THROUGH ARID DISTRICT Of CENTRAL WASHINGTON ' "By Fred Locklef. E STARTED from Ooldendale, After an early luncheon, and pro ceeded northeastward, through country of gently rolling- hills. A U mile ride brought us to : the Rock Creek canyon. Here the road - ing aoutnward on: A long; gradual C per cent grade, crosses a ahort bridge ami ewlnga northward out of the can- yon. vn a epienciiqiy oonatruoiea roaa. . .Nowhere, la the grade over I per cent "This simply demonstrates," said . Samuel -.Mill. 4 "what can be dona any . where In Oregon or Washington. There - la no ecy for the old type of IS per . ccoc, it per cent, ana oven 10 per cent gradee. They are norae killers and i i bar to the settlement of the country." ; We paaad through Cleveland, grad i- vally climbing until we reached Bickle- ... the last 35 or 40 miles we had climbed some, as Goldendala has an elevation of only 1660 feet At Bickleton the sljrn I board at the crossroads had been palnt- ed over and no new sign painted on. We Inquired of the school teacher, who dl i rected us to take the left hand road to t go to Mabton, v - "I would like to be made superintend- I'- ent- of public Instructions for one day." f aid Mr. Hill. -.''I would see that there ' was a special course Added to All the ' schools, of local geography. Bo few chil dren or teachers are able to give intel ligent ; direction about the roads in i their own , neighborhood. Whether it ' comes from A lack of clear thinking or i' irom a lack of definite knowledge. I do " not know, but the fact remains that very few people are able to tell you j clearly how to reach A certain destina- tion." In this case, the road became dimmer 5 and dimmer until w finally found our f selves In a farmer's front yard. He told l- us of a short cut to the county road by j opening a gate and going through a plowed field. His directions would have . been good for a wagon, but they were ( worse than useless for an automobile. I In place of twinging to the eaaV we struck a road which worked almoat north and put ua on the crest of tha Mabton hill. ' The Mabton hills ar composed t of fine flourlike dust, sagebrush and I Jack rabbits. In about equal proportions. 1 The machine -was soon In difficulty with : the high centers. We left the automo bile and walked down the hill, while William felt his way down through the taaebruBh. From the crest of tbe hill : the Yakima valley spread out like aome vast , checkerboard J, Whose ; Alternate squares were fields of alfalfa, orchards, - gardens, and her and ' there a ' square . still la the sagebrush, y, ,' r , , A ft reeling Ua Wat. U --f ' We reached Mabton at dusk,' took on more gasoline, lit our .headlights and - felt our way onward to 8unnyalde," t say "felt our way" advisedly, aa we I I 'J''' II i ' I lit:, r - - s ' L ' fc , 1 4 H J k . -x- , !

The next two hours waa a rev elation of the richness of the Yakima valley. For miles we traveled over amooth, well made roads between orch ard literally bent to the ground by their weight of fruit, the red apples gleaming .amidst th green , lea vea the hundreds of fruit boxes scattered throughout the orchard, gave some Inti mation of the fertility of the Yakima valley. Here and there waa a field that looked Ilk the middle west with its com In the shock and the yellow pumpi kln gleaming on the ground. Soon the first, rays of the rising aun turned the scene Into a very fairyland with the sparkling frost glittering like diamonds. Dainty splderwebs, stretched from stalk to sta.lk in the atubble, looked like silver cables In miniature. From a bunch of tim ber near a atreara came A whiff of odor that took one back to hla boyhood. It was the mingled odor of camp nmoke, buok akin and Indians. Aa we rounded the corner, wis aaw a group of tepees by the stream from which ascended thin epira'a of blue amoke. A bad rut in the road coupled with the strain that the automobile had had in coming over the high centers of the Mabton hilla, resulted In a broken clutch collar and we left William with the machine while we walked in the half mile or so to Toppenlsh, "Don't worry about " me, Mr. H1U." said William, "Sam put In aome pork sandwiches for me. .When yoa get to Toppenieh Just seod out another ma chine to haul pie in," The tnaohlne waa soon hauled In and on board the train on lta way to Seattle, A long distance meeaage to Goldendala started another machine over so that we could continue our Journey. "You are seeing what I want you to see," said Mr. Hill. "Both good roads and bad. When the American public realUo the coat of bad road a anl the wear and tear on horse flesh, the 'breakage of wagons arid -decreased amount that can ( be hauled and the loss of time It takws . .... . ... . . I.. 10 move tneir gooas, mora wui vo further need of preaching the good road aroanel or urslna people to aban don the patchwork . eyetem of . ro4 niaklnar. Mr. Hill went with the machine to Seattle to secure the .necessary repalra for the machine. We put In tbe day at Toppeniah very profitably by taking trip with Fred Wiggins. Charles Atwood and William Shearer in Mr. Shearer-a Toppeniah is located at tbe edge f the Yakima .Indian reservation and is in the varjuheart of tUo- YaWma valley; bhe of :th4f largest hursea in' tlie west Is located at Toppenluh. . Mr. Shearer, in whoae machine ,wa were making tho trip, s operating a 1700 gore alfalfa ranch. A good deal of the Indian land la leased by the whit men on five year leases which are usually renewed upon tne aama terms for additional periods of five years and alfalfa la be ing raised on the Indian land. Most of the deoded land la at once put In or cnara. . Toppeniah is O rowing, Toppeniah in the last ' five or a'x yeara has grown from a little Indian trading point to a well built city of stone And brick. ' During'the afternoon Mr. Hudson ar rived from ; Qoldcndala with another automobile so that wo might continue the trip. Mext morning w started bright and early aorosg the Indian reservation and ovar the filmcoa moun tain. No better proof could, be had of th merits of the all the year round read than a trip across the Simcoes. Their aummlts were covered with snow while summer still lingered in the val ley beiow. "'V iv." :-vv wtiat Mr. JHuason oouiant do wit.'i his machine wasn't worth ' doing, but when the ru waa ca.iea artor soma particularly bad bump,, It always devel oped that we were all there. Mr. Hud aoivwas formerly in the-racing came. He still tiolls the record for S00 miles made in J19 minutes or a four mile dirt track in Cheyenne. ' : . 1 "After soma years of racing," aaid Mr, Hudaon. "I worked-for the Chal mere company on endurance testa with their care. My Job for two or three years was to find the worst roads in Colorado And eUewhere, to show what their car could stand. A photographer would come along t take pictures of the kind of roads we encounter After tnt experience so road seems very bad to me. I next took up air- ship flight but my Instructor wart killed and my wife made me give up that work." On the west 'aide Of the Simcoes the anew had ' turned to rain so we slid, swam, bumped and akidded down the grade, making the 65 miles from Toppenlsh to Goldendala between break fast and luncheon. . ; xt article - Trans-Biver Terr arecessary X4ag In Xlghway Chaim, Tb rough Rates In Effect rSalrm Bnreu of Tlu Jeuml,) .

This action' was taken aa a result of the requests from tha Multnomah Typographical union that the appoint ment or Mr, Plimpton be canceuea on the ground that he 'waa not legally qualified under the prevision of the law, wnicn agya that tbe seoretary or tn board1 must have five years' experience in tne art or printing. . xna meniDer or the board took the view that Mr. Plimp. ton'a experience in the printing bualneaa met this requirement and that he wee amply qualified for the position.
