Manager Smith declared that he had records of transactions where from 5 to $24 had been paid for 30 equities In liberty bonds of the fourth issue, and that the laying off of men at the shipyards had caused a sudden attack by unscrupulous buyers upon the par tially paid bond receipts, offering far less than these are worth.

YAKIMA LOCATES GAS FLOW Resident of Abtannm Valley Finds Supply While Seeking Water. TAKIMA. Wash.. Nov. 29. (Special.) A well between 200 and 300 feet deep on the farm of I. S. Pue, In the Ahtanura Valley, several miles south' west of this city, is giving off a con siderable gas flow. The weil was drilled recently for a water supply for the farm, and without any expectation of finding gas. No other gas wells have ever been found in that part of the valley, and 'the development, taken in connection with the discoveries of gas at different piaces in the Rattlesnake hills, has aroused much interest. The gas flow appears to have considerable pressure, but whether or not It is of sufficient volume to be of commercial value has not been determined.
