mo RODEO" MAYOR;
20. K.o SAYS COUNCIL
Permission is Granted Lodgemen to
Hold Celebration on Sunday
Expect Many Visitors

The local Moose lodge ran into a
little difficulty this week when May
or j. C. Leibee refused to allow them
to hold their rodeo October IL. When
applying for their permit to stage
the show the lodgmen neglected to
state that October IL fell on Sunday.
AS soon as the mayor discovered the
fact he called the whole deal off.
In the meantime hackers of the
show had issued their invitations and
got out a lot of advertising and spent
quite lot of effort in securing a
large attendance from outside points.
With these facts in view special
meeting of the council was called
last night and the matter was put
to a vote. While not particularly in
favor of allowing a rodeo held on
Sunday, in view of the fact that SO
much of the preliminary work had
already been done, the vote of the
council was unanimously in favor of
allowing their permit to stand as
granted.
Owing to Kennewick's location and
the novelty of the entertainment be-
ing planned local lodgemen expect
to secure much favorable publicity
for the town and the order. They ex-
pect to entertain in the neighborhood
of a thousand lodgemen on that day.

COUNTY BUDGET
ASKS FOR NEW
COURT HOUSE
Commissioners Tn cl u d G
100000 Item in "Capital
Outlay" for Next Year
PROSSER PEOPLE ARE
CERTAIN OF BUILDING
Briggs Votes Against
Stockdale gets Many Sig
natures in KenneWick

The county commissioners in max
ing up their estimated budget for the
ensuing year have included an item
of 100000 for the building of a
court house. Included also, however
is an item of $4,000 under the head
of vault and vault repairs. .
Evidently Benton County is due
to have a home Of it's own, in spite
Of the fact that protest has been
registered against it from this end
of the county.
The adoption Of these two items in
the preliminary budget will allow the
commissioners to decide at their meet
ing in October which Of the items to
include in the final budget. If they
select the larger amount construc-
tion of the court house will not doubt
be started as soon as plans can be
drawn and the contract let.
If, on the other hand, the smaller
amount is the one included in the
final budget, then the actual con-
struction will be delayed for another
year at least.
Prosser people look to the commits
sioners for the inclusion of the $780,
900 item. It would appear from the
vote taken at the last meeting of the
commissioners that Commissioner
Briggs is the only one of the COM
missioners not in favor Of the new
building. In Prosser the fact that
this item was included in the pre-
liminary budget means that the new
building is assured.
Last week T. j. Stockdale, prom
inent Prosser man, was in kenne-
wick with a petition to the COM
nissioners, stating that the signers
were not in favor of a special cleo
ton on the court house proposition.
He secured many signers in Kenne-
wick. This paper, of course, will be
used as an argument before the COM
missioners that the Kennewick peo-
pie were Indifferent on the question.
The argument used here in securing
the signers was that vote wouldn't
really mean anything but would sim
ply. result in another race between
the east and west ends of the county
to see which could drag in to the
polls, the larger number of voters.
And in the end the result would be
as it always has been-a division OF
sentiment.
Unless some strenuous objection
is raised, undoubtedly Benton coun-
ty will soon lose it's distinction Of
being the only county in the state
without a court house.

GROWERS WIN =
VS.. PENNINGTON
Supreme Court Upholds De
cision - Disposes of Case
Against 150 Growers

A supreme court decision was
handed down last week affecting
many local growers. The case of the
Marketing Union VS.. Pennington &;
Co., has been settled and recovery
made by the growers from Penning-
ton.
The suit was for crops grown in
1921 handled by The Marketing I'm
ion, the sales end being managed by
Pennington & Co. The Marketing
Union sued for the difference be-
tween the reported sales prices of
the various commodities and the
amount Pennington & Company stat
ed they received for them. The Union
contended that the products were TO
be sold fob. Kennewick and that
Pennington shipped on consignment,
contrary to their sales contract.
Under the decision just handed
down Pennington & Company must
pay the difference, with some four
years interest as well as the costs
of the case.
This decision also disposes of the
suit brought by Pennington & Com
pany against some hundred fifty odd
growers on account of overpayments
made during the season.

