TO START SOON in COUNTY

Vice President C. o. Dierdorff and
Secretary Holbein Of the North Da-
kota division of the Wonderland Trail
association will make tour Of the
Trail in Ward county next week to see
trail in the best possible condition.
Each county has vice president, the
duty Of whom it is to 60 over the trail
at regular intervals during the season
and mark bad pieces of road, get the
township officers and town officials
along the trail interested in making
needed changes and repairs, much as
the roadmaster of railway does. By
going over the route frequently en-
thusiasm is bound to be created, with
the result that all parts of the trail
will be improved permanently.
The trail in Ward county starts in
at the east end one mile west Of Nor
witch. The town through which the
trail passes in this county are Surrey
Minot, Burlington, Des Laos, Lone
Tree, Berthold and ending one mile
east of Tagus.
It is the intention of the Wonder.
land Trail boosters to have each coun-
ty looked after the same as Ware
county will be looked after, and there
is no good reason why this trail viii
not become one Of the most popular
trails for motor tourists in the whole
northwest.
| Mr.. Dierdorff is an enthusiastic goot
roads man and he will do his full share
to see to it that Ward county will no
take back seat among the nine coun
ties in North Dakota through which
the trail passes.

COUNTY MAY GET
NEW ARMY CAMP
ENGINEER ORDERED TO INSPECT
SITE BETWEEN OLYMPIA
AND TENINO.

Another big army training camp
may be located in the Northwest, on
the prairies between Olympia and
Tenino. probably in the neighborhood
where the Milwaukee crosses the Pt-
Defiance line, it became known this
week when Major Richard Parks Of
the engineer corps was assigned by
the commander Of the western de-
partment, at San Francisco, to in
spect the site.
The first intimation local people
had that the war department was
considering Thurston county site
as the location for another training
camp came in news dispatches telling
of the order to Major Parks to make
the examination. The Chamber OF
Commerce has since been getting In
touch with army officials, tos be able
to offer whatever assistance and in
formation may be desired.
Major Parks will also inspect sites
at Hackstaff, CAL; Reno and Tobar,
New; Boise, Idaho; Umatilla and
Warm Springs, Ore.
The prairies of Thurston county
offer several fine sites for training
camp, all easily accessible TO main
line railroads, but the one consid-
cred most likely is that in the neigh
borhood of the crossing of the Mil
waukee and PIT. Defiance lines, about
half way between Olympia and Tenino.
Some years ago national guard ma
neuvers were held on thei prairies
near Gate and regular army officers
later recommended that site as To-
cation for an army post, prior to the
decision to establish the big canton
ment at American Lake. This site
may again figure in the army's plans,
though the dispatches this week
mentioned only the site between
Olympia and Tenino. ft"

Click, 10 years old, was accidentally
shot by his step-brother, Joe Whip

Chambers Prairie, dying a little
while later from the effects of the
wound. The funeral took place at
the Jesse T. Mills chapel Tuesday
morning, Rev. E. Hopkins of Tum-
water officiating.
Young Whipple was heartbroken
and almost distracted over the acci-
dent and Coroner Jesse T. Mills,
called to the home at the time of the
sad agair, reported no official inves-
tigation was necessary, as it was
clearly an accident.
The boys were chums and always
played together. While watching
the stock Sunday afternoon in the
pasture near their home. they started
playing tag. Each took turns carry
ing .22 calibre rifle they had and,
while Whipple had the gun and was
playfully chasing Click, the trigger
became caught in some manner and
the gun was discharged, the bullet
penetrating Clicks abdomen He
died 40 minutes later.
