DIES IN SEATTLE
Former Mayor of Kennewick Sue

S. M. Lockerby, formerly mayor
of this city, died Sunday at his home
in Seattle. Death was due to heart
trouble.
Mr.. Lockerby came to Kennewick
Is years ago and established the
First international Bank, of which
he was president. After several years
the bank was reorganized as the
Bank of Kennewich and later became
the American Security bank. After
leaving the bank Mr.. Lockerby took
mn the prartice of law which profes-
sion he followed in North Dakota
before coming to Kennewick. 1t was
while engaged in this profession that
he served two terms as mayor. He has
lived in Seattle since 1918.
He is survived by his widow, a
daughter Desiah, both of Seattle, and
a SON Frank, of Vancouver, Washing

of Journalism of the State University,

out here. The Wenatchee plan is
based on getting the signature of ev-
cry grower authorizing committee
to deduct cents a box on every box
shipped. regardless of whether it is
consigned, sold for cash, or rolled to
an auction market. The first year
Wenatchee sent out hundreds of bust
ness men, bankers, growers and ship
pers to get growers signed up. They
got mpre than rs per cent the first
drive and now have nearly 95 per
cent.
When these contracts were record
ed and filed it was simple matter
to finance the first funds necessary.
The sale Of fruit brought in the mon-
ey later to pay back those who ad-
vanced the money.
The present plan only contemplates
levying an assessment of one cent a
box. It will be necessary to go out
and sign up the growers first, in or
der to assure the collection of the
fund. Local fruit men and growers
do not intend to stop until at least
80 per cent of the growers have
signed.

APPLE GROWERS TALK MARKETING

More than 800 growers, shippers,
business men and bankers jammed
the Commercial club rooms Tuesday
night to here William Garfit, secre-
tary of the Western Fruit Jobbers
association, outline q plan whereby
the entire Northwest apple district
will join together to raise a fund Of
$500, 900 to be spent next year in
trying to increase the consumption
of apples all over the United States,
says the Yakima Republic. So well
did the idea appeal to those present
including leading growers and ship
pers, that a motion to endorse the
plan and appoint a committee to act
with Wenatchee, Walla Walla, Spo-
kane and other district committees,
was carried unanimously. No plan
for joint action by Wenatchee, Yak
ina, Hood River. Spokane and other
Northwest fruit sections ever went
over with so much enthusiasm as was
shown on Tuesday nights meeting.
The nucleus of the plan is that
growers of these districts shall con-
tribute one cent per box to start the
fund. With an estimated 10000, 900
boxes in the Northwest this would
raise $30O,0OO. According to Garfit
if the growers put up this amount
the jobbers who handle fruit and veg
etables would be willing to put up
$150,000. Mills making boxes and
paper, and other industries depend
ent on the apple industry in the
Northwest would also be willing to
contribute, which would give a total
of $500,000 for one big drive next
year to pave the way for a better
market for the 1924 crop. 1t was
conceded at Tuesdays meeting that
it is too late to work on the 1923
crop.
81 merely came out here to show
an idea, hoping to see it germinate in
perhaps three or four years. You go
too fast for me. Many of the de-
tails have not worked out yet" said
Garfit, who is an attractive, young
business man of Chicago who knows
every jobber in the middlewest. "My
idea appealed to the jobbers at our
last annual meeting and they decid-
ed to send me around to see what
could be done to get growers to join
with jobbers in giving the fruit and
vegetable business a little publicity.
A. r. Currie of Seattle insisted that
1 come to the Northwest first, which
is the reason / am here" Garfit is
pleased with the way Yakima grow
ers and shippers took hold of the idea.
In the opinion of local fruit men
who are familiar with the way in
which Wenatchee raises such fund
this method will have to be worked

