land Barbee, agriculture and shop
work; M. G. Clark, science; Bea-
trice Cogswell, home economics,
Gladys Gooch, commercial; Evelyn
Hutton, mathematics and Winona
Rushton, English. Linden will
coach the athletic teams.
Eight busses will be used to
transport students from the out
lying districts this year. All of
the trucks, except one, are enclos-
ed. The Highlands have been re-
routed and divided into one long
route and two short ones.
Part of the main commercial
room at the high school was par
titioned off for tipping classes.
This will enable the students to
keep a battery of 16 typewriters
going all day long without inter-
fering with the stenographic work
in the other portion of the room,
Hodge said. He recommends at
least one semester of tipping to all
Junior and senior students, whether
they are going into commercial
lines or not. The typewriter is an
almost necessary adjunct to any
line of endeavor today, and is par
ticularly useful to the college stu
dent, he concluded.

BOARD RAISES
LOCAL RATING
OF INSURANCE
Kennewick Moved Up From
Class z to g.; Means Paying
10 Percent Less on Pre-
miums; Restrictions Urged

Thru the efforts of H. G. Fyfe,
Kennewick property owners may
save approximately ten per cent
on their insurance premiums after
September 2. The rating of the
city of Kennewick has been boost
ed from class eight to class sew
en-, which carries with it the re-
duction of premiums.
Taking the matter up with the
insurance board, Fyfe presented
data sufficient to warrant the re-
duction in rates. According to the
department., the factors which en-
Ter into rates for insurance In the
various towns rank comparatively
high in Kennewick. The report
shows that, generally, construction
rates good. The fire department,
too, has go,d rating. The biggest
reduction the town has to accept
is n the matt the size of tic
water mains.
However, Fyfe states thar the
&c. ID recon- ue I'D that the build
ing restricti'..., in the city be still
slr. fher streng :hened and that no
exceptions be allowed in any de-
tai in the .ture, if the presen:

PIPELINE BEGUN
FROM GAS FIELD
Gas to Be Distributed From Com.
pressor Station at Grandview;
Six Wells Now In

Pipeline construction from the
Benton county gas fields to Sunny
side, Grandview, Prosser and Nab
ton was begun Saturday, according
to R. B. Newbern, president of the
Northwestern Natural Gas COM
pany. The foundations for the COM
pressor station at Grandview have
been laid and about ten carloads of
pipe unloaded at Kiona and Ben
ton City. Workmen are stringing
the pipe and clearing the sage
brush from the right of way. Oct
ober 15 is set as the probable date
of the pipeline.
The Rattlesnake hill district has
6 producing wells, 5 of which will
be connected to the line. They are
producing 5000, 900 open flow cubic
feet of gas daily. The Northwest
ern company is planning to drill
two additional wells within 80
days. When the pipeline is complet-
ed this fall, there will be 25 miles
of main line from the wells to the
compressor station, and 80 miles
of gathering and lateral lines to
the different towns served.
Mr.. Newben stated that the gas,
which seems to have been found IN
limitedless quantities on the Ben
ton field, is odorless and is 90 per-
cent methane, with twice the heat
ing value per cubic foot as ordin-
airy manufactured gas

EXPECT MUCH
OF LOCAL GAS
DEVELO OPMENT
Kennewick Fields to Have 8
Compressors; More Pipe is
Shipped to Be Laid a Mile
Per Day


Instead of one compressor for
the gas line from the Kennewick
fields; three are being installed,
according to Edwin Hurst, field
superintendent for the Northwest
ern Natural Gas company. The
ditching machine has arrived on
the ground and is digging trenches
for the pipes to the compressors.
Five more carload Of pipe have
arrived and the work Of laying it
will he begun as soon as the net
work of pipes from the various
wells to the compressors is COM
pleted. The contractor who has
this work in charge, states that
the six inch pipe can be laid at a
rate of better than mile day.
The machinery digs a trench
about three feet deep in which the
pipe will be laid.
Hurst says gas will be avail
able for local consumption in Pros
ser by October 15, and In the other
upper valley towns shortly there
after. No definite date has been
set for the work towards Kenne-
wick and Pasco, though it is ex-
pected that it will follow shortly
after the completion of the uppeF
valley work.
The company is completing final
arrangements now for the drilling
Of several new wells in their field.
Sam Foster is authority for the
statement that other drilling will
be announced within the next week
or so and that activity in this line
may be expected of such nature
that boom will follow in this Sec
tion.
Foster is experiencing no little
amusement over the reports cur
rent locally that pipe line from
such distance would not be feas-
ible. He quotes excerpts from an
article from the current issue Of
The Oil and Gas Journal as fol-
lows: "The Southwestern Gas COM
pany has ordered about $4,000 ton
of pipe line for gathering lines in
connection with the 95O-mile
twenty inch gas line to be laid
from the Texas Panhandle to Chi
cago.n
He states that with the addition
al gas production confidently ex-
pected from the Kennewick fields
that lines to the coast cities are a
certainty.
That the development of the
Kennewick field is attracting the
attention of oil and gas men all
over the country is evidenced by
the fact that scouts from the var
ious companies have been fre-
quent visitors at the field within
the past lew weeks. A representa-
tive OF one of the larger companies
went up to tn fild yesterday. Be-
fore leaving town he stated that
ne didn't expect the trip would be
worth while. Upon his return he
secured maps and all other data he
could get hold of and said that he
was greatly surprised at the de-
veiopment and that he would like
ly be called upon to return for
further investigation.

Local Conoco Plant Puts in New
Gasoline Storage Tanks

q
improvements totalling $1,000
have been put in at the local plant
OF the Continental Oil company
during the past week, under the
supervision of Paul Skinner of

BABY BASS SAVED
Local Waltonians Sein Rive
Mouth; Fish in Rearing Pools

At least six thousand baby bass
were saved for fishermen to catch
when they have secured their
growth by group of local Wal
tonians last Sunday when they
seined the pools around the mouth
of the Yakima river. Next Sunday
more of them will don their waders
and old clothes and put still more
thousands of fingerlings into the
rearing pools.
j. P. Martin, the leading spirit
in this activity, states that there
are thousands upon thousands OF
bass and perch fry which are lost
each year by becoming stranded in
the pools which dry up in the fall.
These pools are being seined and
the small fish taken to the perma-
nent rearing pools, later to be lib
Grated into the streams.
r. l.. Duston, state superintend-
ent Of construction for the game
fish department, was in Kennewick
Monday conferring with Martin
on the plan Of creating a natural
hatchery here, following the rec
omendations of the KennewicA
chapter Izaak Walton League. This
plan was to build permanent pools
at the mouth Of the Yakima river
and supply them with perch AMI
bass fry from the local waters
each spring, this being an idea
combination of water and climatic
conditions for the purpose.
Duston was highly pleased with
the situation, but stated that tht
plan is too ambitious for the STATE
to undertake at this time. He sale
his department would consider ant
likely construct one unit Of th'
plan this year and that undoubted
| " federel aid could be secured fol
the completion Of the project.
