IsHPEMING HILL HAS RECORD.
Jump Of 40 Feet Not Equaled in Any
REGULAR Ski Meet.

Jump OF l4O Feet Not Equalieo IN ANY
Regular Ski Meet.
The standing leap OF 40 feet. made
by August Nordby OF Superior on
the Ishpeming hin washington's
birthday, was the best jump that has
ever been made i'm this country in a
regular ski tournament. The jumps
on the whole were the best that have
been made in the United States this
winter. There were fewer falls ana
more long leaps than have ever been
recorded at a tournament in this city.
At a practice tournament, held n few
weeks ago in Duluth, one of the rid
ers was credited with a standing jump
of 144 feet, but in the tournament two
weeks later this record was not APP
preached by ten feet or more. and
practically all of the best riders I'm the
Northwest participated. The predic-
tion that the American record would
be broken at the national tournament
at Coleraine last week was not veri-
fed. as the longest standing jump was
made by Barney Riley. who cleared
1875 feet, one foot more than was made
by one of the professionals.
The record by both the amateur and
Juveniles participating in the contest
here Tuesday will doubtless stand for
some time. The leap of 131 feet with
out falling made by Charles Tall the

A special to the Arkansas Ca
zette Sunday from Mammoth
Spring, in giving an account Of
the drowning Of Alvin White, the
l5-year-old son Of j. II. White Of
Mammoth Spring, states that
Congressman W. A. Oldfield Of
this city was riding in his auto
mobile, accompanied by Clarence
e, Kay, his secretary, and was
passing the scene Of the accident
at the time the boy was drowning
and the account tells further of
Mr., Kay's brave and noble effort
to rescue the lad, The part Of the
account relative to Mr.. Kay's at.
tempt to rescue the drowning lad,
and Of his being Congressman
Oldlield's secretary, is correct,
but just how the correspondent
was able to have Congressman
Oldfield on the scene, when at the
time he was at his homo in this
city, and how ho had "Billy'

he never at any time owned one,

tention to the fact that Of all the
sums Of money appropriated by

fifteenth comes to the southern

all the bad habit congress has
fallen into.

There is every indication that
proposed amendment No. 10 will

The republicans opened their
campaign of the state at Ozark

their most prominent men in the

publicans is dishonest elections
the same cry that has been
heard for so many years.
