Good players have about decided
that, while they can win occasion

O.-W. STARTS
EXTENSION

The O.-W. started work this
morning, putting in the side track
TO the Church Grape Juice plant,
following the passage of the fran
chise ordinance by the city coun-
ell Tuesday evening. Upon with
drawal of the objections offered by
the Northern Pacific the matter
was given some discussion and ex-
PLANTATION, following which the road
was given the privilege of using
the city streets for their extension.
Informal discussion was h e d
concerning the slot machines in the
city. No action was taken on the
matter, City Atty. Holcomb quoting
from the state law which prohibits
their use. The matter of licensing
eating houses also came in for some
talk, but the council considered the
matter too big to handle in an off
hand manner. Considerable thot
is being put into a plan to license
every kind of business in town as
a matter of protection and also for
revenue purposes.
Some Of the councilmen favor a
strict license law for every kind of
business to prevent side lines from
being handled by other businesses
as a matter of accommodation. Such
an innovation would no doubt be
startling to some and the proposal
IS due, apparently, for a lot more
consideration before the council
will be willing to start on such a
plan.

Gets Aid From VERA

Among the first VERA school
projects to be approved in Benton
county by State Superintendent N.
ID. Showalter under the new set
up of handling the preliminary ar
rangements through the county
superintendent office. were those
of the Kiona-Benton, Hover-Finley
and Whitstran school systems.
Most improvements will embrace
such changes as reflooring, redec-
Grating, undermining buildings and
Fairgrounds, repairing furniture
and installing showers and new law
atory equipment. In all cases the
districts have guaranteed only the
cost of material used and charges
for industrial insurance, the state
relief agency agreeing to pay the
labor costs. .#..-

STATE TOTAKE
OVER ALLRO
WORK BY CODE
Highway Funds to Be Spent
by State Department if Pro-
posed Code is Passed; Com
missioners Act as Advisors

Abolition of county engineers
offices, with the state maintain
ing all roads under an advisory
board of three, cooperating with
county commissioners, may be rec
commended to the 1885 legislature
in the state highway code.
The highway department. was in
structed by the 1888 legislature to
draft a code eliminating unneces-
sary highway laws and suggesting
changes in administration of roads.
The code is being compiled under
the supervision of Lacey ". Nor
row, director of highways. Pat
Winston, legal council for the de-
partment, in working on the code,
found more than 1000 laws on the
books, several hundred of which
were obsolete.
Although Murrow has not an
nounced details of the code, it was
learned the new draft would pro-

highway department.
If the code is handed to the leg
islature and passed in that form,
80 county engineers office would
be closed. bodybuilding, one of
the chief functions of county COM
missioners, would be taken over by
the state. Large savings in sal
aries and duplication of machinery
were expected to be made under
the plan.
Another plan which may be
adopted for the code would have
/ the state take over only major Sec
ondary highway of the state, leav-
ing smaller roads still under the
county commissioners. County en-
ginners would be left in office.
The new code, it was understood,
would remove road and bridge
building entirely from the hands
of the legislature, where it was oft
en- "pork barrel in past ses-
sions.
The advisory board would con-
vene for about 40 days each year
and confer with county commits

KID DISEASES
CLOSE SCHOOLS

The Kennewick schools were clos
ed Tuesday noon until January 8.
This action was taken by the
school authorities acting in coop
Grafton with County Health Off
Ger, DR.. L. G. Spaulding.
Because of the large number of
school children suffering from
measles, mumps, chickenpox, pink
eye and from the effects Of the
wholesale vaccinations, attendance
has dropped to such a point that
continuance of the daily sessions
was no longer possible.
While there are about dozen
new cases Of smallpox reported
during the past week, DR.. Spauld-
ing reports that all are adults and
that the situation, insofar as the
schools are concerned, is under
control. Only one case Of smallpox
so far has been serious, he stated.
DR.. Spaulding is of the opinion
that the unseasonably warm wea-
ther being experienced is response
BILE for the unusually large num-
Der of cases of illness and thinks
that a cold snap before school
opens after the holidays will clear
up the situation.
In the meantime no ban on meet
ings has been called and no restric-
tions other than home quarantine
where there are active cases of
smallpox will be placed.

HORSE HEAVEN
BONDS BURNED
BY DISTRICT
Gradual Disorganization Be-
gun on 100000 Acres Dry
Land in District; Quarter
Million Originally

Placing the final stamp of ap-
prevail on the refinancing of the
Horse Heaven Irrigation District
$120, 100000 in district bonds were
burned at the court house here last
week by County Treasurer Harry
Forsyth and the board Of directors
of the district composed of Walter
Weller, chairman, Waitsburg, o. K
Williamson, secretary and Pau
Hamilton, Prosser postmaster.
Starting with an outstanding
bond obligation of $222,s00 last
year, the directors funded this debt
to $4,000 through negotiations
with the state and bondholders
committee. Through a misunder-
standing with the state the refund
ing bonds originally were issued
drawing 2 percent interest, but q
new series of bonds issued recently
draw 4 percent in corrected inter
est.
An agreement with the state de-
partment of conservation and de-
velopment at the time of the re-
funding operations, making the dis
trict one of the biggest real estate
dealers in the state was recently
consumated when the courts look
ed with favor on a quiet title &C
ton brought by the district on some
100000 acres of land. The Land,
chiefly adaptable to the dry farm
ing of wheat, oats and rye a n d
sheep and cattle grazing, will be
sold with a clear title free from
all real and irrigation taxes and be
excluded from the district under
the present plan of gradual disor-
ganization of the district.

Facts about tuberculosis must

Despite the steady progress made

that through a simple skin test,
they can find out whether or not
