ANNUAL COUNT SHOWS
HEAVY RURAL mail

One of the final official acts OF
Rural Carrier ]. M. Pipkin before
his departure for Tennessee, was the
completion of the count of mail
handled on the route at White Bluffs
during the IL day period OF March
81 to April IL, both dates inclusive.
This count is required each year by
the postoffice department on all
rural routes in the United States.
Ordinarily it is made in May but
this year it was stepped up to April.
Mr.. Pipkin's report showed that
during those IL days he delivered the
following number of pieces of mail.
divided into classes:
LIST class, 1884; End class, 2549; 3rd
class, 1904; 4th class 200; registered,
insured, c. o. D., Special Delivery,
foreign origin and penalty, 26l.
Total pieces of all classes delivered,
65O2.
The report showed the collection
of the following: LIST class 3e1; End
class, IL; 3rd class, 10; 4th class
FL; registered, insured, c. o. D.,
Special Delivery, foreign destina-
ton and penalty, g; or total of all
classes collected of 443.
Adding the number of pieces de-
livered, $500, to the number of pieces
collected, 443, gives grand total Of
6e45, or an average of approximately
$50 pieces handled each day. This
is said to be considerably in ex-
cess of the average fer routes of
this length.
That the rural patrons here keep
abreast of the times is indicated by
the comparatively large amount of
second class mail newspapers and
magazines) delivered on the route.
The 254o pieces is an average of
over 200 day for the IL days, made
up mostly, of course, of daily papers,
there being hardly patron on the
route that does not take at least one
daily. Mr.. Pipkin said that although
the route at WOODBURY., Kentucky,
that he left last fall, was the same
length as the one here but served
larger number of patrons, yet he was
delivering on the route here five
times as many dailies as at Wood
burn.
The route at White Bluffs is 2565
miles long and serves al families
through IFS boxes.

osENBAucH FAMILY ARRIVES

Mr.. and Mrs. James M. Pipkin
and son Joe drove up to Beverly
Tuesday morning where they boarded
a main line Milwaukee train that will
carry them as far as Chicago on their
way to Athens, Tennessee, where
Mr.. Pipkin will take over one of the
rural routes in exchange with c. G.
Osenbaugh. They planned to go on
from Chicago to theft old home at
WOODBURY., Kentucky, for a short
visit with friends, Mrs. Pipkin and
Joe making the journey by train
while Mr.. Pipkin will stop off at
Toledo, Ohio, to get his new car at
the factory, and drive on in it from
there to WOODBURY.. During their
short stay here Mr.. and Mrs. Pip
kin made many friends here who
regretted to see them leave. The
patrons on the route, in particular,
have registered general satisfaction
with the service during the five
months that Mr. Pipkin has been in
charge.
The new rural carrier, C. G. Osen-
baugh, arrived in White Bluffs with
his family Wednesday evening and
has rented the cottage recently va
Gated by the ]. C. Smoots family. Of
the three children in the family, two
are Of school age. Although born in
Oklahoma, Mr.. Osenbaugh is not
wholly unacquainted with the West,
having made three previous visits to
California and Washington. He is
World War veteran.
Vile the Osenbaughs are getting
settled in their new home, the route
is being served by substitute carrier,
J. E. Leander.

DAILY OUTPUT OF GAS NOW
100000 CUBIC FEET

There are now six outfits in the
Benton county natural gas field tina,
are producing daily 100000 cubic
feet of gas, according to officials Of
the Northwestern Natural Gas com
pany as quoted in the Kennewick
Courier Reporter.
This industry, comparatively new
in the realm of Washington develop
ments, is responsible for seven pro-
ducing wells and three in the stage
of drilling. The gas is flowing at a
pressure of from one to four and q
half pounds per cubic inch. Besides
the Northwestern company, there are
five other outfits drilling. They are
the Walla Walla Oil and Gas COM
pany, the Yellowhawk Oil and Gas
company, The Northwestern Oil and
Gas company and the West Coast
Oil and Gas company. The Yakima
Valley Natural Gas company has
taken over the drilling for the North
western Gas company.
The company is serving 200 Gus
toner in Grandview, Prosser, Nab
ton and Sunnyside, and has fran
chises in Kennewick, Pasco, Zillah
and Toppenish. R. B. Newbern, presi-
dent, declares that $500,0oO will be
spent in the field this year, in adj
dition to the 100000 already put in
The gas is carried in Al miles of g.
inch pressure pipe, and 40 more
miles of four, 8 and 2-inch distribu-
ton lines in the cities served A line
to Yakima and Wapato is contem-
plated.
A continuation of the Benton field
strata is producing gas at Union Gap,
80 miles northwest, where the Mo
Gene Petroleum company struck a
flow at 800 feet, increased at 900 feet.

