MISS MYRTLE MITCHELL
AND FRANCIS STOUT WE'D
Highland Girl Becomes Bride of EN-
polye of Security Bank.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A.
Mitchell, of the Highlands, was the
scene of a pretty wedding Wednesday
afternoon when their daughter, Miss
Myrtle became the bride Of Francis
Stout. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. j. E. Strevey, of the Metho-
dist church, with only few friends of
the young couple present.
Immediately after the wedding Mr..
and Mrs. Stout left for Montana where
they will visit at the home of the
bridegroom's parents.
Both young people are well known
in this community, the bride having
lived here several years while Mr..
Stout came here year ago to accept
a position as bookkeeper for the Am
erican Security Bank. Both have been
active in younger social circles and
Mr.. Stout has taken a prominent part
in the affairs of the American Leg
ion.
After returning to Kennewick Mr..
and Mrs. Stout will make their home
temporarily with the brides parents.

BANKS SUSPEND PAYMENT
ON IRRIGATION WARRANTS
Local Institutions are Loaded to Lin.
it and Federal Reserve Can't
Give Relief

The. First National and the Ameri-
can Security Banks announced this
week that for the present they can
not handle the warrants of the Col
,umbia, Kennewick and Richland Irri-
cation districts. In explaining this
action the banker says their warrants
accounts are up to the absolute limit.
They are holding many thousands of
dollars worth of schObl district and
city and local improvement district
warrants in addition to the irrigation
warrants.
The warrants of the irrigation dis
tricts will not be accepted by the fed.
eral reserve bank for rediscount and
as yet both banks have failed to find
any of the city banks which will han
die them.
Local bankers express the hope that
soon after the first of the year they
can resume the cashing of irrigation
warrants. The final 1920 assessments
are now due and the districts should
be able to make heavy calls soon afte,
January /. However, many farmers
who are still holding this years crops
are experiencing difficulty in meeting
their assessments and a much larger
percentage Of delinquencies than
usual is looked for.

lensburg where they will represent
Kennewick at the annual meeting Of
the Washington Irrigation Institute.
One of the important matters which
will come before the institute will be
program Of legislation to enlarge
the powers and scope of the state rec
lamaticn service. One of the impor-
tant plsnks IN the platform will Re
a pr -p.:al to legalize the investment
Of school and other state funds in ir-
rigation district bonds. At the eres-
eat time :he state reclamation SER
vice can do little more than assist
in tac f:n.rcing of irrigation projects,
the securities of which must be sui
jected to the uncertainties of the open
market.

BRIDGE LUNCHEON

One Of the largest and most delight

the bridge luncheon given last Satur-
day at the home of Mrs. Chas. Kas-
per at which the hostesses were, Mrs.
Kasper, Mrs. L. f. Semon and Mrs.
Guy j. Hayden. The decorations were
especially appropriate to the Christ
mas season. During the afternoon the
shades were drawn and electric lights
used, Christmas trees beautifully dec
GRATED and hung with, colored lights
graced the archways while holly, Ore
gon grape and mistletoe tastefully ar
ranged added a delightful holiday
touch. The tables were decorated with
a centerpiece Of chrysanthemums with
sprays of holly for favors. The host
esses Were assisted in serving by the

TWEEDT ELECTED
BOARD MEMBER
River Road Farmer will Succeed
Johnson as Director of Col
umbia District

At the annual election Tuesday L.
A. Tweedt received all but four votes
for director of the Columbia Irrigation
district and the special assessment
Of $4,000 was voted by 80 to IL.
Mr.. Tweedt will succeed L. E. John
son, who has been a member of the
board since the creation Of the dis
trict. His associates will be H. S.
Hughes and James Johnston.
There was never any doubt but that
the special assessment would carry
as the election was merely a confir-
nation Of expenditures authorized
several months ago at a meeting Of
the waterusers of the district. Money
raised by the assessment will be ex-
pended for lining portions of the main
canal with concrete the greater por-
tion of which has already been COM
pleted.
In the Kennewick Irrigation district
j. ]. Rudbin was reelected director
without opposition.

ANOTHER GAS
STRIKE IS MADE
Good Flow Brought in by Dia-
mOnd Drill in Seattle-Inland
COmpany's Well

Visitors to the Rattlesnake gas field
bring back confirmation of the rumol
which became current last week to the
effect that a fourth gas well is now
flowing in the field. The new strike
is in the well of the Seattle & Inland
company where drilling is in progress
with a diamond drill.
This well is about two miles south
west of the old discovery well and is
about four miles distant from the
Walla Walla Oil, Gas & Pipe Line
company's well No. 8, which was
brought in as a gasser last summer.
I It is understood that the gas in the
new well was brought in at a depth Of
about 750 feet. The well is being
drilled as test hole for oil and rap
i'd progress is being made.
The new strike only confirms the
belief of geologists that the Rattle.
snake field is a large one and its
further development for gas alone is
fully justified even though oil is new
er brought in:
The new strike makes a total OF
four producing gas wells, the old dis
covery well and the Walla Walla COM
pany's wells, two and three.
