GOOD ROADS
HIGHWAY

Four convict S~tone-cruShing plants
are to be in operation in the state of
Washington by September 30 under
direction of State Highway Commits
sioner Snow. One of these is to be at
the Selah GAP, a couple of mills north
of North Yakima, and will employ so
convicts; one will be established at
Deception Pass, on F!dalgo Island, and
will employ 100 c%onvicts; another will
be established in the southwestern
part of the state, probably in Lewis
county, and will employ so convicts,
and the fourth, employing so convicts,
will be located near Spokane.
There is now available $124,000 of
state money for the erection of these
plants and quarters, and an additional
$4,000 for expert examination of the
quarries.
The present board of county COM
m~issioners are doing splendid work
in improving the county roads. The
work is being done in a manner a
will endure, and if the same policy is
continued for a few years Whitman
county bad roads will be a thing of the
past. The macadamized road west of
town is an example of the good work
and the great improvement was very
noticeable the past winter. Formerly
this road was almost impossible dur
ing the winter season.; but the past
muddy season that country rOad was
equal to our own city streets. Every
dollar expended for such roads is a
dollar we'll spent. And in a few years,
if the policy is continued, the improve
ment will be extended to cover every
road in the county. 1t is permanent
Pullman News.
Walla Walla county, conceded to be
a garden spot of the Northwest, is
assured another attraction ever better
than any which she can 10Y boast of.
In line for good roads at a minimum
cost, it is now urgent that those high
ways be mapped out in the places
where they will both serve the gen.
eral public to the best advantage and
at the same time be a mecca for the
average sightseer who may traverse
them. With convict labor provided
for and cheap rates for material OBJ
tanned it is claimed that the cost of
construction of the states highways
will be reduced from so to rs per cent.
Under this decrease it will be possible
for those in charge of the work to
build nearly double the amount of
roads as could otherwise be provided
for. One of the finest roads in the
| state will be that from Wallula to Day
ton. When built it will be by a state

EARTH ROADS.

At one of the three Farmers Insti-
tute schools held in New York Mr..
Winters gave a talk on dirt Roads"
In it he said that not all farmers can
yet have stone roads. At present, we
must make the most of dirt roads,.
Work roads early in spring. Begin
by opening bitches. Don't use dirt
roads any more than possible until
they are settled. Tile, laid in on
crete, makes the best sluice. Put a
foot of dirt over each sluice, and make
the road level and smooth over them.
Grade the road as much as possible.
Much of this work can best be done
with pick and shovel. Don't move
a pound of dirt more than is necessary.
Use a road machine AFTER the first of
July. | have n small road machine
that one heavy team and man can
handle. The large machine is expen-
sive to use, and moves too much dirt.
The small machine will open bitches,
level roads, etc., cheaply. Besides the
road machine, I use the king" drag.
This completes the work, by filling
ruts and smooths the road.
If used when the roads are moist,
the dirt hardens something like a
brick, so it makes a hard road. After
the road is well graded, I put a load
of cinders or gravel on the road-one
load for the length of the wagon. 1
don't have much mud when the road
is so finished. Stones are removed
three or four times a year. | put
stones in place that need to be filled
in. I use the wide tires on farm wag-
ons, six inches, with hind axle six
inches longer, so as to make a track
nine inches wide. We want stone
roads, but we want the best dirt road
until We a get them.

against door-catch during fall. All

CLINTON HILL FOLK FAVOR
TWENTY-YEAR FRANCHISE.
Modified Law Suggested by For.
n1er Railroad Commissioner.

That the people of Clinton Hill are
decidedly In favor of the new twenty
year franchise was evidenced last night
at the regular meeting of the Clinton
Hill Improvement Association In Berke-'
ley Hall. The subject that received the
most attention was the refusal of the
Public Service Corporation to build new
trolley lines, whi.h the Clinton Hill
folk are certain that section of the city
needs, because, so the Public Service
Corporation says, 1t is not a paying
proposition to build trolley lines under
a twenty-year franchise.
After DIR. William Buermann, presi-
lent of the association. had gone over
the subject, explaining in detail the
present situation, former Railroad Com
missioner Borden Whiting discussed the
matter informally.
According 10 that" Mr.. Whiting said,
"the Public Service interests seem to
hold in their hands the destiny of your
community, and may make or break
Clinton Hill as they see fit. dSince the
refusal of the corporation was made on
account of the present franchise law
the question to discuss appears with a
twofold aspect: Shall the law be modi-
fed, and II not, what, in the face OF
present conditions, shall we do9f The
use of a public street by franchise
should be granted only on terms con-
templating conditions as they exist al
the present time"

JERSEY LILIES SNAPPY
ATTRACTION AT WALDMANN'S.

With a snap and dash the Jersey
Lilies Extravaganza Company got off
to a splendid start at Waldmann's
Theatre last night. In the opening bur-
lesque, Twisted Mix-ups." the plot
gives each member of the company a
chance to display his or her special
talents. n the action of the piece is
smooth and entertaining. Good songs,
most of them new; bewitchlng dances
and pretty girls make up the attraction,
which ranks with any seen here In
some time. Leon Enrol and James E.
Cooper, the comedians, kept the audi
ence in constant good humor, while
Fannie Vedder and Lucia Cooper re-
reated their former successes.
The olio is particularly strong, the
National Four having an especially fine
singing and dancing act. "A Love
Potion was the concluding burlesque
and kept up to the high standard sci
by the first part of the performance.