CENSUS RETURNS MAY
CHANGE CLASS OF COUNTY
Prosser Record Bulletin


Interest in Benton county in the
coming census returns is increased
by the fact that it may change the
classification of this county said
Harry Forsyeh who is candidate
for county treasurer this week
Benton county is in Class &C In
such counties the population is be-
tween 10 600 and 1000 and the office
of clerk and auditor assessor and
treasurer and prosecutor and coroner
are combined. If the census shows
Benton county to have more than
1900 or less than 10000 the county
will automatically alter its ciassihca-
ton and the county offices will be
split up again
The state legislature has provided
that all counties having a population
of 5000 to $4,000 are in class except
those having from 10 600 to II 900
Benton is the only county in this
class. Class five includes those hav-
ing a population of $4,000 to $4,000.
In such counties the offices are sep
crate and the salaries run around
$500 year. If our population goes
petWeeil ll,ooU anu lZ,uoV VI any
where between 5000 and 10000 we
go into class six, the salaries of
which are $500 except for the
sheriff, who gets $1,000. In class &C
the present classification of Benton
county, the salaries are $1,000 for
treasurer, $1,000 for clerk and the
others are $1,000.
Another point of interest is the fact
that the present court house was con-
structed apparently with the thought
that the county would remain in the
10,000-11 900 class. In case Benton
county changes classification consid-
cradle remodeling would be necessary
to accommodate the county offices as
they would then be split up.

HELP The ENuMERAToR

F. A. English, local census enumer-
ator, says he is getting along very well
with the work and expects to be about
half through by the end of the week.
However, the time for completing the
job is getting short and Mr.. English
figures he will be lucky if he finishes
on time. He says the work could be
greatly expedited if every farmer
would fill out the farm schedule, mail
ed him some time ago, and have it
ready when the enumerator calls.

 Exception--Nos open. season for mink in the area consisting of those portions in the drainages to Boring Sea and Norton Sound, bounded on the north by the south hank of the Inelutalik river to it's source and thence over the divide to the most northerly fork of the Kateel rlver and following down 'ts south ,a,s to it's confluence with the Koyukuk river, bounded on the east by the west bank .oi the Koyukuk river to it's contIu- ence with the Yukon river; thence following down the west and north bank of the Yukon river to it's mouth.
 This restricts the closed area to that section lying between the Yukon river and Norton Sound south of the Inglutalik and Kateel rivers.
 In the making of regulations cov- ering the taking of fur in any par ticular district, the Commission is guided largely by the information it derives from reports required to be made under the Alaska Game Law by both trappers and traders. Conse- quently those engaged in those .in- dustries have it within their power to make possible the fullest utiliza- tion of the fur resources compatible With their preservation. The Com mission in establishing seasons, both open and close, is guided by the available supply of fur-bearars in the several districts and arrives at it's estimates of uch upply very largely from the report it receives not only from its own representatives, but from those who take and de in fur
 The modification of th2 closed mink area in Fur District No. 3 fur nishes an excellent illustration of the value of these reports. In ,his in- stance the Commission was forced to depend almest entirely upon chem as verbal reports from people residing in the affected areas were so conflict ing as to make it almost impossible to determine the real conditions. To instances, both trappers and fur avoid future occurrences of similar dealers can render invaluable assist ance in the formulation of regula- tions if they will be prompt in mak- ing up and. transmitting their reports at the close of the. license year, as required by law.

