FIND SHOWING.

The Gulf James Cardwen No. 1
about five miles southwest of the
field is at 1900 feet in Austin chalk.
Blue rock, a formation noted in pro-
ducing wells in the Luling field, was
found in this test at 200 feet.
Another interesting well is the
Thomas-Jordan five miles east of
Lockhsrt. The bit in this test rests at
400 feet. Gas and oil showings have
been encountered all the way down.
The formation the drill is now in is
said TO be green shale, and a core was
taken at that depth with an odor Of
oil. Hard gumbo has made the drill
ing of this test slow and hard sand
rock at the top caused some trouble.
The Taylor-Marl was found at 800
feet. The hole was being rat-tailed
and a smaller pipe was being placed.

next year by about twenty-five per
cent. Judging from the amount OF
seed already sold this year, according
to Mr.. Lampson. But on the other
hand there will be a distinct loss in
the berry business. The acreage has
been greatly reduced on account OF
the freeze last year and the inability
to procure suitable planting stock
This feature is greatly to be regretted
as strawberries are the big money
crop from the early sections, and the
Kennewick district has an established
reputation that should be maintained
on this commodity.
The adoption of the pyramid style
of packing the asparagus was adopt
ed at the meeting as standard. The
formation of daily instead of weekly
pools on the early potatoes was also
decided upon.

HARTLEY TELLS

BOSS OF WORKS
CONTINUED from front page)

legislature do? What will people
say? It will take little time to get
the true answer, but one thing clear
is that Mr.. Hartley, pulling himself
out of hole, is a horse up on the
legislature. It is the legislature
move, assuming. of course, that Mr..
Hartley intends to submit concrete
measures on his recommendations.
It should not be difficult, however,
to make fairly accurate forecast OF
the legislatures course. To start
with, it is not likely that the legis-
lature will quit cold-that would be
interpreted to mean that the legis-
llators were afraid to face the gait.
Therefore, it is assumed that the
legislature will stick for a while.
Thereupon, it is likely that the leg
islature will Immediately pass two
resolutions one stopping the intro
duction of bills, the other fixing the
time of adjournment, probably two
or three days for Christmas. Next,
sidetrack $50 or 200 bills Of little
interest and little worth.
Then go to bat on Mr.. Hartley's
recommendations, passing most OF
the original ones, but hitting the
rocks on the five that Mr.. Hartley
has re-emphasized. Briefly, the
chances at this time, in the judgment
of this reporter, are:
Mr.. Hartley will have hard going
ON his one board of education. close
fight and a warm one. Likewise on
his plan to reorganize the common
schools. In both cases, it looks as II
Mr.. Hartley is bucking odds.
State printing of school books
stands a fair chance Of enactment.
Mr.. Hartley is in line to receive
trouncing on his plan to cut the high
way program. Senator Oliver Hall,
Senator Carlyon and other powerful
legislators will go to the last ditch
against any reduction.
The question of the sale of state
timber is debatable at this time, al
tho the prevailing sentiment is that
it should be ventilated on the theory
that there is grounds for suspicion.
This, undoubtedly, is Mr.. Hartley's
biggest peg, and it is likely to take
the stage as the most colorful fight
in years.
These questions, it is almost sure,
will not be fully settled; throwing
the issue up to the voters.

LYCEUM LECTURE TUESDAY
NEXT

DIR. Henry Black Burns, who will
lecture here on Tuesday evening at
the High School, is not Doctor Of
Divinity, yet he believes as many
other prominent thinkers of today,
that the remedy for the worlds state
of upheaval is a revival of religion
an application of Christianity begin
ming in the home.
DR.. Burns is speaker who does
not fear to call things by their right
names; he does not throw bouqets,
and smooth over what he knows to be
faulty, but unflinchingly tells the
truth about them, despite the posi-
bility of making himself unpopular
by so doing. But he does not make
himself unpopular, because he has the
rare faculty of telling the people
what they do not like to hear in such
a way that they take it and are bet
ter for it, just like the better medi-
cine the old family physician pours
into the spoon and makes us swallow.
Years on the platform have devel-
oped DR.. Burns and ripened his pow
ers as aspublic speaker. Of Scotch
blood, and reared amid the hardships
of Pennsylvania farm, where he
labored as youth, then worked at
various occupations to gain his pro-
fessional education as an IN. d.,
DR.. Burns has been nodded into fine
specimen of manhood which hates
sham and is characterized by it's
quick human sympathy and under
standing.