AM. SECURITY
BANK CLOSES
Affairs Now in Hands Of
State Officials Pasco
Failure Cause

The affairs of the American Sc
curity bank were turned over to the
state supervisor of banking at ten
o'clock this morning. The move was
made. for the protection Of the de-
positors, and was due to the fact
that the legal reserve had been low
cred.
In statement this afternoon
Cashier j. A. Hatch stated that after a
meeting of the board of directors it
was decided that in order to prevent
"a list Of preferred creditors the bank
would cease operation, putting all de-
positors on the same basis.
According to Deputy State Super
visor Of Banking G. S. Woody, the
bank statement up to last night
showed that the assets as listed
amounted to $122,O0O, while the de-
posit liability was about $4,000. The
amount of loss sustained is, of course
entirely problematical, as it is i'm
possible to determine how close their
paper can be cleaned up.
Since the closing of the bank in
Pasco recently our deposits have
been falling off, said Mr.. Hatch,
"and as there was no immediate pros
poets of building up the reserve
again, it was thought best by the di-
rectors to put all our depositors on
the same footing. So we closed the
doors this morning, after every eff
fort had been made to keep the place
going, considering safety. A consoli-
dation had been attempted, but ow-
ing to legal difficulties, lawsuits and
so on that we haven't had settled yet,
it was impossible to make the deal,
altho want to say that Mr.. john
son was absolutely fair in the stand
he took in the matter.
eve felt that one strong bank was
better for the town in every way.
With this in mind, every possible
plan was attempted. Everybody re-
allied that the closing Of bank is
regrettable, but our action, taken
when it was, was entirely for the
protection of the depositors. .
Complying with the legalities OF
the case the affairs Of the bank will
be put into the hands of a deputy
from the state department. Four
months is the shortest possible time
in which settlement can be made by
the bank, but at that time it is hoped
that substantial portion of the de-
posits can be liquidated.

MI, AND GAS
SHOWS AGAIN
ATTALIA WE'LL
Drill Pierces Kootenai Sand
and Operators Confident
of Production
WE'LL IS 3774 FEET
DEEP AT PRESENT
Barring Accident, Fight is
Over" Says Col. Adams
1The Field is Proven

aYes, sir! It's fact. We have oil
at Alfalfa.
Cox ]. w. Adams, who has been
connected with the Alfalfa Oil COM
nany for the past five or six years,
iubilantly made the above statement
Yesterday.
Suddenly piercing the hard cap
rock at depth of 3774 feet the big
dril sank into Kootenai sand and
foIlowing it's withdrawal oil and gas
came to the top of the $500 feet
Of water with which the we'll was
filed
Mr.. Adams explained that practi-
cslly every producing well in the
west struck oil in the Kootenai sands.
California, Wyoming, Montana and
the bulk Of the Texas wells found
their paying productions upon the
piercing of the pinkish Kootenai
sands.
Barring accident, the fight is ov-
er. We have proved what everyone
in the company has been confident
Of all along that we were in the
right location and that there was oil
IN commercial quantities under our
lands. The oil is there and we have
it. And the gas coming, from the well
is wonderful. With the removal of
the heavy column of water the pres
sure is gradually increasing. It is
only matter now of removing the
weight. If the pressure is as great
as we believe it will shoot the oil
far above our derrick" said Mr..
Adams.
A couple Of weeks ago the drillers
struck oil sand. The casing was re-
moved and the larger bit put to work.
Late last week the big drill struck
the hard cap rock and with the stroke
increased to 81 inches, it was pune
tured. With the removal of the cas-
ing, which was too small to allow
the big bit to drop, the well was
filed with water. The removal of the
bit brought up the oil and the sand
which had been encountered. How
ever, there was $500 feet of water
in the well.
Since the casing has been replaced
the drillers have been engaged in
baling out the water. Some twenty
iVe hundred feet has been baled out
and the remaining water, owing to
the depth of the well, is being taken
out more slowly. When the water
level has been lowered another five
OF SIX hundred feet those most in
terested in the development Of the
well are confident that the gas. pres
sure will relieve them of all further
labor.
All We want to do is to prove
beyond all doubt that we really have
OIL IN commercial quantities" said
ooL Adams, who has followed the
9h game for many years and who
mas had experience in most of the
producing sections. "Our well is too
small to make it pay big. But with
How from this well assured there
sli soon be many wells within sight
Of Kennewick."
