TOWN PLANS
BLOWOUT TO
MARK DRILLING
Kennewick to Celebrate With
other Towns When Gas Rig
Spuds In; Movie Cameras
and Newspapermen Here

Two drilling rigs are being un-
loaded this week for use in the
Kennewick gas fields. s. M. Fos-
ter has transported the bulk Of
the huge rig brought up from Sig
nal Hill fields in California and
the walla Walla contractor is un-
loading a rig at the Grosscup sid
ing.
Kennewick and the surrounding
towns will celebrate the spudding
in of the big well the West Coast
company will drill by holding open
house at the field. Plans are being
made for having the mayors Of
Kennewick, Pasco and Walla Wal
la present to take part in the cere-
monies of starting the rig. Movie
cameras and newspaper men win
record the events and It is pre-
dicted that some five thousand cars
will be present at the fields on this
occasion.
While no exact date can be set
for this celebration at the present
time, Foster thinks he can have
the derrick up and the machinery
set ready to operate in about three
weeks. He already has his crew
assembled, including two derrick
riggers, who worked for him in
Oklahoma and two drillers, who
were on his crew in California.
With this experienced crew, he ex-
poets to find no difficulty either
in the erection of the machinery
or in the actual drilling.
That tie field is attracting OUT
side interests is evidenced by the
fact that within the past week
experienced oil and gas men have
been noted here from points 80
far away as Chicago. Drillera,
tool dressers and derrick men have
arrived, as well as statesmen from
pipe and weIl-drilling houses. In
fact, one oil well supply house is
planning to open branch in Ken
newick within the near future.
At meeting Of the special come
mittee from the commercial club
last night plans were made for
handling the celebration at the
field for road signs and for various
other forms Of advertising, de-
signed to attract the attention Of
the outside world to the possibili-
ties of our location and situation
for utilizing this cheap and effic-
lent fuel.
That this section Of the state is
due for the mast rapid and won
derful industrial development the
Northwest has ever seen is freely
predicted by those men who have
experienced the Transformation
which takes place in the sections
of the country where natural gas
has been developed. Foster point
ed out to the committee last night
that the Kennewick field is one Of
but three fields where the COM
bination Of advantages are obtain
able. These include the gas for
fuel, plenty Of good fresh water,
transportation and climate. These,
he finds, are all available in this
section of the state and he pre-
diets a most astounding develop
ment.
A curious crowd has been gath
ering daily around the cars to see
the drill that is expected to put
down a hole that will bring forth
as much gas as the total capacity
Of all seven wells now down, which
is about 2,50O,0OO cubic feet every
"a hours. Foster states that IL or
Is rigs will be drilling here by
next spring. California men are in
touch with the work here and are
following closely every step in the
development.

AN EXPENSIVE LESSON

The recent market break, "
characterized as the most severe
since the panic Of > 1914, has
taught thousands an expensive
lesson. -. - = - +.~+.-.
The prevalent practice of buy:
ing stocks on lean margins, by
persons without reserves to
weather reverses. is basically
unsound. Leading financial au.
tborities and: major stock ex'
changes and their members have
continually warned and. ruled
against this practice Even mar:
gins normally considered safe
did not stand in the late crisis.
The fact that short-sighted
spectators have been wiped out
in the general decline, is DO
argument against the institution
of modern corporate finance.
Our progress is made as more of
the public income finds its way
into business. Investors who
own interests in standard, estab
lished industries, bought through
recognized brokerage channels
on values rather than tips, have
nothing to fear.

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
CONTINUES

The greatest field for future
progress in highway building
lies in the Improvement and con.
struction of market and second.
ary roads.
At present there is q decided
trend toward expansion of low
cost road construction ia rural
districts as q farm relief" meas.
ure. Good roads have become
necessary to the farmer in his
commercial and social life. The
cow-trails and mud holes that
once characterized rural roads
are disappearing, and servicea-
BILE, but inexpensive, paved high.
ways are taking their place.
There is no end to the good
roads movement. Thousands OF
miles of pavement have been.
constructed in the last few years,
and the demand steadily in.
creases. It is now generally
realized that a highway is not an
expense, but an investments
which pays for itself many tiu1es

a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

The plea of P. G. Spilsbury.
president of the Arizona Indus
trial Congress, that adequate
steps should be taken to care for
the 900 crippled children in Ari.
zona only hints at this states
lack of care for needy children,
whether crippled, orphaned or
otherwise.
There is no state fund pro
vided for crippled children.
There is no state home for
boys or girls except the reform
schools, and fortunately the
greater portion of needy child
rem are not in need of reform
schools. The only schools in
Arizona that take care of or.
phans, that can be called public
institutions are the Arizona
Children's Home and St. Joseph's
Orphanage which are supported
privately by donations.
There IL no state home for
children who have passed the
age when they may stay at these
institutions. A boy or girl of IA
or Is after leaving these homes
in Tucson has no place to go
unless he or she be sent to the
reform school, and that would.
be an injustice to them, worse
than turning them out into the
street. IN. .....s .,ils, I'd
t Arizona has spent millions for
the education of it's children, but
these millions are no good to
those children who have no
homes, no means of support, no
opportunity to just live. sr
The reform schools are moth.
ing the state may be proud Of;
in fact, it is questionable if they
even live up to their name.
The people OF Arizona have
tried through the. Arizona Child.
ren's Home and st. Joseph's
Orphanage to create bones for.
orphans, but limited funds have
prevented an extension of the
work to include care of all the
children that come to their. at
tention. 4 - ~ 4sa@=,:
As the state. has been negli
gent in its care of ~prisoners, so
it has been negligent in it's more
important duty-that of. caring
for it's children. ~
The present administration
could establish an enviabie re
cord if it would make q survey
OF the situation and then estab.
lish such schools and homes as
are necessary !. to care for or
phans. :, .s -
Arizona's most valuable asset
is its children; as long as it con
tinues to- neglect them, just SO
long will the state be-. wasting
future manhood and womanhood
and committing a'crime against
humanity.-Tucson Star.

Kennedy was quick in his decision.
The camps are located near Las
