pocket gopher must have tapped
the ditch.
The damage was small and the
washout not great because Of the
gravel formation underneath. The
county drag line was put to work
Monday morning and the major
part of the work viii be done with
the machine.

the lecture glass pens were pre-
sented to each member of the au-
dience.
Mr.. Howe worked with ordinary
clear glass such as would be used
for light globes, fish bowls or
glass dishes. He explained that
the Bohemian artisans worked
with glass of different cobrs, one
applied onto the other while the
Venetian workers mixed their col
ors by melting various colored
glass together. The colors in the
glass are made by the use of diff
ferent finds of metals. A flame
of $500 degrees Farenheit is re-
Iquired to melt the glass.

self as being in favor of the state
taking over intra-state toll bridges
of which there are three in the

ton in Walla Walla last Thursday
and Friday. A delegation consist
ing of Mark d. Moulton, who
spoke on "Dustless Highways

Rev. F. N. Morton, represented
the Kennewick Commercial club!
and Herbert Shanafelt and Harry
Blake represented the Kiwanis
club.
Restoration of state road No. g,
between Lyle and Kennewick, rs
planned. in 1913 was recommends
ed at the meeting as was the col
lection of one cent gasoline tax
for farm-to-narket road con-
struction.
Four factors contribute to the
necessity of changing the original
plans of the association as made
about Is years ago, Mr.. Moulton
pointed out in his speech. The de-
velopment of the use of auto
mobiles and trucks on the farms
has necessitated the farm to mar
ket road in the construction pro-
gram, the use of oil and gasoline
tax has speeded up construction,
the development of the highways
of other states and Canada re-
.quires highways to connect them
as North and South highway,
and our own state highways need
connection.
Instead of talbling resolutions
which come before the association
q committee or board should be ap-
pointed to recommend changes and
the association should adopt an
adequate program.

4 "Honk for service. Don't drive
in" Such was the placard which
decorated Harold Fyfe's window
after l.. d. Hildebrand had driv
en- his Chevrolet into Fyfe's plate
glass window about 5:30 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. Apparently
Hildebrand's child, who was wait
ing for him to return from the
postoffice, had been playing with
the gears, because when Hide
brand started the car it rode calm
ly but deliberately into the win
dow. The damage was about $3.50.
This accident seemed to inaug-
urate series of minor accidents,
none of which left serious consc-
quences. Monday morning while
Miss Lois Beightol was driving
her Ford coupe in from the High
lands, she. hit some loose gravel.
The car turned on its side, knock
ed up two tenders and broke the
glass in one door. Miss Beightol
sustained slight injuries.
Last Tuesday as William S. Fra
zier was going up cemetery hill,

the road, collidinsg with his Dodge
car and breaking the bumper off.
AS B. J. Campbell was driving
east on the road which goes by
William Koontz' place, Koontz
came out of his driveway and col
lided with Campbel's car. This
accident had the most serious coil-
sequences of any this last week
as Omar w. Rich, an occupant of
the car, sustained "a broken rib
and w. j. Taylor bumped head.
