Ice Gorge Caused Water to Overflow
Highway.

Saturday afternoon when the Branch
broke up an ice gorge was formed near
Ira Ingram 5 which turned the water
over the wall and into the road near
Mrs. Alice A. Bailey s. The water
filled the road from wall to wall. There
was a strong current, making it i'm
possible to cross until sometime during
the night, when a channel was forced
through by the water, relieving the
Watery condition of the highway Dur
ing the time it was flooded the high
way was under water from the point
where it came into the road to the
stone bridge, except the higher por-
lions on the island. The stage carrying
United States mail between Williams
vile station and East Dover was OBJ
liged to go through the Parish, as did
other teams between this village and
Williamsville. Sunday morning the
road was clear again for travel. the ov-
erfow not being due to extremely high
water, but to the ice gorge which held
/ it back.
Bingham Brothers mill pond was
much enlarged for the time, and cakes
of ice left near their mill show the
area covered.

REPUBLICANS AND THE U. S.
SENATORSHlP

The denomination Of Governor
Carlson for gubernatorial honors has
early forced to the front the question
as to the Republican who will sue
ceed Senator Shafroth two years
hence. Should Carlson be reelected,
it is claimed that his friends will urge
his election to the United States
Senate in that campaign. AT least
it is reasonable TO suppose that he
may become formidable candidate
on the issue that as United States
Senator he may there make his fight
for national prohibition.
If Governor Carlson should enter
the senatorial race, it might compli-
cate matters for Charles w. Water
man, who has been friendly with the
Carlson administration, should Mr..
Waterman also become candidate.
If both Governor Carlson and Mr..
Waterman entered the lists for this
high honor, it would divide the forces
in that alignment of the Republican
party Then either Karl c. Schuyler,
Clyde C. Dawson and Frank c..
Goudy of Denver might prove a win
ner. But if they all entered the
race, including C. C. Hamlin of Colo
RADIO Springs and others, it would
prove a free-for-all, and no one now
could forecast the result.
1t is claimed that Robert w. Speer
will not be candidatee and that the
Speer forces will support Gerald
Hughes in the Democratic party for
senator against hafroth.-Rocky

BETTER TROUT FISHING, THE
SLOGAN Or PISCAIoRAL MEN

If trout fishing in rushing, clear
mountain stream is a sport fit for
kings, then every citizen of the San
Juain basin and the tourists within
our borders, is member Of royalty,
piscatorally speaking The streams
are here and the people, but we must
remember that If several hundred
fishermen catch thousands Of trout
out Of the basin streams every sea-
son and only a fraction OF the num-
Der are replaced with new fry, the
fishing win soon get so poor that all
will be disgusted. Fishing experts
claim that not over five per cent Of
the baby tlout planted in d rushing
stream ever mature. They die by
starvation, by striking against rocks
and are eaten by larger fish. The
successful method Of stocking trout
streams is to hold the fry in retaining
ponds, where there is food, and give
the little fellows chance
to reach an age where they can take
care Of themselves before sending
them out on their own hook. Thus
Jhey have every chance to grow until
tliey can take some fisherman's hook.
Joking aside, The action Of the Duran
60 Exchange N fiNing woven wire
gates in the ponds On the Ayres ranch
on Upper Florida, fer the purpose of
retaining sraall fry, is something that
commends itsel to one asl all. Mr.,
Ayres will oversee the fry for sew
ernl months, until they are turned
into the Florida river. By next spring
thousands Of little fish can be seined
from these ponds and planted in va
rious other basin streams, and if this
is continued each year, these will be
good fishing for everyone.

AND WAS A "BLACk SAVAGE"

LONDON, Sept. ADMINISTRATION
today Of the German charge that

disclosed that one very large, black,
fierce-looking savage" British
citizen hailing from London, was in
structed to put his woody head over
the parapet 20 times day in 20 diff
ferent places for 20 days, yelling on
each occasion "hoola boola," or some
thing like that. Naturally the Ger
mans thought they were opposing a
horde of savages. And all the time
the "horde" was scared stiff that he
was going to get his head shot off.

SOARING MONEY OUT OF
PEOPLE

A reading Of the Chicago news
papers would lead an intelligent per-
son to inquire why it is necessary to
work for u living. Matchmaking
pays better than work.
An organization of men and women
during the past few months used all
their arts and practiced all their
frameups, and have extorted min
imum OF 3Z50,000 and the sum is sup
posed to be $l,000,000. Many of the
victims have refused to squeal. They
stand in dread OF publicity. The
women of the organization have been
used to lure men into compromising
positions, with an arrangement by
which some OF the gang should drop
in. Then the threats take place, and
the money changes hands. The man
probably had wife and daughters
whom he did not want to disgrace.
lie may not have been guilty OF any
thing serious, but as the saying is, he
was caught with the goods.
In one case woman of forty, a
loyal wife was lured into compromls-
ing situations Dy young fellow, ten
years younger, and she handed out
S35, 900. These biackmailers accept
no small fees.
In some instances the provisions
of the Mann act were used as an aud
m rho aytortion of money.
The conservative reader will say,
Serves them right; they had no
business paying any attention to bad
company; they had no sense or they
would not have used highballs."
Such persons may not know how
smart these blackmailers are.
Blackmail in some form or other
is practiced in almost every commun-
ity, and in every line of business. The
man or woman who wishes to live
safely must live sanely, and defy all
rraducers of their character.
Blackmail is a fashionable weapon
in politics. Individuals and organiza-
cations are many times engaged In
threatening members of congress and
governors. Sometimes poltlcal
clubs are organized for the purpose
of holding up candidates. Another
system of blackmail is to solicit
candidate Tor office for contribu-
ton to some worthy cause, while he
is a candidate. The solicitor will
say, LET us go and see SO and SO;
he is candidate and cannot refuse"
This is blaclmail. The holding up
of men who are running for office
is shameless and shameful.
1t is more than likely that 90 per
cent of all the letters written to pub
lie officials threaten them that if
they do not do SO and SO they will
lose votes. This is blackmail also.
1t may not be possible to catch the
plutocratic Chicago blackmailers who
score men and women, but is would
be entirely possible to put an end to
political blackmail. - Des Moines
