ENGINEERS MAKING RAPID PROGRESS
CREWS WORKING TOWARD EACH
OTHER-WlLl BE IN CITY
SHORTLY.

Prof. W d. Lyman of Whitman Col
Iege has been appointed statistical
agent Of the Columbia & Walla Walla
Traction company and will take the
field next Monday morning.
prof Lyman Is we'll qualified for
the place and the trustees are more
than pleased at securing his services
for the work we have in hand" Pres
ident Morrow said last evening. "The
work consists of securing data relative
to the amount of grain, produce, live
stock dairy products, etc, raised along
the proposed route for a distance of
three miles on either side of the right
of way.
IN addition to this we will ascer-
tain the amount of business handled
by transportation companies in each of
the cities and towns that will be
touched by the proposed electric line.
The idea of this work is to approx1-
mately estimate the probable business
that the proposed road will be able to
get at the outset and it is highly ne
cessary that a fairly accurate esti-
mate be obtained so that we can have
it in proper shape to present to the
people we expect to interest in the new
road when the time comes to finance
the project"

Engineers Making Progress.

President Morrow stated last night
that the engineering party at work in
the western end of the county will be
at the mouth of Garrison creek near
Valley Chapel by tomorrow night The
party surveying from Dayton west will
arrive at the John Miller place near
Dixie by Monday.
The engineers are making rapid
progress" President Morrow said.
While the work is being done rapidly
it is not being sighted in the least
and We consider we have as good a
route for the proposed road as it is
possible to get. 1t will probably take
80 days yet to finish that part of
the work"
President Morrow stated that the
committees appointed from the Dayton
and Waitsburg Commercial clubs to
secure terminal and depot grounds in
those two cities have commenced work
and are meeting with excellent success.

Be Done Systematically.

Prof Lyman will go about the work
Of securing data in a systematic way
He will visit every land owner within
the prescribed district and carefully
note the grain. horses, cattle dairy
products, poultry and other produce
raised and shipped. In the cities and
towns touched by the new road he will
ascertain the amount of freight that
is shipped in and exported and gather
other data bearing on the subject.
This data will be compiled in tabu-
lated form and will be supplemented
with observations as to the probable
Increase in the amount of business
that the proposed road will be able to
secure after it is in operation. 1t is
expected that two months will be re-
quired to complete the work assigned
to Prof LYMAN

Why Adulterated
Paint is Dear .

A maker of adulterated
white lead sneered "Why
should paint be pure? No
one eats it.
True, but when white
lead is adulterated with
barytes, sublimed lead,
gypsum, whiting, ETC., it
loses the qualities which
make pure white lead the
best paint pigment.
And when these irnita-
tons are sold as white lead,
the consumer is deceived
into payingwhite lead prices
for worthless substitutes.
