CAPTAIN COCHRAN
Hero In PrincetOn's Victory Over Har.
wards Oarsmen-Tlgers' Varsity
Beats Crimson BY Half Foot
On Lake Carnegie.

The following article is an excerpt
from the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can of Friday, April q, and tells Of
the great work done by Captain Rob-
ert Cochran, son of Judge A. NJ. j.
Cochran of this CITY:
Princeton, ~ j., April 20.
Captain Bob Cochran, the lanky
stroke oar of the Princeton varsity
eight. shot his shell over the finish
line ahead of Harvard on Lake Car
negie late this afternoon and won one
of the greatest rowing races ever held
here.
Princeton's margin of victory over
the rs miles course was less than a
foot
There were hundreds in the big
crowd that we're willing to bet that
1t was even less, while the Harvard
men insisted that 1t was three feet. AT
any event, Princeton won and it was
virtually due to the magnificent strok-
ing of Cochran, who was absolutely
new in the pace seat.
Cochran weighs 1853 pounds, but is
bundle of nerves and fight From
the time that he stroked the Tiger
she'll away from the starting buoy until
the crew flashed over the line a win
ner, Cochran was the life of the boat.
Princeton led all the way and vir-
tually won the race in the first quar-
ter mile, when Cochran sent the Tigers
cutting through the lake at a 36 clip.
From the tow path along the canal
1t looked like an even higher stroke.
Harvard also used a SO at the get
away, but there was not the same
snap in its stroke as Princeton's.
Although Harvard had virtually a
veteran crew and Princeton's shell
was manned by only three seasoned
men, the New Englanders could not
win. Cochran, Lee and Gadebusch
were the only veterans in the Tiger
shell, but the entire crew showed ex-
ceptional form for so early in the sea-

IMPORTANT INVENTION
BY LOCAL ENGINEER

w. j. EnEarl expects to leave
Monday evening for an extended
business trip to the east in the in
terest of the Vacuum Carburetor,"
an invention which promises to fill
a great need in the manufacture of
automobiles. A company has been
formed to place Mr. EnEarl's inven-
tion on the market. The new car
buretor is scientific combination
of carburetor and vacuum device
which does away with the additional
expense of the vacuum now en-
ployed in cars having the rear gas
tank. AS large proportion of the
higher priced cars use the tank at
the rear, the field for the EnEarl
patent is enormous. The vacuum
carburetor has been demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the newly formed
company, which is comprised of local
men.

Ja1ler and receive his compensation
from the fees of the office. They
also paid the county Judge a salary
which he was not entitled to receive.
also paid the county clerk and treas
urer sums in excess of their regular
fees and in this manner there was
something like $4,000 souandered
by the old board in thus illegally
paying its officers.
1t is now contended that the acts
of the board were ultra wires with
out authority OF the law. and Mr.
Veerkamp and Mr. Valdez have been
employed to bring action against the
several exotic holders to recover
back this money for the county. 1t
seems that former Treasurer Kendel
has hitherto paid in the amount re-
ceived by him and is square with the

AMERICAN BANKERS MONOPOLIZE
BINDER TWINE

In the Yucatan sisal monopoly investigation at
Washington before subcommittee of the United
States Senate Committee Agriculture and For
estry, testimony enough has already been taken,
chiefly from the monopolys organizers and its
witnesses, to show these facts:
That the monopoly consists of Yucatan gov
ernment agency controlling the sisal and group of
American bankers furnishing the money;
That it absolutely controls the worlds sisal
supply, its marketing and price,
That it has already increased the price from
average of 51A cents pound to 7ss cents
pound and has declared that it raise it to 10
cents, if it choose;
That result of the monopolys operations,
the price of binder twne has been increased by
number of manufacturers from ~ to 212 cents
pound;
That the profits from this increased price will
be taken out of the pocket of the American farmer
and will be divided between few American bank
ers and their associates and 200 Yucatan planters
1t is estimated that the added cost of binder
twine to the American farmer, who must pay all
the monopolys profits will be between So, OOO, 900
and 900 this year.

WHO is THE TAIL THAT
WACS THE ASS?

recent edition of the Monte Vista Tribune
contains erroneous and misleading article con-
corning John H. Bloom, who was formerly resi-
dent of this place and Del Norte.
That the editor of the Tribune would give valu-
able CD editorial space to abuse of a man who has
been away from the valley for twenty years and
who is personally unknown to him, indicates that
some head has evidently been severely raped by
Bloom in days gone by, evidenced by the memory
which goes such distance out of it's way to inspire
a thrust where there is no thought of "come-
back"
This class of journalistic literature is one with
which towards, lurking in the shadows seek
to stab those whom they afraid to face in the
sunlight even terms
1t is safe to assert that John H. Bloom has for
gotten more about politics than was ever held in
the combined knowledge of the Tribune editor and
his informant.
