TOURNAMENT POSTPONED

While fifteen or twenty players
showed up at the golf course last
Sunday, it was thought best to post
pone the golf tournament a week on
account of the high wind which pre-
vailed. And, anyway, lot of the
players want more time, so new
plan is to be tried, that Of giving
players a week in which to play the
match instead of one day.
The following is the list of play
ers and their handicaps, paired off
for the first leg of the elimination.

LAMPSON RE-
PORTS ON GRASS
Crop Larger and Returns
Are Higher Than
Last Year

Manager Lee Lampson of the Three
Rivers Growers association has fin
ished his report on the asparagus
handled BY his association during
the season. His report is very en-
couraging and predicts a bright fu-
ture for asparagus growers of this
section.
Mr.. Lampson reports the sale of
28,50O crates, compared to 10000
handled last year. The average net
price to the growers for the season
was $1.44, or nine cents per crate
more than the average for the pre-
vious season. "This proves" said
Lampson, Chat larger crop does
not always mean lower price, as
our range of markets has been ex-
tended and our crop advertized to
such an extent that we were able to
quote even higher prices on a 40 per
cent larger output. Also the quality
of this years crop, because of the
late frost, was not up to last years
standard.
"We are pretty definitely learning
the possibilities and limitations of our
eastern markets." said Mr.. Lamp
son. "We are not bothered much by
eastern competition until May 5th.
"This year, as last year, we shipped
our first car east on April 2, thus
giving us about five weeks Of good
demand in eastern markets. During
this period however, we can dispose
of nearly three-fourths Of our crop,
and after that we have the best shot
of any at the northwest market be-
cause of our superior quality of
grass.
81 am not so much afraid of the
future market for asparagus as 1
am that there might be slight fall
ing off in the quality of the product.
Many new asparagus patches are
coming into. bearing and we should
have more dairy herds to keep up
the fertility of the SOIL"

.ATTALIA OIL
MEN CONFIDENT
Reports From Well Would
Indicate That Operators
Have Struck Oil

We stated in these columns two
weeks ago that the operators Of tho
Columbia Basin Oil company were
acting somewhat differently than
they had ever acted before. Now
they are not acting as they did two
weeks ago. They don't care whether
we get information or not, saying
that few days more will tell wheth-
er or not they have oil in paying
quantities. They feel sure however,
that they have at least proved that
we are in an oil field.
From our sources Of information
the drillers finally cut off the water
flow at the 2700 foot level, about
600 feet above the bottom of the hole.
Then they bailed steadily for several
days under telephone instructions
from their geologist, Mr.. Mayes, of
Portland. Mr.. Mayes is the expert
who told the operators month ago
that they were in oil sands and that
the water must be cased off as it
was already penetrating the oil sand
and driving the oil back, explaining
that practically no gusher would
have enough force behind it to raise
the weight Of over a half mile Of
water.
! Mr.. Mayes states that in his OPP
inion, based on analysis Of the sands
in the bottom of the well, many thou
sands of gallons Of water have been
forced into the sands and will have
to be bailed out before oil begins to
flow. He says now, that it will prob
ably be week before the drillers
can get enough water out Of the cas-
ing and sand so that the lighter oil
units will, Of their own accord, come
to the surface of the ground.
Mr.. Mayes seems SO confident of
his predictions coming true, that he
ordered a shut-off gate placed on
the casing at the top of the well.
Tests are now being made with this
gate to estimate the force Of the oil
and gas as it comes back into the oil
sands. When the gate was released
Monday after being closed three min
utes, it threw column Of water over
fifty feet in the AIR. These tests at
least seem to support the contention
Of Mr.. Mayes that lighter material
is replacing the water as it is bailed
out, as momentary tests with the gate
indicate that the pressure increases
as the water is taken out.
Now we don't know enough about
oil to really analys it with any cer-
tainty just what is going to happen
at Alfalfa. We have heard about oil
wells being lost by water flows
and we surely hope the drillers at
Alfalfa are correct in believing they
have oil, and are surely overcoming
the water pressure in their bailing
operations. This much must be said
for these operators, they at least have
confidence in their belief that they
have found oil. During the past three
weeks they have not only quit selling
stock but have leased everything they
can get hold Of, and actually purchas-
ed 115 acres more land at Alfalfa.
Well, here's luck to them. If they
have oil, every acre between Alfalfa
and Rattlesnake will have some spec
ulative oil value.