MOUNTAIN LIONS GIVE
HUNTER HOLIDAY THRILL

For most of the seasoned Govern
ment hunters the life from day to
day is not particularly exciting, but
adventure with catlike tread is often
approaching just around the corner.
Shortly before Christmas, hunter Viii
liam Krepps, of the Biological Sur
vey, United States Department of
Agriculture, working on the Rio
Grande National ForesA turned a
corner which brought him face to
face with adventure four times COM
pounded. He had a coyote poison
line laid northwest Of Del Norte,
Colo, on the divide between LaGar-
tia and Old Woman Creek. In the
course of riding this poison line to
check up on the results Of his cam
paign he came across the caftass of
freshly killed five-point buck.
TO continue the story in the words
Of Stanley P. Young, junior biologist
who reported the incident to the Bio
logical Survey, he noted lion tracks
and that the killing Of this deer has
been done by mountain lion. Hav-
ing wonderful tracking conditions,
because of the snow, he Immediately
struck out horseback and followed the
trail Within a short distance he
jumped four lions and killed the whole
outfit with his rifle"
In speaking of his experience, Hun
ter Krepps said: 'sThe time was ex-
citing for few seconds, but / man
aged to kill the pack" Mr.. Young
expressed the belief that the hunter
was telling the truth about the ex-
citing moment, and added that this
was the best single-handed kill Of
mountain lions in a short course Of
time ever made in that district.

PAINT THE MAIL BOX

Special attention Of the postmas-
ter here, and in other towns about
BeIington where rural delivery is in
operation has been called by Uncle
Sam to the need of keeping the rural
mail box painted and in good repair.
"A recent survey was made by govern
nent officials and it was found that
on almost every rural route there are
from one to a score of mail boxes
that need painting, that are not wat
erproof or that are poorly fastened
in place. Exposure to the elements
is usually responsible. So that their
appearance may be improved the de-
partment suggests that the boxes be
painted white with owners name, on
both sides of the box, in black let
tiers. Of course, refusal to paint box
es does not mean that service will be
withdrawn, but Uncle Sam feels that
Ill patrons of his postoffice depart
rnent should appreciate the service
rendered enough to cooperate a little
at least to the extent of providing
neat and waterproof boxes in, which
to get their mail.

U B NOTES

The meeting is growing in interest
at the U. B. Chruch. A large crowd
attended the services Wednesday
night. The ablest sermon preached
in the U. B. Chruch for some time
was preached by Rev. Edwin Cross
Wednesday night. His earnest APP
peal to outsiders brought convictions
to their souls, and the church set on
fire by the Holy Spirit which resulted
in number of conversions.
Much good has already been ac-
complished but greater things are ex-
pected in the near future at these
meetings. Everybody cordially in
vited to come and hear this great
man of God and help to bring about
the salvation of lost souls.

BIG MINK KILLED

One Of the largest ever known In
this section, measuring from tip to
tip 32 inches, and was a very dark
brown. The mink was caught in
trap about week ago by G. o. Nc
Wicker, but the trap only got part of
its toe. Wednesday it was seen in
the pole yards of w. T. McVicker,
the crowd gathered and Henry Moore
who is wonderful marksman shot it,
but seemed to only to be stunned and
it made for the pole yards. Then
Walter McVicker came on the scene
and after tearing down most Of the
poles in the yard finally came upon
it and with fierce fight caught the
animal. The question is at present.
Who's is it? Ord McVicker first
caught it--but couldn't hold it. Then
Henry Moore shot it and did not
bring it to earth. Then Walt Nc
Wicker got possession and hired
"Nimrod" House to skin it and put on
a board and may be now viewed at
his place. Walt says if he has good
luck he may become millionaire
from the proceeds.
