his observations in brief as follows.
II was awakened this morning by
the noise Of the anchor being slipped
in Libau harbor and | hastily dressed,
went on deck and had my first look
at Russia. Had a nice breakfast Of
bacon and eggs, snow white bread,
good butter, fine coffee and lam and

stroyers, three French and numer-
Gus German cargo ships marked

last night, we passed numerous Ger
man battleships with their armor
plate removed to the water line.
Shells were made from the plates
during the war. Also had a good
look at several partially dsmanted

PROMISES TO CONTINUE.

Sheriff Ayers is all worn out and

trant violators of the automobile
license law From now on he is going
20 use sharp and stern methods in
dealing with machine owners who
have failed to comply with the state
law by purchasing number tags.
He made this clear this morning at
the inauguration of a campaign to
round up all violators who are amuck
of the license law. He stated that en-
fOrcement of the statutes, as well as
traffic laws throughout the county.
will be rigidly enforced hereafter. He
promises to go through with it to 4
conclusive end" No discrimination
shall be shown in carrying out this
task and no offenders will be excused
because it is the first offense.
This means that two license num-
hers must be placed on the machine,
one in the front and one in the rear,
and in such position that they are
clearly visible at all times, Lights
must be dimmed when entering the
city limi,s and all tail lights lit. Cut
outs are strictly prohibited.
Owners and drivers of cars should
know whore they belong while motor
ing on the highway and machines
caught occupying the wrong side of
the road will be taken into custody.
Autos are becoming as common as
pedestrians on the street and care
should be taken to allow a machine
20 pass another on the road, street or
boulevard If they so desire without
causing any inconvenience to the car
ahead, The prank of throwing dust
in the face OF the occupants of ma.
chine coming from behind is becom-
ing thing Of the past and violators
will be prosecuted to the full extent
Of the law.

CITY OFFERS FREE
WATER TO BATHING
POOL FOR PUBLIC
PLANS FOR TANK CONTEM-
PLATED BY o. n. S. BOARD
MEET WITH APPROVAL OF CON-
MiSsIONERS.

If the Ottawa Township High School
board of education decides to go
ahead with the municipal bathing
tank ,as outlined exclusively in Tues
days Free Trader-Journal, the City OF
Ottawa will furnish water free. This
was decided upon last night after the
proposition was preached to the com
missioners by Attorney V. j. Duncan,
representing the school board.
In his talk to the council Mr.. Dr
can gave plans as perfected by the
board for building the tank as an adj
junct to the school, saying it would
cost. according to John Montgomery
figures, approximately $1,000 or $4,000.
The bathing place would run from
two to six feet in depth and be 100
feet long and fifty feet wide The
school will operate and police" the
tank after its completion and use.
Finances for covering the cost, he
said, probably would be placed in the
hands Of the Rotary Club or some
other active organization. This point
will be decided and then campaign
launched to collect the funds neces'
Sary to complete the tank.
He asked the council to furnish
enough water to refill the pool at least
once month. His proposal called
for making the outdoor tank a recrea
ton center for men and boys and the
indoor bathing place will be operated
exclusively for women and girls, al
though it is not expected to bring this
innovation about until next summer
After hearing Mr.. Duncans request
Commissioner Bradley moved that the
city comply and furnish the water
gratis, and the vote was unanimous IN
favor Of the proposition.
