OF STRAW ON ROADS
Henry Vincent of Lee Station, Makes

Straw Regarding Movement
Just Started.

Henry Vincent of Lee station, one
Of the most prominent wheat growers
in this section of the country, is in
the city today working in the interests
of the movement for good roads start
ed bv w. H. Case. road supervisor of
District No. A. Mr. Vincent is one of
the farmers who sees the wonderful
results that may be obtained by straw
ing the roads of this valley from year
to wear and is willing to help the
cause along in every possible way.
Realizing the increased values that
land NAV raise to, by having good
roads leading to and from the differ
ent farms. he wants to see the move
ment started at once and assisted by
every person who is able to. Speak
ing of this matter, Mr.. Vincent said:
I'VE all want to help, for no one
can realize what good will be &C
complished by this movement. Our
roads need it and by systematic effort,
thew will soon be in first class con-
dition. l have lots of straw that can
be used and l know of many other
farmers who are looking for the OPP
portunity to put it on the roads. AS
an example, there is one stretch of
strawed road from Riverside to the
Ed. Powers ranch, northeast of the
CITY and this is used to the exclusion
of all others. 1t is smooth and driv-
ing over it is a pleasure.
Representing my part of the coun-
trv. | can assure Mr.. Case that he will
obtain a great help from us and other
farmers feel the same about this
Many of them will now place their
straw near the roads so that it can be
easily procured and when once the
roads have been strawed, the rest will
be an easy matter"

DON'T THROW YOUR
MATCHES IN STRAW
Farmer Has Difficulty In Putting Out
Fires In Straw Roads-Travellers
Are Warned Against Care
lesSneSS

In conjunction with the move for
better roacs by strawing, farmers of
different parts of the county are of
the belief that a warning against the
habit of throwing lighted matches in
the straw roadway should be sound
ed. While coming to the city this
morning, S. E. Harris, a we'll known
Walla Walla valley rancher, was
forced to fight fire on a straw road
before he could proceed to his desti
nation. AS the straw was damp Mr.
Harris had but little trouble, though
a week ago Sunday he experienced a
strenuous time from the same cause
Mr.. Harris said this afternoon he has
frequently witnessed people driving
along straw -streWn roads light a cigar
or pipe and carelessly toss the still
burning match into the straw road
bed.
Now that the move for better roads
has been started in real earnest, the
farmers hope travellers will exercise
some precaution and thus prevent the
roadbed burning.

One of the best jokes on the local

second floor of the Ransom building
and asked if Mr. Shaw was in. (Friends
of the Colonel can fully appreciate the
joke.)
Moving back from the table where he
was at work and removing the two-bit
cigar from the corner of his mouth,
the colonel 'fessed up and asked the
visitor in office parlaEce, what was
wanted.
Il want you to look at my head" said
the man who was suffering with the
disease which centuries ago tried the
patience of Job.
Reluctantly, yet seriously, the colonel
arose from his seat and examined the
sore place as infinitely as if adjusting
a fire loss, and looked wise.
What do you think of it?'. asked the
sick man.
Il think that it is a pretty bad head,
sympathetically replied the colonel.
We'll what would you advise me to

DRYDEN GETS DAMAGE IN
CASE AGAINST AUTOlSTS
Given $25 and Costs by Judge MckIn'
ney, Because His Horse was
Frightened by Machine.

Decision in the case of F. A. Dryden
against Emory Corkrum and {. w. NC
Intosh for damages, was rendered by
Judge McKonney today, the plaintlff
receiving s25 and his costs amounting
to $13.
On last June 5, Mr.. Dryden was driv-
ing a horse through the country, when
he encountered an automobile driven
bv C. w. Mcintosh, an employe OF the
Inland Auto company. Becoming
frightened at the machine, the morse
backed over an embankment, breaking
the buggy. though doing no damage to
the occupants. Because this was clear
w shown in the justice court, the plain
tiff was allowed damages amounting
to $25.
Owing to the topography Of the
country where the accident occurred
which was rough and uneven, Judge
Mckinney ruled that the rate of speed
at which the car was going was eX-
cessive and further stated that from
- to Is miles an hour is going too fast
when the country is not known.
