REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS
KEEP ECONOMY PLEDGE
Floor Leader Mondell Issues List Showing Some
of the Things Already Accomplished at the
Special Session.

Washington. June 30.-The Re-
publican floor leader of the House.
Representative Frank Mondoll. OF
Wyoming. has issued the following
roview of the accompi 'ahmcnts of
ho House dur ng tho first months OF
scRs on:
The special session OF tho Sixty.
sixth Congress has boon In aessiot
one month. During that timo the
House OF Representatives has con
3 dored and passed tho ak general
supply bills and tho railroad deti-
cheney and general deficiency s!!ls
which failed In the closing hours OF
he last Congress at the end OF =
nree months session.
I'm the consideration and passage
OF these bills the House has effected
saving of approximately a billion
dollars In the amounts carried In tho
same bills which failed in the sea-
on that expired March 4th last.
These savings we're In tho main
Ou NHEtb bltiHs thuuku NHNNN NNAN
some reductions on all. and on these
lhree bills. the army, navy and
sundry civil the reductions were In
round figures approximately Rs fol-
lows:
On tho army appropriation bill.
$Ao0. 1000. 900.
"on the naval appropriation bill.
1926. 900. 900.
"on the sundry Civil approprla-
tion bill. 5000. 900.
In addition to those reductions
the bill TO supply deficiencies in rail
way revenues as Il passed the House
carried 1850. 100000 instead OF al
200 900 900 as estimated by tho
Railroad Adm ministration--a rcdue-
tlon OF $3.50. 900 900.
These savings taken altogether
total nearly one and one-hRlf billions
OF dollars as the approximate net
reduction on appropriations by this
first session of the Republican Con.
gross below the proposed appropr'a a
tlons OF tho closing session of tho
Democratic Congrpss and the estI-

the best of 1t right from the start.
Mulica occupied the box for the To-
Gals for four innings, when he was
replaced by Framback.
Oliver heaved the sphere for the
Miners for six innings, when he gave
way to Marietta.
The Camels took the lead in the
first inning and kept it throughout
the game. At only one time-in the
fifth-did the game look at all SER
ious for the Camels. but in the sixth
they sent three men across home
plate, which gave them a safe lead.
and practically cinched the game.
Aside from a dispute over one de-
cision Sunday, both games were de-
void of the wrangling that has pre-
vailed at the other games here this
season.
The Miners are clean bunch OF
ball players and they took their de-
feat in he best of spirits. They
come back to Montpelier for two
games on August 8 and 10.

IN TWO GOOD GAMES
Standing OF Teams.

The Camels have started to climb
out OF "the cellar" and they are not
going to stop until they reach the
top. They took the Rock Springs
Miners down the line last Saturday
and Sunday and they propose to do
the same to Kemmerer today and to-
morrow.
The writer was unable TO witness
last Saturdays game with Rock
Springs, but the fans all say 1t was
one of the best games ever played
on the local diamond. The score
was 4 to In favor Of the Camels.
and the Miners made two OF their
three runs on an error by one of the
local men.
Fred Framback of Rupert. shot
the sphere for the Camels and the
manner in which he operated on the
mound brought Joy and pep to the
heart of every Camel as well as to
the big crowd Of spectators. He
sent nine Miners to the bench via
the srtikeout route. He not only
picches great ball but he Is in the
game all of the time and fields his
position well.

Wednesday evening Arnold Tueller
Tueller and Oliver Tueller, the latter
at the wheel, started out for a pleas
ure ride In Rudolph Tueller's Chand-
Ter car. They were speeding along
on the Paris road at about 25 miles
an hour and in making the turn just
west of the slough bridge, the car

bruises on his right hip and leg.
