FROM nearby TOWNS :

Observation-Disclosures. William Siegrist
and j. ]. Rubenser, of Pomeroy, were
in the city from Saturday until We'd
nesday, investigating the opportuni-
ties offered here for a flourishing bust
ness. They propose to erect a new and
thoroughly good plant. With a capacity
of about one hundred barrels per day,
should they conclude that Washtucna
would be a paying point at which to
operate a mill.
Both Mr. Siegrist and Mr.. Rubenser
are pleasant spoken gentlemen and
give the impression that they mean
business. The former is miller of ex-
perience and the latter is Il prominent
farmer in the Pomeroy country. They
have been scouting for the past three
or four months and express them
selves as better pleased with the
prospects at Washtucna than at any
other point that they have visited.
A bonus of 5000 bushels of wheat,
to be subscribed by the wheat raisers
in the country tributary to Washtuc-
ma, will be asked for if they decide to
erect the mill here. Already several
hundred bushels have been offered and
it is thought there would be no diff
Guilty in raising the required amount.
The investment altogether would
amount to between $4,000 and $4,000
The question of fuel is one that

Interesting IF True.

LONDON. Jan. ALI Wales is just
now discussing a strange tale of a
prophecy of woe reported from the
town Of Bethesda. Recently. while
woman was washing her three months
old child $50 the story goes) she was
thunderstruck to hear her baby say,
"Blwyddyn of nadwy fydd fiwyddyn
nesaf. man." Roughly translated this
means: Next year will be a terrible
year, mother"
The mother, terrified laid the child
down and ran to a neighbours house
and told a woman there Of the oc-
currence. The woman at once ran
into the house and, picking the child
up, soOthed and caressed it awhile, and
then, half playfully, half in earnest,
she said to the child. Did you tell your
mother that next year would be ter
rible year," To her unbOunded as
tonishment the child replied. Yes
and fell back dead.
The child was buried the following
day. in the presence of large crOWds,
who discussed the story and spread 1t
far and wide. Coming Immediately af-
ter the close of the prolonged strike
in the slate quarries, this prophecy
has profoundly Influenced the minds
of the superstitious throughout the lit
tie principality.

new ROAD SYSTEM
COMMISSIONERS AND SUPERvIs.
ORS WILL MEET MONDAY TO
OUTLINE WORK FOR YEAR.
is Expected That the New Law Will
Bring Better Results Than the
Old Ono Did.

The county commissioners and the
new road supervisors of the three dis
tricts in Walla Walla county will meet
next Monday at the Hall Of Records
for the plrpose of considering and
outlining plans for the years work.
1t is the intention to begin the work
of improving roads throughout the
county as soon as the weather will
permit. Each road supervisor will Sc
lect his crew of men and the work will
be done in a systematic manner. They
VIII begin on one piece of road and
continue the work until that particu-
lar thorOughfare has been put in first
class shape. Under the new system
It will be possible for the supervisor
and his helpers to go over every coun-
ty road in the county, and the old way
or repairing the highways will be
eliminated. In the past it has been
the rule of the supervisors to do a ma
JOr portion of the work on the roads
his own use. and the other roads in his
district would not be touched at all.
The county commissioners are conf
dent that the new system will result
very beneficial to the taxpayers, not
only in the expenditure Of money but
in better roads. Under the old law the
taxpayer was permitted to work out
his road tax under the supervision of
the supervisor in the district. He was
allowed for the work the sum of 81 per
day. and if he used team he was Civ
en- credit for $3.50 more. Whenever
the supervisor desired to do work on
the roads he took a days time going
around among the farmers and nOti-
flying them that he wanted them to
come out and work, specifying the
day. The farmer would usually put
in an appearance about 8 o'clock in the
morning, with one Of the poorest teams
he had on his farm. He would then
begin work and continue until noon.
He would then stop for dinner and
by the time he returned it would be
=
and manage to put in the time until
about 4 o'clock when he would knock
off and go home in order that he could
do his chores before dark.
AS an instance Of the costly system
Of working roads under the old law
a case is cited by bill that was pre-
sented to the board of county commits
sioners at the present session. One
Of the old supervisors put in a claim
for $92.5o for warning out taxpayers
and $4S for experimenting operations
after the farmers came to work out
ty was compelled to pay for IA days
actual work on the roads the sum of
$92.50.
