new ROADS TO INCREASE
TRAVEL THROUGH VALLEY

The contracts have recently been
made for the building Of two roads
that will have a tendency to mater
tally increase the travel through
this valley. The Adams county
commissioners have let the contract
and the work is reported to have
already been started, for graveling
the road between Othello and Gun
nlngham. connecting Othello with
the Yellowstone trail to Spokane.
This will probably mean that GER
tain percentage of the travel will
come through here by way Of
Othello. particularly those travellers
seeking a short route to the Coast,
but who want to go through Yak
ina.
The other contract. let by the
Benton county commissioners Mon
day was for graveling six miles of
the road between Kennewick and
Plymouth, on the Columbia river.
This issanother link in the north
and south route through the state
and down the Columbia river that
is heing boosted as an all year
around route to the Coast and that
is expected to be much used when
Snoqualmie Pass is closed by snow.
