year the receipts from fines for vio-
lations of traffic laws has been $13,-
268. For last year up to June 1, the
total of money received for fines was
$1O,717.5O. The chief receipts were
during the months of January and
May. According to officials of the
State Highway Commission, the in
crease in the amount of fines, is due
to the larger number of state police
and the vigilance with which they
maintain the law.
One surprising feature and a most
commendable economic progression
is shown in the cost of maintenance
of highways. Last year it cost S67,-
O94 during the first five months OF
the year to keep the roads in good
repair. This year, although there are
60 more miles of highway to look
after, the maintenance cost is nearly
$4,000 less for this period of time,
the total being $64,22S, up to June 1.
This is due in a large measure to
the fact that State Engineer G. D.
Buck, early in 1926, endeavored TO
try to cut down the amount of money
for highway maintenance and he has
succeeded far beyond his or his
friends expectations.
The bids for new roads received
by the State Highway Commission
the past week, for about miles OF
roadbed, showed the keen competi-
| ton between contractors seeking the
work. Although the cost of materials
and labor are about the same this
year as last, the bids were b1'
lower than last year. Labor-savins
machinery is credited with this saw
ing.

began to build it's, highways, practi
cally all of the contractors -cam'

a blessing. Too often women put
their babies out for fresh air and

have to go to the park and so get
the benefit of the fresh air yourself.

FREEDOM THROUGH
OBEDIENCE
Nelia Gardner White

Earliest childhood is none too soon
for us to start building for our chill
dren's later freedom. 1t is necessary
for everyone to be Obedient to the
ordinary demands of living, neces-
sary that this obedience be autOma-
tic as mature years come, that the
mind may be free to grow unhamp-
cred. Obedience is the bugbear of
many a motherS ) not gained early, it
daily seems more difficult for the
mother to secure and the child to
attain.
One of the chief reasons for dis
obedience is the expectation of dis
obedience and this is one of the cas-
! lest habits to form. Coming in from
play, going to bed, eating all that's
on the plate, washing the hands, CIV
/ ing up playthings to Others-isn't it
true that most people expect chill
dren to find these things disagree
able? Do they not expect the little
ones to object to them rather than
to give a prompt, Obedient response?
Don't mothers, unconsciously per-
haps, prepare to meet objections be-
fore they are put into words? Don't
they often begin to coax before the
children have refused to do what
they desire? An expectation that a
thing will be performed often goes
a long, long way toward the per-
formance itself.
And then there is the don't" mo-
ther. Instead of John, please come
in" she says, John, don't think
I'd stay out any longer!" 1t makes
an unbelievable difference whether
or not we make our commands pos
tive.
Do we think, before we give a COM
mand, whether it's necessary? Do we
order sometimes just because we're
older and in a position to order!
Probably over half the commands
we give might better never have
been uttered-either because they
weren't necessary or because we
don't see that they are obeyed, once
| given. There are often occasions
when we become annoyed by the in
evitable confusion of play. We say
i Don't do this!" and, Don't d(
that!" until half the joy is squeezed
out of the play. And the noise or thu

OIL ON ROADS
WILL BETRIED
State to Conduct Test on
Highways - Oregon
Has Success

Though the state highway de-
partment, within month or so,
will complete the improvement of
four miles of macadam road north
of Spokane and ten miles south Of
that city by the Oregon oiling pro-
cess, the results of the experiment
in this state will not be relied up
on for recommendations to the
next legislature. The roads in the
vicinity of Spokane will carry a
heavier traffic than any of those
treated in Oregon. However, they
will not have been used long
enough, by the end of the year, to
indicate the degree of permanancy
that can be expected by the inn
provement. Oregon, however, will
have statistics covering a much
longer period and the state high
way department will make use of
them.
Highway officials figure there
will be q demand for some treat
ment of the dust problem that the
next legislature cannot avoid. The
Spokane experiment indicates the
oil treatment will cost about 5000
per mile and it is estimated over
1000 miles of Washington road
will have to be included in what
ever campaign is waged to keeI
dust down. This work will have tx
be regarded as a part of construc
tion for it cannot be paid for ou'

AUTO PARK IS
ROBBED BLIND
Night Prowlers Relieve
Visitors of Coin and
Watches

Tuesday night, as Chief Of Po-
lice C. E. Duffy, proprietor of the
tourist park slept soundly, thieves
entered his grounds and relieved
his guests of all the worldly goods
their nimble figures could connect
with in the dark, making total
haul Of several watches and sew
eral hundred dollars in cash.
The unwelcomed visitors seemed
to be especially proficient in their
vocation, as they visited camp af-
ter camp without disturbing tire
sleepers. They were even so con-
siderate Of the tourists desire for
rest that they spent only what
time was necessary in each tent
to remove pair of trousers, the
pockets of which they emptied on
the outside, and then inconsider-
ately left this wearing apparel,
So much desired by modest men,
scattered about the park.
Mr.. Duffy believes these night
workers are probably the same
thieves that have robbed tourists
at the Yakima park, and at other
cities along the line. He finds their
system much the same and pointed
out that they pull their jobs on
windy nights when tents are flap
ping, and the sleeper is unlikely to
be aroused by slight disturbance.
He stated that it is very difficult
to capture these providers, as the
tents are placed on grass which
leaves no tracks and the only
chance Of clew would be in To-
eating the watches in case the
thieves attempt to dispose Of them.
He thinks this chance of a clew
very slight as there is no neces-
sity in this case to dispose of the
watches in this part of the coun-
try.

WATER OUT ON =
TWO
w e e d Situation Grows
Bad - Main Ditch to
Run Says Muldrow

1t will be necessary to make a
two-day turnout alternately on
the main laterals of Columbia r.
rigation district to cope with the
weed situation, states Manager
w. c. Muldrow. 1t is getting be-
yond control of the claiming meth
cd. Water will be cut out Of the
main lateral from Kennewick to
Hover Friday night, and will be
out Saturday and Sunday. Then it
will be turned back into that lat
eral and lateral two, from Kenne-
wick through the Hedges section,
will be dry two days. This will
give the crew an opportunity to
put the troublesome part of the
main canal in shape by claiming.
By this method it is believed
that it will be possible to avoid
any general turnout during the ex-
treme hot weather, probably until
the middle of August.
The next few weeks are the crit
ical ones in the irrigation of the
valley. All the water that can pos
sibly be furnished is needed by the
farmers. "Please tell the farmers
not to waste it." said Muldrow.
"Wherever anyone is so situated
that he doesn't need all the water
he is getting, it is his public duty
to cut down as low as possible and
let the balance go to those on
sandy places, who need all they
can get"
