MOST POWERFUL
 A|RPLANE MOTOR
 IS NOW COMPLETE
Packard's New Engine De- velops 600 Horse Power and Two Hundred
 Miles Per Hour

Detroit, July 17.-A new 500-6o0 horse power airplane engine, the most power ful ever built in this country and the most powerful in the world except for a few racing freaks, has been completed by the Packard Motor Car Company It is expected to develop speeds far greater than anything yet achieved In addition it is fireproof, and it can be started "cold" after a long dive thus ending two of the greatest dangers that aviators have had to face.
 This announcement was authorized to- day by Col. Jesse G. Vincent designer of the engine, who is known as one of is now vice-preseident of engineering for Packard
 The new engine, in spite of it's great power, is no freak. It is intended for steady, longtime service either for heavy duty or for great speed, and is designed for American quality produc- tion methods. While the men who are handling the new engine expect that it will push a plane at least 200 miles an hour, the engine was not designed for this purpose alone and is capable of wide and general use. It weighs only 1.94 pounds per horsepower
 SEVERAL NOTABLE ADVANCES
 The lessons which Colonel Vincent learned during the war in his study of .t..e actual performance of the Liberty motor, well as of the best makes from both allied and enemy countries, are em- bodied in this design, and as a result there are several notable advances.
 Most important is that the motor is fire-proof for all civil purposes. This has been attained by putting the car

provement of High street has been
an imperative need for many years,
the street having been impossible
for automobiles at certain seasons
of the year.
While no definite specifications
have yet been prepared for the i'm
provement, it is probable that High
street from Main to the top of the
hill, will be improved with hill-climb-
ing brick pavement while the bal
ance of the district will probably be
made bituminous macadam.

FARMERS PROTEST
DUMPING GROUND
Say CarcasSeS of Dead Animals Are
Left Uncovered and that Other
Unsanitary and Unsightly
Conditions Exist

Strenuous objection to the condi-
ton of the city dumping ground
near the mooted septic tank, was
registered with the city council Tues
day night by a number of residents
of the northwest of Pullman district,
who filed petition with the city
fathers asking that steps be taken
at once to remedy the situation. The
petition was referred to the commit
tee on city improvements and sani-
tation with instructions to investi-
gate the possibility of securing a
more secluded dumping ground.
In their petition to the council the
signers said, in part:
when the high water comes in
the spring a portion of the land over
flows and large quantities of cans
and junk come down the river and
lodge on the adjoining land. The
carcasses of dead animals are fire.

makes it unbearable for those living
in the vicinity, and we respectfully
ask and request that something be
done to remedy the situation"
Following closely upon the suit
field by ]. X Smawley against the
city for $4,000 for damages to his
property because of the alleged un-
sanitary condition of the septic tank
itself, the petition has created much
local interest, with public sentiment
favoring a general cleanup in the
district referred to in the petition

ROAD BONDS CARRY
At SPECIAL ELECTION
Vote Is 100 to ~ i'm Favor of Bond
Issue of $4,000 for Improve
ment of Road to North
Limits

The city OF Pullman will issue mu-
nicipal bonds in the amount of $15,-
600 to improve the road leading to
the north city limits, the special cleo
tion held Tuesday for the purpose of
voting on the question having result
ed in a vote OF 100 to 26 in favor OF
the bond issue. The unusually light
vote was the result OF the failure of
the big majority of Pullmans citi-
zens to qualify for the election by
registering at the office of the city
clerk. An entirely new road will be
graded over the greater part of the
route, the new highway to run west
of the N. p. tracks the entire dis
lance, thus eliminating two danger
GUS railroad crossings.
In Precinct II a total of 35 votes
was cast, of which "a were favorable
to the bond issue and IL opposed.
Forty-two votes were cast in Pre-
cinct 81, with SO for and six against.
Thirty-two voters in Precinct ga ia
vored the bond issue, while only
three opposed, and in Precinct ~
the vote was eight to six in favor of
the bonds
The city will proceed with the i'm
proyement of the highway, which
connects with the east branch of The
Inland Empire highway, as soon as
possible and will rush the work to
completion before the heavy hauling
season. \

CITIZENS OBJECT TO
ACTION OF POLICE
Claim Prosecutions for Trivial Auto
mobile Offenses Should be Mod
ified--FaYOr First Notice"
Plan

Criticism OF the action of local
police officials in arresting alleged
violators OF the city automobile or
dinances on trivial charges and as
sessing heavy fines was raised Tues
DAY at the chamber of commerce
meeting by number of prominent
citizens. Complaint was made that
one farmer had been arrested for
parking his automobile within 20
feet of city hydrant when the by
drant was completely hidden by
telegraph pole and when the ordin-
ance had not previously been closely
observed. One business man sug-
gested that large chalk marks be
placed on the pavement near the
hydrants to indicate the forbidden
zone
Objection to the alleged pernicious
prosecution of automobile owners for
offenses which showed no intent to
disobey the laws has become quite
general and many citizens favor fol-
lowing the Spokane plan OF giving
the alleged yiolator first offense"
notice before filming him for these
lesser violations.

