DIVERSION CHANNEL
WORK BEGINS SOON
Drainage Men Hold Meeting and
Make Final Plan for Install
ing Machinery

The monthly meeting of the super
visors of the Little River Drainage
District was held yesterday afternoon
in the H. & H. Building.
The meeting was for the purpose Of
passing upon and authorizing the pay
ment Of bills for the previous month,
including pay for the work under the
contracts.
After finishing the routine business,
the Board took up matters with con-
tractors who have not yet begun work
on their contracts, and with the par
ties who have bargained for the bonds
through their representatives who
were present at the meeting.
While nothing definite was reached
concerning the disposition of the
bonds, the impression prevailed that
the bonds would be readily marketable
within a short time, and that money
could be obtained by the use of the
bonds as collateral or that they could
be sold outright, and that in all events
the drainage work would not be delay
ed land that the undertaking will be
completed within the time originally
contemplated.
Final arrangements were made for
the immediate installation Of the new
machinery on the Diversion Channel.
Work is expected to begin Februar'
and one machine will be on the
grounds ready to assemble within the
next two days.

MINE TROUBLE IN COLORADO
-~ STILL HANGS UNSETTLED
Denver, COL, June 23.-Though
nearly two months have elapsed since
U. S. soldiers were sent into the Colo
RADIO strike zone by Pres. Wilson, the
contending factions are no nearer to-
gether than they were during the
bloody days Immediately following
the battle of Ludlow, and leaders of
the strikers are hoping that the plans
or a settlement of the strike being
worked out by U. s. department Of
labor may succeed.
There has been no trouble since the
arrival of the U. S. troops. Both sides
seem to be marking time and
awaiting developments. Under the
regulations issued by. Sec'y of War
Garrison, the operators may employ
strikebreakers, but only those min
ers who apply in person to the super
intendent of each mine. Importation
of men to the mine from any outside
point is forbidden even if it be from
the general Offices of the company.
In the meantime, thousands of
strikers are living in tent colonies and
subsisting on the money, food and
clothing supplied by the United Mine
Workers. -... ...t
The strike will be the overshadow-
ing issue in the political campaign
next fall. Recently the Colorado law
and order party was organized here,

for Office who failed to condemn the
disorders of last spring. ...

Won WALDEN GETS
NEW ARRANGEMENT

Edwin Won Walden, the Cincinnati
youth recently arraigned on . charge
of robbery being armed In connection
with the bold hold-up OF Night Clerk
w. n. Burns. Of the Hotel Metropole.
was hailed before Justice Jeffries
again. Thursday morning on a new
warrant, the old one being withdrawn.
The pro- ecutor was not satisfied with
the old warrant. as II failed to specify
that In connection with the armed
robbery charge. there were certain
threats made.
Justice Jeffries said 1T seems that
the new charge is more comprehen-
ave one. There are many classified
tichs in q robbery charge. Thelprose-
cutor felt that he did not have the
proper classification In the first one.
Also. there Is an additional penalty
for tho threats count in the robbery
charge"
but the limit for robbery being
armed "a life imprisonment" was sug-
gested.
That's So" said the Judge. Maybe
the new count will make the maxi
mum life and ten years..
anyway. Won Walden was arraign-
ed all over again, bail was again set
