BLUES TRIM O. DIS AT POLO

On Tuesday afternoon very excit-
ing game of polo was played at the
Glenwood Country club. This game
brought together teams representing
the Blues and o. DIS. The game was
fast from start to finish and many
pretty drives were made by both teams.
Miss Frances Van Mater of Denver
displayed rare skill at this game, max.
ing one of the prettiest drives ever
made on these grounds, scoring the first
goal of the game. Mrs. Combs, for
merly Miss Long, also played won
derful game, but owing to her horse
receiving injuries some few days ago,
thus necessitating the nse of new
animal, she was unable to display her
usual skill.
Arrangements are now being made

TO ASK FOR BIDS ON
MARIETTA BRIDGE
Commissioners Will Proceed With
Preliminary Work on Structure
Plan Considered Unwise.

That bids will be called for at once
for preliminary estimates for the
construction of a wood and steel
bridge across the mouth of the
Nooksack at Marietta. is the news
that comes from Bellingham today
The project has been pronounced a
foolish expenditure of county money
from a number of standpoints, but
Commissioners Mcmillan and Slater
are openly in favor of the improve
ment"
The Bellingham Chamber of Com
merce at meeting last week de-
cided to support the movement. A
hearing on the question. which was
\ given faint preliminary announce
spent, was held Friday before the
commissioners, and was attended by
some forty supporters, including one
or two wealthy property-holders on
Lummi Island, who are agitating for
the bridge.
Points that have been brought
out against such project are: that
but a handful of people would be
served as a result of the expenditure
of from $25. to $4,000; that the
present ferry system, costing $500 a
year, is as adequate a provision as
the present needs of that district
warrant; that it is not certain that
bridge can be built that will stand
against the terrific spring freshets
in which two other bridges at the
same point washed out; that there
is no assurance that the Nooksack
will not shirt its channel, as it has
done many times, leaving the bridge
spanning a dry course; that the
county is just concluding spending
$4,000 on that section for the paved
Marietta road, and that the sum that
would be devoted to such a bridge
could be used to benefit an infinite
ater number of actual taxpay-
ers by rebuilding the rickety Fern
dale bridge, or giving the county
some decent crossroads.

NEW YORK THREATENED
WITH LOSS OF DAIRYING

''The state of New York is threat
ened with the loss of its greatest in
dustry. dairying, just as it lost the
sheep industry" said Senator Charles
w. Wicks. head of the Legislative in
vestigating committee which recently
finished its work of inquiry into the
cost of milk production and distribu-
tion.
Conditions are pitiable," he said.
I'VE have visited forty counties seek
ing information for the next legisla-
ture. Our report will show grave dan
ger of the disappearance of the in
dustry."
The reason for this threatened loss
is the unwillingness of the farmers to
continue producing milk for the mar
ket at a financial loss to themselves.
The recent milk strike threw light on
this state of affairs but its settlement
did not strike very deep into the evil
conditions. Only a temporary adjust
ment has been affected; only legis-
tion can make a permanent reform.
THE Legislature cannot fix prices
but it can insist on mediation. 1t is
the plain duty of the state to prevent
threatened economic loss to the en-
tire commonwealth" the senator de-
clared.
Senator Wicks intimated that the
situation would be taken up by the
legislature this winter. More than a
dozen milk producers appeared be-
fore the committee to submit figures
on cost of production.
