Under q six-column banner head.
the current issue OF the Northwest
Oil 81 Gas News carries the follow
ing story, under Benton City
date line:
The Rattlesnake Hills field in
south central Washington, first
commercial natural gas field in the
state, bids fair to become the first
commercial oil field also, with news
that heavy showing OF high gray

producing gas field. Drillers are
tensely watching the drilling tools
in anticipation that each return OF
the bailer from below the two thous-
and foot depth will mark the end
Of the basalt, which covers the
source pool Of oil and gas believed
lying In sedimentary formations be-
low.
This is the third showing OF oil
picked up in the past hundred feet
of hole and the increased volume
and the liveness of the crude indi-
Gates its nearness to the source, ex-

president Of the company, the prev

of what may be expected with fur
ther drilling, are not comparable
with the present showings either in
amount Of oil or in quality.
Culver Studies Strata
The oil was encountered in the
stratum Of porous basalt penetrated
at from 2,185 to 2,l90 feet. Samples
Of the formation are being studied
by State Supervisor of Geology, II.
z. Culver, who has been following
the operation with great interest.
No attempt will be made at this
time to test the sand for It's volume
but hole-making will continue TO

basalt, company officials state.
Commercial Gas
In addition to the oil encountered,
to date, several strata producing
natural gas have been picked up in
this well. Two gas zones have shown
commercial production, one at APP
proximately 300 feet and one APP
at 1850 feet.
Officials Of the company are Of
the opinion that both the gas and
oil encountered to date are seepages

CHEST DRIVE
TO START SOON
Committee Lays Plans for
Annual Solicitation for the
Local Fund

A meeting of the Community
Chest committee was held Wednes-
day night and preparations were
made for the annual drive fol
funds. The total amount collected
from the last years drive was $685.
Is and the expenditures $685.58. One
of the beneficiaries to date has not
drawn for the full amount collect
ed, but this is expected to be done in
the near future. The expenses Of
operating the Chest such as post
age. stationery, etc. for the year
amounted to $2931. The goal for
this year has been set at $500 which
will enable us to carry on the
work which has been laid out tent
atively for the next IL months. Ell
forts are being made to have the
drive early In November this year.
In the past the solicitors have
been asked Just how much Of q do
nation should be given by various
persons and organizations and the
solicitors were unable to give an in
telligent reply for various reasons.
This year q different scheme Is to
be tried out. A letter will be sent to
all employers as has been done in
the past, but this year the letter will
show what he and his organization
donated hast year and request will
be made to increase the donation In
proportion to the amount we hope
to collect this year. The details Of
the method Of collecting from
employers and their organization
have not been completed but the
committee expects to proceed rapid
ly with the work and have all in
formation available at least two
weeks before the drive takes place.
This should give everyone an oppor-
tunity to make his plans according

SAVE PRODUCTS
BY FREEZING
Farm Bulletin Tells How to
Preserve Stuff by the New
Method

Copies Of a new extension bulle-
tin, Preservation of Farm Products
by Freezing" No. $50, has been
received at the local County Extern
sion office, according to Opal I.
Jenkin, home demonstration agent.
Directions for preparing fruits, veg
etables and meats are given by Miss
Rae Russell, extension nutritionist
and Con s. Maddox, extension ami
NAL husbandnan, co-authors OF this
bulletin.
According to latest information
from research laboratories, all veg
etables intended for frozen pack
should be scalded before packing.
This scalding ~ arrests the ac-
lions Of ferments which result in
quality deterioration, (2) sets the
characteristic color and (3) makes
packing more easily done tor some
products. Generally fruits are not
treated with steam heat except
where peeling is done.
Frozen pack fruits and vegetables
are not sterile and must be used
Like fresh produce-that is, within
4s hours after thawing. The mater
ial is at its best when used at once.
The method is given for preparing
the following fruits and vegetables:
asparagus, beans, broccoli, cauli-
Hover, corn, peas, spinach, apricots,
blackberries, blueberries, pie cher
ries, sweet cherries, cranberries, dew
berries, grapes, logan berries, prunes,
peaches, raspberries and straw
berries.
Copies Of this bulletin may be OBJ
tanned by calling or writing to the
county extension office at Kenne-
wick.

LIGHTS FOR BIKES

Bicycles on the streets after
dark must be equipped with
lights, according to q state law.
The law has not been enforced
locally in the past, but accidents
and near accidents are bec0m-
ing SO numerous recently that
Mayor Alfred Anon has ordered
the police to enforce the state
law in this respect. It's . pre-
ventative measure which should
receive cooperation from every
one. Don't ride the streets after

BILL PASSERS
GET CAUGHT
B0ngus Money Detected by
Local Merchant; Police
Capture Two Men Who
Give Same Names

Two men giving the same name
were captured here the first of the
week on a charge of manufacturing,
passing and attempting to defraud
with counterfeit money. The men
captured together-each gave the
name of John White, when the Of
ficers booked them. They were given
a preliminary hearing before II. @.
Fyfe, u. s. Commissioner and were
bound over to the federal court for
trial.
The men passed, or attempted to
pass two bogus ten dollar bills and
a five. It was the latter transac-
ton which resulted in their appre-
hension. They stopped at Nick's
Fruit Stand to buy some grapes aft
er q preliminary survey Of the
premises. The peculiar appearance
of the bill caused an investigation,
a call for the police and the mems
capture on the bridge by local po-
lice.
The Bogus money was crudely
prepared and both the tens and the
five Immediately caused suspicion.
One of the men carried the money
while the other carried q key and q
express receipt for a suitcase in
which other material were located.
w. w. Schlax, secret service OPP
erative, took the men in charge,
having been on their trail for some
time past. Until their arrival in
Kennewick he had been just too
late to capture the suspects. Ac-
cording to the government men,
both suspects have previous GRIMM
al records and he is sure that q con-
viction will be obtained on the pres
ent charges. The men were taken to
the jail at Yakima to await trial,
bail having been set at $500 each,
which they were unable to furnish.

