Rain-making Is futile undertak- ing, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. It IS true that in the laboratory a small amount of moisture can be precipitated by the use of special equipment. How ever, to produce one inch of rain over one acre, approximately ii5 tens of moisture would have te be drawn up into the air and then prccipitated. The cloud that spreads over the house tops represents biiiiSns of horsepower and even if some artificial means were found to cause rain, only small amount of precipitation could result.

Columbia Basin Company
Stops Drilling and Or
ders Pumping Outfit
GAS SHOOTS WATER
FROM BAILER MOUTH
Board of Directors Meet
and Declare "We Now
Have Oil Well"

"we have the OIL" This is the mes
sage which came TO Kennewick Mon
day from the well Of the Columbia
Basin Oil company at Alfalfa and has
since been confirmed by several Ken
newick people who have visited the
well.
In view Of the greatly increased
quantities Of both gas and oil, drill
ing has been suspended and complete
casing and pumping equipment has
been ordered from California. The
equipment includes a packer 10 shut
off the water flow, 3200 feet Of cas-
ing, sucker rods and pump barrel.
The decision TO cease drilling and
make final preparations FOR bringing
the well in as a commercial producer
WAS reached at a meeting OF the
board of directors Monday afternoon
after members Of the board had vis-
tied the well and conferred with
Charles Batten, head driller.
The present depth Of the well is
29o0 feet and IL is filled with water
which flows between the six-inch and
the az Inch castings at the 1600-foot
level. The pressure Of this water at
the bottom Of the well is said 10 be
1900 pounds per square inch and Il
is believed that once this pressure
is relieved both gas and oil will be
found in commercial quantities.
For several weeks there has been
a good showing of oil and enough gas
so that when a match was applied
at the top Of the bailer IL would burn
for five minutes. Monday as the
formation became softer splotches Of
oil several inches in diameter began
to break from the water at the cas-
ing head. When the bailer was run
and brought to the surface the gas
pressure shot the water from IL sew
eral feet into the air. s1
In a telephone conversation TO Sec
retary Crawford Of the Commercial
club, Z. b. vogel, manager Of the
company, stated that altho after the
pumping equipment arrives the drill
will probably be operated some to
penetrate a little farther into tho
sands the well, insofar as continued
drilling is concerned il now completed.
He said that while the well may never
be gusher there is no doubt in his
mind or in the minds Of his associates
that they now have commercial
oil well.
