 Colorado City is credited with be ing the only one in tne history of this country to give it's na ne to a state.

OLYMPIA, Wash, July 17.-Oe- layed) The supreme court of the State of Washington has decided that picketine by strikers is not le- gal practice. and as a consequence it is forbidden.

PARK BOARD IS ARRANGING FOR
 ANOTHER RACE

In view of the fact that the Fourth of July automobile race here was so much enjoyed by all who saw it, many having declared that it was the most momentous event ill d sporting way that Fairbanks ever saw, and also in anticipation of a probable Labor Day celebration race here the board of commissioners of Exposition park at meeting held last night decided to place the race track at the park in better condi tion than it has eyar been before. The park has been a money-maker this summer, and it is now the in tention of the board to put the money back into it in the repairs which are intended to place the track in first class shape To that end specifications of work to be done will be made up within the next few days and bids for doing the necessary work will then be called for
 The park board plans to hold two races on Labor Day One will be froe-for-all, in which any car will be qualified to enter, and the other will be a race similar to hat held during the Fourth of July celebration. Good, substal ti5l money przeo Will be put up for both cents. | Ill and com plete plans for the ra 'es have not vet been announced but tley will probably be formulated after the Fairbanks Commercial club decides just what kind of celebration is to be held.
 It is hoped, however, that Labor Day can be celebrated in connection with the annual Panama Valley fair as the fair is usually held during the first week in September, It is pointed out that both events could be held at one time in this manner, and that the celebration would be all the better, for it would then last for several days-three at the least.
 The baseball games played at that time will also be feature and will close the baseball season in the in terior. The soldier team from Fort Gibbon will be here at that time, and arrangements are now being made to bring the Brooks and Ne mana teams here for the same occa- sion It is therefore expected that there will be a fOuI-cornered series and that the championship of the interior and of the Panama Valley league will then be decided.
 The automobile races which are now being planned will, however, be the DIE feature. TOT IL IS expected that numerous cars will be entered in the regular race and not a few for the free-for-all. In fact, a num- Der of those who raced on the Fourth of July have already eX- pressed their intention of racing dur ing the Labor Day celebration Bob Sheldon, winner of the Fourth race, in answering his challengers after the race was over, stated that he would not race again until the next Fourth celebration, but it is thought that good, substantial prize will so tempt Robbie that he will forget all about his good resolutions and return to Fairbanks for Labor Day, possibly to clean up again, or per haps to lsse l the money he won in prizes and side bets on the for mer occasion.

It's consideration was defeated by a few senators. led by Senators La Toilette and Gronna The main grounds on which the bill was opposed were its draft provi- sion, giving the President power to draft men into the aviation corps; the price of machines. and the fear that too much money would be spent in organizing the corps. In this manner the administration aviation plans have been upset, at least for the present.

 of the umbermen's executive com mittee admits that the inducements association is losing in prestige.
