GOVERNMENTS FAILURE
TO DREDGE RED RIVER
RESPONSIBLE FOR FLOOD

Fargo, n. D., July 21.-The U. S
government has not lived up to an
agreement nine years ago with Red
river valley counties in regard to the
placing of dams and improvement OF
the channel to carry off water from
drainage projects.
This explains present flood condi'
tons. according to H. c. Plumley, who
was active in securing the co-opera-
ton of the government at that time.
Needed Drainage
Mr.. Plumely states 10 years ago it
was decided the valley counties need
ed drainage and the western counties
irrigation.
The matter was taken up with the
government. The work of making a
survey was put in charge Of the chief
drainage engineer. The Agricultural
college in this city also co.operated.
An elaborate system of drainage
was worked out for the valley coun-
ties and the big irrigation project
planned in the Williston country.
Government Agreed.
The report submitted, and after
WdIuS d6Iccu W Ny luC 6ONCIAuCAI'
recommended dams at cerain points
and the channel Of the river dredged
to handle the surplus water without
| danger of overflow.
The different counties in the valley
went ahead and constructed bitches
but the government has done little
| work on the river
| River Can't Handle Water
The result has been that the river
has been unable to handle the i'm
mense amount of surplus water that
rushes into it with every heavy rain
fall and overfiows its banks.
The plans and blue prints of the
work that was planned 10 years ago,
together with the report recommend
ing the work to be done by the gov
eminent, are on file at the county
auditors Office.

liam, of Germany, and one of the
finest Australian opals is treasured
possession of the Duchess of Marl-
borough"
The current superstition about
pearls gets this expert blow:
For years statement has been
going through the press that pearls
are liable to become diseased and
die, and that the famous necklace of
pearls presented by President Theirs,
of France, to his wife, and beQueath-
ed by Nine. Theirs to the French gov
ernment, has lost their luster and
died, perhaps owing to the death of
the owner. For there is an old be-
lief that pearls, as we'll as opals and
turquoises, lose some of their lustre
when the owner or wearer becomes
i'll and change to a dull and lifeless
hue when the owner dies.
IAN examination of the necklace
by the writer showed that the pearls
were in good condition, and to con-
firm his statement to this effect he
had the director of the Louvre Mu-
scum write him letter. In this Of
fetal communication the director not
only states that the pearls had not
sickened and died, but that they were
in as "healthy" condition as they
had ever been.
'The invariable experience of the
writer has been that whenever pearls
have been said to have suffered in
this way the true explanation has
been that they were old and poor at
the time of their purchase, and that
this romance was started on it's trav-
els as an excuse to arouse the belief
that they had been remarkably beau
tiful and valuable when they were
originally acquired"
"A solitary boulder standing on
heath in North Germany is the sub
ject of a curious legend illustrating
the superstitious reverence inspired
by the thunder. Once upon time a
bridal procession was traversing the
heath when a violent thunderstorm
broke out. Taking no heed of this,
the musicians who accompanied the
procession continued to play their
gay and festive music, and as pun
ishment for this lack of respect the
God of Thunder changed the whole
party into an immense rock.
''In the rock of St. Gowan's Chapel
in Wales was a natural cavity upon
which the name of the Expanding
Stone was bestowed by popular tradi-
ton, because the strange fancy pre-
vailed that this stone automatically
adapted itself to the size of anyone
who entered the cavity.
The legend ran, as quoted by Mr..
Kunz, that once, during the Pagan
prosecutions, when fugitive Chris
tian, hotly pursued, reached this
rock it opened up of its own accord
so that he could slip into it, and then
closed about him so as to hide him
effectually from his enemies. This
Expanding Stone was believed to
manifest it's magic power by brin.

anyone who entered it, provided he
did not change his wish while he
turned around within it,

