Oil Geologist Says This Field
Is of Great Commercial
Worth
SAYS FIELD WILL BE
OF VERY LONG LIFE
Calvert Gives First Public
Interview on Rattle
snake Wells

w. r. Calvert, one Of Americas
leading oil geologists, pronounces the
Rattlesnake gas field in this county
of great commercial Importance TO
the Northwest.
Mr.. Calvert, who makes his head
quarters in Salt Lake, is geological
adviser to some of the largest oil
companies in the United States. He
was recently called to Spokane at the
request Of the government to aid in
the investigation of the oil situation
in Spokane, which the postoffice de-
partment is making. Last week he
came to Kennewick with the intention
of staying several days but was un-
expectedly called back to Spokane.
This was not Mr.. Calvert's first
trip to Kennewick. He has visited the
Rattlesnake field several times and
has made careful Investigations from
which he has prepared confidential
reports on the gas production and the
possibilities Of striking oil. Here
tofore he has refused to be publicly
quoted on the result of his investiga-
tions but upon his return to Spokane
last week he gave to the Spokane
Chronicle the following interview:
''The gas flow from the well brought
in last week in Benton county is the
heaviest so far struck in that dis
trict. 1t has not been measured, but
seems to be flowing from 100000
to 100000 cubic feet day, and
may prove to be even heavier than
that. 1t comes with greater pressure
than any of the other gas wells
brought in.
"The pressure is so great that the
tools with which the well was drilled
will not now drop to the bottom and
the Walla Walla Oil, Gas & Pipe Line
company has been obliged to send for
smaller tools before it will be able
to continue to drill. The smaller drill
will go to the bottom of the well be-
cause the gas will escape around tse
drill.
sThis field will be one of very long
life. This is assured by the exten. of
the area from which the gas comes.
1t is gas field of great commercial
Importance to the Northwest"

REAL WINTER
is STILL HERE
Present Cold Snap is Long
est in Recent Years
Seven Below

Yesterday was Kennewick's coolest
day since the record-breaking cold Of
December, 1919. The mercury in the
government thermometer yesterday
morning dropped to seven below zero
which is fifteen degrees lower than
the previous low record this year. The
next coldest was the morning Of De-
cember %, when temperature Of 8
above zero was registered.
Yesterdays maximum temperature
was 1S degrees or two degrees warm
er than the maximum temperature of
last Monday when at no time during
the day did the temperature climb
above Is.
For continued winter the present
cold period has broken all recent re-
cords. Only six times during the last
thirty days has the temperature risen
above freezing and the maximum
temperature during the period was 45
degrees.
While the cold is resulting in some
Inconvenience to householders by rea-
non of frozen water pipes and high
fuel bills, it is on the whole consid-
cred beneficial to the Valley. Pre-
'dictions are freely made that the con-
tinued cold means an early spring and
bumper crops.

Blocked by Waste,
Engineer Declares
Burden of Unused Equip
ment Inherited From War
Can BE Eradicated Only by
Management, Afford Says

The waste and idleness blocking IN.
dustrial progress can be eradicate,
only by management, L. p. Afford, con
sidered one Of the eountry's LEADING
engineers. declared yesterday at a
meeting OF the management division
Of the American Society Of Mechanical
Engineers, now holding It's forty-thlrd
annual convention in the Engineering
Societies Building.
Industry" said Mr.. Afford, who II
vice-prcsident Of the sseiety, "and busi-
ness as developed In modern eiyiliza-
tion must continue else infinite misery
will overtake the human race. Map
agemont is the agency by which COM
munity, state and nation shall endure
The declaration that American In.
dustry Is carrying a heavy burden Of
unused buildings and equipment and
Of wasted time was made by Wallace
Clark, New York industrial engineer
who said that this burden Is an in
heritance Of the late war.
u. 3. Becomes Exporting Nation
Long before 1919" Mr. Clark said,
"we had become an exporting nation
and had increased the capacity Of our
manufacturing plants far beyond our
domestic needs. When tho European
nations went 20 war we added 20 our
factories IN order % provide them with
munitions and food, and after our
entrance into the war the expansion
was even greater. After the armistiee
the lure Of high prices and big profits
caused still further additions 20 plants
and equipment, so that We are now
greatly overequippcd for our own
needs and there is no immediate pros
pect Of a resumption Of trade
Both Mr. Clark and Mr.. Afford agreed
that the burden could be lifted only by
the efforts Of the manufacturer
themselves and that efficient manage
ment is the only certain method.
There are examples said Mr. Al
ford, "wherc good management has
held down prices during a period Of in
hation and reduced prices as soon AZ
business conditions changed. These
acts benefited the consumer. There
fore, the management movement ha'
earned It's economic justification"
