Discuss Highway Matters
for Eastern Washington

The Eastern Washington Highway
Association will meet in Spokane to-
day. Plans will be laid for the road
program for the east side for the
next two years, and there will be dis
cussion of plans for future road de-
velopment after the present system
is complete.
Ever since the state road system
was inaugurated, which provided for
a system of primary highway de-
velopment, there have been objectors.
At times it has seemed that the OBJ
jections would upset the plan. Yet
the original plan has been steadfast-
ly followed, until now the primary
system is almost completed through
out the state.
On the Inland Empire highway,
which runs from north to south
through eastern Washington, the
greatest break is between Colville
and the British Columbia line at
Laurier.
In the secondary system, there are
two roads which interest Stevens
county-No. % from Meyers Falls to
Davenport, and the Pend Oreille
county road from Newport north to
connect with Nelson. Whether these
roads will be built-or when-must
be determined by the legislature.
The completion of the two roads
in Stevens county would mean the
adding of much taxable value OF
property to the tax rolls. The pres
ent roads are poor, and freight traffic
over them is expensive. With good
highways, there are thousands OF
acres of land in Stevens county,
which would be increased in value,
the lands being productive, but the
roads being unsuitable for trucking
of products.

NEWSPAPER ITEMS
THIRTY YEARS AGO
From the Colville Republican (E. l..
Jameson. editor) 80 years ago today

Though the county seat has been
awarded by the county commissioners
as a result of the election last week,
the contest is not yet over. Neither
Kettle Falls nor Springdale had the
requisite number of signers to en-
title them to enter the competition.
Kettle Falls also filed the petition
too late, and has not three-fourths
Of the vote as prescribed by law.
The matter will undoubtedly be con-
tested in the courts either by Che
welah or Colville.
The action of the county commits
sioners is rather difficult to under
stand, in the face of the statute re-
quiring three-fifths of all votes cast
on the proposition. Of the 1896
votes cast, Kettle Falls received 500.
John Hickey and Harry Young, in
behalf of the citizens of Colville and
in. their own behalf, caused a re-
straining order to be served upon

Twenty Pupils in the
Nutrition Class Work

Ten parents were present at the
nutrition class which was held at the
grammar school on Tuesday. This
shows a decided growth in interest
as regards the work of last year.
Only 20 pupils have been invited to
join the class and only one class will
be run this year owing to shortage
of workers. All underweight chill
dren are re-weighed each month how
ever, and the good health program
is kept constantly in mind. The fol-
lowing ladies are in charge of the
weighing and tag system: Mrs.
Emma Aspend, Mrs. L. HARRISON and