DISCUSS FARM
SOIL PROBLEM
ATHIGHLANDS
Meeting Called Monday Night
to Get Farmer Ideas on
Next Years Agricultural
Program

To get farmers ideas and rec
concentrations on the 1887 federal
agricultural conservation program,
district meeting of the farmers in
the Richland, Highlands, Kenne-
wick, Hover and Finley communi-
ties has been called by County
Agent Skuse and the county agri-
cultural conservation committee for
Monday, October S at 8 pm. at the
Highlands Clubhouse.
Those In charge of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
desire to develop the 1897 program
early; so farmers can have plenty
Of opportunity to consider its
adaptability to their net years farm
operations.
Indications are that the 1897
program will be adapted to all land
uses and farm situations, no mat
ter what the type Of production.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
has announced there must be q
sound conservation program for ir-
rigated areas, for range lands, for
fruit, vegetable and other highly
specialized crop regions and for
lands used for double cropping"
The 1887 program, therefore, will
undoubtedly Interest many more
farmers in the State Of Washing
ton especially In the so-called
speciality" industries. The 1896
program had to be developed in
such q hurry, that many Of the
provisions were not adaptable to
some of the farm situations In this
state.
At the county meeting farmers
will be encouraged to discuss con-
servation thoroughly and freely e.
press their views on what they want
for 1897. Their ideas will be In
corporated in q state report. This
will be submitted and studied at q
regional meeting of northwest
states in Pocatello, Idaho, October
IA, at which time recommendations
for the 1887 program will be sub
mitted to AAA officials for the
western states.

RIVER TRAFFIC
REVIVALSEEN
IN NEW GRANT
Barge Line Receives Permis-

bia; Considered Most Inn
pOrtant Development

Portland proponents Of revival Of
transportation were jubilant Tues
day following an announcement
from Washington, D. G. that the In
terstate commerce commission had
granted the Inland Navigation COM
pany the right to operate on the
Columbia and Willamette rivers as
a common carrier, says report in
a Portland newspaper.
The commission granted the COM
pany, which is composed Of Portland
and Seattle business executives, q
certificate of public convenience
and necessity to operate between
Portland and mid Columbia points.
r. H. Kipp, executive secretary Of
the Columbia Valley association, de-
clared that granting the permit to
the company 'is one of the most
important developments in the
progress of the Columbia valley in
a long time"
Boat Building
First boat to be put into service
on the river is half completed in a
Seattle shipyard. Construction Of
the company's big petroleum tank
farm at The Dalles has been start
ed. The company is financed with
its own capital and has sought no
outside promotion assistance.
The vessel now under construc-
ton will be 100 feet long, 80 feet Of
beam, seven feet in draft and will
be powered with two 700-horsepow-
er diesel engines. It will have gem
eral cargo capacity for 600 tons Of
freight and tank capacity for $780,
600 gallons Of petroleum products.
It will be powerful enough to handle
six 300-ton barges, it is said.
Steel was rushed to the coast in
advance Of the threatened water
front tieup and the entire amount
needed to complete the boat is on
hand. It also is reported that all
steel needed for the tanks in The
Dalles tank farm is on hand. The
company acquired 10 acres Of ground
near The Dalles port terminal for
it's tank farm and ship facilities
there.
Primary hackers Of the company
are r. s. Whaley and II. A. Dent,
Seattle capitalists, who, according
to Kipp, saw the possibilities in re-
vival of transportation on the Col
umbia river.

EDUCATE KIDS
TO REDUCE
FIRE LOSSES
Excellent Speaker Coming to
School Net Friday; Pub
lie Invited to Attend; Pre-
cautions Urged

Eddie Furman, considered the
worlds best and most interesting
speaker on fire prevention will adj
dress the high school assembly Fri
day, October 8, at 10 am.
Insurance men, firemen, fire
chiefs and citizens generally, are in
vited, according to F. ]. Arnold.
member of the school board, to hear
Mr.. Furman on this vital subject,
which he presents in most novel
manner.
Fire losses In this country are
staggering, Mr.. Arnold points out
and every effort made to reduce the
losses is well worth the effort. In
spite Of the decreasing totals In fire
losses in the past two or three
years, the average fire loss since
1926 has been in excess of $410, 900,
600. Add to this amount the stand
ing timber destroyed, the upkeep of
fire departments and the upkeep Of
that portion Of the water works
WAACAA OAAC AAC OSRS& t4uCut ACCOo
and we are safe In assuming that
the total cost to the nation would
be in excess Of billion dollars an
nually. Accustomed to handling
large figures nowadays, q billion
dollars. nevertheless, is q very con-
siderable sum Of money. It Is amax-
ing to note what could be done with
that sum II one stops to figure out
some unusual uses for it.
For instance, Mr.. Arnold points
out, there are about TBS, 900 school
teachers employed In the public
schools Of the United States at an
average salary Of $1,166 per year.
With our billion dollars fire waste
we could double the salary Of every
teacher and have left on hand $751;
$4,000. which, II distributed to the
teachers. would provide vacation
fund for each Of $21331.
