If Taxpayers Authorize $10,00 Ap
propriation State Will Give Like
Amount and Irrigation
Work Will. Go On.
GOLDENDALE, Wash., Sept. 10.
(Special.) Taxpayers of Klickitat
County will be asked at the primary
election next Tuesday to vote on the
question of a special levy of Jio.oou,
by the County Commissioners, the
money to be used with a like amount
appropriated by the State Road Com
mission In completing the public high
way near Lyle.
If the proposition carries tne roaa
will be built and Samuel Hill's big
Maryhlll Irrigation and fruit tract
project that was abandoned a few days
ago because the commissioners refused
to vote the money needed for this pur
pose will likely be carried to comple
tion. According to present Indications the
levy will be autnorlzed by a decisive
vote. The commissioners say they want
a favorable expression from all the tax
payers In the county before appropriat
ing the money.
Ultimatum Is Issued.
The recent action of the County Com- ,
mlssloners In refusing to make the ap
propriation was the result of an ulti
matum issued by the 8tate Road Com
mission on September 2 and giving the
commissioners until September . 6 to
reach a decision.
The commissioners met September 6.
with Samuel Hill present.- Mr. Hill had
already expended large amounts on
roads through his Maryhlll project and
announced that he intended macadam
izing them. He also stated that- he
would build' a road connecting the
Maryhlll section with the state aid road
between Goldendalle and Columbus. His
work at Maryhlll, It is estimated, will
have cost J500.000 when completed. He
did not ask the county to assist him
In any of this work, but urged that the
110.000 be appropriated so- that this'
project could be continued until Ja mi
ry 1. when the Legislature could Han
dle the matter.
In the meantime a delegation of tax
payers, at the invitation ot Mr. mil.
visited his Maryhlll enterprise and re
turned with a unanimous request to the
commissioners to make the appropria
tion. The commissioners refused. The
following evening the taxpayers held a
meeting, attended by Commissioners
Stone and Morgenson, but the officials
declined to yield.
Men Are Withdrawn.
Mr. Hill then announced his intention
to wtihdraw his force of men and to
abandon his entire project.
The citizens of Klickitat County are
considerably disturbed over the out
come of the affair, as it not only re
moves the opportunity to secure the
construction of a much needed public
highway with convict labor at a nomi
nal cost to the local taxpayers, but it
shuts off a payroll of $12,000 per month,
which was being expended by the Hill
enterprise at the time the work was
abandoned.
Circular letters have been sent to all
the taxpayers urging them to vote for
the levy.

against a car.
The boys who escaped were the flrrt
to reach here and immediately on their
arrival asked where they could find
work picking apples.
Passengers arriving this morning after
their all-nii?ht stay at Cascade Locks
tell of a night of Inconvenience and of
selfishness on the part of several men
who preempted seats on which they slept
while women sat up In the waiting-room
of the station all night. One is wild to
have delivered an address on Socialism
Just before the wreck occurred and
afterward to have stretched himself on
two seats and snored so loudly that he
kept the rest of the passengers awake.
One of fie women passengers is eatd to
have taken a pair of 6Cissors from her
traveling bag and removed a goodly share
of the Socialist's long locks while he nlept.
The outcry made by a woman who.
although accompanied by her husband
and two small children, bewailed the fate
of a dog in the baggage car, attracted
attention. The passenger who placed the
dog in her arms rceived a reward of .