Leo Houck's Team Wins in
Game With Telegraph Five

The Harrisburg Telegraph basket
ball five journed to Lancaster last
evening and met defeat for the first
time this season on the small floor
of the st. Joseph's team, which is cap
tained by Leo Houck, well-known
middleweight boxer. The score was
S6 to 30, but that does not tell the
whole story.
The somewhat overdone strictness
of the referee in calling fouls was re-
sponsible for a large percentage of
the score on both sides, and whatever
speed the local team might have been
able to work up was prevented by re-
peated Interruptions for alleged fouls.
many of which were justified.
Floor work was made almost impos-
sible by reason of the smallness of
the floor. the low ceiling, and the two
poles located in the center of the
floor on direct line with both bas-
kets.
Mike" Yoder. whose reputation as
a center is well established locally,
handled the pivot position for the
Telegraph team and filed it very
capably Gephardt at one of the for
wards did some very creditable foul
goal shooting and Roth and Edmunds
at guard kept the scoring of the op-
posing forwards at a minimum. The
entire st. Joseph's team played a very
good floor and passing game, but their
shooting was ragged, and most of
their scoring was the result of one
pointers resulting from fouls called on
| the local five. Tomorrow evening the
TELEGRAPH team will play in Carlisle.

LOCKWOOD TEAM
FARM FOR LEAGUE
Organization Is Fifteen Years
Old and Has Veteran Man
ager; Stars in Lineup

The lockwood basketball team has
been in the game for fifteen years.
Bobby Winskill is the veteran man
ager. This aggregation is a farm for
the Eastern League.
Every man on the team is a star at
the game. and in addition TO brilliant
individual play. they have developed
splendid team work. one of the main
stays of the team is bill" Butler, the
sensational star of Central High School
OF Philadelphia. Butler. who plays at
guard on the lockwood team, was
captain of the football, baseball and
basketball teams while at Central high.
a short time ago the Rockwoods de-
feated the Freeland State League team
on the Freeland floor and also have
victories over Pine Grove and Allen
town. Some of the best towns in New
Jersey have fallen victims.
Play Regular Lineup
The locals will have their regular
lineup in this game. for McCord has
recovered from the grip and Ford and
Rote have recovered from their in
juries. Every member of the team
will be in condition for hard battle,
and they will try their best to keep the
visitors from walking Off with Il vic
tory.
Captain McCord has the Independ-
ents using the intercollegiate rules in
their practice so that the players will
pass the ball instead of using the
dribble. Most of the victories the
locals have to their credit have been
due to their passing. and McCord is
working to make the passing still
better.

TECH QUINTET
HAS HARD GAME
Will Play at Williamsport To-
morrow Night; Harris Is
Still Out of Game

Coach McConnell's Tech High quin-
tet will leave tomorrow morning for
Williamsport where the team will
play its second game of the week
against the high school team of that
place. The team has been going at
rapid pace since Mcconnell took
mold of the team. and is picked by
many to stand near the top of the lad
der when the Central Pennsylvania
basketball league comes to a close.
The Maroon five is still without the
services of Captain Harris, and the
loss of the game at Lebanon Wednes-
day night can be attributed to a great
extent to this fact. The game at Will
transport will not affect the team S
standing in the league as the Bill
towners are not members of the
league. Next week there will be but
one game. Coach Gotwalt's Middle
town tossers will play Il return game
in the Tech gymnasium Friday night.
Those who will make the trip TO
Williamsport include Faculty Director

Gates that the gate receipts will total
between $4,000 and S25,00O.
The bout was originally to have been
held on December 10, but the illness
of Gibbons made a postpouement nee
essary. He was taken i'll shortly be-
fore the fight and a record advance
sale of $4,000 had been made at that

postponement would hurt the gate re-

taken. for it is said that the bout has
aroused deal of interest in the north

Gibbons is said to he worked up
over the stories circulted by Ahearn

Gibbons was not i'll. but was running
out of the bout: that Gibbons was
afraid to meet Ahearn in the ring
