100000 CONTRACT LET FOR
PLENTYWOOD- SCOBEY ROAD

would probably take little more
time, but what of it? We have
waited for years and years to have
this road built, if we had to wait
a few months more it would be
perfectly all right with everybody
as long as the money is earned by
our own people.
Several times we have taken this
up with the State Highway Com
mission and suggested to them
that state highway work should be
given to the county in which the
roads are to be built at an esti-
mated cost. We have pointed out
how much fairer it would be to the
people and how it would eliminate
a lot of graft. We also pointed
out that work of that kind is be-
ing done very successfully by the
counties in South Dakota. But so
far our Highway Commission has
given us the cold shoulder, and
they might have a mighty good
reason for it.
When you read about the investi-
CATIONS going on In Washington
you get the impression that the
whole country is run on bribery
and graft from the top down. That
our State Highway Commission Il
much more interested in the wei
fare Of the big contractors thar
in the welfare Of the common peo
pie, indicates that it pays them
better to line up with the big fel
, lows.
On September 81 road contract
, amounting to 100000 were given
: On Oct. % more contracts to abou
the same amount will be awarded
When these contracts are let q
fancy figures, the interest Of tn
. contractors is well taken care Of
|, Most likely this is also to the bes
! interest Of the Highway Commits
sion, but it Is far from being I
: the best interest Of our countie
: and the people living here.

i be coming forth from this Stat

On Sept. 81. the State Highway
Commission let a contract for the
grading, gravel swrfacing and
small drainage structures on sec
ton "B" of the Scobey-Plentywood
road in Daniels county extending
1O,261 miles east. The contract
was let to the Inland Construction
company for the sum OF $90,SOO.
A contract for two bridges on
the same road was given to Wal
ter Mackin, Brockway, for $4,220'
This contract will complete the
state highway in Daniels county to
the Sheridan county line at the
cost of more than one hundred
thousand dollars, out of which prob
ably not more than ten thousand
viii be earned by the people In
Daniels county. At So per day the
$4,000 would pay wages to 90 mer
for a period of 81 days, and that
probably is all the people of Dan
els county can expect to get on,
of IL. But, let us be liberal anc
saw that $4,000 will be paid il
wages to people living in that couI
ty. Then $4,000 would still be
going somewhere else.
Time and again The Producers
News has pointed out the unfair
ness in letting out the state high
wav work to outside contractors
Especially at this time when PEG
pie and counties are as hard up a
, we are. If the 100000 could b
distributed among the people o.
, Daniels county it would go a lon
Wavs towards relieving the situs
: ton among the people and the
county as well.
f 1885 Per Mile
h This road work has been let I
e a verv attractive figure, 1888
: per mile. If Daniels county ma
: been given the contract. the coul
e tv could be paying the very tc
+ wages and still have thousands
: dollars left in the treasury VINE
r the lob was completed. The ccul
il tv can build the road just as pc
feet as the contractor can. l

RELIEF NEED IN NORTH
DAKOTA INCREASING

The amount Of
poor relief has been increasing
steadily during the past four years
in North Dakota. A survey of
the states So counties shows that
in 1880 the counties spent a total
of $579, 558 for poor relief; in 1881,
$92S,837; in 1882 seas, ACT; and in
1893 it topped the million mark
with expenditures Of $1,071, 796. In
addition considerable sums were
spent in 1888 by the federal gov

sufficient to meet the needs Of the

CHECK CHILDRENpS
HEALTH AT CLINIC

No better check on a child's devel-
opment can be obtained than that
which is provided by the yearly pre-
school clinics held by DR. Spaulding OF
Kennewick Every child is weighed and
measured and any conditions which
might require treatment are recorded
on cards for both the physician and
the parents. The weight Is checked
with the normal weight OF children
of the same height and age.
These usual features Of the clinic
will be offered next Tuesday, June
IL, as well as the toxoid treatment.
If you haven't already made your APP
pointment, it is not yet too late. 1t Will
be particularly valuable for children
who had measles during the recent cpl
demic. The clinic will be held in the
assembly rooms of the Presbyterian
church.

Tax Collections For
May Total $l54,77o

Payment by railroad companies OF
one-half Of their taxes boosted the
Benton county tax collections In May
to $154,770.97, according to word from
the county treasurer's office this week.
This includes all types Of taxes ana
will enable the county to make one
of the largest warrant calls in more
than year. The call, officials say,
will be made June 20, and Will put
several more districts on cash basis.
Sums paid by the railroad COM
panies are: Nothern Pacific, $3l ,926.4O;
S. P. g. S., $3O,556.24; Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, $37,055n, and
Union Pacific, $12,347.62.
Collections on current levies were
larger in May than in the same month
last year, Louis P. Kelly, deputy trea-
surer, says, although the total re-
ceived last year was larger. Receipts
in May, 1888, were 1897 900, but in
cluded returns from the sale of several
bond issues authorized to ref1nance ir-
rigation districts.
Disbursements last May amounted to
$58, 78O, while in the same month in
1882 they totaled $4,000.

Prosser Victorious
With Score Of IA

In a game which saw but few errors,
the local team was defeated Sunday,
to q, by the Prosser veterans. One OF
the largest crowds to turn out this sea-
son found plenty to root for, the game
being close and exciting throughout.
Joe Wagner, starting pitcher for the
locals, started the scoring when he hit
a home run in the second inning. Pros
ser put over two runs in the third, but
the locals evened the score with an
other run in that inning.
With some heavy hitting in the fifth
inning, combined with three bases on
balls off Wagner, Prosser was able to
cinch the game with two runs. They
drove in three more runs In the
eighth while the locals added two in
the sixth, when Whitlock, pitching for
Prosser, weakened for a while. He re-
gained his control and managed to
hold the locals to few hits after that
rally.
Next Sunday the local team will
travel to Yakima to take on the ALI
Stars one of the strongest teams in
the league. The Stars have already
chalked up one victory over the locals.
In the other two league contests
Sunday Sunnyside blanked GrandvieW
7 to 0 and the renovated Pasco team
! handed the Yakima All~Stars 9 g.

SENIORS END YEAR
AT DINNER, DANCE

Since the measles deprived the Sc
niors of their trip to the penitentiary
at Walla Walla, the faculty members
endeavored to make it up to them by
serving them a Prison Banquet" and
putting them through the three de-
grees. The Seniors were met at the
door by inspector @. M. Nelson, who
took them in custody for the dinner
hour at the Nelson home and led them
to table decorated in a rather ideal
lied prison manner, with black candles
in musty bottles and black and white
striped candies
The prisoners found their places
with the aid of the rogues gallery
each ones picture in suitable stripes
having been pasted on folder which
gave an account of the malefactors
appeagaiaca criminal habits and spe-
cific offenses.
The inspector, assisted by Jailer An
derson and Turnkey Duvall as wait
resses, put them through three-de-
gree dinner. The first degree was bread
and water; the second, shoe leather,
face twister, white-washed cannon
balls, oiled gun shot, mash and cell
add; the third, TINT, rock pile, gun
powder and slime. Translated from the
prison vernacular, this was very de-
licious dinner which the prisoners en-
joyed heartily.
The convicts finally managed tc
shoot their way out and went on tc
as lovely a Senior Ball as has ever
been given White Bluffs graduating
class. The Ball was given in the gym
nasium by the Junior class and was
attended by almost the entire student
body. Walter Mykol's orchestra played
for the dancing.
