Associated Oil Company
Leases Storage Tanks

Claiming he didn't have a thing to
do with it and didn't even know
about it, Everett Aman, local diStri-
butor for Tidewater Associated Oil
Co., told members Of the chamber of
commerce this noon that his COM
pany had leased the tank facilities
at the port Of Pasco. ...
Asked why he didn't locate his
storage plant at the Kennewick
Port, he said he was not consulted
when the head officials OF the COM
pany came to investigate the propo-
sition. The company has leased
the five new tanks now being con-
structed on the other side Of the
river and would conduct their dist
ribution for Eastern Washington,
Idaho and western Montana from
that point.

Machinery Installed at
Local Port District

All Of the machinery, except the
conveyor belt, has been installed al
the local port district, Milton Lib
by, port manager, reported today
Work on the belt installation was
started today, he said.
Libby also pointed out that the
head pulley in the loading elevator
is the biggest size made, although ii
is not the highest installation, by
any means. The buckets on the
loading belt are 12x7x7, holding
about a peck each. The belt travels
at a mile-a-minute speed, hand
ling 200 tons per hour-something
like 6666 bushels Of wheat.
Fully loaded barges, Mr.. Libby
says, will not he able to negotiate
Homily Rapids until about the mid
die Of December, when the govern
ment dredges will have completed
their work in widening and deep
ening the channel.

Golfers to Entertain
N0n-Players Sunday

Sunday will be guest day at the
local golf course. Members are to
invite non-players to go around with
them in two-ball mixed foursomeS
starting at nine o'clock. Purpose
is to acquaint the general public
with the beautiful course and arouse
more interest in its possibilities.
The course is in the finest condi-
ton it has ever been. The grass
has made an excellent growth this
season and the trees are getting big
enough to give little shade and add
beauty to the grounds, which has
been pronounced one Of the finest
little courses in the state.
Many people, apparently, have the
idea that the course is a private af-
fair, with none but members permit
ted to play. AS matter of fact, an
increasing number of the players
are greens fee payers, quite a few
of whom come from considerable dis
tances to play.
Next Sundays tournament should
provide a lot of fun, both for the
guests and the members. The guests
will be surprised at finding how diff
ficult it is to make good shots, while
the hosts will get a lot of fun out
of watching their guests efforts in
connecting with and controlling the
direction of the little white balls.
The local club will be host to the
Walla Walla Country Club the
middle OF next month, returning
that institutions tournament with
the Twin City players earlier in the
season.

There's probably more specula-
ton on the coming winters weather
this year than for several years in
the past. Most people agree that this
winter will be one for the books
plenty of cold weather and lots of
cold weather and lots of snow. The
weatherman, AL Morgan, doesn't
agree. He predicts a dry year from
now on-no snow this winter and a
dry summer. The past week was
quite different from a year ago
when he registered 100 degrees on
the 9th of September. This year
high for the week was but 84-and
