Penn-P acific Company to
Build Pipe Lines to
Northwest Cities
MEANS INVESTMENT
OF MANY MILLIONS
Representative of Com
pany Gives Interview
to Portland Paper

The Penn-Pacific Oil company
today promised development in
natural gas and oil fields in East
ern Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Northern California and Northern
Nevada of stupendous magnitude,
thru representatives of big Okla
homa and Pennsylvania oil and
gas operators now in the city, says
the Portland Telegram.
In addition they promise develop
ments in the production of iron
and steel from the immense iron
ore deposits of the Northwest fol-
lowing Immediately the ability of
the oil and gas fields to supply
abundant fuel, and also the devel-
opment of many other allied in
dustries.
Quietly, for several years, rep
resentatives Of the big interests
have been in the field at work maxi
ing Investigations, purchasing land
and obtaining leases. They have
succeeded in obtaining control of
many thousands of acres of land
thruout the Northwest on which
there are the best prospects.
Their first activities will center
in Southeastern Washington where
they have obtained control of the
natural gas wells on what is known
as Rattlesnake mountain, near
Kennewick, which are already
capable of supplying several mil
lion cubic feet of natural gas each
twenty-four hours, according to
S. T. Conner, treasurer of the
Washington corporation.
"We plan to supply the North
west cities with natural gas" he
said today, "and already pipe has
been ordered and it is on the way
for piping the gas from our devel-
oped wells to Walla Walla and
Yakima and intermediate points.
The freight bill on this pipe alone
is approximately S120,00O.
'Tt is the plan of our company
to extend our gas pipeline to Spo-
kane, Tacoma, Seattle and Port
land as indications are that we will
have an abundance Of gas to sup
ply the needs of all of these cities.
Coincident with the construction
of our gas distributing system will
be the development of cheap fuel.
Immediately we provide the
fuel, the great iron ore deposits Of
this section will be developed and
already several Of the big iron mine
operators Of the country are pre-
pairing to come to this field. There
will also be other industries such
as glass factories established in the
district.
''In my opinion the development
we have started viii be one Of the
greatest factors in developing the
natural resources of the Pacific
Northwest that has ever been un-
1t is the plan Of the Penn Pacific
Oil company to deliver the gas from
their wells to others who will dis
tribute it in the cities to be sup
piled. Conner said that arrange
ments have been completed for de-
livering the gas to Yakima and
Walla Walla.

Pa, president Of the company, who
was in this city recently, has re-
turned to the East.
The producing wells in the Rat
tlesnake field are owned by the

company, head offices of which are
in this city. Manager H. d. James
is absent from the city and the

report.

''Yes Yes, at once
His callers filed into the room
with cheerfulness OF mien, Liam De-
lorme first, then Monk, then PhinuIt,
rather bleached of color and wearing
one arm in sling; all very smart
in clothes cOnspicuously new and
costly as the avenue afforded, strik-
ing figures Of cOntentment in pros
perity.
1T is a pleasure indeed Lanyard
gravely acknowledged their several
salutations.
BE that as it may" said Phinuit
here is the happy family reunit-
ed and ready to talk business
And no hard feelings, Monsieur
Phinuit?"
I'VE don't want to pull any rough
stuff on you, Lanyard.
"Roug' stuff, monsieur? You
mean, physical force?"
Not exactly. I've got a couple
of friends of mine from headquar-
tiers waiting down stairs this very
minute, ready and willing to cop out
the honor of putting the Lone Wolf
under arrest for stealing the Mon
talais jewels"
But is it possible" Lanyard pro-
tested, you still believe am thief
at heart and interested in those
jewels only to turn them to my own
profiit?"
He stared unbelievingly at the
frosty eyes of Monk beneath their
fatuously stubborn brows, at the
hard, unyiclding eys Of Phinuit.
My Godw Lanyard pronounced
in comic despair-''it passes under
standing!'
Now l, in my turn, have the
honor to inform you that | have
had relays of detectives waiting in
this hotel day and night, with in
structions to guard the doors as
soon as you were shown up to my
rooms"
He's lying" Monk insisted, put
ting a restraining hand on Phinuit's
arm.
Lanyard crossed rapidly to the
hall door and flung it open-and fell
back a pace with a cry Of amaze
ment.
"Madame!' Lanyard gasped-
Madame de Montalais"

her face that was carried out by the
impulsive gesture with which she

Alias the Lone Wolf
By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE
Copyright, 1921, International Magazine Co.

