FLOOD CONTROL WITH
STATE COOPERATION

An opportunity for Senator Hiram

maiden address to the Senate oc-
cured during the discussion Of an
item of 100000 to assist his State in
the control of the floods of the Sac.
ramento river, as contemplated in the
flood Control Act passed in the clos
ing days OF the last Congress. Sen
ator Johnson contends that such an
appropriation is in the interest OF
true economy i'll that the contemplated
work will preserve for agricultural
development large tact of tland tina
would otherwise be ruined by TIL,
flood waters. The State has appropri
ated 100000 for the work, in con
tinuation OF long established policy
and Senator Johnson claims the gov
eminent should fulfill its contract b,
supplying an equal amount. The item
was included in the bill, due Target,
to the Senator's able presentation o
the case.

A FLIGHT OF ORATORY.

The English and the French have
begun to lombard the enemy with a
kind OF American ammunition which
they evidently think is more effective
than the shells made in Great Britain
and France. Three hundred thousand
copies OF President Wilson's speech
to Congress urging that state Of war
be declared have been translated into
German and will be dropped from the
skies upon the unsuspecting troops OF
the Kaiser As German sentences are
very heavy, the havoc may be great.
1t will be remembered that in this
address President Wilson drew dis.
einction between the German people
and the German government, and de.
clared that the United States had ne
| quarrel with the German people. Ii
| also presented some excellent reasons
why the German people should no
longer tolerate a Hohenzolern auto.

rich and comfortable junkers were
somewhat avcrse to the publication

truth in such disagreeabe fash

Ito reach the nenDle
But now the English and the French

diers with great bundles OF the truth

eral years paper has been soaring, but

In spite OF the clever plan to break
the truth gently to the Germans from
the skies, the Presidents speech prob.
ably will not make hit. The German
people have long been saturated with
the doctrines of miitarism and kaiser.
ism. The work of forty years cannot
be undone by single speech. The
soldiers probably will read the speech
and decide that President Wilson ha,
committed sacrilege in daring to crit

SHERIFF FIGHTS MAD DOG

Sheriff Ferret had an exciting fight
with rabid dog yesterday afternoon
half mile from Derby, and before
he finally succeeded in killing the ami
NAL had several narrow escapes from
being bitten. The auto, from which
they fought the dog was covered with
blood, and the beast left teeth marks
in the door.
District Attorney Lunsford received
word yesterday moning from James
Washburn. tourist from Portland
Oregon, that his dog had suddenly
gone mad and run off into the brush
befoe Washburn could shoot it
Sheriff Ferret and deputy at once
started for the place where the dog
was last seen. A short distance from
Derby they came upon the animal
asleep on the hillside. Their trst
shot enraged the dog, and he made
straight for the auto and tied to climb
into it, swapping madly at them and
leaving the prints OF his fangs in the
wood work of the door. Three shots
were required to kill him.
Sheriff Ferret inquired OF num-
Der of ranchers in the vicinity, but sc
far as could be learned the dog had
not attacked any other animals.-Ne-
