BETTER HIGHWAYS THE TOPIC OF
DISCUSSION AT CON-
MERCIAL CLUB.
"Walla WaIa Plan" introduced by n
S. BIandford, Whs Would Build
With City as a Hub.

Good roads and their attending ben
efts was the principal subject discus
Sed at the regular moEthly~ meeting
of the Commercial club last night
and from the many speakers who
talked on this topic, some new idea
concerning this movement were OBJ
tanned
Several good plans for the building
Of good roads vera suggested and
from an interesting paper which had
been prepared by H. S. Blanford, those
present were able to secure some
knowledge of what they would cost.
MIR. Blanford first proposed 1.-THE
Walla Walla City Plan," that this
city be used as a hub and that all
public roads leading from here for
distance of five miles be improved.
1t was then suggested by the speaker
that the road from this city to Waits
burg via Dixie would be the natural
route to improve.
Statements were made that both
Umatilla and Columbia counties
have agreed to build and improve their
county roads to their line and that
Walia Walla county, could meet tn eir
road Improvement at our county line
Estimates were furnished showing
that county road could be improved
with crushed rock, the road bed to
be IS feet wide, with the rvck nine
Inches in the center, at an estimated
cost of from $500 to $500 a mile
with no allowances made for fills and
bridges, but Mr.. Blanford stated that
these items would not amount to much
as the proposed road from this city to
Waitsburg would require little filling
and that the bridges already existing
would not have to be replaced.
statements We're made that under
the state aid law, it was found that
it would be impossible to build more
than two miles of road each year. and
that the only way to improve the pub
lie highways on any reasonable scale
within the next two years, would be
BY special levy, to be made by the
board of county commissioners for this
purpose. The limit of the tax levy
Tat can be made is four mills and it is
estimated that $4,000 year can be
raised in Walla Wala each year, on
scch a levy.
Ply a unanimous vote of the club IL
was decided, that the Commercial
club shall go on record as favoring an
aFgr ssive campaign in goo1 road
b"iding and that the board OF county
commissioners be assured OF the en-
tire backing of the club for a tax levy

BLIND SENATOR IS
ACTIVE IN DEBATE

Senator Gore is a constant source OF
wonder and admiration to his col
leagues. Not all of them, by any
means. on either side of the chamber
agree with his radical views on some
questions, but republicans as well as
democrats are constantly being amazed
bv the display of his remarkable pow
ers of memorization Bereft of the
sense of sight he has developed his
memory to an extraordinary degree.
Sometimes ne will quote sections OF
the rending bill. AT others. after list
ening to a long and technical explana-
ton of some subject, he will recall a
statement made during the course OF
the speech, quote it accurately and
proceed To criticise it.
But his most wonderful feat in men
emonics Of which the senate has yet
been, witness occurred the other DAY
when he got up and reeled off, with
out hesitation or break, a lot of sta
tistics regarding the capitalization, To-
tai earnings, INST earnings, average d.
vidends. and special dividends, of
large number of Now England Cotton
mills. The speech filed a page and
half of the congressional record the
next speech filed a page and hair
of the congressional record the next
day and was crowded with figures. So
far no one of them has been disputed.
That it astonished his colleagues goes
without saying. 1t was the most mar
velous exhibition of memory in the am
ua1s of the senate.
The blind senator has to have every
thing read to him. His wife and his
secretary do this for him and 1t Is no
easv task. He listens with close appii-
cation, and, when point is reached
unon which he desires further enlight-
eminent he insists that other books OF
reference shall be found and that point
elucidated before proceeding further.
The reading covers a wide range OF
subjects and his mind retains what ne
hears: so that when he takes the floor
to make a speech he is as well
equipped for the debate as other men
who possess all their senses

FORMER FIREMAN
SAVES OWN HOME.
Art Cope's Experience Enables
Him to Put Out Blaze
in Kitchen.

Due to the experienced knowledge of
Art Cope, who is said to be an oldtime
San Francisco fireman, the former home
of Doctor Noblitt in Kalihi, near Mid
die and Rose streets, and now occupied
by Cope, was saved from destruction
by fire during the noon hour yesterday.
Lunch was being prepared in the kit
chen adjoining the main house when the
blue flame gasoline stove exploded and
the flames spread to the wooden walls.
Cope displayed considerable nerve in
the face of the fiery outbreak, and i'm
mediately closed the doors and windows
to exclude drafts, and in SO doing
was burned about the face and hands.
But his promptness saved the house and
when the fire department arrived its
services were not needed.

what he does say is very much to the

he says, land then take the next boat
to Australia. They are the genuine
sports over there, aud l am sure of a
big welcome when I arrive.

CHICKEN THIEF
GOES To REEF
Kong ing Dow Robbed BOOSTS
of Manoa Valley, but
Was Caught.

A man who has the nerve to steal
chickens from the clerk of the deputy
sheriff may be entitled to admiration
of a certain kind, but he also deserves
everything he gets. Kong ING Dow
got three months. He also got a year
more for robbing the henroost Of Doe
tor Duncan, the government chemist
Kong ING Dow is afflicted with a
great longing for chicken-the wing
and a little of the dark meat, if You
please This great longing has got him
into trouble several times before, so
often, in fact, that he has achieved
the reputation of being one of the most
expert chicken thieves in the city.
Perhaps Kong ing Dow didn It know
whose chickens they were that he was
stealing; probably he didn't care. He,
as an expert on chickens, recognized
that they were good chickens, and he
just took them. The roosts he robbed
were up Manoa Valley. But Kong was
careless; he allowed several people to
see him wandering about the valley, and
when Solomon Meheula and Doctor Dun
can went out in the early morning to
feed the chickens and discovered that
there were no chickens to feed, the
finger of suspicion was promptly point
ed at Kong. Kong was gathered in,
and Saturday morning Judge Andrade,
recognizing him as an old offender,
handed him the two packages mention
ed at the beginning of this story.

gained a long lead on Addison. AT

Sumner kicked to the Marine ten
yard line and the fullback packed the
leather twelve yards before he was
downed. The Marines then made con-
certed attack on Everett Richardson,
but could make no gain, and so they
,resorted to a kick. Desha received and
ran twenty yards.
Then the Townies tried some end
runs, but had to kick on account of
making no gains. The Marines tried
forward pass, but the Townies beat
them to it and the latter kicked to their
opponents thirty-yard line. A return
kick took it to the Townies' thirty
yard line, where the ball was fumbled,
and the Marines concentrated all their
efforts on a three-fnger split play. This
was broken up in short order, however,
and the Marines lost ground.
Gradually the Townies carried the
ball down to the front of the Marine
goal The latter got the ball and sig
mailed for kick, but Clement Akina
blocked it and Elisha Andrews, instead
of trying to scoop the ball, kicked 1t
over the line, ran up and fell on it,
then, as nobody tried to tackle him,
/ he carried the ball and placed it square
ly between the goal posts. Haole Sum
ner kicked the goal, and the only six
points of the game had been scored.
From then on the Marines struggled
bravely to score, but the Town de
Tense was too good for them. They
tried forward passes, threefnger splits
and skin tackle plays, but all without
avail. The game ended with the bal
near the center of the field, and the
victory for the Townies by the com
