G. V. Dick, manager of the Brew-

of the screen this week end, that
after Wednesday November 27 there i
would be no showing of movies un-'

In the winter months the atten-
dance falls off to such an extent
that it is not practical to continue
to operate the theatre. It will be
remembered that Mr. Dick did not
operate the theatre last winter fro.m
about this time until the latter part
of January.

Nelson Construction Co., ?f Wen-
atchee has been awarded the con-
tract for surfacing with Crushed
rock a portion of the State Highway!
No. 10. The part of the road to be
resurfaeed is. fro Pateros to about
there miles above Brewster.
A crew is now bu on the rood
about two and one half miles above
town. An extension has been run
from the Washington Water Power
lines to the other side of EUiott's
Fill and two transformers connected
to supply power to operate a rock
crusher and screener. This crusher
and screener is located next to the
bank, on the road about one hundred
yards above the fill.
A gasoline shovel is being used to
widen the road in various places and
to cut down the points of the bank
on the curves. • W3tere washouts
have occurred, the shoulders of the
highway are being built up, making
the roadbed considerably wider.
sources. The principal resources of
them are wood, water, forage, and
recreational facilities. A fandamen-
tal principle in Forest Service ad-
ministration is what is known as
"sustained yield," the rate of utiliza-
tion of timber or forage never ex-
ceeding the rate of growth and re-
placement. Watershed protection is
one of the most important national
forest functions, as the permanency
of water supply, regularity of stream
flow, and prevention of floods in
many regions depend largely upon
the condition of national forest wa-
tersheds. More than 780 cities and
towns draw their water supilies
from watersheds within national for-
ests. The mining laws of the United
States are applicable within the na-
tional forests and the development
of the extensive mineral resources
which these forests contain pro-
:cede without restriction.

they can find a way to make a tight-

WARNS AGAINST
FAKE SOLICITORS
En]'gn Lottie B. Sehell, of the
Salvatio n Army was in .town Monday
and asked that the citizens here be
cautious about donating to any Sal-
vation Ar:ny representative, until
they are shown s or her creden-
tials.
Ensign Schell states that the or-
ganziation has one regular solicitor
i in this territory, and this solicior
carrier proper idenification papers.
War Cries may be sold in this sec-
tionby Wenatehee attimes, but
they are always given special permits
from ,headquarters, and are always
willin to Show these permits. So-
licitors also carry permits from the
local authorities Or 'committee.
Last spring a man with a Salva-
tion Army uniform solicited in sev-
eral small towns in this valley, for
his own perso.nal gain. He had not
been given a permit and consequent-
ly was soon apprehended.
Ensign Schell asks that donations
be given only to the authorized so-
licitor..
7 STATES ABOLISH
ROAD SPEED LIMITS
Seattle, November 28 Seven
states now have discarded motor ve-
hicle speed limits on the open road
ani deal with rural speeds solely on
the basis pf reasonable and proper,
according to the Automobile Club.of
Washington which reports that the
present day tendency is to permit
froster car operation with stricter de-
finition of the term, "reckless driv-
ing."
However, the motor association
finds that in city districts, espec-
ially, where congestion is heavy, the
avelltge llowable: speed is about 20
miles an hour with a reduction of-5
miles at intersections ,while passing
sch0ol or on curves.
Nevada has raised its speed limit
on the highway to 50 miles an hour
but has retained the 20 mile limit in
cities. Alabama, Illinois, Louisiana,
New Mexico, Ohio and Texas have
increased the rural lhnit to 45 miles
an .hour but have retained the av,-
erage lower speods in cities.
Washington now has a 40 mile
limit on highways with 25 mile al-
lowed on city arterial streets, 20
miles on secondary streets and 15
miles at intersections, or at other
points where danger exists.