Continued from our last issue.)
For he mad all the time believed
that the chief engineer was laying a
trap for him CT behalf of his ancient
shipmate, Captain Whitaker Monk.
Lanyard stepped across the dead
bulk of the Apache and planted HIM
self squarely in front of the woman.
Selling her forearms with his two
hands, he used force to drag them
down to the level of her waist, and
pufposely made his grasp so strong
that his fingers sank deep into the
soft flesh.
"Therer' he that's over,
LANE. The beast is done for. Now
forget him-and realize the debt you
owe good Monsieur Phinuit."
With a grin, that gentleman looked
up from his effort to revive Cap
tain Monk.
I'm a shy, retiring violet" he
stated somewhat superfluously, but
if the, world will kindly lend its ears,
III inform it coyly that was some
shootin'. Have a look, will you, Lam
yard, like a good fellow, and make
sure our little friend over there isn't
playing 'possum on us"
Lanyard adopted the sensible sug-
gestion of Phinuit. To his complete
satisfaction no flutter of life was to
be detected in that barrel-like chest
SO this was the source of Mr.. Mus
sey's exact understanding of the
business.
AS to the question of how the
Apache had been struggled aboard,
and when, Lanyard never learned
tie truth.
Lanyard entertained for a moment
vivid imaginary picture of the
scene in the saloon when Phinuit
had surprised the Apache in the act
of strangling Monk.
One saw the garroter creeping
from his hiding place in the cabin of
the chief engineer; stationing HIM
self at the door to Monks quarters,
with that deadly handkerchief of his
trade, ready for the throat of the
Lone Wolf when he should emerge
with the spoils of the captains safe
in his hands.
Then one saw Monk, alarmed by
the sudden failure of the light, hur-
rying out to return to the bridge,
the pahtherish spring upon the vic
TINS back, the swift, dextrous noos-
ing of the handkerchief about his
windpipe, the merciless tightening of
tall abruptly illuminated by the
white glare of Phinuit's electric
torch.
Monk, stretched out upon leather
couch in his sitting room, leveled
eyebrows of suspicion at Lanyardt
From the saloon came sounds of
shuffling feet and mumbling voices
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-09-30

I and there was no more movement of
any sort.
Lanyard had no means to measure
how long that dumb suspense lasted.
1t seemed interminable. Eventually
he saw Monk pick himself up and
dash out.
/ As if he had only needed that Vi
sion of action animate him, Lam
! yard threw PPhinuit off, so that he
staggered under the threat of his
own pistol in Lanyard's hands. He
! fingered for a moment, then appar-
entity realizing his danger, faded
/ away into the saloon.
With roughness dictated by the
/ desperate extremity, Lanyard strobe
over TO Lame Delorme, fairly jerl5ed
her to her feet, and thrust her
stumbling into the saloon. Closing
the door behind her, he shot its bolts
He went to work swiftly then, in
fever of haste.
he took from the pocket of the latter
the wallet that held his papers, then
ripped open his shirt and unbuckled
the money belt around his waist. Its
pockets were ample and fitted with
trustworthy fastenings; and all but
one, that held a few English SOW
ereigns. were empty. The jewels of
Madame de MOntalais went into them
as rapidly as his fingers could move.
Thus engaged, he heard pistol
explode in the saloon, and saw the
polished writing-bed of the captains
deks scored by a bullet. A stream of
bullets followed, one after another
boring the stout panels as If their
consistency had been that of cheese.
Lanyard stepped out of their path
and Rugged the partition while he
finished stuffing the jewels into the
belt and, placing the thin wallet be-
meath it, strapped it tightly round
him once more. .
Lanyard edged along the partition
to the door, calculated the stand Of
the lunatic in the saloon from the
angle at which the bullets were COM
ing through, and emptied the pistol
he had taken from Phinuit at the
panels as fast as he could pull the
trigger.
There was no more firining -.
he tossed aside the empty weapon,
made sure of POpinOt's on his hip,
approached one Of the headlights,
placed a chair, climbed upon it, and
with infinite pains managed to wrig-
gle and squirm head and shoulders
through the opening.
After that he had to work his way
round, inch b yinch, until it seemed
possible to drop into the sea and es-
cape hitting the screw.
Ten minutes later the fingers Of
one hand-he was swimming on his
side.-at the bottom of his stroke
touched pebbles.
He lowered his feet and waded
through extensive shadows to a wide
and sandy beach. ...

