The chorus from Sun
nyside sang and the big home choir
responded. DR.. Bulgin wound up this
most enjoyable evenings entertain
ment with his famous lecture, "The
Lean Cow
Sunday evening DIR. Bulgin dealt
with the subject, els the Bible the
Word Of God?" He pointed out that
it was tested blade; the key that
unlocks human mystery; the only
book that deals with the sins of its
greatest men; the only comfort when
dying; the only book that lifts men up
to God. Forces have been hurled
against it that would obliterate any
other book. Still it stands.
Monday night, on special request
DR.. Bulgin and Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
rendered a couple Of negro melodies
in the good old negro style and they
were much enjoyed by the big aud.
fence present. Prefacing his sermon
on Christian Science, DR.. Bulgin said
that he did not propose to attack
something that he was merely pref.
udiced against but something of which
he had made a profound study anG
had found wanting. He has not only
read Mrs. Eddy's book through 49,
times but went to Boston and studied
with Mrs. Eddy for four months tc
find out something about her so-callet
religion. An aunt of DR.. Bulgin, 6
Scientist, has offered him a $25,00(
farm if he will give up evangelistie
| work and become a reader. Mrs. Ed

FOREIGNERS PROSPER IN
THE UNITED STATES

A study of the census reports on
population for 1920 will very likely
reveal some startling. facts concern
ing the tremendously mixed status
OF our people. During the war the
influx of foreigners ceased almost
wholly. Now we are pressed for
room to care for the crowds of peo-
pie coming from other lands to
take advantage of American oppor-
tunity. These people reach our
shores well equipped for the tasks
before them They are schooled
in habits Of economy and are not
afraid OF work The following
statement taken from bulletin
sent out by an association in New
York gives a glimpse of the status
of Italians in the country.
The important economic expan-
sion of Italians in this country is
evidenced by a statement issued by
the bank of Italy, San Francisco,
Calf. The bank now has EOS 149
italian depositors and s143,S53,-
457.52 in deposits, which is an in
crease of $36,000,000 overs last
year. Large increases are reported
by all the banks.
The Sank of Italy is one of the
fifteen largest Italian banks in the
United States four of which, in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
and Newcastle, Pa, are under state

no such political buncombe. He
knows and so does every sane think
ing man in America that we prosper
or suffer together in this country.
When conditions are favorable
when business is good-the sharp,
shrewd, far seeing man will make
money rapidly. The man who is
less acute or less Industrious will
not go forward so rapidly but he
will prosper according to his tai
ents.
Most people have prospered in
this country. 1t Is rich country
and 1t is blessed with great oppor-
tunities for everybody. Mr.. Cox
has himself prospered. He belongs
to the shrewder class Vof business
men. He lives in a palatial home,
owns two newspapers and is reputed
to be worth two million dollars.
This talk about big business
seeking to impose onerous condi-
lions on the pepole is all bosh. Big
business cannot prosper in this
country unless the country as a
whole prospers. E..

RIG BUSINESS

Governor Cox claims that big bus
mess is seeking his defeat in the
election to be held in November.
The big business to which he re-
fers in this connection is a myth.
1t is just a fiction of his magma
ton.
He wants the people to believe
that a gigantic conspiracy exists
among men of wealth which has for
its purpose the oppression of a great
majority of the people of this coun-
try. This sort of talk has been
common in the country throughout
its entire history. 1t is an old,
old story.
II any thinking and reasoning
man or woman will stop and use
their mental faculties a bit they
will have little difficulty in seeing
the utter absurdity of this political
premise.
How and when do people prosper
in this country?
In the case of a producer the
prime necessity is a market for his
product at a good price. II it is
wage Garner he must have steady
work and good wages. II it is a
middle-man or distributor he must
have customers who can buy stead
lily in order to enable him to keep
his employees busy buying and sell
ing. He is chiefly concerned about
the volume of business.
Our interests in this country are
bound indissolubly together. II
big business does not want Cox for
president, little business does not
want him. Neither Cox nor any
other man in the country can kill
or cripple big business and make
little business prosper as a result.
And it Is equally true that IL little
business prospers big business will
prosper.
Take for illustration railroad bus
mess. Two million wage earners
depend for their living upon this in
dustry. The railways must earn
money with which to pay these peo-
pie. Here is a combination OF big
business and little business. The
farmer depends upon the railway
to get-his produce to market. The
storekeeper depends upon the rail-
way to keep his shelves stocked
with goods. The farmer and the
storekeeper represent little bust
ness. How are you going to help
these fellows by hampering the big
railroad business