RULES FOR BEAVER TRAP
 PING ARE OUTLINED BY THE
 ALASKA GAME COMMISSION

The following announcement. re- ceutly released by the Alaska Game Commission, tells of the. amendment toa the Alaska game law which will permit limited trapping of beaver dur ing the present winter
The Kusko times., 1930-10-04

An open beaver season for next winter has been created by the. Sec retarX of Agriculture upon the rec ommendation of the Alaska Game Commission, applying to all of the Territory, except Southeastern Alas ka the Kodiak -Afognak islands group, the drainage to the Chandalar river. the eastern side of the .Kenai Peninsula and the region between the Yukon >riNer and the Alaska range from sTanana to the international boundary. in which the close season remains as heretofore. The order es- tablishing shis season will not be- come. efft ctive until November 28. 1930,, in order to comply with the 90- day publication requirement..
 TensBeayer Permitted.
 At its ast annual meeting in No vember, 1929. the Commission decid- cidef to continue in effect then exist ig regulations prohibiting the taking of beaver in any part of the Terri tory. Thisfchange in policy has been oceasioned bN 8 serious economic con- dition found to exist in many trap ping communities. This situation is result of radical decline decline. in prices received for furs taken by Alaskan. trappers the last year, and consequent restriction of credits by traders to those dependent uponathe fur industry for q livelihood. The Commission is fully aware hat few beaver areas have completely recov- cred from the exceptionally large catches of the open seasons during the. years 1927 and... 1928, when ap- proximately 53,000 skins were taken each year, making it necessary for a bafe-hmit of 10 beaver for each trap per. for. this year. Except in those sections. .a specifically described as being chased, beaver may be taken in accord with the following regula- tiof1s:
 Text of Regulations.
 Except in areas enumerated and defined as ciosed- to trapping under Regulation IA of. said regulations, person may take not to exceed 10 beavers in the aggregate in the speci- fled districts during the open season provided therefor, and only in the manner hereinafter provided.
 Fur District 1-Beaver: On Alaska Peninsula ony, January 1 to March 3l.

 Fur District 3-Beaver: Al of Fur District 8, January to March 31.
 Beavers may be taken only by the use of steel traps set more than 25 feet fromany beaver house or den. No beaver may be taken by or with the aid of a rife, shotgun or other frearm No home, house or den of a beaver shall be injured or destroyed. Skins of beavers shall be presented for sealing by the person taking such skins and be sealed with a seal pre- scribed by the Commission within 90 days after the close of the open sea- son during which the skins were le- gally taken. Persons desiring to have such skins sealed shall preent them to a member of the Commission, to 8, game, warden, pr to. any other person. authorized. by the Commission to seal skins, together with an affi- davit of awful taking completed on a for madppted and furnished by the Commissionf Skins of beaver, un- less sealed as prescribed by this reg ulation, may not be possessed or transported by any person after the expiration of, such period.
 A person having egally taken the skins of beavers during the open sea- sons provided in this regulation may not sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of such skins until they have been sealed as hereinbefore provided.
 Skins of beavers shipped or trans ported out of the Territory in any manner shall be reported to the Alas ka Game Commission, Juneau, Alas ka, as. required by Regulation of of said regulations, and any packages containing such skins shal be marked as required by Regulation. of said regulations.
 In commenting on the economic condition which resulted in the mak- ing of this recommendation and it's approval. the commissioners are con- vinced that an over extension of credits to trappers, by traders, is the largest factor in bringing it about. 1t is pointed out that short fur catches have occurred in the past, and will undoubtedly occur again, and in view of all the conditions leading up to the present situation too much de- pendence cannot be placed on the opening of the beaver, nor of any other closed season, to relieve similar conditions that may arise in the fu- ture. In providing for open seasons the Commission Is guided by the available suppy of fur-bearers in the various districts, and, because of this, those engaged in trapping can large ly regulate seasons by the use of proper trapping practices. By SO trapping that sufficient breeding stock is left to restock the area, the closed period need be only for short time. It is reiterated by the Commission that the opening of thte beaver sea- son for the coming winter to meet the present situation, must not be taken to indicate that it will be opened again next year even though the economic conditions have not inn proved
 Closed Mink Area Modified.
 Having ascertained from trappers and fur dealers reports in the area established by the Commission at the meeting last November, closed to the taking of mink, that the catch during