as seamen carried away all that was
mortal of Monsieur Popinot:
Between roars of the fog signal,
six bells vibrated on the air. Phinuit
looked brightly to Lanyard.
"Ar-harw he murmured-"t
fatal hour"
Lanyard gave him. a gracious
smile.
In attenuated accents Captain
| Monk inquired:
What say, Phin?"
'"The dear man promised to turn
in his sTiswer to our unselfish little
proposition at six bells tonight and
not later"
Lanyard slowly inclined his head:
II regret | must beg to be excused
A look of fury convulsed Lanes
, face. Phinuit, too, was glazing, no
longer humorist. Monks mouth
was working, and his. eyebrows had
got out of hand altogether.
at is my considered judgment
that | would be a fool to associate
myself with people of low grade of
intelligence, wanting even enough to
hold fast that which they have
thieved"
Come through" Phinuit advised
in q dangerous voice. Just what
do you mean?"
Il mean that you, knowing | have
but one object, to wit, the recovery
of the jewels of Madame de Monta-
lais, have not had sufficient wit to
prevent my securing those jewels
under your very noses"
You mean to say you've stolen
them?"
Lanyard nodded. "They are at
present in my possession-if that
confesses an act Of theft"
Monk laughed discordantly. Then
I say you're liar, Monsieur the
Lone Wolf, as we'll as fool" His
fist smote the desk again. THE
Montalais jewels are here"
Lame Delorme said abruptly, in
a choking voice: Open the safe,
please, Captain Monk"
Monk swung open the safe-door,
seized the metal dispatch box by the
handle, and set it upon the desk
with a bang.
Lanyard gave no sign, but his
heart sank. He had exhausted his
last resource to gain time, he was
now at his wits end. Only his star
could save him now g..
Monk turned the keys, but all at
once forgot his purpose and cooked
his ears attentively to rumors of ex-
element and confusion on the deck.
The instinct of the seafaring man
uppermost, Monk stiffened, grew
rigid from head to foot.
One heard hurried feet, outcries, a
sudden jangle of the engine-room tel
egraph
Monsieur! monsieurw Lame i'm.
plored. open that box"
The words were on her lips when
she was thrown off her feet by a
frightful shock which stopped the
Sybarite dead in fun career. The
woman cannoned against Monk,
shouldering him bodily aside.
Instinctively snatching at the box,
Monk succeeded only in dragging it
to the edge Of the desk before a sec
ond shock seemed to make the yacht
leap like live thing stricken NOR
tally.
The dispatch-bex went to the floor,
Lame Delorme was propelled head
long into a corner, Monk thrown to
his knees, Pinuit lifted out of his
chair and flung sprawling into the
arms of Lanyard, who retained suf-
fcient presence of mind to disarm
Phinuit before that one guessed what
he was about.
Of sudden the engines ceased,
