PAVING WORK
COMPLETED
Last of Cement Poured
Sunday-Not to Open
Until December 1

The last of the concrete on the
six miles of paving was poured
last Sunday morning. The outfit
has pulled out and the machinery
has been loaded and shipped to
Yakima.
With the completion of this strip
into town, Benton county now
boasts of about six and quarter
miles of paving, all of which is
included in this job. The road just
being completed, has required
some new grading, as the route
has been altered to allow for long
er curves, and the balance of the
distance from the paving to the
toll bridge will be graded and grav-
eled Immediately.
While the protective covering of
dirt is being removed from the
upper end of the concrete, the road
will not be opened to travel until
the first of December. By that
time the contractor will have fin
ished building the dirt shoulders
and the drainage bitches.

to Kennewick and Pasco.
Residents of Benton City this
week have noted the shipment and
hauling of two new drill rigs into
the Benton field. With the one big
rig being operated by the Walla
Walla company, these two addi-
tional rigs should make showing
of activity in the field.

CROW NOT so
GOOD AS DEER
Next to Pheasant Meat
We Prefer Venison-
Both are Donated

'sThere, that tastes some better
than that crow T. c. Browne has
been feeding you on recently,
doesn't it?" said John Weidle as
he served the editor with deli
cious venison steak last Sunday.
Mr.. Weidle lives on the Grosscup
ranch above Richland where he
has lots of hunting and he knows
about crows. John says that crow
meat isn't as black as one might
think, especially if it is properly
prepared and eaten under favor
able circumstances.
John isn't especially keen about
crows, however. His speciality is
deer. He takes a lot of pheasants
and ducks in the course of a year,
but his. enthusiasm runs all to
deer. He has just returned with
A. S. Murray, from the northern
part of the state where John bag
ged a hree-hundred-pound FIVE
point buck within an hour after
he made camp.
Friends of Mr.. Weidle are al
ways glad to get an invitation to
hunt with him. They know they
will have game to bring back with
when they do go. If the guest is
a poor shot John will chase a
couple of birds down to the river,
give 'em a good start and then
drop 'em. AS he explains ''when
they fall in the river they don't
get all bruised up" And you can't
imagine just how cold that Yaki-
ma river is at this time of year.
If anyone is really curious, let him
inquire of this offce-we know.

The statewide movement to re-

taken new impetus and the work
of enrolling workers thruout the
state is progressing at rapid
rate, the general committee in
charge of the movement announc-
ed this week thru the press.
AS the demand for the govern

of the governor, who last week an

are now preparing for flight to

ing yesterday. Governor Hartley
was summoned from Olympia. He
came to Seattle accompanied by

Mr.. Irving, after the two hours

Local Police Capture Man
in Act of Blowing
Strong Box
BELIEVE MAN is A
DANGEROUS YEGG
Pleads Guilty and Has
Started Serving His
Long Term

Geo. Baldwin was caught rob-
bing safe at the Wholesale Gro
cery warehouse Sunday night and
is now in the penitentiary at Walla
Walla. This is probably a record
for speed in the conviction and in
generation of a lawbreaker in this
part of the state.
Sunday night the burglar alarm
at the warehouse warned the po-
lice. A. E. Howe, the night man,
reused Chief Duffy and Deputy
Sheriff Chet McGee, and Walter
Lodge and Mr.. Zaremba, local
manager of the Grocery Co. Sur
rounding the warehouse the police
caught Baldwin as he was leaving
the building from an opened door
on the north side.
He was taken to Prosser Monday
morning. His hearing was held
Wednesday, he plead guilty and re-
ceived sentence of seven to fif-
teen years in the penitentiary,
where he was taken Immediately
and began serving his sentence.
The robber had blown off the
outer door of the safe with a
charge of nitroglycerine. The ex-
plosion had blown the inner door
in past the flanges. Work with g
chisel and an AK failed to pry this
inner door loose and the robber
had soaped up the cracks and
lplaced a charge of. the explosive
inside. The fuse and cap were in
place, ready to shoot when he was
interrupted. Police set off the
charge yesterday to get the doors
open.
A comparatively small amount
of money would have been stolen,
had the robber been successful,
only about sixty dollars being kept
there. But the months statements
and invoices were in the safe, to-
gether with large amount Of
money in the form of checks,
which of course, the robber would
not have taken.
Baldwin, before he was captur-
ed, had hidden a three-ounce bot
tie of nitroglycerine under bunch
of weeds. 1t was found by the po-.
lice Monday. His revolver, flash
light and burglar tools were all
located. He had keys of every shape
and style, together with fine steel
bars for forcing doors and picking
locks. A list Of safes and their
combinations was found upon him
that indicated that he had robbed
safes or intended to rob them, in
towns from st. Paul to the coast.
Police believe they have captured
one of the leaders in the profess
sion.