EDITOR RIAL
A PRETTY" GOOD GOVERNOR
(By A. r. Gardner)

..s...@a-..a Wy <hs 1cdIuL6Il
AS I knock about the state talking
politics, frequently encounter this
expression, "Well, you will have to
admit that Louis Hart has made a
pretty good governor" Then follows
the companion piece that Mr.. French
is very much the same type of man
and as heir apparent, if elected, he
will too make pretty good gov
ernor.
say frequently, because be it
known that this is the season of
ubiquity for the state employe,
Wherever there is any considerable
gathering Of citizens, to which some
political significance might attach
there will be found state officialdom
ranging in degree from the governor
himself down to the hoof inspector,
all quietly opining that Hart has
made pretty good governor and that
his administration should be perpet-
uated by political bequeathal.
I have no quarrel with those who
advance the argument that Lou
is Hart has made pretty good gov
ernor, or that Mr.. French will make
q pretty good governor. But why
should the people Of the state of
Washington be content with "pret-
ty" good governor?
Undoubtedly every loyal citizen is
proud Of his state, proud of it's match
less resources; of its wide fertile
fields, of its great forests, of its won
derful streams, of its matchless fish
cries, of it's mines, of its growing cit :
les and its pleasant countrysides.
No state in the union has richer
natural heritage, and none finer,
cleaner, higher type of citizenship
But what pride is to be found in the
fact that q truly great state has had,
or may have, a "pretty" good COVER
nor?
Washington is not mediocre
state. Why then should we cater to
or be content with mediocrity in our
political life? In fact our state con-
not grow and develop and expand
commercially, industrially and social
ly and take it's rightful place as a
great state in a union of great states,
if it continues politically weak
Frank o. Lowden, the business
man, with his departmentalized and
systematized state government made
the people of Illinois great COVER
nor. With plan patterned after
the Illinois system, Louis Hart, the
politician made the people of Wash
ington pretty" good governor.
Doubtless Mr.. French, the politician.
will do as we'll.
In the present gubernatorial con-
test, the republicans have an oppor-
tunity to choose between business
man and flock of politicians. Ro-
land H. Hartley may not be another
Frank Lowden but he is a business
man of recognized and proven abili-
ty; man who looks upon the office
of governor as that of the states
business manager and not as po-
litical job. If given the chance ne
will erase the pretty" from the gov
ernorship and make the people OF
Washington better, if not a great
governor.

Below is an estimate of how a ma

that the states will cast their cleo

many local experts who disagree with
the nations chief prognosticators. We
believe therefore a guessing contest

Big Y Closes Bing Pool

H. w. Desgranges, manager of the
Big Y closed his pool on Bing cher
ries this week. The average net price
paid the grower was 17.6 cents per
pound. Mr.. Desgranges states that
this is the highest price paid since
the war, when the growers once re-
ceived 18h cents.
The Big Y warehouse is again
showing signs of activity. Pears are
being packed out at the rate OF a
car and half day and are bring
ing wonderful prices for the grow
ers. Mr.. Desgranges says that IAN
cys are bringing $2.65 per box.
I, Most of the Benton City growers
are using the Big Y warehouse Tor
their pears. They already have Sooo
boxes in storage and Mr.. Desgrang-
es expects them to bring down nearly
that many more this week.

allotted naval aviation by Congress
is not sufficient to fulfill the needs
of the fleet and land-reserve. To
build additional racing equipment
would necessitate inroads on the
money at hand.
The land and sea planes that estab-
liahed record performances last year
however. are still in possession OF
the Navy and are considered the
superiors of any existing today. Be-
tween now and September. the date

If the Navy is not present with it's

the lack of competition unless, Of

lots can be prevailed upon to enter
the contest, or private interests in
America will build planes and COM
pete for the trophy. 1t is understood
that one European nation last year
considered sending a noted speed
pilot to fly against the Army and
Navy. but when 1t heard of the un-
believable speeds achieved in pre-

has no racing planes either for land
or sea than can compete with the
American-built ships. 1t is believed.

Protection for the farmer, square
deal for the laborer, a bonus for war
veterans and the calling of an inter
national economic conference were
the four demands put forth by Sena-
tor Copeland for the present and
future welfare of the United Sattes.
Senator Copeland said that by re-
