REV. AND MRS. GRAHAM

A farewell party was given to
Rev. L. G. Graham, pastor OF the
Calvary Baptist church and his wiie
Yesterday afternoon and last even
ing at the parsonage. AS an excuse
to invade the premises the ladies OF
the church started in to conduct a
quilting bee. They brought dinner,
they brought supper and they
brought all their families, and when
they left they left many good things
behind for the good pastor and wife.
In giving pleasure to DR.. Graham
and family they greatly enjoyed the
day themselves, but left with many
regrets because of DR.. Graham's de-
parture. He and his wife will leave
for Albuquerque, New Mexico, about
May 81, where they go to visit their
sons for several months. DR.. Ora
ham has no plans for the future. He
may decide to settle in the west.

Grange Asked to Help Making Exhibit

c. B. Kegley, Master of the State
Grange, in correspondence with local
Granger, suggests that the Grange take
up the work of making an exhibit of
grasses and grains in the straw for ex-
hibition at the National Grange session
at Spokane next fall, and also speci-
mems of fruit, vegetables and other
farm products.
Grasses and grains should be tied up
in small bundles, and hung heads down
in cool place, so that the light cannot
strike and bleach it, the darker the
better.
Now that the hay and grain harvest
are about to begin is the proper time to
prepare these exhibits and make selec-
tons from your fields.
Exhibits could also be prepared to be
shown at the county fair, to be held at
Newport this fall and exhibited later at
the Spokane Interstate Fair.
The members of the Grange should be
deeply interested in the matter of get
ting up an exhibit that will show the
resources of this section.
The strawberry season will be at it's
height in short time, and samples of
berries and other seasonable fruit should
be selected and preserved for exhibition
purposes.

MODERN ROADMAKING.
Efforts In England to Meet Motor and
Trolley Car Traffic.

Efforts In England to Meet Motor and
Trolley Car Traffic.
The following illustrates the efforts
in England to meet in roadmaking the
conditions imposed by motor and troll
ley car traffic:
A new and direct roadway is pro-
posed between West Hartlepool and
Middlesbrough, near Newcastle. in the
county of Northumberland, a direct
line Of seven and three-fourth miles.
In designing the roadway the engineer
in charge has given attention to the
possible development in both heavy.
slow and fast vehicular and motor traf-
fic. each Of which demands separate
consideration and possibly different
methods of road surface treatment
The plan accordingly provides for a
center footpath nine feet in width, on
the east side Of the footpath a road for
motor and light, fast traffic twenty
four feet In width and on the west side
OF the footpath a road for heavy. slow
traffic twenty-five feet in width This
gives width for highway purposes Of
hfty-f1ve feet. The plan further shows
on the westernmost side of the foot
path width Of fourteen feet reserved
for light railway or trolley purposes
making total width Of land to be &C.
quired of sixty feet.
A scheme similar to this will doubt
less control future roadmaking in Eng
land. and existing roads may be re-
constructed on corresponding plan.
One of the chief advantages in sepa
rating the several kinds of traffic would
be in permitting different methods of
surfacing the roads to be used and
those best adapted to the traffic ac-
commodated Another advantage would
be the lessening of the chances of ac-
cidents. A third advantage would be
the greater speed permissible to fast
travelling. Walter c.. Hamm,

Won Deciding Game From Yarneys.

Newport made it two out of three
from the Varneys Sunday, winning the
game by score of 10 to 6. It was the
kind of a game that the average fan
delights in, one that was full of the
snappy sound of hickory meeting horse
hide. Batting averages were fattened
and daring base running-not always
successful livened up the game.
The first inning each drew blank,
but in the second Newport crossed the
plate with five scores. In the third
each got one and in the fourth the Var
neys gathered three on homo run hit.
In the first half of he~~seventh the Var
neys tied the score, and as they had
been going strong it looked like fight
to the finish. but our half Melted three
and again put us on Easy street.
The ninth looked bad for us when the
Varneys got three on bases with only
one out, but the next batter famed and
the last man hit fly to center, which
Sandy Judge gatehred in and closed the
game.
Tom Judge and Payne each got a
home run and two of the Varneys did
likewise. Newport got total of Is
hits and the Varneys 9. Navarro struck
out 13, Woldorph 4. Payne. who had
been playing second, went back of the
bat in the seventh and was given an
ovation by the fans. Walt is playing a
great game at backstop and is one of
our most reliable hitters.
