ROAD WORK FOR THE

Municipal Crew Fixing Roads Thru
Town-May Have Walk
to the Bridge

Grading work on the river road
both up and down the river from
town has been receiving the atten-
ton of the city's road crew for the
past couple of weeks. Columbia boul-
eyard has been put in fair shape, to
connect up with the states new road
way from the city limits west which
will be paved this spring. The crew
is now at work on the approach to
the bridge east of town.
The street and alley committee was
instructed to make a survey OF the
latter road with the idea of install
ing a few more lights on this road
and the building Of a walk or a Gin
der path to the bridge.
The street near the Brown build.
ing will also be put into repair ano
brought up to grade as soon as the
crew can get to it. Under the direc.
ton of Street Commissioner Brue the
city's trucks and men have been busy
on road work nearly all winter.

CLASS ATTENDS
COUNCIL MEET
Pupils of H. S. Get Practical
Illustration of Admins
tration Of City Affairs

= (
Miss Bonner and her class in civics
attended the meeting of the city coun-
Gil last Tuesday night to get an idea
of how the city was run. They lis
tened to the reading of the current
bills, heard the final reading of an
ordinance which created a city law,
heard new councilman take his
oath Of office.
Requests for additional street
lights are heard nearly every meet
ing and Mayor Leibee explained to
the visitors that the city was limited
in it's expenditures of this sort by
the budget, and that many times
these requests were denied on this
|sccre. He called attention to the state
ment for the month of January
amounting to $378 from the power
company as an example of what it
was costing the city under the pres
ent arrangement for street lighting.
The mayor also explained the plans
for the proposed new city hall and
asked that the children be informed
Of the fact that the interest on the
bond issue would be no more than the
city is at present paying for rent.

is FINED FOR
TAKING BEAVER
Benton City Man Pleads
Guilty of Trapping =
Hundreds in County

F. M. Jones of Benton City was
taken into custody Monday and in
Superior court Tuesday pleaded gull
ty to charge of trapping beaver and
was sentenced to pay fine of ninety
dollars and ninety days in Jail, the
Jail sentence being suspended during
good behavior.
The state law requires that any
fur dealer receiving a shipment of
furs of protected animals shall at
once report the same to the federal
game warden who shall investigate
and determine whether the furs come
from open territory or where it is
legal to take such fur. A shipment
was received by Spokane fur house
from Jones, the shipment being
made from Umatilla. Oregon, but
with the request that remittance be
made to him at Benton City. This
aroused suspicion and several days
investigation led to the belief that
he was trapping beaver on the Yak
ina river near Benton City and TAX
ing them to Oregon for shipment.
One beaver carcass was discovered on
the ranch near Benton City where
Jones lives. When arrested and con-
fronted with the evidence that had
been secured he pleaded guilty to
the charge.
Benton county has hundreds of
beaver distributed along the river,
Mr.. Palmer said, and poachers are
frequently caught in their attempt
to trap them and sell the skins. Bea-
yer do not modest the orchards as
they do in the upper Yakima valley
and their colonies are multiplying
rapidly.

FARM SURVEY
WORK MOVING
Committee from CONNER.
cial Club at Work Getting
Data for Farmers

The second of the series of ten
Commercial club luncheons was held
at the club rooms today. Following
the luncheon w. C. Muldrow gave a
report of the activities of the COM
mittee recently appointed to make an
industrial survey of the community
The activities of this committee
have been divided into eleven sub
heads and will include such subjects
as horticulture, agriculture, livestock,
fertilizer, stock feeding, crop rota-
tion, irrigation, drainage, marketing
town and country cooperation, and
the county agent matter.
The plan Of the committee is to
gather information relative to the
tonnage, varieties, methods, etc., Of
each of the crops, the outlook as to
marketing and other features being
upon the particular crop. Thus un-
profitable varieties can be culled out
and effort concentrated upon the best
paying kinds.
The most successful growers in
each line will be asked for their me-
thods which will be held up as stand
ards. It is probable that various crops
now being experimental with will be
found to be unsuited to this commun-
| ity for various reasons and farmers
will be informed that they may not
waste time and money with further
experiments.
It is thought that the data obtained
from this survey will be one Of the
most valuable contributions ever
made toward the development of the
farming interests and will be great
aid toward the prosperity of the en-
| tire community.

HUNTING DOGS MUST
NOT BE AT LARGE
New Game Code Prevents Bird Dogs
from Roaming During April,
May, June and July

Owners of bird dogs will be inter-
ested in one of the provisions of the
new game code which prohibits such
dogs running at large during the
months of April, May, June and Ju-
ly. In other words during those four
months bird dogs must be kept tied
or in an enclosure. This law will
doubtless meet with the approval of
all those who are interested in game
preservation as there can be no doubt
that many birds are killed and nests
destroyed by dogs hunting at will
during the nesting season. N. E. Pal
mer, county game warden, states that
he expects to enforce this provision
of the law the same as all others
and all owners of hunting dogs would
do well to take due notice.

BOND ELECTION
is POSTPONED
March 15 is New Date Set
for Decision on Build
ing New City Hall 3D..

The special bond election for the
purpose of authorizing the expendi-
ture of $16,000.00 for city hall pur-
poses has been postponed from next
Tuesday until March Is. This action
was taken at the last meeting of the
city council owing to the fact that
the publication of the election notice
had not been made in time. --
The official notice will be printed
in next weeks paper and for the fol
lowing two issues, giving the required
notice of fifteen days. On Monday,
March Is the election will be held, the
three precinct polling places being
open from eight o'clock in the morn
ing until eight at night.
Plans have been drawn for the
proposed building and are on file at
the office of the city clerk where in
terested citizens may inspect them
during the afternoons. The plans will
also be printed in this paper as soon
as the cuts can be prepared.
The oversight in the publication OF
the required legal notice will delay
the completion of the building just
about a month. In order that every
legal requirement was met this de-
lay was unavoidable.
Should the election carry the coun-
ell will use every effort to get the
construction of the building under
way at the earliest possible moment.
Unless unexpected delays occur the
city officers figure on being able to
occupy their new quarters early in
the fall.
