The Washington Veterans Home.

J. H. Letter came in from Pull
man Tuesday and are here for
a few days visit with his daughter,
Mrs. K. c. Bowers. He and Mrs.
Letter have their home at Port
Orchard, IS miles across the Sound
from Seattle and near Bremerton.
Mr.. Letter has been looking after
the property purchased by the State
for the Washington Veterans Home
for the Board of Control. $4,000
was appropriated for the starting
of this home and is sufficient to
buy the site of 43 acres, build a
cottage or two and one larger build
ing for the overflow from the
State Soldiers Home at Orting, at
which institution there are about
500 old soldiers and the quarters
were originally intended to accom-
modate $50. To complete the plans
for the the home it is planned to
build l6 four-room cottages, each of
which will house s couples. This
plan seems especially desirable as
it permits an old soldier and his
wife to remain together and in a
measure keep up their home life,
and avoids the sorrow which is
caused when a needy old soldier is
taken into the regular home and
provided, for but the wife must 20
elsewhere. These cottages would
accommodate about $50 people. In
addition it will be necessary to
build dining room, an Old Wom-
an 'sHome, an old Men, 8 Home, and
a Hospital. A complete water sys-
tenn can be put in, the source of
supply being springs along noun
tain stream. To complete the en-
tire project will require additional
appropriation aggregating 1915, 900
Mr.. Letter has the plans with him
and is interesting the people of
eastern Washington in the Wash
ington Veterans Home as he has
opportunity. We believe that the
appropriations should be made.
The State has no more urgent duty

Members Formed.

There was a large attendance at
the meeting last Saturday evening
in the Commercial Club Rooms to
effect permanent organization OF
of the Benton County Good Roads
Association and much interest was
manifested by the representatives
from the different parts of the coun-
ty. Interesting talks were made by
Sheriff A. G. McNeill, of Prosser,
and Attorney Lon Boyle of the
same place and R. c. Spaulding of
Patterson. The committee on men,
bership appointed at the previous
meeting when the temporary or
ganization was effected reported
that about 125 members had been

count of being too busy to attend

nothing else to do, accepted the
nomination and was elected. For

A. G.. McNeill were nominated.
Mcneil declined, stating that he
considered the Offices of president,

within easy access at all times.
Richardson being the only nominee
the secretary was instructed to cast
the unanimous vote of the associa-
4ion for Richardson for treasurer.

Neil, of Prosser, Geo. F. Finley, OF

Auditors Get
Together .
Benton KIickitat Debt Adjusted by
Compromise.

After being unable to agree for
more than two years, the county
auditors of Benton and Klickitat
counties finally have reached a
settlement of the amount due
Klickitat from Benton as the result
of the division of the former into
what now forms the two counties.
Benton will pay Klickitat $,242.O5.
The agreement was signed Thurs
day by w. S. Jenkins for Benton
and A. NJ. Macleod for Klickitat
county.
Benton county was split from
Klickitat in 1905. In forming a
basis for the settlement Klickitat's
assessed valuation was put down at
So, 1895, and that of Benton at
$50, ,543. Benton's percentage of
valuation was, therefore .O41. The
total indebtedness to be divided be-
tween the two was $62,344.73 and
Benton's share was fixed at $2556
90; the total credits were $32, ,O49
.65 and Benton's share was S1314
.O4. Taking the credits from the
Indebtedness Benton was found to
owe Klickitat S1242.O5.
Up to the present time county
clerks have been unable to agree
upon a brsis of settlement and dur
ing the early part of the negotia-
tions Klickitat claimed that Ben
ton owed $2274.OS and Benton
claimed to owe a great deal less.
The present settlement is the result
of a compromise.
