PAJAMA DANCE DRAWS
CROWD, NETS 500

The Pajama dance in the Hanford
Community hall last Saturday eve
ming drew large crowd of gaily clad
young people and the affair was,
without doubt, one of the most en-
joyable of the season. The size of the
crowd was remarkable when one con-
slders that the dance was given at
the busiest time of the busy season,
some of the young folks who would
have liked to attend being prevented
because Of the warehouses in which
they are employed, worked that night
to finish up on the Jonathan packout.
After deducting the hall, orchestra
and other incidental expenses, the net
receipts were little over $50, which
will be used in providing a building
to house the fire equipment.

PAvEMENTS DANGEROUS
WHEN Wet SAYS CHIEF
BY
WILLIAM COLE, CHIEF STATE
HIGHWAY PATROL

To the motorist, the approach OF
the rainy season spells constant dan
ger and frequent disaster. The high
ways of this state are reasonably
free from old blacktop, SO dangerous
when wet, but there still remain
few stretches of this kind Of surfacing
upon country roads and there is plenty
of it on the city streets-just as dan
gerous as ever. Then there are many
places where concrete an brick pave
n,ents have been repaired with the
black top material, and the sudden
changing from one Kind of suriacins
to another tends to increase the dang
err of accidents. Then. upon all pave
ments, everywhere, there is to Dc
found a constantly increasing film OF
motor oil. In wet weather the OIL
soaked pavement becomes exceedingly
dangerous. especially on curves anu
at high speeds. A wet rdVemene Is
many times more dangerous than d
dry one. This has been demonstrated
by the increased number OF accidents
at the beginning of every rainy season
since motoring began.
The constant aim of the highway
patrolman is, of course. prevention
of accidents, and thus, the conserva-
ton of life and property. We wouio'
therefore, again appeal to all motor
lists as we did last year and to which
you SO considerably observed, the
increased hazards of driving, as we
pass from the drouth of summer to
the rainy season of the year,

IRRIGATION DISTRICT
DIRECTORS REAPPOlNTED

w. S. Weber, w. j. Kincaid and
L. N. Fry drove over Monday to
Prosser where they rendered their
designations as directors of the Priest
Rapids Irrigation District to the
board of county commissioners and
were reappointed by the board. This
action was taken to clear up any legal
defects that might exist because Of
the fact that the district has held no
elections for several years, or during
the period Of it's inactivity.
The move was also another step
toward getting the district in shape
to be used, in the event it is needed
to save the irrigation properties at
the receivership sale.

White Bluffs Presbyterian Sunday
School to look into the feasibility Of

HIGHWAYS
A SOURCE OF PRIDE

Although this particular locality can
not boast yet of any paved or ever
oiled roads, Washington's highway
system is rated among the best o.
inv state in the union.
Begun many years ago and pro.
noted steadily by generous appropria-
tons, it now covers the state with a
network of roads, tying together the
county seats of every county and
providing broad thoroughfares across
the state from north to south and
east to west.
Supplementing the state system
are the county and local roads, and
hose provided by the forest service
SO that every nook and corner of
he state is now easily accessible, &C
cording to the Washington State
Chamber of Commerce.
Expenses Total $15,00o,000
1t is estimated that there is being
expended upon Washington high
ways, for construction and main
tenance, upwards of $15,0O0,000 an
nually. AS result the mileage Of
concrete surfacing is constantly in
creasing.
In recent years oil is being applied
to the surfaces of earth and gravel
roads as a dust preventative, and
before the close of 1880 most of the
main roads of the state will be dust
less.
Highway Scenic
Washington's roads are not only
unitarian, for the transportation Of
the tonnage of rapidly growing
state and for quick travel between
communities by residents and Wis
itors, but they are superbly scenic,
mountain passes, and
skirting rivers, lakes and ocean.
Already two fine highways cross
the Cascade mountains, another will
be completed this year, and two
more already are in prospect. In
addition a marvelously scenic high
way follows the gorge Of the Column
bia river from central Washington
10 the sea.
Coast Route Skirts Sound
The Olympic highway encircling
he Olympic peninsula is nearing
and a marine view road,
,kirting Puget sound and the Pacific
ocean from Canada to the mouth
Of the Columbia, is being developed.
These present scenic attractions that
Ire unsurpassed.
Washington has good reason to be
proud of its highways.

Grange Lauds
Cooperative
Movement
Pomona Meeting Sept, Is
At Finley Attended
BY Good Crowd

Benton County Pomona Grange
met with the Finley subordinate
Grange Saturday Of last week with
a good attendance. Most of the Of
ficers were present which always
helps to hold the interest at these
meetings.
Reports from the various
Oranges show that on the whole
the Oranges have been active dur
ing the summer months.
Gilbert ClodfeIter reporting for
Locust Grove reported upon their
activities for the construction of a
new Grange hall and the general
good interest and attendance dur
ing the summer months.
Percy Sellick, reporting for Fin
ley reported good attendance and
successful candidate in. the Queen
contest held for the benefit of the
Kennewick Fair association.
Mrs. Swayze, reporting for Ken
newick Valley, reported very good
interest and considerable attend
ance during the summer, which has
enabled them to put water in the
hall.
Practically all Oranges reported
activities on the Power bill as we'll
as general activities toward de-
velopment of more interest in the
Grange in the community. through
various activities. Pomona Grange
voted to donate twenty-five dol
lars toward the district Power Bill
fund.
The question of continuation of
the Kingley Memorial fund and
it's use eventually for the purpose
of benefiting a farm to be used
for an old Changers home, was
brought up Though correspond
ence from Oranges in. Kitsap
county. After some little discus
sion it was moved that the matter
be laid upon the table to he brot
UP for discussion from time to
time before the next State Grange
meeting.
The question of cooperative or
ganization and the general coop
erative movement was brot up be-
fore the meeting by Master Roger.
Several ideas appeared in the
"Grange Facts" which has been
given rather large circulation over
the state, was the occasion for re-
marks by Mr.. Roger, as statements
in this publication were rather de-
picting this cooperative movement
as supported by Oranges. Mr.. Roy
err pointed out that since the es-
tablishing of the Feed Mill by the
Washington Cooperative Egg and
Poultry association in Yakima on'y
a few months back, that feed sales
had doubled; and he pointed out
that farmers were getting bet
ter quality Of feed through this
source than had usually been pos
sible previous to this time. Other
members present also stressed the
fact that Oranges were able to
benefit themselves considerably
here in the county through organ
ization to various commodities by
group action. The question of gas
contracts was brot up and the Po-
mona secretary instructed to con-
tinue his Investigations along this
line with the idea of extending the
advantages that some Oranges now
have in gasoline contracts.
The lecturers hour program was
under the direction of Mrs. C. Pu-
derbaugh.
