SEES POSSIBILITY OF
COMPLETING HIGHWAY
Between State Highway
Commissioner and County Heads
viii Make Possible Compile
ton of Eastern Division

That close cooperation between
the state highway commissioner and
the commissioners of Whitman coun-
ty will make possible the compile
ton of the Eastern division OF the
Inland Empire highway during the
next two years is the opinion of
County Commissioner j B. Sanborn.
The recent legislature appropriated
s135, 900 for the grading of the high,
way between Garfield and Pullman.
via Palouse. A contract was let last
week for the grading of that part Of
the highway between Garfield and
Palouse, the contract price, including
the construction of one bridge, being
$4,000, and leaving approximately
$4,000 yet available. A proposed
second bridge on the Garfield-Pa-
louise part of the road can be elimi-
mated from consideration for three
or four years without seriously i'm
pairing the road program, according
to Commissioner Sanborn. and the
entire remaining balance of the
$4,000 fund made available for the
13-mile Stretch of the highway be-
tween Palouse and Pullman. Esti-
mating the grading cost at approx
mately $4,000 per mile only a small
deficiency would remain.
The surfacing of the entire 81
mile highway might be done with
permanent highway funds, according
to Commissioner SanbOrn, with %
per cent assessed against the abut-
ting property. The surfacing cost
would approximate $1,000 per mile.
The plans for completing the work
suggested by the Pullman commits
Soner is meeting with a ready re-
sponse locally and the chamber Of
commerce will request endorsement
OF the plan by commercial organiza-
tons in other interested towns. with
view to enlisting the cooperation of
the highway engineer. With the ex-
penditure of practically two-thirds Of
the available appropriation on the
other end of the highway Pullman
citizens had almost given up hope
OF the early completion of the Pull
man-Palouse road but it is believed
. mat Commissioner Sanborh's plan
opens up highly possible avenue
'ior the Improvement within the next
two years.
There is a possibility that the
ruilman- Moscow road may be COM
pleted next year" said Mr.. SanbCrn
IN discussing road matters, but | am
convinced that the Eastern division
ol The Inland Empire highway should
nave first consideration see no
reason why the road from Garfield
10 Pullman can not be completed
lms year and next if the state high
way commissioner will cooperate

their program for road construc-
ton"

RAILWAY CONNECTIONS
REDUCE FREIGHT RATES
shorter Hauis, Eastern Washington
to Puget Sound, Would Result
From Establishment of Gate
ways for Interchange
of Freight

Plans of the newly organized
Growers & Shippers Traffic bureau
for affecting shorter freight hauls
between Eastern Washington and
Puget Sound points, with a view to
securing reduced freight rates, were
outlined before the Pullman cham
Der of commerce Tuesday by Arthur
a. Lewis of Spokane, formerly
member Of the state public service
commission and now head of the or
ganizatlon named above. The boost
er body endorsed the program out
lined by Mr.. Lewis and unanimously
voted its support to the movement,
naming Il committee OF five to assist
in gathering data and presenting the
case to the department of public
works
The bureau, which includes as
members shipping concerns and COM
mercal organizations throughout
Eastern Washington, hopes to So
cure through complaint filed with
the new department Of public works.
physical connections between the
railroads of the state at certain gate
ways for the purpose OF routing
freight the shortest possible way.
The proposed gateway which would
prove most beneficial to the people
of this district was mentioned by Mr..
Lewis as the intersection of the
Northern Pacific, the Chicago, Nil
waukce and St Paul, and the Infant
Empire railroad at Rosalia The in
! terchange of freight between the
three roads at this point would wean
the saving of a distance of 10 miles
over the present Northern Pacific
| haul The establishment of physical
| connection and freight interchange
at Marengo, between the OW. R. e
~ and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
! Paul would reduce the mileage from
40 miles over the O.-W r. & n,
line to 344 over the two lines.
With the opening of the several
proposed gateways for freight inter
change it is believed that th2 state
commission would grant a new
freight rate, based on the shorter
haul. and that the saving in freight
on wheat to Puget Sound points
would reach three or four cents per
bushel, with proportl3nate reduc-
ton in rates on shipments of mer-
candise from Coast points to the In
land Empire.
As head Of the Growers & Shippers
Traffic bureau Mr. Lewis is attempt
ing to organize the various Interests
Of Eastern Washington TO secure
data for the filing Of an intervening
complaint and TO assist in carrying
out the program necessary to secure
favorable action
The complaint to be filed will cite
possibilities for substantial mileage
savings through physical connections
between two or more railroads at
Tekoa Rosalia, Marengo, Lind. War
den, Mccall Adrian and Ellonsburg.
The chamber OF commerce has APP
pointed a committee including d. F.
Staley, r. V Carpenter and b. II.
Douglass to secure local data on the
subject and to work in cooperation
with Mr. Lewis and the other or

Finally Told True Story
She must have known of the mur-
der. but mere knowledge of IL is not
enough to convict her. After Trcadway
had been picked up on the streets of
Wheeling by detectives and questioned
in the room adjoining the ono this girl
was in. she heard what was said; then
the detectives questioned her. OF course
she told the identical story. Then
TreadWay later told other stories. ShC
couldn't keep up with him. She writes
this note with lip stick to Trcadwny
in magazine. telling him to stick Ia
his story. Then later when she was
freed from his communicating influence
she told the true story. The common .
wealth was so glad to get it they used
her true story to convict two others.
