No attempt at surprise was ever
carried to a prettier conclusion than
that perpetrated by the students of
the Polytechnic Business College
upon their popular instructor in the
stenographic department Miss Della

All unnecessary furniture was re-
moved from the room and the even

that famous chaperon, Mrs. Haight
and lastly, to a feast of goodies which
had been prepared for the occasion
at Rose Bros
1t is safe to say that but one thing
could mar the intense enjoyment oil
all and that the unconquerable regret
unanimously felt and expressed a
Miss Bayley's departure from oul

The Heaviest Rainfall known in
Ohio.


The continuous doHnpour of
March 1926 in Ohio and Indiana
was by far the heaviest general rain
storm ever experienced in those
states. From the figures now avail
able the general precipitation in the
two states for the four days may be
set down at about 6 inches, ranging
locally from to IL inches. The
normal precipitation for the whole
month of March in the same region
is from 2 to 4 inches. Thus Colum-
bus had four-day rainfall of 60
inches, as against a normal rainfall
for the whole of March Of 3.3 inches.
The wettest March previously of rec
ord at Columbus had only AS inches.
The fall at Cincinnati was 7.5 inch
es; at Cleveland, TO inches. The
greatest intensity of rainfall, amount
ing to from 10 to IL inches, appears
to have occurred across north-cen-
trail Ohio, about on the water-parting
between the two main drainage
slopes, on both of which the floods
occurred.
However, it is hardly necessary to
quote the records of rain gauges
since the floods speak for themselves
occurring, as they did, in a COM
paratively level country, where the
streams are not especially sensitive
to the effects of rainfall. Nearly all
great floods in the Ohio valley are
fed mainly by the eastern and south.
ern tributaries, which flow down
through rugged county, from the
lofty crests of the Alleghanies. The
portion of the Ohio river basin lying
in the states of Ohio and Indiana is
in general, country of rolling hills
sloping back gently to a moderate
plateau, beyond which lies the much
narrower slope draining into the
Great Lakes. It's principal streams
are the Wabash, Great and Little
Miami, Scioto, Hooking and Mus
kingum. The short rivers flowin&
into Lake Erie include the Maumee
Sandusky, Black and Cuyahoga
Some of these northern streams have
great rate of fall, but their catch
ment basins are so small that the
transient floods to which they give
rise are usually unimportant.- From

A Great Competitive Panama Trade

A Great Competitive Panama Trade.
There will be competition, keen
and incessant, for this American ca
nal business. The companies that
are engaging in it are known to the
maritime world as wholly separate,
rival individualities, aloof from rail-
roads, and absolutely dependent
upon the increase of their own sea-
borne trade. Their new ships, built
and building, are of the true deep
sea type, and so must DE their Of
ficers and sailors. Much of our To-
cal coastwise tonnage creeps along
shore. These canal-trade ships will
go boldly out on voyage of $4,000
and 5000 miles, twice the length of a
north Atlantic passage. Every steam
er that swings through the new wa
terway between our eastern and our
western seaboard will be potential
part of our naval auxiliary or naval
reserve. The 26 fine vessels of one
company alone have capacity suf-
ficient to coal and supply the whole
battleship fleet of the United States
on another voyage around the world.

tests of mental alertness. The re-
freshments were served at small ta-
bles in the dining room, which was
decorated with vines, the fireplace
being banked with them. A color
scheme of pink and white was car
ried out so far as possible in the re-
freshments, which consisted of waf-
files and maple syrup, coffee and
homemade candy. AS each guest left

BEER MAY BE SCARCE.
Near End of Book Beer Season Pro-
tects Thirst of Public.

Portland, April 29.-There is a
possibility of the brewers and brew
cry workmen of the northwest going
on a strike. A conference was held
this morning by the brewery owners
of Portland to formulate a PROPOSE
t on to be made to the workmen this
afternoon, and upon the result of
these meetings will depend the issue.
Brewery workmen have made de-
mands for an increase OF pay. which
in some positions would he equiva-
lent to 81 day or more than they
now get. Owners of the breweries
believe that business conditions do
not warrant the advance, and have
stood fast in the preliminary negotia-
tions conducted with the organiza-
tion representing their workmen. A
final proposition is to be made this
afternoon, and the men are expected
to reject or accept it, but before do
ing so no doubt will ask time to con-
fer with the various branches of the
union affected.
Business is not such as to justify
us in making any increases in the
payroll outlay Just now" said a
prominent brewery man. I'VE dc
not think that there will be any
strike. We are negotiating with the
men, pursuant to requests made at
earlier conferences, but so far as /
know all feel confident of being able
to adjust the differences"
Representatives of the workmen
say that the movement is general
throughout the northwest, and will
affect all the breweries Of Oregon
Washington and Idaho, if a strike is
declared. Officers of the brewery
workmen unions are inclined to view
the situation with seriousness, as
they think that the demands made
are reasonable, and will have to be
met before any adjustment will be
possible.
Luckily this trouble arose after
the book beer season was we'll over
thus fully protecting the great and
thirsting public" remarked a beel
connoisseur this morning upon learn
ing of the labor situation.

LIBEL SUIT THROWN OUT
Judge Kelly EXOnerates School Board
From Liability in Diseharg-
ing Teacher.

Salem, Ore, April 28.-Holding
that the school board for this dis
trict in entering on it's records an
order declaring that w. A. Weist
was discharged as principal of the
Englewood school for alleged immor-
ality, was discharging a duty i'm
posed upon it by law, Judge Kelly
today sustained a demurrer to the
complaint filed by Weist asking for
900 for libel.
Weist was dismissed on charges of
misconduct, and contending that the
charges were false and the board un-
warranted in discharging him, he
commenced the libel suit. Judge
Kelly holds that under the law the
board was compelled to enter upon
the records the reason for his dis
missal, and that it could not be made
to answer in damages for something
which the law required it to do. He
further holds that this would be true
whether the charges were false or
true and that, in his opinion, the
members of the board vera not even
liable individually. The case has
created considerable of a sensation
here. In addition to filing charges
against the board, Weist has had
Rev. E. j. Pickering and his wife
Rev. Blanche Pickering, who have
been interested in the case, arrested
on charges of threatening to prose
cute him unless he resigned

Railroad Building in Alaska.

Utilizing the results of many pri-
vate railway surveys, as we'll as the
topographic maps and geologic data
available, it has been possible to lay
north and south, of from 1.13 to 2
per cent at an average cost of con-
struction per mile of from $44,600
to $4,000. The commission be-
lieves that the two main lines recon-
mended will form systems that will
at once advance development in the
territory. The recommendation for
two trunk lines connecting navigable
waters is in accord with the natural
evolution of railway construction.
In new countries the first lines of
communication established are al
ways those built over the main di-
vides and connecting nayiSable wa
ters, and thus serving to supplement
water transportation. 1t is only in
well-settled countries that lines ty-
ing together such transverse systems
and paralleling waterways are built
The industrial advancement which
will follow the building o? the main
trunk lines cannot fail to call for the
extension of many branches to serve
adjacent districts There is no reas-
on to believe that such branches will
not follow in Alaska as they have in
all railroad history, and such exten-
sions will ultimately provide for in
tercommunication between the two
systems recommended.
The unanimous conclusion of the
commission is that this 1873 miles oi
new construction should be under
taken at once and prosecuted with
vigor, under some system which will
insure low transportation charges
and the consequent rapid settlement
of this new land and the utilization
of it's great resources" This nev
construction will connect with line
already built and will give through
transportation to the interior. val
