Midland

A posse of three deputy sher-
lifts and indignant farmers liv-
ing near Midland accompanied
by the bloodhound Torger are
beating the woods on the out
skirts of Tacoma today for an
unknown fiend who attacked a
woman living near the Midland
school.
A report of the attack was
telephoned to the sheriffs office.
The name of the woman attacked
was not given as the informer
hung up before any details could
be obtained.
1t was learned the woman took
a shot at the man as he disap-
peared into the woods without
his hat.
Word from the deputies late
today said that Torger had the
scent and that the race was a hot
one.
The man has about a half hour
start. John Hopkins, Frank
Longmire and @. w. Chilberg are
leading the hunt.

Bill Gives Z. s.
ALI Remaining
Water Power

consisting of the secretaries of
war, interior and agriculture.
1t reserves all rights of the
United States in or over naviga-
BILE streams and their tributaries
and on the public lands and res
ervations, including national
parks and national forests.
1t directs the board to max
examinations and surveys for
works for the storage, diversion
and development of water for
power purposes. and TO build the
necessary power plants, and pro-
coed to operate them and sell the
power to municipalities, manu-
features. railway companies, or
other companies, corporations,
firms or persons, under regula-
tions to be made by the board"
The bill follows closely the
lines of the reclamation act, Gre
ating in the treasury a special
fund to be known as the water
power development fund" to con-
sist of an initial amount of $780,
100000, to be raised by a 3 per
cent bond issue.
Rates to BE Fixed.
The rates to users of power are
to be fixed by the board at such
figure as will produce revenue to
maintain and operate the plant;
pay to the state, county and other
Inao1 M txftt In,
jurisdiction the plant is located,
an amount in lieu of taxes "equiv-
alent to the local current tax rate
for such classes of property, but
not to exceed 3 per cent of the
assessed value; to pay the inter-
est on the bonds and provide a
sinking fund for their redemption
in rs years; and TO accumulate a
development fund" which will
be used to develop new projects,
until eventually all waterpowers
owned by the government are in
operation.
The bill Is designed not
only to furnish cheap power
to consumers all over the
United states, but to provide
the government with power
for its own uses, such as the
construction of nitrate plants
which would be necessary I'm
war time to manufacture
powder, and which could be
used in peace to produce fer
tilizor.

On August 10 the British liner
Arabic was torpedoed by a German
submarine and several Americans
were drowned. A lively diplomatic
controversy followed, and the tension
In the United States was at the break
ing point. On September z the Ger
man government notified the United
States that the captain of the subma-
rine had torpedoed the Arabic in self
defense, believing that she was about
to ram him. On September 8 the
United States asked Austria Hungary
to recall Doctor Dumba, its ambassa-
dor, charged with being active in a
movement to cripple American manu-
facture of munitions. On October 5

the act of the submarine captain who
sank the Arabic. At this time it was
