GETS JAIL SENTENCE
Jimmy Smith of Great Falls, Mont.
Who Charged Greeks $500 Each
for Jobs, Gets Into Trouble

ment agency out at Great Falls, Mont,
The Great Northern wanted a number
of Greeks to work in the vicinity of
Minot. Jimmy hired them but said
that he would have to charge them
three dollars apiece for landing the
jobs, as he had to give two dollars per
head to the company. Of course Jim
my was stretching the truth and the
Greeks learned this after arriving in
Minot. One of them demanded his
three simoleons back. Jimmy laughed
at the fellow and struck the Greek.
Jimmy was arrested, given ten days
in jail and fined $500. The other
Greeks have pooled their interests and
are suing Mr.. Smith for the return of
their money.

ENGINEERS REPORT
Is NOT PLEASING

The recent report of the Engineer
Corps Of the United States Army,
transmitted last week to the members
of the commercial organization by Ma.
jor Arthur Williams, of Portland, to
the effect that the proposed dredging
of the mouth of Hood river was not
feasible because of the heavy expense
that would be incurred, is not pleasing
to the Commercial club. Despite the
unfavorable report from the federal
engineers, the club members at their
annual meeting Monday night. decided
to proceed with plans that look toward
an unltimate opening of a channel
through the sandbar that has formed
north Of the city.
In his annual report, R. E. Scott ex-
presses the opinion that the proposal of
dock east of Hood river and reached
by piling will not be for the best inter.
ests OF the city. The clubs plans of
opening the old Hood river channel
would bring the wharves close 10 the
business district Of the city. while the
government plans would take the dock
nearly half mile from town.
Secretary Scott announced at the
meeting that plans were under way
that would render the club free from
debt at the beginning of next wear.
New members Of the board of direc.
tors elected were: W. L. Clark, j. M.
Culbertson, c. j. Calkips and C. c.
Lennon. They succeed R. B. Perioo

PRESIDENTS TRAIN
 BACKS INTO CROWD
Several Children Fell Under Coach at Grinnell, Ia., But Were Dragged
 Out Unhurt.

Grinnell, Ia, Feb. 2-President Wilson's special train backed into a crowd of 5000 persons at the railway station yesterday and knocked down half a dozen children, several of whom fell under the train and be- tween the rails. They were dragged out unhurt before the wheels reach ed them.
 The president was on the back platform at the time just about to shake the hands of a baby held up to him by it's mother. The smile on the presidents face gave way to a look Of alarm. He strengthened up and shouted. "Stop the train!" Na- tiona1 Guardsmen and secret service men on the platform threw back the crowd. Most of those directly in the pathway of the train were women and children. The sudden backward motion of the train was caused, it is said, by the engineer taking up slack to get a start The train backed fully twenty feet before it was brought to a stop.
