OIL? MEBBE;
MEBBE NOT

Have they, or have they not, found
oil at the Alfalfa well Of the Colum-
bia Basin Oil Co.? This question
seems to be troubling a great many
Kennewick people ard the rumors are
flying thick and fast. From what
this paper can learn from surface in
dications il really begins to look like
the operators down there have found
something. At least they are acting
differently than we ever saw them
act before. @#. #a. 2.#as %
In the first place we know that
the well is about 1900 feet deep and
during the past few weeks several
geoIogists have been at Alfalfa. We
know also that these experts advised
the operators to stop drilling and
case off the water, which has been
running from an upper strata and
flowing over the top Of the well. They
were also advised that the weight Of
this water would hold back an oil
flow. .as
Then we know that carload Of
pipe was ordered from San Francis
co, was installed in the well, and the
drillers began bailing out. We know
then that after several days of bail
ing in which time most of the water
was taken out, that we got a rumor
that the bailer was "busted" and they
would be delayed for a few days.
Then we couldn't get any more in
formation and wondered why it took
SO long to fix simple little bailer.
Then we've wondered why people
who have talked so freely before
should suddenly get so close-mouthed.
Then we got the rumor from the
well that the showing was very poor
and we again felt sorry for them, tho
it was the first pessimistic report we
ever heard from that neignborhood.
Now, however, we don't feel so
sorry for them. They don't welcome
people around the well like they have
been doing and instead Of encourag-
ing as they should, from their adj
versed report, they are expanding
their territory by the purchase of adj
ditional leases on land. At the same
time we can't find that this Alfalfa
bunch are crazy to sell stock.
Now we don't know what to make
of all these facts, but we are con-
WINGED that the facts look suspicious.
We hope further there is real reason
for suspicion, for il any prospectors
ever deserved finding golden ledge,
it is that Alfalfa crowd.

HOLD OUR FAIR
In AUGUST

AT special meeting of the Kenne-
wick Fair association held Wednes-
day evening the committee decided to
try to hold its annual fair August
% and 30th instead of in September
as heretofore.
Several considerations brought up
this decision. In the first place, be-
cause of the foot and mouth excuse,
the state will not hold its annual
fair at Yakima, and in the second
place, the committee in charge has
never really conducted the local fair
with the idea Of showing products
only to local people. Behind the idea
of local fair has really been the idea
of assembling products to send to
outside expositions, such as the state
fair at Yakima. With the Yakima
fair off the boards, there appears
nothing in sight but the Interstate
fair at Spokane. As this fair will
take place early in September the
committee believes the only thing
to do is to advance the date of the
local fair in order to assemble our
display and show the outside world
at Spokane what we can produce.
The fair committee is of the opin-
ion that the display this year should
be Benton county affair and is ask
ing the Commercials clubs Of both
Prosser and Kennewick to pledge $50
each to help cover the expense Of
sending the display to Spokane. If
Prosser does not wish to take part
in all probability the local committee
will send straight Kennewick pro-
ducts show and advertise Kennewiclr
and immediate vicinity. The local
club has always helped put the fair
over and will undoubtedly do its share
this year.
The fair committee reports their as
sociation to be in splendid condition
financially. They started in three
years ago with nothing and now have
$500 in the bank. Some members of
the Commercial club believe that the
committee should now be able to
paddle its own canoe; however, the
committee held stoutly to the claim
that they have accumulated this mon
ey by efficient management and in
genious methods of raising money,
all of which required hard work. They
further state that their committee
was formed with the idea Of build
ing large fund to be used for pur-
chase of permanent grounds and
buildings.

REEMAN HERE

Hon. Fred G. Reeman, OF Tacoma
candidate for lieutenant governor or
the republican ticket, visited kenne'
wick Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Rec
man, since coming to Washington II
1907, has been very active in the po,
litical life of the state, especially III
Pierce county where he served three
years as deputy prosecuting attorney
and four years as prosecuting attor'
ney. During the past six years MI
Keenan, has ably represented Pierce
county in the legislature.
Because of his experience and tne
fact that Pirce county, which is the
second largest county in the state
has no other candidate for state
office, Mr.. Keenan, feels that ne Is
at least entitled to consideration pS
the voters of the East side.

PORTLAND MEN
VISIT KENNEWICK

Forty-three Portland business men
delegates to Columbia Basin meet.
ing at Pasco, visited Kennewick Mon
day morning as guests of the Ken
newick Commercial club. The Port
land delegation was brought by ma
chimes from Pasco and taken for 3
trip thru the city and over the Ken
newick Highlands.
The Portland mne seemed to thor
oly enjoy their Kennewick visit, and
asked a thousan d questions about
our country.
The trip over the Highlands and
down the river road, they said, made
them realize to some extent, the
wonderful Transformation that could
be attained by irrigation of arid land.
The local men were much pleased
with interest displayed by the Port
landers in cooperative marketing,
and the determination expressed by
them to do all in their power to help
put the farmer nhis feet financially.
To Col. E. E. Daville, editor Of the
Western Farmer and member of the
Portland party, is given much credit
for educating the Portland Chamber
to- the necessity of farmers selling
organizations. Col. Faville's first
question was: How is Lee Lampson
and how is the Three Rivers organ
ization? And on it went until all the
Portlanders found out lot about
Kennewick and our way of doing bus
mess.
Before the Portlanders left for
Pasco they were driven by the Church
Mfg. Co. where they filled up on
about every kind of drink made at
the plant. They have all seen and
heard lot about Church's Grape
Juice and went thru the establish
ment with much interest.
The automobiles for the trip to
Pasco and return were furnished by
L. E. johnson, j. B. Gilmore, ]. N.
Muldrow, A. F. Brown, Win Gas
coigne, C. s. Knowles, H. r. Vibber,
Speck Buick and F. j. Arnold. Their
courtesy was much appreciated by
the Portland delegation and the local
club, as both communities were great
ly benefited by a closer acquaint-
ance.

