A new automobile police patrol wagon for the central station and horsepower wagons for each of the other stations in the city will probably be the next improvement applied to the city police department by Chief Bodeker The mat ter is to be taken before the council to- morrow night, and Chief Bodeker said last night that he thought the plan would be adopted.
 The department is greatly in need of better patrol service. At present an old carriage is being used for the purpose, the prisoners and the "cop'' being de- posted on the back seat. The Black Maria" formerly in use. Is laid up for repairs. The wheels have broken down

EXTRAORDINARY
SURVEY
Five Surveyors Under En-
gineer Butler Are at
Work.

The preliminary survey for the
state aid road between Leavenworth
and Peshastin is now being made by
a crew of five surveyors, working
under the direction of Engineer But
Ter, from the Office of State Highway
Commissioner Bowlby of Olympia.
1t is estimated that this survey will
be completed by the last of newt
week.
One of the surveyors remarked
yesterday that good road will be
possible with a maximum grade at
any point of per cent There are
two places in the road of 200 or 800
feet extent where this grade will be
necessary, the balance being quite
level. One of the objections that
had been urged against the receiving
assistance from the state was that
a rule obtains that no state aid
money can be appropriated for road
whose grade at any point exceeds 5
per cent. The preliminary survey

now being made is for the purpose
primarily of overcoming this objec-
ton. The surveyors find that it Qan
be done by blasting out several large
boulders.
This preliminary survey is made
under the direction of the state high
way commissioner. After its COM
pletion the survey, together with
plans, estimates of cost and mainten-
ance will be turned over to the coun-
ty commissioners. Having these da-
tas before them, if majority votes
favorably, an appropriation will be
made for the construction of the
road One-half of the expense will
be borne by the county and half by
the state After the completion OF
the highway it will be maintained al
the expense of the county.

Agent Piper, $50 cars of fruit have
been shipped out of this station this
year up to September l. The state
ment of last year showed 222 cars
up to the same date, considerably
more than double for this year. Had
the prices not slumped on peaches
the record would have been great
one for the next two weeks, but as it
is there are being shipped but on an
