YAKIMA. WHITE BLUFFS
ROAD Being IMPROVED

Taking advantage of the moisture
in the ground and the mild weather,
Yakima county is making some de-
cided improvements in the Yakima
White Bluffs road The stretch be-
tween the old Nabour place west for
a distance of seven or eight miles is
like boulevard. This stretch has
been graded and floated and many
of the humnocks taken off and low
places filled. The soil there is a vol
canic ash and when damp as now,
packs solidly with little travel. The
road crew is now working on the four
mile stretch just west of the Barrel
Springs hill. This piece of road had
been partly graded but had never
been completed. Culverts of tile are
being put in the draws, fills made,
and the road graded and floated. The
crew expects to have this four miles
completed and ready for travel in
aobut two weeks if the weather per-
mits.
While the weather remains mild
and the soil moist, Yakima County
expects to keep crew busy on this
road cutting down the high places
and filling the low ones and putting
it in shape for surfacing. 1t is not
thought that much gravel will be put
on this winter as the roadbed should
be allowed to settle with travel for
year before this is done. But if
Yakima County will do next summer
what they did this summer, keep a
truck and two men busy filling the
chuck holes with gravel as they show
up, the road will be kept in good con-
dition until the surfacing is done next
fall.
County Commissioner McNulty of
this district in Benton county has
promised to use the road and bridge
fund on this road, beginning at the
Barrel Springs hill and working east
as far as the fund will carry the i'm
provement. If the road from the west
line of Benton county to the top Of
the hill at the Chef MCGEE place
were improved, all of the worst part
would be taken care of, for from that
point east the road never gets very
bad. Even in the condition the Yak
ina road is in now, one can easily
make the trip from White Bluffs in
a Ford in two and half hours and
the larger cars in less time.

FIND MAN DROWNED

The body of John Immeker, aged
about 40, Of Wahluke. was found
Friday forenoon by Gabriel Jad-
dan and W. H. Crawford, lying on
the bottom of the Columbia river
in the shallow channel near the
VIM. Coulson place.
How 1nmeker met his death is
mystery. On Thursday he left
the Jaddan place up the river with
raft of river wood that he and
Mr.. Jaddan had gathered for Joe
Schuster. He had intended to tie
the raft up when he reached Wah-
luke that evening and on this, Fri
day, morning he and Mr.. Jaddan
were to bl ing the raft to White
Bluffs. When MIR. Jaddan reached
Wahluke, he found the raft anch-
ored on the point of the island op-
posite that place. He and Mr..
Crawford rowed out to the raft
and failing to find any trace of I'm
meker. had started down the river
with the raft when they saw the
body on the bottom of the river.
Sheriff James Shepherd was no.
titled and he arrived shortly after
noon with the coroner and took
charge of the body.
Mr.. Immeker had a homestead
up the river from Wahluke. His
parents reside at Mckee.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-
Anticipating many wonderful de-
velopments in radio during the near
future, Captain Ridley Mclean. Di-
rector OF Naval Communications,
has directed a letter to all Naval
radio stations urging that present
equipment be maintained to the
highest efficiency with the lowest
amount of interference.
There are at present numerous
commercial high frequency trans
oceanic radio stations in operation
on each coast and the number of
these stations is constantly increas-
ing" says Captain Mclean. THE
reliable ranges attained by these sta
tons at night are very great.
This, tagether with what IS be-
lieved will be the first attempt to
transmit motion pictures by radio
in the near future and with first
report this week of long distance

ton in the PHILIPPINES, impresses

ties Of modern radio accomplish
ment.
with the very extensive radio in
stallation OF the Navy and the
limited funds available for modern
ization. the general installation OF
improved apparatus is necessarily
subject to vexing delays. In the
meantime, the personnel must be re-
lied upon the maintain its present
apparatus ashore and a float in the
maximum state OF efficiency"