FREE TO DECIDE

Discussing the Polisch situation,
candidate Franklin ID. Roosevelt as
serts that because the United States
is not a member of the league OF
nations all II can do is extend SYM
pathy. Absolutely wrong. The
fact that the United States is not
member of the league does not pre-
clude it from doing anything 1t sees
fit for the aid of Poland. The
United States Seed Cuba without be-
ing member of league. 1t has
rendered aid to many a nation
stricken by misfortune. without be-
ing a member of a league OF nations.
The United States helped defeat Ger
many without being a member of a
league--this country did not even
enter the alliance but fought in CO
sires to send food or munitions or
money on soldiers to Poland, II is alb
solutely free to do so. On the
other hand, since the United States
is not a member OF the league, it is
also absolutely free not to do any of
these things unless it deems such ac-
ton wise and proper. Under the
terms of the league covenant the
United States, IL member, would be
under binding obligations to send
money or supplies or troops upon
the order Of the league even IL
against its judgment. The demo-
cratic candidate has in reality testi-
fed to the wisdom of those republic
cans in the senate who kept this ma
tion free from the obligations OF
the league.

Italian owned banks are the small
local ones, of which there are sever
al hundred, and the branches of
great banks in Italy of which there
are five in New York and one in Chi
cago.
other nationalities prosper in
similar manner. America is rich
in its opportunities. Unfortun-
ately the people who are born here
do not contract the habits of thrift
and frugality which are forced upon
the foreigner in his native land. For
this reason the foreigner comes here
with his habits of thrift and dispo-
sition to work and grow rich while
the native puts in lot of time
spending his income faster than he
earns it and cursing the country be-
cause he does not have bigger in
come and more leisure time.

CATTLE PERISH In BIG FIRE

Forty-eight head of pure bred
Hereford cattle, valued at 100000,
were burned to death in fire of un-
known origin which destroyed big
barn on the Joe P. Saunders farm
six miles southwest of Cumberland
Monday morning at three o'clock.
Besides the cattle the barn is to-
tai loss. The total loss on cattle
and barn will reach SGT 900 says Mr.
Saunders. He carried $4,000 in
surance.
The fire was under big Roadway
when discovered. 1t had such a
start that not an animal was saved
from the barn. The Herefords were
being fitted for a sale which Mr..
Saunders was to have held at Cres-
ton on September 7th.
Generous Pride, Mr.. Saunders
herd bull, worth many thousands of
dollars, was taken from the barn,
but was so badly burned he probably
will have to be killed. Every bit of
hair was burned from the animals
body. Two cows were also saved
from the barn, one Of these being
badly injured however
Mr.. Saunders was to have loaded
his cattle Monday for shipment to
Creston. &
The loss falls the more heavily on
Mr.. Saunders because it wipes out
years of work in building up a fine
herd. His cattle were becoming
we'll known and he has met with sue
cess as breeder. !.
Along with the cattle and barn
there was large amount Of hay and
grain burned. Hay in the loft or
the barn made the building all the
more inf1ammable.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
neighbors of Saunders gathered at
his home. There was nothing they
could do, however, as the big struc-
tHre was mass Of ruins within a
short time after the flames were first
seen.
This Is one of the most costly
farm fires in Cass county in recent
years. It is also the greatest loss
OF live stock in single instance in
the county in recent years,

Corn FIattened Nv STORM

Corn in the northwestern part of
Montgomery county has been con-
siderably damaged as result Of the
rains and wind of last week. Many
of the fields throughout this section
are laid fat. Farmers were at a
loss to understand why the corn was
fiattened and twisted as it was as the
wind did not appear to have suffi-
Client velocity to do much damage.
An investigation has resulted in find
ing the roots Of the corn this year
very short and loose in the ground.
The heavy rain loosened them still
more, and with the unusual heavy
stocks 1t did not take very strong
wind to do the damage. AS the corn
in that section is practically past the
growing stage, it will not straighten
again and will not mature properly
even with the best of weather condi-
tions.

ously near earning for him the i'm

litical move such reorganization

amount to an average of a little
