FINLEY LIVE WIRE SPARKS

We can't relieve ourselves of the
dissatisfied feeling about our new
state road to Kennewick without one
more effort. The delightful rain Sum
day night which has made all Of our
sandy highways into smooth boule-
wards has turned our "oil-spread grav-
ell experiment" into chain of NINA
ture lakes. The ruts heretofore men
toned are canals connecting these be-
eautiful additions to the landscape.
It is sight worth while to see "tin
Lizzie" hit one Of the mirror-like sur
faces on high. The water doesn't run
off nor soak down, but stays there till
the auto or wagon wheels splash it
out. Our worthy county engineer
or whoever it is that should look af-
ter some remedy for this condition
apparently doesn't read the Courier
Reporter, the policy guide, star of
Bethlehem Of the Kennewick Valley,
or he would have borrowed the coun-
ty Ford and taken a ride down here
to see the why of this-our voice "cry-
ing out in the wilderness" We insist
that we are not talking to hear the
sound about the necessity of repairing
this road.
We wonder what Capt. Hoyt uses
to raise alfalfa. Whatever it is it
sure plays havoc with sheep, as 81
Of the Coffin bunch pastured there died
in one day. That per centage Of loss
will soon put the sheep business in as
profitable class as the hog business.
Our Beau Brumm &c
Monroe Ford-has now decided to give

brand new phone. His line is always
lined up with blackbirds, probably
picking off the taffy.
Finley residents never fail to grasp
the opportunity to Tighten labor and

it is easier to milk that way and the

By the experts in the department OF

prepared by adding 20 the flour from

ration IS poisonous TO humans a. well
as 20 Insects and should be handled
with great care.
Another remedy suggested is pyre-

silverfish. Frequent handling and
