BRIDGES AND ROADS s.
PLANNED BY BOARD
New Bridge to be Built at Kiona
and Possibility of New One
Between Here and Richland

At their regular meeting last week
the county commissioners started the
ball rolling toward rather extensive
road ard bridge work in the county.
After considering a report from
County Engineer Wright to the ef-
feet that the Kiona bridge across the
Yakima is unsafe, they declared that
an emergency exists and voted lo
pay for a new bridge out Of the 1917
general road and bridge fund. Bids
for tearing down The old bridge and
replacing it with new one have been
called for June 20.
It is not improbable that the board
will take steps to build new bridge
between here and Richland. The at
tention of the board was called to the
fact that the present structure is in
sufficient to carry the excessive traffic
between the two towns and the county
engineer and a competent bridge man
were ordered to inspect the bridge and
report to the board. 1t is understood
that if q new bridge is built the old
one will be moved to crossing near
the Gordon Moores ranch.
The board allowed A. H. Zane
$6,516 for extra work on permanent
highway No. 5-between Benton City
and Biggam. This was payment for
work ordered by the board and county
engineer in addition to that contem-
plated by the original plans and spec
ifications adopted by the commission
ers and the state highway department.
A preliminary resolution was pass
ed declaring the boards intention of
using all monies available in the per-
manent highway fund to build road
from Hanford to Richland.

STOCKYARDS ARE A
SURE GO SAYS PRATT
Company Puts up More Money
and Acquires Title to One
Tract in Proposed Site

"There is not shadow of doubt
in my mind but that large union
stockyards will be built in Kennewick
along the general plans which were
made public several weeks ago." said
R. E. Pratt, when asked for some
stockyard news. "The only deviation
from the original plans will be q lit
tie delay in getting started which has
been occasioned by negotiations be-
tween the leading packers of the
Northwest and the railroad companies.
"The stockyards company recently
advanced another substantial sum of
money to extend options on several
tracts of land included in the propos-
ed site of so acres and purchased
outright one tract of SA acres which
gives them title to 131s acres.
"There has been no intimation on
the part of the incorporators of the
company that they have any plans
other than to build the yards. In fact
some of the largest and most influen-
tial interests in the Northwest who at
first showed rather an Indifference
to the project when it was first
launched, have not only become fl
nancially interested in the enterprise
but enthusiastic over the possibilities.
AS see it the proposition has reach
ed stage where it is sure 60"

Representatives from All Parts
of State Requested to Attend
Conference Next Month

The Kennewick Commercial club
has been requested by Governor Lis
ter to send three delegates to water
code conference to be held in Tacoma
next month. At the regular meeting
Tuesday evening the club took the
view that the conference would un-
donbtedly be of vital Importance to
this section of the state but instead
of naming three delegates it instruc-
ted the secretary to write Assistant
Attorney General Scott z. Henderson
and request that he represent the
club at the Tacoma meeting.

outlined in the governors letter as
follows:
For a number of years attempts
have been made to enact into law in
this state water code. Some years
ago commission consisting of fifteen
citizens of the state interested in and
well informed upon the needs of the
state in this direction was appointed
by the then chief executive of the
state to formulate a water code for
presentation to the legislature. The
commission made its report and SUBJ
mitted a draft of bill which was
presented to the legislature but failed
to pass. At the succeeding session
of the legislature the bill was intro
duced but again failed to secure the
necessary number of votes to enact it
into law.
It has been suggested by a number
of persons who are interested in the
matter, and who feel that there will
be brought about more rapid develop
ment in the state If a water code be
adopted, that conference be held in
Tacoma on Tuesday and Wednesday,
July IL and IL, at which time repre-
sentatives Of irrigation interests, hy-
dro-electric power interests, engineer
ing societies, transcontinental rail-
roads, trades and labor councils and
miscellaneous state organizations, ga
ther together for the purpose of dis
cussing this important question and
endeavor to decide upon a bill that
will meet general approval so that
it may be presented at the next ses-
sion of the legislature for considera-
alton.
Feeling the Importance Of this mat
ter, have consented to write as many
Of those interested in the subject as
possible, urging their attendance at
this meeting, and sincerely hope that
your organization will appoint three
delegates to attend the meeting.
A committee consisting Of Honor
able Carroll B. Graves, Mr.. Joseph ia
cobs and Mr.. L. M. Rice, Of Seattle.
has. been appointed to arrange for 9
meeting place at Tacoma and under.
take such other duties as may be re-
quired to secure a representative at

MOTOR MANIALEADS TO
TAKING OF AUTO THIEF
Philadelphia, Escaping From
Jail, Caught Again After TAX
ing Joy Ride

PoTTSvILLB. Pa, Aug. 4-EEs mania
for automobiles led TO the capture Of Allen

Wagner, Of Temaqua, escaped from the

But as Edward grew older his gang. OF
which he was leader, grew more rlotous. His
violent temper, plus his crutch. wrought
more damage than even the kind-hearted
could endure. So Edward eventually found
himself In the House Of Detention.
II guess 1 was plumb discouraged" is the
way Edward accounts for his spasm of
temper and madness that came over him
that day II kinder didn't know what was
going to happen to me-
But Edward objected so strenuously to
being sent to an institution that the Judge
decided to let him stay for n few weeks in
the quarters for children at the House of
Detention. And though Edward gave n
home for negro boys n weeks trial, 1t was
found better by both Edward and the fac
ulty of the home to bring him back to
Twenty-second and Arch streets.
In a short time Edward became accli-
mated to his new home. Truthfully, there
are still tales, almost forgotten, of the
danger one ran in being close to Edward
when that terrible temper broke out For
tunately for many who bear no scars from
these occasions, Edwards aim was very
bad. But any one who tells those stories
today is looked on as an embryo teller of
successful fiction.
A bootblack stand and outfit were given
to Edward and from that time on the re-
sponsibiity of property sobered the boy.
He felt he had stake in the world and
he couldn't afford to jeopardlze 1t.
Every morning that the court was In
session." said Judge MacNeille. Edward
came to my room to shine my Shoes Then
he would tell me how that temper of his

was getting along. I'd tell him that when
he could control his temper / would know
he was going to be the man l expected him
to become. And today 1 think Edward a fine
young boy"
How the brown and white goat came to
Edward is still another story. One day he
told a friend In the house that he wanted
to buy an express wagon. After that was
acquired he decided to buy harness, then
blanket. then whip, and lastly the goat.
The first day the goat was Edwards was
a gala day at the House of Detention
Edward drove the goat and wagon through
the corridor OF the house. He offered him
bread and milk, but Edward says the goat
declined the fare. To provide lodging
house for his new friend Edward appealed
to the other members of his family.
A petition was sent to Judge Charles L.
Brown for permission to use his untenanted
stable on the property of the Magdalen
Home The petition was granted and the
goat. as yet unnamed, housed
Buster. the dog of the house. has not quite
adjusted his feelings to second place in Ed
wards affections. There is n story that
when Buster for the second time had been
captured by the dog catcher and the powers
that be at the House of Detention demurred
at paying the fine, Edward dug down into
the nicRels and dimes accumulated by much
shining OF shoes and offered to pay the
amount necessary to bring Buster back
home again.
When told how proud Judge MacNellle
Is of his progress since guest at the House,
Edward grinned sweetly and said:
"Ain't just proud of him, too I'd
surely feel bad II he ever had to 60"
