said.
Moderwcll when asked what fixed
profit the coal companies are entitled
to, said if he had contract covering
a term of years, fixing 20 to % cents
a ton profit on coal, he would be satis-

PAT N'ARTHUR HONE

"Oregon did herself proud in the

Congressman Macarthur said that
though he was a Republican yet he
stood by the administration in every
thing. He says he finds that this

gave him feeling of having done his
duty in the hours of crisis.
He believes the war should be ear
ried on by every means to speedy
and successful conclusion. He woulC
not say how long the struggle might
last but he said there were no signs OF

the only way to gain superiority ovei
the enemy and beat him down.

Along the Colorado

Los Angeles, Cal, June 26.--So
menacing has become the flood waters
of the Colorado river that dams used
to impound water at the Mexican bor-
der for irrigation purposes will be
dynamited to save crop lands, accord
ing to reports reaching rehe this after
noon. 1t is believed that by dynamit-
ing the water can flow freely down
the river tothe gulf and not inundate
vast farms in that section. Although
against the law to take dynamite
across the border, customs officials cut
the red tape to save farm lands and
crops needed now by the government.

the colorful throng which packed
Aqueduct grandstand when Borrow

of Harry Payne Whitney and had such
speed marvels as Roamer, Ormesdale,
