MAINE MILL VERY MUCH
ALIVE

Every board you cut is a piece in
the Kaiser's coffin" is the sign that
adorns the bulletin board at Maine
sawmill conducted by the Emergency
Spruce Corporation. This mill is sup
plying lumber for important construc-
ton Jobs for the War Department, and
has delivered already considerably
more than 100000 feet of lumber
either as form units or as supports for
assembling them.
In one day alone the mill fabricated
$1,000 square feet of lumber, and an
additional $4,000 feet was delivered.
Specialization, and the standardizing
of work by men and the mechanical
equipment, as well as scientific plac-
Ing of the machinery to make possible
maximum production with minimum
effort and waste, are responsible in a
large measure for the fine showing,
but the cooperation of the employees,
stimulated by the bulletin board sign
is perhaps even greater force.

BODY OF WOMAN
ON Inflated
LAUNCH FOUND

The body of Mrs. Charles Craig, one
of the eight passengers on the launch
Flyer wrecked October 4 in the Tan
ana river about twelve miles below
Cinema from unknown cause, has been
recovered from bar in the river
several miles below the spot where
the accident is believed to have &C.
CURED, is the report brought by Chas.
White and w. S. Laymon who arriv-
ed on the train yesterday from Fair
banks
The launch. operated by the Hun
cry Kid" whose right name is said
to be Vernon, left Tanana early the
morning of October 4 with the fol-
lowing passengers for Fairbanks, Geo.
A. Coleman, manager of the Northern
Commercial company; Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Craig, of the Tolovana dis
trict; Mrs. Hawley W. Sterling, of
Nenapa, and four others, whose names
are not known. II never reached Fair
banks.
The boat, according to Mr.. Laymon
is about thirty feet long and carries
an eighty-tive horsepower Thomas
automobile engine, permitting a speed
of twelve or fifteen miles an hour to
be made against the current of the
river. The supposition is that the
launch hit a snag and started to fill
with water, causing the passengers to
attempt to make it to shore by SWIM
ming.
Another opinion is that the boat
met with an accident which caused
Vernon to run ashore to make re-
pairs, and while part of the passengers
were off. the boat tore loose from
shore and was later wrecked in the
current.
Mr.. White states there is an ugly
undercurrent OF rumor which hints at
something more serious than an &C
cident 1t is believed there was
quantity of gold dust from Tolovana
on board the launch, possibly as much
as $4,000 or 100000, which was be-
ing brought to Fairbanks. The strange.
ness of the accident and the mystery
surrounding this gold dust may be
found to furnish q motive for possible
foul play -Cordova Herald.

example, they pushed at least one field
gun forward to within seven hundred
yards of the battle line and other guns
were brought close up.
Heavy artillery firing continued at
various parts of the battle line during

WILSON WINS AGAIN
ON OVERMAN MEASURE
Broad Powers Given EXeCu-
tive, All Efforts at Amend
ment Failing
BIZ THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 3O.-The
administration and senator Oyerman OF
North Carolina won a distinct victory
in the senate when the upper chamber
passed In substantially unamended form
the Overman improvement bill, giving
The president blanket powers to com
solidate government departments and
agencies and coordinate their wartime
activities. few days ago the president
wrote Senator Overman, thanking him
with all my heart" for standing by
the bill in unamended form and insist
ing upon it's passage IS introduced. The
president obtained his wish and on the
final showdown only one Democrat,
Reed of Missouri, and twelve Repub-
licans voted against the sweeping meas
ure.
The bill adds to the already vast war
time powers of President Wilson. IN
der it's terms, he may utilize, co-ordi-
nate and consolidate any executive COM
mission, bureau, agency, office or Of
ticers now existing and transfer any
duties and powers from one executive
department, commission, bureau, agen-
cy, office or officers to another. The
transfer may include personnel as well
as activities. 1t is understood that one
of the first results of the passage of
the bill, which unquestionably will re-
be the definition of the powers of the
war industries board and it's chairman,
Bernard NJ. Baruch.
Mr. Baruch is likely to be given di-
rect and legaliZed control of the major
problems of developing the war indus
tries of the country, bringing about
maximum production and settling ques-
tions of priority in governmental de-
mands.
When the Overman bill reaches the
house it probably will be referred to this
committee on judiciary. headed by Rep
resentative +. Y. Webb, of North Caro-
lima. This committee is expected to re-
port - bill promptly, and it will re-
quire only few days to pass the bill
N the house, in comparison with the
weeks tile senate has spent in debate.
The opposition to the Overman bill
practically made it's last stand Satur-
day afternoon when the amendments Of
fered by Senator Hoke Smith, of Geor-
gia, were defeated by narrow votes Afte"
this defeat the opposition forces never
rallied, and there was only corporal $
guard against the bill on final passage.
The Smith amendments proposed to ex-
empt the federal reserve board and the
interstate commerce commission from
the operation of the bill.
Senator Smith said these agencies had
no purely wartime functions and il
was unwise to clOthe any president with
powers to transfer their Jurisdiction
TO other bodies or turn the monetary
and railroad systems of the country over
to other bureaus not contemplated by
statutory enactment. There is no in
dication that the president has any sucn
ioeds. but opposition senators neverthe-
less hes:tated about the bestowal of
such blanket powers.
Passage of the OVerman bill in the
senate is but another indication of the
presidents hold on congress and his
ability to get from the legislative branch
OF the government wartime powers
more sweeping than any one ever
dreamed of in times of peace.

believe me, the minister of some of
these Georgia towns know how to pray.

to win this war if we have to fight till
hell freezes overt said a preacher in
one Georgia town. And he meant it.
Then, while thousands of people
crowd up close to the train platform,
one of the officers goes through very
interesting demonstration, telling all
about the Browning gun, the Lewis ma
chine gum bayonets, gas masks. motors,
helmets packs and several other things.
He gets the crowd worked up by telling
them how much this stuff costs and how
far a Liberty Bond will, go toward fir

500 Are Killed In
Hot Mexican Battle

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, April S0.-At
least 500 men were killed a week ago
in a fight between Mexican federal
troops and Luis Caballero's rebels TWEEN
ty miles north of Victoria, Tamaulipas,
according to F. W. Garrett, a ranchman
living near Victoria, who reached the
border here, enroute to his former home
at Tulsa, Okla. Garrett stated he de-
parted for the border after his place
had been ransacked by rebels.
Part of the fighting took place on
his property, Garrett said, and because
several of Caballero's forces, including
an officer were killed on his ranch, a
major in Caballero's army demanded
IS, 900 of Garrett. Failing to get the
money, the major ordered the ranch
house ransacked. The rebels secured
800 hidden in a trunk. Garrett said he
Immediately started for the border. the
journey requiring one week. The last re,
port he had from the scene Of battle
was that Caballero's forces were vir-
tually surrounded by the federals.

Just before the present rulings re-

after she bought the flour she decided
to abandon the use of wheat bread alto
gether and serve nothing but corn bread
for DIR. Soule. So, when the ruling linn

made, the food administrators wife
found herself with more on hand than
the law allowed.
She promptly reported herself and
donated the excess to the government.
