ed" he said.
This week many Of the frozen
lines had been thawed out but
many Others still were frozea.
Some even said they would wait
for the sun to do the job - tired
Of calling the welding machine
operator at $500 apiece and up.
Some residents have called the
welding machine operator three
and four times. Some jobs ran
into 500. One man said the cp-
orator worked on his pipes until
there was bill for SIS, land then
i told him TO quit" He had told
the man he didn't think his pipes
could be thawed out because OF
their size and length.
Most welding machine opera
tors charge by the length and
size of the pipe. A short small
pipe is a minimum job. One rea-
son why charges are So high Is
that the welding machines often
burn out.

Mint Becomes Major Crop Here, But
Frost May Haze Hurt Local Crop

If you chewed gum, or brushed
your teeth, or ate candy in 1913,
it is extremely likely that some
where along the line you tasted
the end product Of Pacific North
vast peppermint farms.
Twenty-Five years ago the only
mint grown in Washington and
Oregon was that poisoning in
someone's own personal garden.
There was none of what now is
termed commercial mint growing.
Today more peppermint is
grown in the Pacific Northwest
than in any other area in the
world. The mint crop is worth
more TO Washington and Oregon
farme-c than any single fresh
vegetable crop and more than
any canned vegetable crope kept
peas.
Last year Pacificc Northwest
farmers grew more than 100000
pounds Of peppermint - topping
for the first time in American
history the output of the only
competitors - Michigan and In
diana = by 100000 pounds.
The Kennewick country Is not
ed for its high grade mint crop
which has been one of the prln-
cipal crops the last several years.
Cold weather may have damaged
the present crop, growers in this
section reported this week.
The crop crossed its growers
an average Of more than s. q.
pound and $500 per acre.
Attracted by the large poten-
tial profits, Spectators dug roots
in the early spring and shipped
them TO various parts Of the coun-
try. Some Of these roots reached
Oregon and Washington where
they were planted in the Salem
area, the Kennewick area and
along the lower Columbia.

CY' Catches Bill
Hiifinq Richland
By OLE H. OLSON

Member Washington Legislature
Some progress is being made
in legislation; in fact. more than
has been evidenced in equal time
in recent previous sessions, but
still not anything on the major
problems.
We were assured now that
Governor Langlie's budget recon-
mendations will be forthcoming
this week. Also, it seems reason
ably certain that his tax program
will be handed the legislators
about the same time. Both will
be awarded with interest because
they do present the big problems
that must be thrashed out. II
they can be presented at this time
it will allow more time for action
and this is desirable.
An illustration of how all leg
islation must be watched occurred
this week. A bill was introduced
changing the setup of justice Of
peace elections and courts, limit
ing ITEM to incorporated towns
and cities. Representative Miller
of the 10th district Immediately
spotted the fact that this would
preclude Richland, for insance, a
town Of some $4,000 or more
people. from having a justice
court since it is not an incorpor-
ated organization. He has !. OBJ
tanned consent from the authors
of the bill to correct this over
sight through an amendment.
The effort to help on tcoun-
ties and equalize the distribution
of tax funds made Roadway in
the house the past week with the
passage of house bill and house
bill SIS. The former returns to the
county for current expense the
nineteenth mill which had been
going to the state equalization
fund. Incidentally, this fund has
a surplus Of approximately S.

would last fourteen or fifteen
years; whereas, a great many OF
