HAY GROWERS
MEET SATURDAY
Organization of Northwest
Association to be Com
pleted in Yakima

Wheels of the newly created North
west Hay association will start to
grind at 10 o'clock Saturday MORN
ing when az delegates from IL val
ley communities meet at the Com
mercial club to count the ballots cast
during the week by the 900 associa-
ton members for directors, and to
take other steps toward putting the
organization into action, says the
Yakima Republic.
District meetings are being held
this week and it is expected the dele
gates will bring many proxy votes
with them to Saturdays meeting"
L. A. Hunt, secretary of the organ
ization committee says. Mr.. Hunt re-
ported at the farm bureau office this
morning for the first time in ten
days. He has been at his home in
Hermiston and at the coast.s
"The adoption of bylaws, discus
sion of questions of policy, and gen.
eral business problems will face the
Saturday morning session. A tenn
porary chairman will be named from
the group. With the exception of this
meeting. the delegates will likely not
hold another general gathering. They
will, however, function in their own
communities" Hunt explains.
E. L. French, state director of ag-
riculture, has been notified of the
refusal Of w. L. Steinweg, president
of the First National Bank, to ac-
cept the position of states represen-
tative on the board. Mr.. French will
likely make his new appointment
known Saturday, say the hay officials.
Following the selection of the exc
cutive board, meeting of the board
members will be held for organization
purposes. The association has ap-
proximately 10000 tons. of hay
signed and on account of the great
volume Of business which the organ
ization will handle, interest in the se-
lection of paid manager is high.
Considerable speculation among MEM
bers and others, as to who will be
the active manager is being heard.
Delegates from the Benton district
are w. r. Ocheltree, A. =. Whan, C.
Puderbaugh and Merle Radelmeyer.

KENNEWICK IN
THE RUNNING
H. A. Hover Says Some Of
the Old Dreams are Due
to Come True

Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Hover who are
on a leisurely motor trip from Cali
fornia to Montana spent several days
in Kennewick this week.
Mr.. Hover was one Of the starters
of development in this valley and is
still a large owner Of Kennewick
property. While here he motored up
and down the valley and over the
Highlands and expressed great sur
prise at the bumper crops and the
general growth of the rural districts.
"Let me tell you Kennewick is still
in the running" said Mr.. Hover.
"Some of the developments we
dreamed of 10 or Is years ago are
surely coming to pass. The Wenat-
chez Southern railroad, which we used
to refer to as the Kennewick-N North
ern, is going to be built. It is going
to mean more to Kennewick than
you realize. The irrigation of the
higher lands around Kennewick which
has always been one of the big pos
sibilities of future development can
now be taken out of the category
of a future possibility, for l believe
the building of the Kennewick Unit
of the Yakima project is practically
assured.
Natural gas of course. is not one
of our old dreams. It has come into
the picture later and it has brought
with it great possibilities. / haven't
a doubt but that the city will accept
the proposition to pipe the gas here.
If the gas comes, manufacturing is
certain to follow. There is an abun-
dance of raw materials tributary to
Kennewick. Cheap fuel and cheap
power, matchless transportation facil-
tiles, and available raw manufactur-
tiles, and available raw materials is
a combination that is bound to appeal
to manufacturers. What's more, oil is
going to be struck somewhere in

WANTS GAS
Secretary Crawford Says
Public Shows Interest in
Piping Proposal

rI'll say they are interested in
gas" declared w. r. Crawford today
when asked what response had beer
received from the -questionaire sent
out by the Commercial club. The
QUESTIONABLE mailed to residents OF
the city, asked for figures on last
years consumption Of coal, oil and
electricity for cooking and heating
purposes.
81 have made no effort to check
the replies, but believe practically ev-
eryone has answered the question
aire," said Mr.. Crawford. The data
contained in the questionable will be
turned over. to C. r. Collins, of Sc
attic, who has been engaged to make
a preliminary survey of Kennewick
and Pasco.
Mr.. Collins has notified the Com
mercial club that he will be ready to
begin the survey October and es-
Inmates, that from seven to ten days
will be required to complete the work.
The investigation will be only of
a preliminary nature but sufficient
data will be collected to enable the
cities of Kennewick and Pasco to de-
eide whether or not they can accept
the offer of Eugene Enloe to pipe
the gas from the Rattlesnake wells
and wholesale it to the cities at 80
cents per thousand cubic feet.
The data so gathered will be sub
mitted to the city council for con-
sideration but the expense of the
survey will be borne by the Com
mercial club. The question will be
discussed at the regular meeting this
evening and committee will prob
ably be named to raise the money
by popular subscription.

depth of 1000 feet. The rig will be
set up at the Walla Walla company's
No. -Four well which was drilled to
. depth of 14O0 feet with Standard
rig. Gas was struck at a depth of
about $50 feet, was cased off and
drilling operations continued. This
well Is mile and half northwest of
well No. Two, known as the big gas
well. No. four was selected for the
deep test upon the recommendation
Of W. r. Calvert one Of the country's
foremost petroleum engineers.
The Sullivan company is the largest
diamond-core drillers in the world and
they will use one of the largest and
best rigs on the local contract. The
outfit will be operated by their own
drillers and the work carried on un-
der the personal direction Of their

especially designed for the basaltic
The Walla Walla company's big
formation Of this field is being used
with very satisfactory results. "This
new type of bit is demonstrating
on Well No. Six. A new type of bit,
that after all this field is going to
be easily and economically drilled,
said Mr.. James. 'The hard formation
Is going to proof its best asset, in that
the walls stand up which renders
casing trouble negligible"
In order to be closer to the scene
Of activity, Mr.. James has furnished
one Of the gas-heated and gas-lighted
cabins in the field and he and Mrs.
James will make their home there
until next spring.

All that was earthly of George

Baldwin was found dead on
