Roads Committee Getting
an Early Start with
Work and Signs

by the board Of directors to act as
secretary for the Kennewick Com
mercial club for the coming year,
taking the post vacated by the res
ignation Of Rev. A. HI. f. Watkins.
Thru press of his other duties, Mr..
Watkins felt that he could not devote
the necessary time to the club work
the coming year.
"Much of the success of the work
of commercial club depends upon
the secretary" said President d. G..
Rodgers today, speaking Of the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Maupin. "Mr. Wat
kins has accomplished much in the
past year and we expect equally fine
results from Mr.. Maupin's efforts"
Among other plans for the coming
year that We're discussed at the last
meeting of the club was the hiring
of Mr.. Cook again this year for the
early frost warnings. Mr.. Cook has
at his command much data gathered
last year in his work here and the
department of agriculture has again
given him this territory for the ear
ly spring work. Mr.. Cook will come
here following the closing of the
danger season in lower California.
He will have an assistant this year.
During nights where there is danger
the assistant will be stationed at the
key station and warnings given in
plenty of time for the growers to
make preparations.
Speaking of Mr.. Cooks work, Mr..
Rodgers said that, with no previous
data available here Mr.. Cook was
correct in his forecasts 73 per cent
Of the time. This year with further
figures to start from Mr.. Cook ex-
poets to be right better than 80 per
cent of the time.
The roads and tourists committee
of the club is already getting active
on the years work and have assur-
ances from the county officers that
the Umatilla Cutoff will be COM
pleted this year and the entire dis
tance to the river graded and grav-
elled. Large signs will be erected on

ing the advantages Of Kennewick and

WORK AGAIN AT
ATTALIA WELL.
New Casing Being Installed
in Test Hole Below
Town

The new three-inch casing for the
oil well, which was ordered about
three weeks ago from California. ar
rived in Portland by boat Sunday,
according to story printed in the
Alfalfa paper recently. Carl Kupers
president of the company, personally
made the trip to California in order
to secure special heavy casing and
fittings for the same as well as to
have specially constructed rubber
packers made.
About $500 Or 5000 feet of casing
was ordered which will weight in the
neighborhood of II tons. Special con-
troll valves are also included In the
shipment as well as the rubber pack
ers. The entire shipment will be in
Alfalfa some time this week, and the
officers of the company hope that
work may be resumed at the well
next week if weather conditions per-
NIT. Operations at the well have been
held up the past month awaiting the
new casing.
"Mr. Kupers was in Alfalfa Sum
|Ody, SdlQ VuI. NOSCi, anu SIdOCu
that oil men in California were quite
excited when he told them of condi-
tions at the local well. They declared
that if there was sufficient gas pres
sure here to force gas thru such great
depths of water, so that it could be
lighted at the surface, that there
must be field here. It was their
opinion that if the mole at the Alfalfa
well had been 8 inches in diameter
all the way down that the well would
have blown in before this
Mr.. Kupers witnessed the havoc
wrought by a gas well which ''blew
in" while he was in California. He
said that the tools were blown out
of the hole and the ''bit'' found a
mile from the well. The entire string
of casing was literally corkscrewed
out of the hole. This particular well
was turning out 35 million cubic feet
of gas day.-Attalia Tribune.

But the fight is not ended. Support
ers Of Mr.. Hartley, as well as the
governor, are preparing to go to the
supreme court. They hold that the
procedure was unconstitutional. in
dicating that the expenditure. of the
money by the university, college and
normal schools, would be enjoined.
1t was a stubborn fight. The Hart

Mr.. Danskin, fought to the last ditch
but the break came thru an act of