MORE OIL IN
ATTALIA WELL
Showings of Gas and Oil
Increasing in Columbia
Basin Well

q b p
There is gas and oil in the well of
the Columbia Basin Oil company near
Alfalfa. Of this fact there is no long
er any doubt and experience and
training as geologist or an oil op-
orator is not necessary to verify it.
The editor Of the Courier-Reporter,
in company with other local men Wis
tied the well Tuesday of last week.
At that time there was q considerable
showing of oil on the water which
flows from the casing head and the
showing increased when the bailer
was run. At that time there was
no appreciable showing of gas.
The editor and another party of To-
cal business men visited the well
again yesterday. The oil showings
are now much more pronounced than
they were week ago, so much so
that there is thick coating of oil
on the water as it flows into the
sump. While there the bailer was
again run for us. AS the bailer came
up it appeared to be filled with soda
water. After standing for an instant
the water began to boil and bubble
over the top. One Of the workmen
held lighted torch over it. There
was flash and for three minutes a
flame burned at the top Of the bailer
and spread down around the sides of
the long bucket. It was not the blue
clear flame Of a gas stove but a
heavy yellow flame like that of a
coal oil lamp.
A week ago the drillings brought
up by the bailer were of reddish
brown color. Yesterday the drillings
were black and coarser than those of
a week ago.
The editor never saw a producing
oil well, perhaps wouldn't know one
if he met it, but he does know that
that water that is coming from the
Alfalfa well is coated with something
that looks and smells and burns like
oil and that something that came
from one bailer full of water blazed
for three minutes.
Ed. Vogel, vice president of the CO.
lumbia Basin company, who was at
the well yesterday, says the log of
CHe wen LHOlCaIeS IHAC Tic uruA HAS

that he and his associates are conf

since they have been drilling, more
than three years ago. have they been
so greatly encouraged. He is Of the
opinion that if the water were cased
off the well could be brought in for
small production at the present depth
but they are going to proceed with
the drilling in the hope Of striking
free sands and strong flow of oil.

FIRST GAME
WITH YAKIMA
First Home Game of Inter
scholastic Football Ser
les Is Saturday

Local football enthusiasts will have
the first opportunity to see the Ken
newick High schools first team in
action Saturday afternoon at 2:30
when it meets the Yakima Hi on the
home grounds.
This game was originally scheduled
for Friday but Yakima was unable
to come on that day. The change
brings keen disappointment to the
management of local athletics be-
cause few of the businessmen will
be able to leave their stores Satur-
day to witness the game.
The next home game date is Friday
November 2, when Kennewick will
meet Columbia College of Milton.
Coach Kralowec has been strength
ening the weak spots in his team
and while victory over the Yakima
bunch can hardly be expected the
game promises to be fast and inter-
esting. y
In Pendleton last Friday Kenne-
wick lost the second gme of the sea-
son $50.

DRILL
STARTS SOON
Sullivan Company Replaces
Blown-Down Derrick
with New One

The steel derrick of the Sullivan
Machinery company which had just
been erected in the Rattlesnake Gas
field, was blown down by the high
wind last week. No attempt to again
erect the steel was made but a SUBJ
stantial wooden derrick has been built
and was ready for operation yester-
day. The Sullivan company is under
contract with the Walla Walla Oil
Gas & Pipe Line company to put
down a 4000-foot well with a large
diamond drill. All of the company's
machinery is now in the field and ac-
tual drilling will start within the next
few days.
The derrick has been set up at the
Walla Walla company's well No. 8,
which was drilled to depth of 400
feet after gas had been struck at the
750-foot level.
Drilling with the diamond rig is to
continue to 1000 feet unless oil is
struck at lesser depth.

NEW EQUIPMENT

The Haas Bakery has added to its
already complete equipment an i'm.
proved bread moulder. This new ma
chine makes it possible to mould the
loaves tighter which makes the bread
of finer texture. The local bakery was

special representative of the Fleisch-
man Yeast company, who was here
last week. Albert and Charles Haas
Jr. now have full charge of the bak-
cry. Charles Sr. left the first of the
week for Seattle where he and Mrs
Haas will spend the winter.
