Scott ft Bower, bi.oiutcld. N. J.
A feature of Wahir.gton state high-:
way development that interests A. U.
Moe, back la?t week from an automo
bile tour to Dayton, Wash., ia the trend
toward more permanent construction.
" I find." says Mr. Moe. "that the
Walla Walla county court, working in
cooperation with the Washington State
Highway Commission, proposes future
Mad bases of solid concrete from six
inches at the edges to a thickness of
six and a half inches at the center.
The base is to be treated w ith a sur-:
facing of asphalt. It is stated that
the constantly increasing weight of ;
motor trucks w ill break dow n the base i
of any lighter construction. The dis-;
tricts around Walla Walla have had ex-
perience w ith macadam, and it it is ;
already going to pieces. The new trend
w ill end macadam construction. "
Mr. Moe, accompanied by Mrs. Moe:
and their son, Mark E. Moe just back '
from service overseas and daughter, j
Miss Frances, journeyed to Dayton for
a visit with Mr. Moe's brother, Harry I
G. Moe. I
"Information at hand before start- j
ing," says Mr. Moe. "indicated that
the roads tf eastern Washington were j
preferable to those of the Oregon side, i
We would have crossed over from here '
to White Salmon, but the ferry started j
too late in the morning for our connec-!
tions, and we journeyed over the Mo-:
sier hill grade to The Dalles. j
"Indeed, we returned the same way, !
for we heard that the road between !
Lyle and White Salmon was full of
chuckholes, and the motorists have j
their choice of a rough dusty route or a i
steep mountain road. Because of the j
indefinite night service of the Hood j
River-White Salmon ferry system, we I
chose the hill route. Ihe Dalles (.irand-
dallies ferry runs at any time day or
night, a feature that is very convenient '
for the transient motorist.
The distance between Hood River
and Datyon is about 260 miles. Mr.
Moe gives the following log of his
journey.
t rom (.iranddalles up over the hill
to Centerville is a 12 mile climb. The
grade, however, is not steep, and the
roau is good except for a few rough
places. The distance from Granddalles
to Goldendale is 30 miles. From Gol-
edndale to Bickleton, 38 mlies, the go
ing is fairly good. No bad grade. The
worst feature is found climbing down
and up a two-mile long canyon on about
a seven per cent grade. Near Bickle
ton the maximum elevation of about
3.0(H) feet is reached. "From Bickle
ton to Mabton, 2i miles, the road grad
ually descends. The only really bad
road of the journey is encountered for
about 10 miles between these two
places. For five miles the route is al
most impassable because of chuckholes
and dust-filled ruts a foot deep. The
only thine to do is to drop to low gear
and crawl along. Several steep pitches
encountered aggravate the trouble.
The old bugbear known as Mabton hill,
formerly encountered here, has been
eliminated by a new grade of from five
to seven per cent, comfortably wide,
laid out by the state.
"At Mabton we struck the Yellow,
stone trail, connecting Walla Walla
with Seattle, by way of the Yakima
Valley. This road is in good condition.
It has been graveled, and provides for
fast traveling the 64 miles distance to
Kennewick.
"From Kennewick to Wallula one
has the choice of two routes. He may
go to Hover, fourteen miles down the
Columbia, or ferry across to I'asco and
then ferry across the Snake, four miles
belew. The road down to Hover on
the west side is good, but it is very
sandy on the opposite side. Motorists
making the journey, however, should
ascertain, by telephone before leaving
Kennew ick if the Hover ferry is run
ning. A heavy wind interferes with
its operation, while the Kennewick
Paseo ferry and that across the Snake
river operate at all times.
' The distance from Kennewick to
Wallula is 17 miles. That from Wallu
la to Walla Walla, .'10. Between the
two Inst named points, except where
two miles are under construction the
going is good. About 10 miles out
from Walla Walla one is pleasantly
greeted by pavement. The distance
from Walla Walla to Dayton is 31
miles. It is on this route that one finds
why the state and county road building
authorities are advocating concrete
bases. A stretch of macadam built
three years ago is going to pieces. The
first lour or live miles is full of holes.
The rest of the way to Dayton, while
holding up better, is soon going to be
in a very bad shape."
Mr. Moe says that he was told while
at Kennew ick that parties of Washing
ton State Highway engineers had been
trying to locate an extension of the
Evergreen Highway, to extend at a
low altitude the entire distance from
White Salmon, Wash., up the big bend
to Kennewick. Many obstacles from
sand deposits and the contour of the
country are encountered, but officials
are hoping to locate the route that way
in order to avoid the high altitudes
necessitated in crossing the ridge along
the river. The river route will be
open the year around, while the inter
ior road would be blocked by snows in
winter."
"The eastern Washington grain belt
are very prosperous," says Mr. Moe.
"The harvest is on, and wheat ranch
ers expect handsome returns. I.aoor
is high, wages ranging from $5 to
$7.50 per day. While we were at Day
ton we saw a kiddie, they said he was
11 years old, drive up in a big wheat
wagon. He had to stand on a box, and
then his chin just came over the edge
of the wheat rack, but he was handling
a four horse team like a veteran
They told us he was drawing $1.50 per
day. The Yakima Valley orchards in
the Mabton and 1'rosser sections
seemed loaded with fine fruit, as are
the orchards of the Walla Walla dis
trict." Nickelsen is For Ratification
"I'm neutral," said ,1. R. Nickelsen,
just back home after an outing with
his family at Cannon Beach, when
asked about his stand on a special ses
sion of the legislature for ratification
of the woman suffrage amendment.
