Owing to the fact the summer nor mal school is drawing to a close with the result teachers are no longer available for supervising playground work the program of supervised 'ploy In Pendleton comes to an end this evening. "I am convinced from the experi ment this summer that, supervised playground work can be carried on very successfully in Pendleton," said Superintendent Jniow this morning. The full success of the move, how ever, calls for providing regular play ground., to be used for that purpose 'exclusively and to have them under I the direction of paid Instructors dur. ing the summer." This vesr the playground work was carried on with the grounds at hand and wit rout expense for supervision..

The cen tral soviet of Moscow, has decided to release all Americans Interned in Rus sia, In aecordange with the American demand that such prisoners must be released before famine relief would he extended, has been reported here. 200 local children were reached. The attendance has fallen off during the hot weather but this Is partly attrib uted to the conditions under .which the work was handled. Mr. Inlow Is of the belief that If given a real chance the playgrounds would attract 800 or 400 children for two periods of play dally. Though supervised play comes to an end- this evening It Is announced that H. J. Kirby will he continued as a spe cial officer to be on duty at Pioneei park during the evenings. The Idea is now suggested that be fore next summer the city provide regular playgrounds. In the Round 'p park and the block oil Joining the Cntholic church the city already has property available and which can be fitted IIP for the work at smull ex pense. On the north side ihere Is hope a portion of Pioneer park may be secured. If so It will be possible to arrange permanently for supervised play in Pendleton and comparatively trifling expense. This will he partic ularly so because of the fact local teachers serve on a 1 2 months basis and hence their services may be har1 during the summer for playground supervision If desired. Two play grounds might be found sufficient for the city, however. It is believed the newly appointed city planning commission will be an agency through which steps may h taken to insure permanent playground work here.

J. 8. HARVEY HELIX, July 30. Cabbage HUH. which has gained in popularity so rap idly during the months that have elapsed since the construction of the macadam road over the Old Oregon Trail, had better be on guard in the future, or the prestige It has gained is likely to be dimmed when the public becomes aware of the view that is af forded of strips of two states from the hill up Vancycle canyon, north of here. Fred H. Moes, cashier of the Ban:: of Helix, Harry Rose, proprietor of The Rose store, and Claud B.irr and 1 had the pleasure of visiting the scenic point yesterday. On the way out, Moes, who is a Helix booster from the word go, told us that we would find the view a better one than is afforded of the Inland FJnpire from Cabbage Hill, and we laugher, tolerantly. Moee laughed, too. and then bade us wait and see. We waited, and we saw, nnd we were convinced. Then Moes had a laugh on us. ' . An Vppcr Columbia Swne A' narrow strip of Oregon wheat fields, and a wide. strip of Washington including the Walla Walla valley, and to the- nOrtlClts rolling' 'hills, -make rp a panorama that will hold the eye and leave nn impression of beauty not soon to be forgotten. Far any to the left, through the gentle haae that hovered ove.r the scene, we saw the broad expanse of the Columbia as it curves a little to the north, and to the right of the river, the outlines of the waste lands of Horse Heaven are visible. The locality of the site of Wallula and Touchet could he seen, ton, but in the haze, their exact locations could, not be de termined. ( Directly In front, we saw the Walla Walla valley, and the green of its irri gated alfalfa lands made a vivid con trast to the wheat lands that are be tween, and that stretch away from the far side of the green strip in undulat ing waves now covered with ripened grain. To the right, we could see the site of Walla Walla, hut the buildings, which can be seen on clear days, eluded our closest scrutiny. When atmospheric conditions are right, Moes told ns that the Whitman statue can be seen. Be hind Walla Walla and to the right, the vague outlines of the Blue Mountains are visible, 75 miles away. Want Improved Road Now Helix people know of that won derful view and they appreciate It for its full worth, and they want the world to see it and share in the enjoyment that It affords. The trip to. Walla Walla, from Pendleton to tourists Is Just a wee mite closer by going through Helix and up the Vansycle canyon road than it is on the paved road, we were told, and the view is an inducement that travelers would find a joy. The present road, except a stretch of three miles just outside of Helix, is not macadamized as yet, and a desire to Improve the present highway Is one of the ambitions that hustling Helix wants to realize as quickly as possible, The community has done mighty v.ell on roads so far, and the spirit of the farmers and townspeople alike Is In favor of more of them. Tho road trom the Pendleton-Walla Walla road to Helix Is ail macadam now, nnd the part that has been longest laid Is the best stretch of macadam In the county that Barr and I have been over in our tour of the county. The newer road has not had a chance to settle, and It Is, constructed of coarser gravel. Pay Cash Vr Roads Helix hns nn effective method of getting roads besides prevailing on the county court. It digs down Into Its pocket and raises cash to insure the improvements. Two strctclies of three mites each have recently been com pleted. One is north of town which we traveled over yesterday, and the other is west of town. The farmers did the grading work with their own teams, and the county laid the gravel. Six thousand dollars were spent In the construction of the stretch west of the town. So Helix has made a start, Init the progressive spirit of the town and the hustling farmers will not he quiet- j eri until the nroi;riiii 1st extended nnd! a road north to the stale line is added ; to the present system. They want that road, and from the quiet, deter- j mined air with which they are going about It, the chance are that they will reallxe" their ambition.

At Helix yesterday Judge Schannep, Commissioner Dunning, Commission er Bean and Road master Hliannon were told of the desire of Helix peo ple for a road connecting their high way with the Wallula road near Tou chet. To get this road would require about 12 miles of improved road by Umatilla county and it Is understood the Washington work will be forth coming If this county acts.
