A. R. Thompson circulated a
petition among business men
and others of the city this week
for funds with which to build a

Asks for Extension From
Sunset TO a Point East of

Local business interests are
getting behind a movement for
the extension of the damste
highway. which leaves the Sun
set two miles northeast of town.
straight south on the section
line to point east the the base
ball grounds, located at the ex
IRENE east end of Main street.
This would very materially in
crease travel through the city
and would connect at a point
four or five blocks west with the
proposed route straight south
from the city to connect. near
the head of PARK lake with the
Soap Lake-Coulee City loop high
way. With rs per cent Of the
travel in this section to and from
the dam, this extension is Of
vital interest to CouIee City.
Eventually the Sunset high
way east, will be Strengthened
out. In that event it is very
unlikely that it will cross the
railroad track at what is known
as dead mans curve. In all
probability it will leave the pres
ent route several miles east of
the crossing at dead mans curve.
angling southwest, passing along
the south side of the airport
east of town, and on through
Main street to connect with the
proposed new route south to
Soap Lake, which is destined
eventually to become the main
artery OF travel.

|STOCKS INACTIVE
| IN NARROW RANGE
Market DulIest Since Early
January-CIose Is
Fairly Steady.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE stock
market was almost at a standstill in
today's brief session. Trading was
the dullest since the early part Of
January. The more active issues held
to narrow grooves and price changes
generally were unimportant. The
close was fairly steady. Transfers
approximated 100000 shares.
Both professionals and the public
were inclined to hug the safety zones
while waiting for developments on
the Potomac. Congressional activities
were still indecisive, and the Presi-
dents attitude toward disputed legis-
latton was a matter of conjecture.
Equities received little encourage
ment frcm commodities, most of
which milled about in a meaningless
range. Grains were bit reactionary
at one time, and rubber and cotton
were hesitant. Silver futures were
not buoyant, although the bar metal
was advanced % Of a cent an ounce
to 46as cents. Bonds were somewhat
mixed. United States Governments,
however, were firm. International
dollar rates we're stagnant.
Some of the metal and amusement
stocks were comparatively lively.
United States Smelling got up nearly
points. Cerro de Pasco was bit
higher. Warner Bros, Pathe and
Loew's advanced. Packard Motors
lost a trif1e on a sizable turnover.
Chrysler, General Motors, Nash, Ma
tional Distillers and United Aircraft
drifted somewhat lower. United
States Steel and American Telephone
we're fairly firm. The utilities and
rails did virtually nothing.
Consolidated Gas and other power
and light issues apparently were not
adversely affected by word that the
President had signed the joint reso-
luton directing the Power Commis-
sion TO investigate rates charged to
residential, rural, commercial and
industrial consumers throughout the
United States
While the financial sector was not
too well pleased with the Senate tax
bill boosting to new peace-time highs
the levieS on inheritances, gifts and
corporations, the thought was ex-
pressed that the measure may under
go numerous adjustments before 1t
finally becomes law. There was no
disposition to forecast the Presidents
reaction to the bill.
Market analysts interpreted the
Presidents remarks upon his arrival
in Washington as indicating that he
desires an early adjournment Of Con-
greSs. In the event that the legiS-
1a h-T he Of
May, it was believed certain that
many bills will have to be shelved.
There were faint hopes that the Stock
Exchange control measure would be
among these.
