mountain divisions by electricity has
proved a great success, and year or
more ago it was announced that the
electrification would be extended be-
yond Avery, but how far or where the
power would be available was not
stated.
Quite recently a new power company
has been organized at Spokane and the
Washington Water Power Co. has also
announced it had taken a large con-
tract for power. People in a position
to obtain reliable information have in
dicated their belief that the Milwaukee

would be used between Avery and

electrifcation of the road west from
Othello, the roads division point just

SCHOOLS TO REOPEN
MONDAY MORNING
There is Still Some Measles in
Community but Worst of the
Epidemic has Passed

Children will be admitted to Sunday
schools Sunday, the grade and high
schools will open Monday and the
measles quarantine, insofar as it APP
plies to public gatherings, will be
lifted.
Altho a number of new cases have
been reported during the week, Health
Officer Crosby says that on the whole
the situation is materially improved,
and that he does not believe the at
tendance at school will be greatly be-
low normal because of the epidemic.
The rule excluding school children who
have just recovered from the measles
or from families in which there are
cases of the measles, will still be en-
forced.
The doctor says that it is impossible
to lay down hard and fast rule de.

the peculiarities of each individual

more quickly than others, but the doc
tors say that to be safe in all cases 9

Chas. E. Gray, of the firm Of Gray q

pose of investigating possibilities for

Mr.. Gray's firm is the owner Of a

rendered profitless by the completion
of the Great Northern's branch line.
The steamer is small but well built

run between here and White Bluffs.

RICHLAND BRIDGE
IS TO- BE BUILT
Commissioners Enter Into New
Contract with Coast Con-
struction Company

The proposed new bridge across the
Yakima this side of Richland is to be
built. At meeting of the county
commissioners this week a new con-
tract was entered into with the Coast
Construction company for two Howe
Truss spans for $4,000. The contract
was modified in some of the details
but. In the main it is the same as the
former one.
Following the opinion of the at
iorney general to the effect that the
contract was illegal the board took the
matter up with representatives of The
company and ascertained that they
had already placed orders for their ma
terials and had incurred considerable
expense. The board was confronted
by the reports of three engineers, all
of whom agreed that the present
bridge is in an unsafe condition. In
view of these reports the board did
not deem it prudent to trust to luck
during another season of high water
and heavy traffic. All three commits.
sioners agreed that while the bridge
might stand up until fall it might g6
out of commission at any time, caus'
ing perhaps loss of life and entailine
heavy loss to farmers because OF In
terrupted traffic.
The new contract is made valid b!
the declaration of an emergency ant
calls for completion of the new struc
ture by April 1. The contractors als'
agreed to build the new bridge along
side the old one and to put it int
place without tieing up travel NOR
than two or three days.

BLAZE IN COURT
HOUSE AT NOON
Fire in Treasurer's and Engin-
eer's Offices Threatens Des-
tructiOn of Building

The building used by Benton county
as a court house almost went up in
smoke today during the noon hour.
The fire, the origin of which is mys-
terry, is thought to have started in the
rear of the treasurer's Office. Before
being extinguished the flames ate
their way thru the partition into the
rear of the engineers Office and the
ceiling under the sheriff's Office was
almost burned thru. Two streams OF
water were turned onto the blaze and
altho the interiors of the treasurer's
and engineers Offices were badly
drenched, it is thought no serious
damage was done to the records.
Sheriff Duffy and Fire Chief Macy
after examining the charred walls,
said they were at a loss to account for
the fire. So far as they were able to
determine the blaze started in cor
ner of the treasurer's Office 20 feet
from the stove and it could not have
originated from electrical wiring, as
there are no wires in this part of the
building.
The fire was first discovered by
passersby a few minutes after the
county offices had closed for the noon
hour and so far as is known there was
nobody in the building at the time.
Since the fire scare several weeks
