GAS TO BRING
BIG INDUSTRY,
SAYS ATKINS
California Man Tells News
paper Representatives OF
Kennewick's Probable De-
velopment; Bright Future

That Kennewick is to be the cen
ter of vast industrial develop
ment by reason Of the commercial
ization of the natural gas in this
area was the prediction made last
night to a group of newspaper
men and others interested by e.
Edgar Atkins, head of a syndicate
of California men who have been
interested in the Kennewick gas
fields.
Promising one hundred and fif-
ty wells within the next two years
and the mediate drilling of five
or six wells, Atkins pictured in
dustries of all sorts coming to this
section. With the industries will
come a big increase in population
and its attendant activities of
every sort.
Stressing the Importance Of the
geographical location, its trans
portation facilities, its nearness to
raw materials, unlimited supply
of good water, its equable climatic
conditions, coupled with cheap, ef-
ficient fuel for power and heat, At
kins drew a picture which found
favor with those men who dream
of the development possibilities Of
the state. In the East, Atkins said,
the factories with a nationwide
distribution of their products are
looking for favorable sites for
western branches. Many Of these
firms have branches now in Los
Angeles. With the lack Of an adj
equate water supply and owing to
the debilitating effects of the ops
presive heat Of Southern Cali
fornia, these establishments are
! still seeking the very advantages
which this section has to offer.
Lack of a cheap and efficient
source Of heat and power were the
factors which heretofore have held
this section back from obtaining
these industrial advantages, Atkins
said. These, his syndicate was pre-
pairing to make available. He be-
spoke the newspaper mems coop
Grafton in disseminating to the
world at large the facts that this
combination Of industries Of many
sorts was here available.
1 s. M. Foster also spoke about
the Kennewick gas fields and what
their development would mean TO
the state and Northwest. He re-
lated incidents of the growth Of
other sections where gas had been
eommercialzed and pointed. out,
also, the added features which the
Kennewick section can supply.
Rufus Woods, publisher Of the
Wenatchee Daily World, and Mr..
Keith, representative from the
Spokesman-Re also spoke
briefly at the gathering. M. II.
Moulton acted as toastmaster for
the occasion.