BRING
MORE MONEY

The potato harvest is at its height
and Lee M. Lampson, manager of
the Three Rivers Growers associa-
tion, announces that his agency has
to date already shipped twenty-four
carloads.
"On twenty-three cars we have
done well, averaging 81 or So per
ton better than last year." said Mr..
Lampson. "Until today we have had
to sell no shipment less than $40, but
today we were forced to quote $35
before we could get a buyer"
During the past day or two Mr..
Lampson stated that the early Sound
and South Idaho spuds were coming
into the Northwest markets, and it
was impossible to hold the price up.
He stated further that local competi-
tion had injured the market all sea-
son, as local agents had been quoting
under the association price all season,
thus costing the farmers of this dis
trict hundreds Of dollars.

MOULTON FILES

Mark M. Moulton, state represen-
tative from Benton county, filed as
a candidate this week for reelection
to the lower house Of the legislature.
This makes Mr.. Moulton's third trip
to the bat, and it is generally be-
lieved he will have no opposition in
either party for reelection. .
At the last session of the legisla-
ture Mr.. Moulton was made chair
man of the important judiciary COM
mittee and in this position he was
called upon to take the floor on many
occasions. .ers a4 s. .s
Mr.. Moulton says he is interested
in no particular legislation for this
district, but is vitality interested, like
all other citizens, in good Legislation
for the whole state.

MEEKER WANTS
NACHES OPEN

Ezra Meeker, pioneer extraordinary
who has been passing occasionally
thru Kennewick the last seventy
wears, paid the city another visit last
Monday. Mr.. Meeker, tho ninety-four
wears old, is a candidate for the leg
islature from one of the Seattle dis
tricts. He is, however, so certain
of election that he is making a CAM
paign of the state in the interest OF
Naches Pass.
Mr.. Meeker is meeting with legis-
Jators and commercial bodies where
ever he goes in his campaign to get
the state to concentrate its euergles
and money on the development OF
Naches Pass, which he first crossed
seventy years ago. At a meeting in
the Commercial club room Mr.. Meek
or outlined his plan for what he con-
tended would be the shortest and most
feasible all-year cross state route
possible of construction.
The Naches Pass as now surveyed
hv the state is called the Chinook
pass by Mr.. Meeker who claims that
selfish mining interests are respon-
sible for the mislocation of this trail.
Mr.. Meeker argues that a tunnel
two miles long should pierce the Cas-
cades at the Naches Pass, thereby
saving % miles in distance and low
er;ne the altitude 100 feet. The
cost of this tunnel is estimated at
$3.50 900, but Mr.. Meeker considers
This amount Insignificant compared
TO the benefit to be derived from a
practically all-year route across the
state.

SPECIAL ELECTION

Rev. F. L. Fraser, clerk OF tne

election for levying six-maii tax
which will be held July % at tne
City hall. The purpose OF the ado,-

to meet the current school expenses
for the coming year.
A year ago this district voted . !,
nine-mill levy for this purpose ano
the reduction this year, Mr.. fraser
states, is possible because OF reduc.
ed salaries and general cutting oi
the expenses by the board. In case
the special levy should fail to carry
Mr.. Fraser states that the aiterna.

X. K. X.

Last Friday night Kennewick wa:
officially put on the map by the in.
visible empire known as the Ku Klus
kan, when a large flaming cross ap.
peared on one of the hills south OF
town.
Ihis paper is unable to get any
details of whether the ceremony was
an initiation or simply demonstra-
ton, but it is generally known that
sixteen or seventeen automobiles came
into town after the meeting and most
OF them were Pasco cars. 1t might
be just a coincidence, but several have
reported that their neighbors came in
late that night.

P. 81. WIN PRIZE
OF FIFTY BUCKS

ITO increase your cracker business" !"
say Price & Lincoln, modern mer-
chants in Kennewick, Washington,
eliminate shelf goods entirely. Pile
your shipment in irregular but neat
piles in conspicuous places about the
store. Put a sign or two of your
own original wording on your display.
This coupled with word of reference
to crackers and cookies from your
clerks, will so materially affect your
cracker sales that you will not even
wish to go back to the old way OF
displaying crackers on shelves.
"We have nearly doubled our crack
er volume by bringing our cookie
rack well in the center Of the store,
near the door. This rack, kept clean
and well stocked, tempts customers
dozens of times each day.
"We never warehouse our. crackers.
No matter what the size of the ship
ment may be, our warehouseman is
instructed to truck the entire ship
ment into the store. The stockman
unpacks and stacks up the entire lot
in conspicuous place. The entire
shipment is used, including box sodas,
five-pound boxes of plain, salt and
graham, box oyster crackers, all the
package goods, plain and fancy.
Bulk sodas are opened and sold out
of original boxes right from this big
pile. The crackers look fresh and
inviting. They are easily accessible.
The clerla likes to sell them because
they are handy. We can say with
certainty that 40 per cent to so per
cent of our crackers business is due
to our method of getting them before
the public" V" 0. Price.
Because of the above letter Price
& Lincoln have become richer in the
sum of fifty dollars. The letter
written by Mr.. Price won first prize
in competition with seventy-nine
other Northwest merchants. The
prizes were offered by the Pacific
Coast Biscuit Co. for letters describ-
ing selling methods that had in
creased cracker sales. The second
and third prizes went to Seattle and
Redmond, Ore.