"Understand," said Senator Nickel
sen in explanation, "I would vote for
the ratification, but I am not so eager
for the special session as to try to
persuade some of my fellow legislators
to accompany me down to Salem. If
the majority of them want to go, then
I will join them and pay my expens
es." Mrs. Chas. Castner is strongly in
favor of the special sessions with
members paying their expenses.
An Old Fault Finder
An irritable and fault finding dispo
sition is often caused by indigestion.
A man with good digestion and bowels
that act regularly is usually good nat
ured. When troubled with indigestion
or constipation take Chamberlain's
Tablets. They strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions
naturally. They also cause a gentle
movement of the bowels.
While representatives of British im
porting firms express strong optimism
over the lbli apple deal, a general m
denrate condition of action on the part
of the British Food Ministry, it is
stated, makes the present pureha.-e i.f
apples purely a simulation. During
the past week Northwestern sales
agencies have received from the
I r.ited States Bureau of Markets re
iuests for prices of sales that have
already been confirmed. It is believed
that this action on tne part of the
United States Government results
f'om requeits for information from
the British Fotid Ministry. England,
it is said, hupes to escaie the condition
that prevailed last year, when the
markets were flooded with poorer
stocks that sold at the maximum fixed
price. By securing an idea of the
values as they exist on the American
domestic markets, the British Ministry
hopes, it is thought, if price control is
to be continued, to arrive at a maxi
mum that will secure the importation
of the better class of fruit.
Under the existing exchange a pound
sterling is no longer worth J4.n, but
has declined to $4. t0. Under the con
trolled price of apples the maximum
for a liox of apples, under the rules
that have been applied, would le
$4.55. If apples were purchased at $2,
f. o. b. Northwestern shipping points,
the maximum profit to the exporter, it
is jointed out would not exceed 55
cents under existing conditions. And
if cars were iced or heater service
were employed the profit would be cut
to a negligible percentage. Respec
tive items of cost in delivering a box
of apples to England are given as fel
lows: Transcontinental freight. 75
cents, handling charges, 10 cents;
ocean frieght, 85 cents ; insurance, 5
cents and dockage and incidental
charges, 25 cents.
There is growing feeling that price
control may be abandoned in England
by the time the apple harvest is on.
The British Isle fruit crops, which are
declared to be in excess of anything
comprehended in America, are said to
be better than early season estimates
indicated. Weather conditions have
been good, and the south of England,
it is declared, will harvest a heavy
tonnage of fruit. Even if price con
trol is continued, it is thought that a
different schedule of prices will be
mainlined for fruits of different
grades.
MRS. MEYERS DIES

Prizes for Overseas Stories
Nearly every lad who went overseas
has an interesting story to tell -pathetic,
amusing, or tender -of some
child in France. 1'erhaps it is little
Pierre who crept in to eat with him at
mess; or Marcelline whom he found,
white-faced and terror-stricken, in the
cellar of a ruined house; or Henri,
w hose father was killed in the trenches
and whose mother was taken to Ger
ninay by the enemy ; or it may have
been Aimee who insisted upon being
adopted by the "Americaine." At any
rate, there is alwavs a stnry and a
eh, II.
1 or such stories as these, or simple
ones telling of the friendship between
the French child and the American fol
dier, 178 cash prizes are offered. Sol
diers, sailors, marines, men and women
who were in France during the war in
any capacity, or their families, sweet
hearts or friends, are invited to com
pete for these prizes. Literary ability
is not required. Anybody who can
write a letter home can write well
enough for the purpose of this contest.
Conditions of the contest can be secured
by writing "The Fatherless Children of
France, room 634, 411) S. Michigan
ave., Chicago."
There is no expense attached to en
tering the contest, w hich is open to
anybody who wants to compete. Moth
ers, sisters, sweethearts and wives
should turn over their letters from Bill
or Tom or Jack which they have been
so proudly treasuring and hunt up the
references to the little Fren.'h children.
Just some one little incident told sim
ply in a letter may win a prize.
Two Divorces Granted
Two women, Mrs. Bernace V. Alex
ander and Mrs. Lola J. McDonough,
were granted divorces Monday by Judge
Wilson. The latter was given permis
sion to use the name Mrs. Lola J. Bai
ley, that of a former marriage.
Both plaintiffs alleged cruel and in
human treatment on the part of their
husbands. Mrs. Alexander declared
that her husband, Reed H. Alexander,
dined sumptuouf ly at restaurants, while
she suffered in want at home. The
couple, married in The Dalles in 1911,
formerly resided in Ellensburg, Wash.
The complaint alleges that Mr. Alexan
der refused to grant the plaintiff an
allotment on entering service, claiming
that he was a divorced man.
Her husband, Harry J. McDonough,
Mrs. McDonough claimed, was formerly
a logging camp cook and conceited over
his culinary ability. He twitted her,
she said, about her cooking and mis
treated her children by a former mar
riage. They were married at Mosier.
