Albert S. Hail. manager of the p. 2.
& l.. Co. for the hood River, Mosier
and White Salmon district has lust
returned from the meeting of the man
ayers of the company of the North
west held last week at kennewick,
Wash. He states that no definite
plans have been reached as to the con-
struction and development work to he
done along the White Salmon river.
This work and the laying Of the cable
across the Columbia will probably not
be undertaken until the development is
completed on the Oregon side Of the
river. However the connectio of I he
Dalles and Hood River plants viii give
each an exchange of power which may
be taken advantage of in case of acci-
dent at either place.
Mr.. Hail states that the reports e.
mysterious camps and surveying par
| ties in the White Salmon district does
not concern his company. Reports
come from that district weekly to the
effect that new water rights are beirg

MUSICAL CORPS
SMASHED RECORD

Hammond has a musical organization
that has broken several records.
The Christian church choir has the
distinction of being the largest chorus
choir in northern Indiana, it is absolute
ly self-supporting. the members paying
dues and giving concerts to pay their
director and buy their own music, hav-
ing never received a penny from the
church treasury, and they have the
further distinction OF having had the
largest concert audience ever assem-
bled in Hammond at their first annual
concert Just one year ago.the audience
numbering about 1900.
They will give their second annual
concert Oct. 18th, Eith the assistance
of Alice Geneviev Smith. harpist, of
Chicago, who delighted the immense
audience of last year. and other. to be
announced later and it is expected
| that this years crowd will eclipse that
of last year.

looks on their faces indicated that they
knew that the citizens would be at
work and could not modest them The
crowd caught on to the plan at once
Why do you adjourn until tomor-
row morning. You don't dare do your
dirty business while we are here" were
some OF the things the crowd shouted
in their defiance of the board.
1t developed later today that what
the board members wanted Mankowski
to strike from the records was the fact
that the citizens of the village had
presented petition to the board ask
/ ing for the calling of the special eIec-
ton TO elect city officers.
1t is understood that this is the evil
dence that will prove fatal to their
case when he question of mandating
the board to call this election comes
up in court.

STEWART
PUTS Up A
GOOD SCRAP

Before a crowd of 400 fans at the
Hammond Athletic association last
night Young Stewart, a local boy. best
ed Young Ketchel of Chicago in a ten
round no-decision go.
Hammond admirers OF Young Stew
art were surprised at his clever foot
work and blocking KetchePs ugly up
percut which time and time again he
tried to administer to the local boy for
X. o. But Young Stewart only smiled
and when he saw it coming he either
stepped to one side or brushed the
blow off.
Local fans were given the impression
that Young Ketchel was a wild man
and looked for the Chicago boy 30
make a better showing, but Young
Stewart. trained to the minute. with
his wind good for ten more rounds and
! worked down to sinew and muscle, was
equal to the occasion
Ketchel in all the rounds took the
part of the aggressor and a number
of fans thought he deserved shade
the best in the go. But Stewart was
always on deck with the punches and
clean blows and had his man out
classed in that respect. When it came
to clinches Stewart showed his ability
at infighting and had his man worried.
The fight went the full ten rounds
and Stewart was just fresh at the
end of the go as when he stepped into
the ring. Ole Olson, the x-champion.
was in Stewards corner and admins
tered the head work to Stewart.
The preliminary, six rounds between
Jimmy Thomas and Freddie Moore of
Chicago at 116 pounds. was one-sided
affair and was stopped before the gong
rang in the first round. Moore had the
best of the ARRAY and would have likely
slowed Thomas away in another round
If the match had not been stopped
The semi-windup. eight rounds be-
tween Ruby Hirsch of Chicago and
Johnnie McKenna, an East Chicago
boy. was stopped in the sixth round by
Referee Santry. The contestants
fought at 116 pounds and although Nc
Kenna did not show up very well, this
, being his first fight he showed he
knew something about the game but
was minus the punch. Hirsch was a
clever lad and showed his superiority
over the East Chicago lad.

WILL PAPP
QUIT HIS
JOB NOW?

"A juicy bit of political gossip, in the
way of humor. to the effect that John
Papp of the Standard Steel district
would give up his seat in the city coun-
ell was passed around today, and some
of Papp's closest friends vouched for
it, 1t may be that political advisors
will back John Papp into a corner and
get him to stick" but the councilman
is said to be determined
In the democratic organization John
Papp was always considered a valua-
BILE asset because of his influence with
the foreigners in his district. and his
excuse for the promised resignation is
said to be the fact that had something
better in sight which might take him
away from Hammond
If the rumor proves to be true, it is
a significant fact that Papp's resigna-
tion follows on the heels of that of
Jacob Friedman, the city sealer. 1t is
suggested that the two constituted as
excellent team in a ward as could be
desired, and with one out of the game
the situation would be much like one
of Bud Fishers cartoons with either

Jacob Friedman, whose resignation
goes into effect next Monday, because
he failed to get a salary increase in the
1912 budget, is making plans to move

With both Friedman and Papp out of
the political band wagon in the Standard
Steel Car district, the democratic fences
will eed immediate fixing, but fixed as
might be it will remain an unknown
quantity until after the next election.

HAMMOND TO HAVE
SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK

Hammond is about to take another
forward step by inaugurating the
school savings system, feature of ed
ucation that is old in Germany and
Switzerland. and well established in
some United States cities, among them
a number in Indiana, notably South
Bend.
The board of education now has the
matter under advisement and hopes
through the cooperation of the local
banks to establish what is known as
the Rieman School savings bank sys-
tenn. j. F. Rieman, formerly superin-
tendent of the public schools at Hud-
son, Mich, and now the publisher OF
the smplified banking system, also
hopes to see the local parochial schools
take up this educational feature.
Because of the co-opera ton of the
banks, the system can be introduced
without any cost to the schools pat
rms. The objet is to teach thrift in
youth, and to put a check on the waste
full expenditure of money for those
things that prudence does not dictate
as essential. The school savings bank
is operated on the following plan

Hammond for a public stenographer's
