the six mile gap on the Olympic and

In the paving contracts were 25.5i

1S-foot paving is being done at point,
where heavy obstacles have to be

FultZ is Governors Secretary.

H. B. Fultz, former secretary of
the Olympia Chamber of Commerce,
secretary of the Elks' state organiza-
ton and a newspaper correspondent,
has succeeded Carl Snuff, of Spokane,
as Gov. Louis F. Harris secretary.
Mr.. Snuff has been appointed super
visitor of reclamation by Director
Dan A. Scott of the Department Of
Conservation and Development.
As land settlement work falls in the
reclamation division it is likely most
Of Mr.. Shuff's time will be given to
this problem. Director Scott has
been establishing the departments
reclamation policy for the present BIZ
ornium. The Columbia Basin project
and all details affecting it are handled
by Director Scott and Supervisor
Fred Adams Of Spokane. An effort is
being made to determine whether a
Columbia river site for the proposed
storage dam can be found are under
way. Thus far results have not been
satisfactory.
Land settlement work is to be cX-
pcdited. Under the law if the depart
ment finds any state or federal lands
suitable for development and settle
mcnt they may be acquired and sold
tC applicants on the same longtime
payment plan that would be given if
privately developed lands were
bought. 1t may be possible to find
suitable state lands for settlement
work and if they are acquired cheap
enough the number of applicants who
can be settled on farms will be in
creased. In any event large amount
of detail work will be encountered.

made in the number of state employees
since the admins. rative code went IN
tc effect. The Department of Bust
ness Control has arranged for further
consultations of jobs and reductions
in the number of employees which viii
be effective soon and other depart
ments are working out similar plans.
In his analysis, Mr.. McArdlc took
Tic number of REGULARS" for his com
PARSONS. He did rot take up the
higher educational institutions where
there may be slight reductions next
fall to keep within legislative appro
priations and he pointed out that in
addition to the regular employees the
state hires great deal of seasonal
labor. For instance, on road work
about 1912 extras are now employed;
the forestry and fisheries departments
have special men at work and the de.
partment of agriculture will be o.
bliged to employee additional help for
the State Fair when it is ready to re
ceive exhibits. Such comparisons will
be made with similar periods in the
past.
At the beginning of July Mr.. Nc
Ardle found there were l414 regular
employees in the ten code departments
whereas the offices, bureaus, and COM
missions which the code officials sup
planted were employing 1888 persons
last March. The adiutant general al
SC cut his force one, now having %
persons regularly employed. Elective
officials increased their forces from Il
total of $50 to 1856, due largely to the
fact that the treasurer who now col
lects practically all money paid to the
state, has required l3 extra employees
to take over this additional work
Several elective officials have reduced
their force slightly.

Protection to Drivers.

Though there has been some COM
plant among automobile drivers
about the inconvenience of procuring
a license to drive, letters to Director
Fred Dibble and other state officials
point out the fact that the new law
offers protection against reckless an
irresponsible drivers.
Under the law the court in the case
OF driver who has violated the law
may take up his original license and
issue him a blue card after his first
conviction. For his second offense he
may be given a yellow card and for
his third conviction his license may be
suspended for a period of three
months during which time he would
be guilty of a gross misdemeanor for
driving car.
This feature of the new statute is
intended to keep those who endanger
life off the highways. Law-abidng
drivers need their individual license
to identify themselves if halted bv an
officer

STATE ADMINISTRATION NOTES
Joins Two Irrigation Projects.

On or before Sept. /, Engineers l.
Van f.. Goodner and Lars Langlceo, Of
the State Department of Conserve
tion and Development, will begin u
complete study of the proposed high
line canal from Lake Wenatchee 20
ilrigate both the new Wenatchee
project and the 10000 acres in tho
Quincy project that could not be re-
claimed under the Columbia Basin
plans 1t may also be possible to IL
rigate the Babcock hill district under
the proposed high line plan.
A much less expensive low line
ditch would water the new Wena.-
chez district, but if built it would
handicap the 10000 acres of the Quin-
cy district, SO Director Dan 4.
Scott induced officers of both pro-
jects to permit the state to make the
Investigations and if possible work
cut a plan whereby both districts can
be reclaimed, the Quincy district to
share the extra cost of the canal from
the Lake to point Of diversion, then
build the rest of the ditch itself.
Twenty years record of the water
in Lake Wenatchee is already avail
able. The state is pledged in under
taking the new studies to continue
these records.
