PROBATION

A Scot once went to a dentist
with a toothache. The dentist
told him he would only get re
lief by having it out.
"Then l must have gas" said
the Scot.
While the dentist was getting
it ready the Scot began to count
his money.
The dentist said somewhat

the tooth is out"

The man at the barn directed
.uS to Docktou with whimsical
smile that ought to have warned
us for ! suspect now that he IN
tended to punish us good and
plenty for complaining of the
road to the barn yard, and we
went to Do1kton.
Our fraends of the ear have
driven up the mountain. They
come over the mountains from
Yakima every year, and have
climbed everything but telephone
poles with their car, but they
give the palm to the Dockton
road for mountain climbing.
They declare they have never
encountered such grades any
where as these. When We visit
Dockton again we will go by the
good old boat line, But the worst
Of our visit to Dockton was that
we We're obliged to return over
miles of the same road
We met the man of the barn
yard as We were returning. The
road was SO narrow we could
not pass, so we waited until he
turned his team into the purple
blossom field, but he rode by
with averted face, and we knew
he gave his off horse a satisfied
wink as he let us pass the back
Of his head.
1t seems to me there should
be sign boards at every road
crossing, and it wouldn't be a
bad idea to have signals also,
like weather signals, showing if
the road is good, fair or bad.
Such a road as that could be
marked by sharp zigzag lines
more or less vertical, so that
heavy cars and nervous people
could avoid it, | admit | nego-
tiated some of these zigzags on
foot, though I'm not specially
nervous.
We returned by Mr.. Kings
bury's "Stomping Ground" We
knew his place because the little
old fashioned buggy that he uses
when inspecting roads was in
The yard and his old gray was
grazing near.
The beach road from this place
to Portage is a fine drive way,
and there are few prettier ones
in scenic way. From Portage
to Burton is fine also, both as to
drive, way and scenery. The new
post Office at Burton is a credit
to the island, and Burton is
beautifully situated. From Bur
ton to Center, the road is as fine
as anyone could desire, but the
paved highway begins there and
4 spin along its new smooth way
reminded one of city pavements,
We soon turned off to go to
the west side which certainly is
the most prosperous looking part
of the two islands, as a whole.
Well kept homes, surrounded by
gardens and orchards, chickens
and children spell comfort, pros
perity and happiness, as nothing
else can. Hail to Cove and her
west side neighborS!
We should never fail to direct
our tourist friends to drive along
their scenic road. And there are
many other places to visit as in
teresting as these over our is
lands.
