Plan to Continue
Deep Well Test
at Rattlesnake
Drill at 1860 When Lost
Believed to be Near
Large Pool

It appears that there is a posi-
bility of drilling being resumed for
a deep gas source in the property
of the Conservative Land and In
vestment company, several miles
north of Benton City. according to
Kenneth c. Luke, secretary, Spo-
kane.
The well had been q source Of
gas that was sold in central WASH
ington. It was among several other
wells, about 800 feet deep, that have
been supplying seven or more towns
for domestic purposes and school
houses for heating purposes. 4 ysilic
Encouragement for the deep test
lies in q belief that the source Of
these wells was a pool underlying
the basalt. If so. its yield could be
greater than that Of all of the shall
low wells.
A depth Of $3.50 feet had been
attained when a fishing Job was en-
countered, the first one that the
operator, the Newbern interests, had
experienced on this property.
The tools were raised into the
casing where they stuck. It looks as
if shooting would need to be re-
sorted to. Eight hundred feet Of
0-inch pipe is cemented in the
hole. In the center Of the produc-
ing area, the hole was a source Of
commercial gas at 300 feet. The
area served with gas is from Pros
ser westward to Toppenish. It Is
believed that the drill was not far
from the expected goal when it was
interrupted.

Grange Warehouse
Is Total Loss by
Fire Thursday
Plan to Rebuild Immed.
lately; May Change
Location

The warehouse of the Kennewick
Grange Supply Co., was completely
destroyed by fire last Thursday
evening. The building and con-
tents were a complete loss, estimat-
ed at $4,000.
The fire started at midnight fol-
lowing an explosion, after which
the entire building seemed to burst
into flames. Failure of the fire
alarm to operate gave the flames
q good start before the fire depart
ment arrived on the scene.
Plans for rebuilding are now be-
ing made and Manager J. G. Sway7e
today stated that there was a pos
sibility that the new structure would
be located on..the highway north OF
'tteir new grain warehouse, rather
than on the site of the former build
ing. He said also that the plans
being considered included q con-
crete structure, but as yet q def
mite decision had not been made.
The new building will include a
modern feed mill the manager said,
as well as the lines which were car
ried in the other buildings.
Fire Chief Carol Pratt stated
that in view of the many fires thru
out the state during the past few
days some thought Of incendiarism
had been entertained, but a thoro
investigation of the premises failed
to disclose any indications of that
nature. -

Washington in the Rappahannock
River the day before Gen. WASH
ington threw the famous silver
dollar across that river at Ferry
Farm.
Most people have heard about
the dollar, but I'm one of the few
who knows about the bass" Mr..
Leach revealed slyly. 1--WE didnt t
tip off Walter johnson to that one
because we felt sure fur bearing bass
are extinct in the Rappahannock,"
he added.
Advanced Several Theories.
The chamber of commerce had
previously advanced several theories
as to the origin of the trout in the
Arkansas River. One was that the
State Fish Commission had put
some trout in the river in winter
and gave them fur coats to keep
them from freezing. Another was
that female trout was scared badly
by a muskrat at spawning time and
the result was offspring with fur
birthmarks.
These ideas had smelled strongly
OF artificially grated rabbit and
squirrel skin to Mr.. Orsinger, and
reminded him, he said, of the fellow
in Chicago who decided that If he
could get chicken eggs cold enough
fur-bearing chicks would be the
outcome.
But now, with Mr.. Leach's memo
randum at hand, he has written the
chamber Of commerce as follows:
I'm afraid I stuck my neck out
too far in my rash statement, and
shall now hide my head until I am
certain it is not fungus but just hair

thing over 300 years, it is therefore sup
posed to be logical reasoning that less
than 100000 Firms are constantly
planning conquest Of Russia at least as
far as the Ural Mountains. It might
be well to remember that the United
States has boundary line of some 5000
miles with Canada and that this line is
entirely unfortided and the only alarms
that have ever been noted on the part
of any Of my fellow citizens have arisen
from wintry blasts from Hudson Bay.
I did note that the writer admitted
that the Firms are a deserving people,
but Immediately found 1t necessary to
add, Their leaders are today perform
ing for them and for the world a dis
tinct disservice. Fighting when there is
no reasonable chance of securing a
single satisfactory result is 100 per cent
foolishness."
That would seem to put the question
as to whether If it was worth while to
live in a democracy it should not also
be worth while to fight for the preserva-
ton Of it. With regard to fighting, and
the prospect of success. it might be in
teresting to determine what were the
thoughts of those who gave their lives
at Bunker Hill, the Alamo, Gettysburg
and Flanders Field. W.T..
