oil or gas is found. This is a com
mon practice in exploration. The
geophysical work was done sep
arately by the two companies and
the findings combined. The project
will be known as Union fail Com
pany-Standard Oil Company Hofert
No. 1, and although Union will
drill this well. Standard Oil Com
pany of California is a full partner
in the venture.
About 35,000 acres are involved
in the project in Kitsap, Pierce

is approximately 15 miles north

and ending in May, 1946 when the
well was abandoned as a dry hole
at 6.230 feet. Alderwood Commun
ity No. 1 was drilled south of Ever
ett. starting January 1947. and end
ing October 1947, when it was
abandoned as a dry hole at 11,002
feet. Back in the twenties, Stan

in the Grays Harbor area.
Mrs. Lloyd Calvert was called to

I
Oh dear! I have just been hear
ing about this person and that fam
ily going to the warm country Out
side for the winter. It makes me a
little homesick and envious when
I think of wading through snow
and battling cold winds for the
next six months.
I Oh. well, I'll get out. my Long
I Johns, fill up the oil tanks, set
' the old jaw, and dig in for the
j winter along with the rest of the
town.
| One thing good about it, we
(usually have more sunny winter
(cTavs than we did last summer, and
jwhether the sun shines on green
leaves or snow, it is always thrill
ing to see. Then there are those
gorgeous colors at sunrise and sun
set that are more beautiful in!
Seward than any where else in
I the world. I'll stand in the street
j at midnight and worship under the’
[Northern Lights. I'll love the
i Christmas card homeyness of little
houses and church steeples man
tled in white and drowned in the
moonligh l. I'll revel in long,
smooth roads tunnelled through,
high white wallsj painted with
j shadows of blue and purple, under
I skies so clear that one can feel God.
Yes, I'll- live through the winter
after all, and love it! How about]
you?
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank our dear friends,
Brothers, Sisters, and comrades of
Seward, Moose Pass and Cooper
Landing for their kindness and the
beautiful flowers for my wife.
