Injure Cherries,
Says Desgranges
Crop 1870 Good; Apples and
Pears Unframed; Other
Fruit Men Agree After Ex-
animation of Orchards

Kennewick valley fruit pros
poets came through the sub-zero
spell with flying colors. Fruit men
who have made careful examina-
tions of their orchards are opti-
mistic, having found injuries much
less than expected.
H. w. Desgranges, manager Of
the Big Y, declares that after MAX
ing a thorough check on cherries,
the crop now holding the center
of interest, he can predict 75R
yield, which is good even in normal
years. Peaches, of course, ar killed
and cots badly damaged, but he
found no injuries on either pears
or apples.
Desgranges' report is substan-
tiated by examinations made by
Lee NJ. Lampson, w. S. Green and
other orchardists.
The heavy blanket of snow on
the limbs is credited by some as
being the cause for so few frozen
buds.

Reclamation Men
Will Convene at
Yakima Next Week
Engineering Economic Com
mission to Examine Re-
ports, Investigate and De-
termine Development Plans

Important questions which are
hanging fire in the Yakima valley
reclamation puzzle will be attack
ed at a meeting of the engineering
and economic board of the reclaim
alton service which will convene
in Yakima February 13, according
to letter received here by M. M.
Moulton from Commissioner FL
wood Meade. The amount of land
to be developed in the uncompleted
units, the order in which the work
will be taken up and other vital
matters will be determined.
The board includes r. F. Walter,
chief engineer of the reclamation
service from Denver, George Sew
erance of Washington State Col
lege, w. w. johnson, bureau of re-
clamation engineer, Charles j.
Bartholet, supervisor Of hydraulics
from Olympia and Porter j. Pres
ton, superintendent.
To organize the mass of docu-
mentary material pertaining TO the
case, johnson, accompanied by E.
B. Debler, is coming from Denver
at once. They will make complete
arrangements for the meeting.
In addition to studying the re-
ports, the board will make inves-
LEGATIONS of its own into the Ken
newick, Mckee and Rosa divisions.
Authorization for lift in pumping
units, land suitable to this type of
irrigation, and land not profitably
developed in this way are among
the things to be settled. When a
policy has been determined and all
available information reviewed the
commission will forward report
to DR.. Meade which will serve as a
guide for further developments in
the valley.
The time of the group is limited,
and it is hoped that the sessions
ican be completed in 10 days. Round
table discussion will be the form
generally used. Committees rep
resenting various interests will be
allowed to present their points.
Some of the sessions will probably
be held at Kennewick where res
idents of this project will have an
opportunity to bring up their prob
lens.

To control further spreading of
spinal meningitis, schools have
been closed until February IL on

activities are banned, and children
must stay off the streets. The clos

The Library is closed, but the
librarian will be there on Wednes-

to teach the sixth grade, but the
disease did not develop until Mon

I'VE hope the people under

things up is for their own good,
not to work a hardship on them.

Yakima Brings in
Gas Well at 900
Feet; Large Bore
Drilling at Union Gap Gets
Results; Work on Kenne-
wick Field Will Begin Soon
if Weather Stays Warm

Yakima is excited by the bring
ing in of a new gas well near I'm
ion Gap by the Miocene Petroleum
company at the depth of 900 feet
on Monday. Pressure from the cas-
ing is reported to shoot a flame
20 feet into the air when ignited.
Gas is now flowing through water
800 feet deep. Officials of the COM
pany declare that when bailing is
completed, pressure and produc-
tion will rank with the best wells.
When production was first noted,
the water was 800 feet deep and
the gas was held beneath it. Upon
a decision of Yakima business men
who compose the company, drilling
will be continued to a depth of
5000 feet, at which depth they ex-
pect to penetrate a marine oil de-
post. The well is reputed the larg-
est of its type in the world with an
18-inch hole for the first no feet
and 12-inch hole from there on
down.
Activity in the Kennewick field
has been held up by cold weather,
since drilling could not be done
without running water. A few
more days like the last, however,
will see work started Immediately,
said S. M. Foster. While on the
coast, Foster checked up on inter-
est in the wells here. He reported
that the Atkins company has a
man in California buying four ro-
tary rigs to put on this field, and
that another coast company in
tends drilling on lease within 30
days.
