Burke waited and drew his pay, amount

ANkENY WILL GET POSITION
is ALMOST SURE OF CHAIRMAN
SHIP OF THE SENATE IRRI-
CATION COMMITTEE.
He and Fulton are Making Hard Fight
for Vacant Place on Commerce
Committee

AS the situation now stands it
looks as if Senator Ankeny would Sc
cure the vacant position on the COM
merce committee formerly held by
Senator Foster of Washington. Ankeny
and Fulton have been making a neck
and neck race for this place, and late
ly several influential senator's have cast
their support on Ankeny's side, large
ly because the place was held by
Washington in the last congress and
they believe it should ga to that state
again, is the report that comes from
Washington City
Senator Fulton, however, has not
abandoned hope that he may secure the
coveted position. The fact that Wash
ington has representation on the river
and harbor committee in the house is,
gument in favor of giving the senate
vacancy to Oregon. This vacancy may
not be filled until just before the COM
mittee on committees makes it's re-
port the last of this week or the first
of next.
Senator Ankeny appears to be sure
Of the craftsmanship of the irrigation
committee, while Fulton is about as
certain to become chairman Of the
claims committee.

Jumbo at the Mission Theater.

There's a man from Arizona at the
Mission Theater this week. He is full
blooded Cocopah Indian. Friends call
him Johnny" others John Middle Sky,
and the kid in the streets, Jumbo" The
last name is more descriptive and suits
him best He is Jumbo, sure Proud
of the fact, evidently, for he holds his
head well up, good seven feet from the
ground. He anchors this tremendous
height by dead weight of 455 pounds
When he goes in the door he goes In
sideways for his shoulders are too broad
for the average house entrance. When he
sleeps he stretches out on the floor for
there is no bed in the city big enough to
hold him. John Middle Sky is neither a
freak nor a monstrosity. He is only a big
chubby-faced Indian, a man with the
strength of an OK and /the simple mind
of child.
Jumbo comes from the Yuma reserva-
ton in Arizona. For years he has up
held the strong arm of the law In the
turbulent community and one can easily
guess with what success he has met as
an upholder of peace and order. To-day
he is one Of the strongest attractions al
