The few tests that have been made of

CIRCLE WILL OPEN
NEW D. c. GATEWAY
Paving at Massachusetts and
Western Avenues to Be
Completed Soon.

The opening Of a new gateway into
the District of Columbia from Mary
land on the northwest boundary will
be signalized in the next few days by
completion Of the paving Of a new
circle at the intersection Of Massa-
chusetts and Western avenues.
The new circle. lying near Dalecarlia
Park. now is near completion and dur
ing the next year the extension of Mas
sachusetts avenue far into suburban
Maryland Is to be carried out.
The new circle as yet is officially
nameless, although a community title
has been conferred upon it unofacially.
1t was planned by Charles w. Eliot,
Park and Planning Commission, in CO.
operation with the Maryland-Nationa
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion. It has been constructed by Dis
trict and Maryland authorities.
AIS Feet In Diameter.
The circle has diameter Of ap-
proximately 425 feet over all. It has
a slightly mounded contour and has
an elevation of about 270 feet. 1t pro-
vides an entrance into Dalecarlia Park,
as well as into the National Capital.
Massachusetts, avenue extended al
ready has been paved for q distance
of about three-quarters Of mile out
into Maryland, and bridged across Lit
tie Falls Creek. Necessary funds will
be made available by Maryland during
1888 for extension of the boulevard
into suburban Maryland.
When this work has been finished,
one branch of Massachusetts, avenue
will connect with Conduit avenue which
will lead to the Bannockburn Golf Club
and the Great Falls area The other
spur Of Massachusetts, avenue, together
with River road, will give Washington
new access to Kenwood, the Burning
Tree Club, the National Women's Coun-
try Club and the National Capital
Horse Show Grounds
VIII Form New Artery.
Ultimately, this branch Of Massachu-
sets avenue extended will be tied In
with the Poolesville- -Darnstown Pike to
Frederick, Md. to constitute a main
artery entering the District from that
direction.
It is recalled that back In 1886, when
avenue, like other streets
in the northwest section, stopped short
at Florida avenue, then known as
Boundary street, civic leaders sponsored
legislation for the extension of Massa-
avenue from Boundary street
TO the Tennallytown road section, now
avenue.

Probably everybody, says the Weather

provide all the different brands Of
weather available, and thus keep all
the "goosebone prophets" happy.
As for Weather Bureau scientists,
they make no forecasts. but see the
possibility of a mild Winter. It's all

so much as glance to see If the toad
stools on old logs have many wrinkles,
or If squirrels are laying in larger stores

and deep SHOWS.
There are some indications, says the
Weather Bureau, that temperatures run
in cycles above and below normal
through the years, and that warm VIM
ters tend to follow warm Winters, while
cold Winters follow cold ones.
At present the temperature curve
seems to be swinging upward. Sum-

bPER CENT GOLD
/. BACKS US. MONEY
Currency Strengthened Far
More Than Required
by Law.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Federal Reserve Banks of the country
are backing their $2,925 ,250,000 Of cur
rency in circulation with more thar
rs per cent gold though the law re-
quires only 40 per cent gold to secure
the systems money.
Latest Treasury Records.
Latest Treasury records show Fedora,
Reserve Banks have deposited with Fed
eral Reserve agents and the Treasury Q
total of $2,241 ,16s 900 in gold to secure
its note circulation.
This huge gold reserve against the
circulation, while not the largest on
record, remains despite enactment oi
the Glass -Steagall law which permits
the banks, under certain conditions, to
substitute Government securities for the
so per cent eligible paper required In
addition to the minimum of 40 per
cent gold to pledge Reserve Banks cur
rency.
The banks, however, have taken ad-
vantage of the Glass-Steagan act to the
extent of replacing eligible paper with
S423, 800, 900 Of Government securities.
They have $500, ,799, 900 Of eligible paper
deposited against the circulation
The banks at one time early In the
year had approximately 90 per cent Of
their circulation backed by gold. Short
ly after this the Glass-Steagall law
was passed to permit the banks to draw
down needed gold If the occasion arose
and the Federal Reserve Board ap-
proved 1t provided the banks with q
reservoir from which they could re-
plenish stocks of free gold that could
be paid out over the counter.
National Bank Active.
National banks also have taken ad-
vantage of the legislation passed by the
last session of Congress under the
Glass-Borah amendment to the home
loan bank act they have deposited with
the Treasury approximately $135, ,750 900
in Government securities to back ma
tional bank circulation.
Before this amendment only certain
forms of per cent Government bonds
were eligible as backing for national
bank currency. The act made Govern
ment securities carrying not more than
3ss per cent interest eligible to back
the currency of national banks.
National banks now have outstanding
S872, 2,517 493 in currency, of which $685.
Az. .524 Is in circulation. The amount
in circulation is about $148, ,000, 900 more
than early In July when the amendment
went into effect The Glass-Borah
If used to the maximum,
would permit a currency expansion of
approximately $l,000,000, 900.

Plant Destroyed by Fire
This Year; Need Plant for
Asparagus Outlet

Altho hopes of obtaining money
from the reconstruction finance
corporation have been blasted,
Sunnyside residents and ranchers
will continue to work for con-
struction of cannery here, MEM
bers of the commercial club COM
mittee said today.
A committee from the club and
one from the asparagus growers
had several meetings, but as yet
have arrived at no definite plan.
The group will be unable to get
money from the reconstruction fl
ance corporation as it has no def
mite organization and cannot give
security.
Possibilities of organizing CO.
operative concern for a cannery
are being investigated. Sunnyside
residents said a plant is needed
here to give an outlet for part of
the annual asparagus crop. The
cannery of the Evaporated Fruits,
Inc, burned last June, destroying
the only upper valley outlet for as
paragus.

CHOSEN FOR
FAIR BOARD
Device Keeps Power Plant at
Prosser Under Even Oper-
ating Head; Will Prevent
Damage

In every respect the local fair
was success this year, is the OPP
inion of the board of directors,
who met this week. From an at
tendance standpoint, the num-
Der, size and variety of exhibits,
entertainment and financially, it
proved to be a winner.
The financial report, printed in
detail elsewhere in this issue,
showed the association with an es-
timated valuation Of something
like 100000 in physical proper
ty, about SIS in the bank, all bills
but one paid.
The report shows that hundred
dollar doctor bill carried over
from last year has been paid, fin
al payment made on the purchase
of the grounds, water and taxes
paid, as well as the additional
buildings and other improvements.
The grounds now contain three
new display buildings, in addition
to the ones used for the school, pet
and livestock departments, a new
pump house, caretaker's residence,
dance floor, fences, benches, etc.
1t was felt that the fair has an UNI
unusually good start for the cur
rent years show.
Attendance by Franklin county
people was noticeably increased
this year and there were three in
dividual exhibits from that side
Of the river. The three day show
this year proved popular and
profitable.
Carl Williams was again chosen
to head the association for this
year, with o. H. Olson, vice pres
ident, e. C. Durdle secretary and
Glen Utz, treasurer.
Directors were chosen as fol-
lows. Vale Grange, Ernest john
son; Finley, c. Puderbaugh; Lo-
Gust Grove, Leonard Kinkaid;
Highlands, w. S. Green and Val
ley, J. A. Mclean. Representa-

merce, Kiwanis, Woman's Club and
