CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM! E. MCKINNEY
 Secretary of the American Bridge League
Plans Alternative Play Had Player Lost Diamond King t Opponents Ace, He Would Have Tried
 Heart Finesse for Slam

Thte bridge player who has two strings to his bow" is much more likely to produce the pleas ing music of a fulfilled contract than the player who depends on only one. This, of course, is the reason why the advice is repeated so often that a declarer, in making his plan of play, should leave the way open for an alternative line of play if the first line fails.
 In today's hand, which is not dif- ficult, it was because the declarer made the correct plan of play, and reserved an alternative in case the first line failed, that the contract was made.
 The bidding of Both East and West was based on the fact that North and South were vulnerable,

DRIVERS EXAMS
GIVEN HERE

First examinations for drivers
licenses under the new state law,
which provides that every driver
must pass the test before July 81,
1899, were given in the White
Bluffs community hall today by
State Patrolman L. M. Kennedy.
Patrolman Kennedy will give the
examinations to drivers of this val-
ley at the community hall on the
fourth Thursdays of each month.
With over 100000 drivers in the
state to be examined before the
deadline, the state highway depart
ment Is attempting to lessen the
last-minute avalanche of work by
giving as many as possible now
and Patrolman Kennedy urges all
drivers to take the examination at
the earliest possible moment.
The examinations consist of a
written test on Is questions, tests
for sight, hearing and color blind
ness, and an actual driving test.
Applicants for licenses will also
be tested by a reactometer, which
gauges the persons speed of re-
action, and depthometer, which
indicates his ability to estimate
the distance and speed of an on
coming car. These have no bearing
on the examination itself, Ken
nedy explains, but are given to aid
a person in determining how quick
ly he reacts in an emergency and
how closely he can estimate speeds
and distances.
None of these tests is tricky"
Kennedy declares, land anyone
who fails to pass the examination
may take it any number of times
until successful.
n. There are ten series of the writ
ten questions, taken from the states
manual of $50 questions and an
3sWers,. and an applicant may be
given any one of these ten tests"
A large supply Of the manuals is
now on hand at the White Bluffs
Motor company, the White Bluffs
Drug company and the Hartford
Garage, and Patrolman Kennedy
advises motorists to obtain one as
soon as possible and study it closely
before taking the examination.
Minors who wish to take the
examination must either be accom-
panied by their parents or have an
affidavit, signed by their parents.
Since these afidavits must be
signed before a notary public be-
fore the examination can be taken,
it will probably be just as easy for
the parent to accompany his boy
or girl to the examination office,
Kennedy says.
Applicants must bring their car
to the examination office in order
to take the actual driving test"

Mr., Wilson said that the pro-
posed acreage plan is @ long range
effort to stabilize potato paintings
so as to avoid wide swings from
excess acreage in one year to in.
sufficient acreage in another.
The plan to include special pro-
gram for potatoes in the 1888 agri-
cultural conservation program would
call for establishing a national ac-
reage goal for potatoes, and of di-
viding that goal fairly between in
dividuals who grow potatoes for
sale. Such national goal if estab-
lished, would be about equal to av-
erage commercial acreage during
recent years. The purpose, he says,
would mot be to reduce acreage, but
to encourage an acreage that eacn
year would be near the adequate
average figure.
Potato growers who kept their
acreages within their goals would
be eligible for special payments un-
der the conservation program. No
payment would be made for reduce
ing below the goal. Deductions
would be made for each acre by
which a farmer exceeded his goal.
The proposed program would not
apply to farmers who grow potatoes
for home use only nor would It'll
apply in counties where few pota-s
toes are grown commercially. In
the counties where the referendum
is being held, all commercial po-
tato growers may vote. If a SUBJ
stantial majority of the county's
commercial growers favor the plan
it will be made part of the 1888
agricultural conservation program.
The proposal was discussed at
the recent meeting of state COM
nlitteemen of the western region of
AAA, and also at conferences of
the other four regions All five of
the conferences were interested in
the plan and favored submitting it |
to commercial growers.

Reserve Fund
is Necessary,
District Told
State Examiner Advises
District To Adopt Con
structive Program.

While the Priest Rapids Irriga-
ton District is in better financial
condition than before, through the
reflnancmg program, there is SER
ious need for a. definite and con-
structive program of improvement,
it was declared in a recent report
by the state auditors department.
on the condition of the local irTi-
cation district
The examination of the districts
financial transaction was made by
P. H. Physeck of the state auditors
department, and covers the period
from November 1, 1885, to February
%, 1887.
According to the report, the re.
financing of the districts bond is
sue by the state and the payment
of all the old indebtedness for
which warrants had never been
issued, have placed the district in
an improved financial condition,
but the large amount of unpaid as
sessnents and low water charge
place the district in a precarious
situation should any serious acct
dent or unexpected necessity for
funds arise
In a summary of the exalnina-.
ttion, the auditor declared:
"This audit for the past sixteen
months shows the district to be in
better financial condition than it
was a year ago, due largely to the
refinancing operations carried on
Through the State of Washington,
which now holds bonds in the am
CUNT of $92,50O.00 issued by the dis
trict in lieu of the old issue out
standing at the end of the last per-
iod.
"Al the old indebtedness for
which warrents had never been
issued, and listed on the last re-
port, have now been cleaned up,
on a reduced basis, warrants have
been issued to cover, and there is
at this time no indebtedness not
covered by warrants. The warrant
debt was about eight thousand doll
lars on February %, 1887, and it
seems very unlikely that this can
be reduced under the present sys-
tenn of management which is levy
ing the absolute minimum of tolls
per acre, which if collected 100 per
cent would still be barely adequate
to operate the system under ire
ducible expenditures, and will allow
nothing whatever for building up a
reserve for repairs, paying off old
warrants and building up the dist
riot so that everyone of the resi-
dents will be benefited.
"AS it is, any serious accident or
unexpected necessity for funds to
operate will find the district en-
tirely unprepared, and might read
lily throw it into bankruptcy. Much
of the equipment both in the pow
er plant and pumping plant is in
serious need of replacement, and
may give out any minute from
sheer age and wear and tear.
"a definite and constructive pro-
gram, based on the necessity and
desirability of bringing the physical
condition Of the districts plants up
to Gate and in good repair, am ex-
tensive effort to sell land to actual
farmers, the establishment of re-
serve fund for additional equip
