Do We Get 1T?
or Do We Not?

To be hot or not to be hotl That
is the question which puzzles some
of us idle people who have nothing
to do but worry about the weather.
A year ago this coming week,
the thermometer clung steadily to
the little black marks above 100,
and 100 was reached one scorching
day. So far we have made our
selves fairly comfortable in the
lower COS, although 1t did hit 100
twice in the last month.
Perhaps If we all hold our breath
and do some furious knocking on
wood, well escape a shot" spell,
and be able to say to admiring
tourists in all truthfulness, "Oh,
yes, we just have a nice, warm
summer here!"

Burns had appeared in Prosser
and hired q crew of laborers to
start work on the canal Wednes-
day morning. He promised them
$3.50 day and Saturday after

when he cashed two checks, one
for $15 and the other for SO, with
out funds in the bank to cover
them.
He was caught, pleaded guilty,

Miss Eleanor Mary Roberts, the
daughter of Mrs. Ella Roberts, was
the only KennewicA student to
make the honor roll at Washing
ton State College the last semest-
er. according to an announcement
issued last week from the office OF
the registrar.
A place on the honor roll means
that the student has earned a "B"

ter than 90 per cent. Almost twice
as many boys as girls were includ-
ed in the list this time, there be-
ing 61.4 percent boys as compared
with 1876 per cent girls.

Keolker Solos Aloft;
School Seeks Sanction


Sprouting his wings in good
style, Francis Keolker, student at
the Hallett's air school, made his
first solo flight Wednesday after
noon, staying up 40 minutes. He de-
clares that the notion of being
afraid did not enter his head.
The Halletts have put in their
application for the sanction of the
Department of Commerce for their
school. This sanction of the De-
partment of Commerce for their
school. This sanction is given only
to schools who have a licensed pi-
lot teacher and a licensed ground
school instructor. There are at
present only about 25 schools so
approved in the United States.
Since George Hallett is licensed
transport pilot, and Jimmy Cooper
licensed airplane mechanic, they
anticipate little difficulty in Sc
curing the official sanction.

TRUCK TURNS
OVER WITH A
FROM HOVER
Anna Thomas Cut With Fly
ing Glass as Car Tumbles
Off Walla Walla Detour !;
Others Hurt

Rounding a sharp turn over de-
tour on the Walla Walla road, a
truck driven by Margaret Houle Of
Hover, skidded on some iron pip
ing and overturned, giving its four
occupants a severe shaking up.
Marie and Anna Thomas, and
Dean Slyter, also of Hover, were in
the truck with the driver. No one
was seriously injured except Anna
Thomas, whose face and arms were
badly cut by flying glass from the
broken windshield.
The accident occurred near Whit
man. The truck was travelling
slowly, but just at the turn the
road was worn down and pitted
with deep holes. Another car ahead
of the truck was unable to make
the turn and left the road, tho re-
manning upright. The dust from
this car blinded Miss Houle, and as
the wheels of the truck hit the
piping, the car went over. The
motorists in the car ahead took
the passengers of the truck to the
hospital in Walla Walla. The truck
was undamaged, and the party re
| turned to Hover safely.

OILING ROADS
TO START IN
SEVERAL DAYS
New Process To Relieve Dust
Nuisance on Gravel Streets
in Kennewick; Equipment
Being Gathered

Equipment is being collected to
start the oiling of Kennewick ave-
nue. between the bridge and the
city limits, and East Third be-
tween Washington street and the
S. P. & S. depot. Work viii prob
ably be started the last of the
week.
The equipment used will consist
of an oil distributor, caterpillar
tractors, graders and coupled discs.
The rSadbed is being prepared
now by the city, and the diversified
rocks being eliminated. There is
about a mile and half of work to
be done. Part of the equipment
has been loaned by the state, and
part rented by the city from the
county.
The new method of oiling, in
which the oil is spread by dis
tributor truck, then mixed thoro-
ly with the road surface, does.
away with the splattering and the
caking that proved such a disad-
vantage. The cost is about $1,000
a mile. The development of oiled
roads is so rapid that, according to
those in charge of this job, it will
only be a short time until all of
Eastern Washington's gravel roads
are oiled. 1t is cheaper in the long
run, since an oiled road needs a
new treatment at five-year periods,
and a gravel road needs three
inches of new gravel every three
years.