COUNTRY AND CITY
MUST COOPERATE
Aaron Sapiro Discusses Cooperation
Before Chamber of Commerce
Cites Fresno, California, as
Example

The Washington Wheat Growers
association and what it means to the
community was discussed before the
chamber of commerce Tuesday By
Aaron Sapiro, legal advisor for the
association. The association is not
only movement in the interests OF
the farmer, said MIR Sapiro, but in
the interests of the community as
we'll He outlined the activities of
the California Associated Rasin
company, and related that through
the work of this and other co-opera-
tive marketing organizations the
town of Fresno has been elevated in
the past nine years from town sui
fering from business stagnation to
the most prosperous small city in
the world,
Get the city builders and the
country builders together he said,
and you have organized community
builders, with increased prosperity
for all a certainty" Mr. Sapiro
stated that when the California Rails
in association was organized in 1911
the raisin growers were receiving one
and one-half cents per pound for
their product and the market would
not handle the entire output The
following year the price advanced to
four cents per pound. through the
activities OF the association, and to-
day the association is marketing sew
eral times over the amount raised
III 1911 with demands for even more
The raisin growers have become
prosperous and the community, in
Guiding Fresno and other smaller
towns in the district, il enjoy
ing like prosperity. This success
was only made possible through the
cooperation of the business men,
the bankers, the newspapers and the
farmers themselves. This same CO
operation, according to Mr.. Sapiro,
is necessary to insure the success OF
the Washington Wheat Growers as
ISOLATION, which means as much to
the city man as TO the farmer him

man and keeps the money all at

Joseph Passonneau, state direct

and stated that he had carefully stud
led the new plan from every possible
angle, and was convinced that it was
worthy OF support and would great
ly benefit the wheat growers. j. S.

marked that the best endorsement he
could give the plan was that he had
signed up his wheat with the associa-
ton for six years and had advised his
son and son-in-law to sign up theirs.
He said that if this plan is not put
IN operation he intends to become
grain speculator, for he has found
that he could make more money in
buying and selling wheat than he
could by raising it.

ENLARGED DISTRICT WILL BE
CREATED FOR PAVING OF
HIGH, PARADISE, DEXTER,
SIDE, HILL, SOUTH, JACKSON
AND SPRING STREETS

Seventeen blocks OF highway on
Methodist hill will be improved with
paving by the city this year At it's
meeting Tuesday evening the city
council adopted d resolution declar-
ing its intention to pave parts of
High, Paradise, Dexter, Side, Hill,
South, Jackson and Spring streets,
and set Tuesday, April 6, as the date
for the public hearing on the resolu-
ton. The resolution by the council
followed the presentation of a petit
ton signed by the owners of over
80 per cent of the property abutting
the streets proposed to be improved.
The district to be paved includes
approximately 1000 running feet,
or II blocks, described as follows;
Paradise street. from the west
property line of Alder street to the
east property line of Grand street;
High street, from the south line Of
Main street to the south city limits;
Dexter street from the east line of
High street to its intersection with
street to the intersection of South
street; South street, from Side street
to the intersection Of Hin street;
| Hill street, from South street to the
| intersection OF Jackson street; Jack
son street, from Hill street to irs
intersection with Spring street;
/ Spring street, from Jackson street
| to the edge of the paving on Daniel
| street Beginning on Spring street
where il intersects the alley through
block %. Original Town, thence
west along said alley through blocks
%, "a and %. and across lot 4,
block ., Original Town, to the east
line of High street.
The improvement will be made
under the enlarged district plan,
under which all the property owners
who derive benefit from the improve
ment. whether their property abuts
the paving or not, will be assessed
their proportionate part of the cost
| of the improvement. The largely
signed petitions by the property
owners asking for the improvement
preclude the possibility of the fail
ure of the movement through pro-
1 test by other owners, and the paving
appears OF be a certainty. The pro-
! test OF IS per cent of the property
owners would now be necessary 10
defeat the paving.
The petitions were signed by prop
erty owners representing 1898 run
! ming feet of frontage of the approx
mated II, 900 feet to be paved. Oh
the frontage not represented on the
petitions 1865 feet, or over one-half,
! is owned by non-residents, with >
of the nonresident tracts classed as
income properties.
When Pullman's paving program
was interrupted by the war three
years ago, 100 blocks had been i'm
proved and the completion of the
Methodist hill project will increase
this to 1913 blocks or six and one
half miles of paving within the city
