Cop for Cleveland's
 Golf Course Is Named

Cleveland, O., Sept. ? (UP) - A mounted "cop' who is paid to roam over golf course and chase young sters who hunt for so-called lost" balls, is Cleveland's latest addition to it's police force.
 Safety Director Edwin Barry and Chief of Police Jacob Graul decided to put the mounted guard at the publicly owned Highland park golf links, following compaints from the park board that the course was be- ing 'raided" and equipment stolen.
 It will be one of the duties of the mounted policeman to see that no golf balls are picked up without due premeditation," according to Graul
 The park board however has or dered that the policeman must keep his horse on the fairways and not let the animal trample over any of the courses beautiful greens.
 If the plan proves successful, other ''mourties" may be assigned to park links, and the entire squad called "Cleyeland's Mounted Golf Rangers"

WEALTHY CHINESE
 BID FOR JADES
Send Up Prices Even Outside
 Orient

San Francisco, Sept. 2 P-Plain jade bowls the size and shape of an old fashioned oatmeal dish now cost up to $500 apiece, and the sit nation in China's jade market has become a distressing one to Ameri- can buyers.
 Although it is only the superior shades of jades, such as green apple" emerald green and mutton tat light gray, that have increased so alarmingly in price, the market for jade in the United States has suffered, and a San Francisco i'm porter admits that there is ab- solutely nothing to be done about 1t.
 Tt isn't so much that New York and London buyers are bidding against each other for jade" he ex- plains. The wealthy Chinese them selves are always on hand to snap up bargains.
 These Chinese gentlemen know jade, and furthermore, they know
  them with unlimited money. They'll bid $l0,0OO for piece of jade with out batting an eye. l would just as soon bid against New York or Lon don collector as against one Of these rich men of Peking."
 Demand for jade art. once limited to a few collectors in the large capitals of Europe, and to New York, San Francisco and one or two other cities in America, has grown in the last decade.
 Recently a Chicago man paid a incense burner about seven inches high. It was only one article in an order that totalled s69,000.
 The rarest articles on the Orien- tai market are those that once be- longed to the imperial family of China. Some of them date back to the Chow dynasty G122 B. c. to c49 B. O.
 It is an open trade secret that the present source of supply of the rarest works of jade art is the treasure trove which Hsuan Tung, deposed boy emperor, took with him when he sought refuge in the Japanese concession at Tientsin Failing to receive the annuity prom ised him when the empire was con- verted into republic. Hsuan Tung began to dispose of the relics of the imperial collection.

UP cows NOW
All Dairymen Urged to
have Cattle Tested
lis Free

An insufficient number of Ben
ton county dairymen are availing
themselves of the opportunity to
have their cattle tuberculin tested
free of charge, says Gertrude
Gage, county club agent. There
are in Benton county at the pres
ent time 5766 head of cattle all
of which must be tested in order
to have our county t.b. free. At
the present time there are 1914
head signed. If 2941 head or one
percent more than one half of all
the assessed cattle in the county
signed up, it will not be necessary
to obtain the signatures of the re-
manning owners.
This is the opportunity for far
seeing citizens to do a bit of com
munity work which will benefit the
entire county. A t.b. free district
is one Of the best advertisements
we can offer to home seekers. Ev-
cry head of cattle shoul d be sign
ed up before July regardless of
when the last test was made. Ap-
plication blanks may be secured

FIRST
OILED ROAD
Highway between Pave
ment and Benton City
Dustless and Smooth

A dispatch from the Automobile
Club of Washington to the Courier
Reporter tells the following story:
Washington's first real attempt
at oiling roads is being undertaken
this week, the Automobile Club of
Washington has been advised by
j. w. Hamilton, district engineer
OF the Yakima Territory, who has
been authorized by the state to
proceed at once with oiling of l6
miles of state road No. 8. the In
land Empire highway, between
Kennewick and Benton City.
This work will be watched with
particular interest by road build
ers since it marks the results of
an extensive campaign, in which
the Automobile club took leading
part, to have all Washington high
ways SO conditioned as to provide
the most travel-comfort for mo-
torists.
Highway oiling is being practic-
ed in the other two coast states,
Oregon's work on the Columbia
River highway route being a not
able example while California's
latest attempts are over Skyline
Boulevard and Pacheco Pass. In
Washington there are almost three
thousand miles of roads in the fed
eral aid highway system, of which
only about six hundred are paved
leaving nearly twenty-four hun
dred miles that are dusty at least
six months of the year.
At a cost of $637 per mile, a
figure based on Oregon charges
and including every item, roads
can be transformed into smooth,
dustless highways over which the
motorist can travel in comfort at
all times. There is no need for a
single mile of improved gravel or
crushed rock surface road to be
dusty.
The oiling of the road between
this town and Benton City is glad
news to all Kennewick residents.
With the new pavement open and
the improved oil highway the road
between here and Yakima and Sc
attic will be very much better
this year.

Pr0perty-Test Case

An action has been instituted by
the Columbia Irrigation district to
recover from the county taxes
which have been levied against
district owned property. The var

state have had considerable pro-
perty revert because of unpaid ir-
ngation assessments and the con-
tention is being made that the
county has no right to tax such
property. This is in the nature of
a test case and will undoubtedly
go to the state supreme court, a
statement given out at the audit
or's office at Prosser says, as the
underlying principle is of vital in
terest to all irrigation districts,
and also to every county in which
there is an irrigation district.

claims on the fact that counties

BRIDGE ROAD
: :. is NOW OPEN
High Water Closes Detour
Light Traffic Only
On Pavement

The river road pavement be-
tween Kennewick-Pasco bridge and
Washington street was opened to
light traffic the first of this week.
The pavement was 81 days old and
the bad condition of the detour,
due to the high water of the Co
lunnbia, made it advisable to open
the new road to traffic rather than
spend more money improving the
temporary detour. Trucks and all
heavy vehicles are not yet allowed
to travel the new highway.
"The highway department. con-
elders concrete which has been al
lowed to set for 21 days strong
enough to stand up under the
weight of all ordinary touring
cars" Fl. E. Wooster, engineer in
charge of the work here said to-
day. "Since the stretch of road be-
tween Washington st. and the
bridge had been finished that long
we considered it useless to do fur
ther work on the detour. The re-
manning portion of the new pave
ment will be opened about July z"
The detour between Kennewick
and Pasco had been menaced by
the high water for several weeks.
Lately the water has risen higher
than the road bed near the rail-
road bridge, and dikes were built
to keep the water out. Seepape,
however. caused the road to get
very soft in place or two and
lately it has been impossible.
All truck hauling across the
bridge has been shut off for the
time being. The two large auto
stages operating between Portland
and Spokane; Yakima and Walla
Walla, have been forced to trans
fer their passengers to touring
cars in order to get them from
here to Pasco and vice versa.
Trucks will be allowed on the
pavement as soon as it is consid.
cred stron genough.
Citizens of Kennewick should
feel grateful to Mr.. Wooster for
use of the road sooner than the
regular plans of the state. as it
was due to his recommendation
that it was opened.
