Under Irrigation

Chester Congdon of Duluth, Mimi,
who is expected here in a few days,
~ now the owner of the acreage at
Beverly formerly held by the Beverly
Investment company and is preparing
to put portion of it under water and
have it ready for planting this year.
Mr.. Congdon purchased the tract at
receivers sale December I s and is now
planning on the expenditure of SEQ

his engineer Otto Weile of Spokane,
who have been in this city for sew
eral days on business in connection
with the tract, started Sunday for Sc
attic to make further arrangements
and will return to Beverly in a day

Is fully expected that a quarter of the
area will be ready by April LIST for

waukee railroad has taken a great in
terest in the proposition as it is on the
main line Of that railroad and at this
time Is one of the very few in the
Northwest that the railway company

Ordinance Passed Monday by City
Commission Spikes the Lid
Down More Firmly
DICE AND CARDS ARE
INCLUDED IN BAN
Dice Shaking in Pool Rooms and
Cigar Stores Has Been General,
and Card Playing for Checks
and Soft Drinks, Also

North Yakima is becoming famous
for the size of it's lid and for the man
ner in which it is being spiked down.
1t may well be said that the lid is on
workmanlike job could scarcely have
been done by a set of riveters from
a boilerhouse mandatory. The city
commissioners continued their already
well established policy on Monday by
passing ordinance No. A So.
The title of this ordinance is "An
gambling and keeping CT gambling
houses and all places where any game
in which chance predominates is play
ed for anything of value, prescribing
a penalty for the violation thereof and
declaring an emergency"
The ordinance as drawn by City
Attorney G.. O. Shumate covers the
ubject like a blanket.
Section one declares it to be unlaw-
full for any persons, firm, etc, to set
up or keep any gambling house where
any game in which chance predom-
mates is ployed for anything of value,
or any banking or other game is
played with cards, dice, machine or
mates is played for anything of value
whether the same is played for money,
checks, credits, property or any other
representative of value or property.
Section two is similar to section one,
but refers to owners, managers,
agents, dealers. clerks or employees
and whether for hire or not, any gam
bling or game of chance played with
cards, dice, etc.
Section three is similar, but refers
to the players.
Section four provides that it shall
be the duty of all police officers to
search for and seize all cards, chips
checks, tables, devices Of whatever ma
ture, etc, and take the same before
the police Judge of the city and if in
the judgment of the police Judge such
articles may be useful as evidence he
may order the same held for such
disposition of any case in which any OF
said articles may be held or used as
such evidence, whether such case re-
suits in conviction or acquittal, the po-
lice Judge shall forthwith order all
such articles destroyed.
Penalty for Violation Is Severe
Any person or persons firm or COR
poration violating any of the provis-
lens of this ordinance shall be deem
ed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof, be fined in any
sum not exceeding $500, or imprison-
ment not exceeding 80 days, or by
both such fine and Imprisonment
An emergency is declared to exist,
and as the ordinance is being publish
ed elsewhere in full in the Herald this
morning, it is now the law of the
city.
While the ordinance was in course
of passage, the remarks CT Mayor
Splawn, Commissioners Rcdman and
Crocker, and City Attorney Shumate
indicated conclusively that they in
tended to wipe out the last vestige
of gambling in the city, more par
ticularly dice and card games in cigar
stores and pool rooms, for almost all
other forms of gambling have beer
pretty thoroughly eliminated hereto
fore, If any person should casually
enquire.

Matter of Acquiring the Panama
Canal Zone Still Rankles in
South American Republic
KNOX NOT WELCOME
IN LATIN REPUBLIC
Chairman Sulzer of House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs Is
Willing to Foment Matters
by Siding With Colombia

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Secretary
Knox will not visit Colombia during
his tour of the countries on the Cario-
bean sea unless there is a special In
yitation from the Colombian govern
ment and this is not expected. This
announcement was made tonight py
acting Secretary Huntington WILSON,
Wilson did not say whether the pre-
diction that no invitation would be
Forthcoming was based on Senior
Ospina's personal letter to him yester-
day or to a continuance of the strain
ed relations between the two govern
ments over the acquisition OF the
PanNma canal zone. 1t is also lnrl-
mated that the state department felt
no especial concern over the action OF
the Colombian minister.
No Insult Is Intended
Ospina, in a statement today dis
claimed any intention of insulting the
United States or Secretary Knox. The
minister said his letter was written to
avoid any possible unpleasantness to
Knox by visit to Colombia. He re-
iterated that the trip was inoppor-
tune, because the people were ag-
erieved over the United States re-
fusal to arbitrate.
Ospina's action found many SYM
pathizers today not only among the
Latin American diplomats but some
members of congress as we'll APP
plauded the move. Chairman Sulzer
Of the house committee on foreign
affairs sided with Ospina in the de-
mand for arbitration
Sulzer Defends Ospina
Sulzer stated on commenting on
the progress of the Rainey investiga-
ton that the Testimony THUS Tar
adduced shows conclusively the ia
king of Panama was the result of g
conspiracy carefully planned and
cleverly executed. 1t cannot be justi-
fed in morals or in law"
Suffers remarks are in conflict
with what is said to be the attitude
OF the state department which con-
tends that the United States was not
a party to the dispute and that the
differences in connection with the af-
fair are wholly between Colombia and
Panama.
1t is believed by some diplomats
that Ospina's communication will be
affirmed by the Colombian govern
ment. Severance of the diplomatic
relations is looked for unless the
United States agrees to arbitrate.

claims to have the original resolu-
ton.
In this connection, McManigal's
confesson is quoted as stating, INC

shop jobs blown up at one time to
make the delegates feel good just be-
fore the meeting of the executive
board. Mcnamara also wanted many
jobs pulled off so as to please the
