opinion that the county is entirely too
large to be handled conveniently and
economically by any set of county Of
ficials. The prosperity and increasing
population of the valley has naturally
increased the class rate OF the county,
and the present county officials are
given an unlimited power in the en-
penditure of funds. In our end of the
county, it is the opinion that the ex-
penditures are becoming TO a certain
extent rather reckless
Marking New County Lines
within the past six months we
have given the question of county di-
vision great deal of attention and
thought and have come to conclus-
ions which apparently meet with the
general opinion of the residents of the
Sunnyside territory relative to a new
county. and which appears to be rea-
sonable to all concerned. My idea
of a division would be: Commencing
at point on the Yakima river where
the river crosses the dividing line be-
tween township II, ranges 19 and 90,
following the general course of the
river south practically dividing town1
ship IL of range 20, striking the
township lines between ranges 20 and
II south of Zillah; thence south on
the said township line between ranges
20 and 81 to the KliclIitat county line:
thence east to Benton county line;
thence north along Benton county
river south practically dividing town
ships IL and ~ or 10 the township
line passing thru the Rattlesnake
hills; thence west following this line
to the point of beginning. This would
give us a county containing all of
townships I, s, 8, 10 and II in ranges
%, % and y and about half of town.
ship II, range 90.
THE new county would then con-
tain practically $50 square mixes, af-
fording the people in the Sunnyside
canal territory a satisfactory terri
tory and, as far as ] have been able
to learn, one satisfactory to the other
people of the valley.
at has also been suggested that in
stead of stopping at the township line
between townships II and II, that

the Benton county line to the Column
bia river and to the northeast corner
of Yakima county; thence west to the
township line dividing ranges 81 and
20; thence south to the line dividing
townships II and 12 thence west
to the Yakima river at the point of
beginning. This does not appeal to
me as much as the general idea [ had
had relative to the matter, as | be-
lieVe it would work a greater hard
snip on the people of that territory in
reaching county seat than at the
present time. Neither do I believe
that such conditions would relatively
relieve the present condition as much
as the county of $50 square miles.
The Sunnyside Chamber of Com
merce has called a special meeting
for Monday night when the matter
viii be discussed further. Later an
invitation will be extended to all the
commercial clubs of the valley within
the limits of the proposed new coun-
ty in an effort to reach some definite
conclusion. Beyond doubt, county di-
vision Will be a strong issue in the
lower valley during the coming cam
paign"

VIII Expend nuch Money On
der Roads
Millions Of Dirt Highways To
Be Rebuilt

JcucToOu lily, aug. SS-l mere ID
much In evidence to show that Mis-
souri, has inaugurated q system Of
road-building which will ultimately
provide for an outlay Of something
like $1,000, 100000. 1t is not purposed
to get the entire amount within any
short time. 1t is only within the last
three years that decisive steps have
been taken for general system Of i'm
proved highways. At that time there
were less than 5000 miles of good
highways in the state, and these were
largely confined to a dozen counties.
There are approximately 100000 miles
of dirt roads in the state at the pres.
ent time, says the Detroit Free Press.
More than SO counties are now boom
ing good highways, and most of them
are either expending large sums Of
money or preparing to do SO In the
near future. The cost Of a good high.
way is big item to any locality, no
matter what the topography of the pro-
posed road may be, although that ma
turally adds to or diminishes the cost.
There are counties along the central
cross.state highways between Kansas
City and st. Louis where the cost Is
more than double what 1t Is In other
counties on the same thoroughfare.
There are stretches in Saline, Lafay'
ette and Howard counties which will
cost as much as $4,000 mile.
Much has been said about making
good highways upon the street i'm
provement plan of the cities. That
system has been abandoned generally
and the district system is being adopt
ed in every county that has extensive
highway improvements under way. To
make abutting land bear the expense
of road improvements would, In many
instances, simply amount to confisca
ton. There are sections Of the state
where the land would not pay for the
improvements. To extend the system
to benefit districts would be to invite
endless litigation.
The district system has come nearer
meeting all objections than any othe
ever proposed. That means that terri
tory comprising eight square mile
may be formed into a road improve
ment district independent Of the coun
ty in which 1t is situated, and the tax
payers thereof may vote road improve
ment bonds. Something like 80 o
these districts have been formed al
ready and great many others ar
being organized, now that the suprem
court has settled the authority an
legality of such organizations and va
idated the bonds they issue.
, Bonds for more than $l,50O,0OO TO
the improvement of the public higf
ways have been issued and propos
tions carrying several times tina
amount will be submitted within tn
! next six weeks. Buchanan count
, alone will vote upon $1,OO0,0o0 pre-
position.
