PREPARE FOUNDATION
FOR HIGHEST DAM

YAKIMA, Wash.-Engineers of the
United States reclamation service
are now preparing to lay the founda-
ton Of what is probably to be the
highest dam in the world Men ami
machinery are at work, some as miles
northwest of here, in what is known
as Tieton canyon, constructing the
great Tieton dam, which is to i'm
pound 202,500 acre feet of water To
irrigate 100000 acres of dry land
With 400 men employed, which
will gradually be increased to 900,
quite a settlement has sprung up
There are storehouses, machine shops,
recreation hall, a hospital. and all of
the concessions are under government
control.
The dam when completed, will be
known as an earth-and-rock fill type
Il will have a fiva-foot thick concrete
core, pinned into solid bedrock 1870
feet below the surface and rising to
22G feet above the river. 1t will re
Quire 10000 cubic yards of concrete t.
make the core and more than 1000
900 cubic feet of earth and rock to
make the fill The base will extend
UP and down stream half mill,
while the crest will stretch across be
tween the enclosing hills some 1000
feet. 1t is estimated that it will take
four years to finish the work at a cost
Of Approximately $4,O0O,OO0.

\ CATTLE MANS VIEW.

Washington, July 12.- Senator
James w. WadswoIth of New York
holds to the view that Congress has
ne right under the Constitution, t.
enact Legislation regulating the stock
yard business. 1t is attempted to do
that under the provisions of the So
called meat packer bill now pending
IT Congress. Friends of the measure
take the position that inasmuch as
Congress can regulate the packer in
dustry. which is admittedly engaged
IN interstate commerce, it can also
prescribe rules for the stockyards
which are "A necessary part of the
packer business. Senator Wadsworth
contends that the Supreme Court has
determined that the business of con-
Quoting a stockyard is not an inte--
state commerce activity, and there
fore not subject to regulation By
Congress, The Senator is one of
many opponents to legislation of the
sort contained in the packer bill He
believes with President Harding thar
there should be less government in
business and more business in gov
eminent.

AUTOMATIC BLOCK
SYSTEM GOING IN
OVER MOUNTAINS
CREWS NOW ORGANIZING FOR
BIG JOB WHICH WILL. LAST
UNTIL FALL. FIFTY TO SIXTY
MEN EMPLOYED.

Crews are now being organized here
and material is arriving for the re-
modelling of the block system on the
Great Northern railroad between
Leavenworth and Skykomish.
A block system requiring operators
every few miles has been in use for
years and now this will be made an
automatic system, doing away VITA
many employees. The job is big
one and it is said that it will keep
scme fifty or sixty men busy "until
snow flies" We understand thai
there will be two crews, one of which
will probably work from the Leav-
onworth end and the other from Sky
komish. A work train will also be
required for each crew.
The whole system from here to
Skykomish will operate under the au
tcmatic system, excepting Cascade
tunnel, where the staff system. we un-
derstand will necessarily be con
tinued
A rumor Is now current that the
company has given up building
through the Chumstick and that the
li-mile tunnel from Merritt to Scenic
will eventually be bored At present
we have no direc. information as to
the company's intentions and know of
no move to construct the tunnel.
Crews are now at work repairing
the snowsheds in TIE canyon.

SEATTLE MARK ETS.

The butter market opened steady
with no present prospect of a move in
quotations. The supply of cream is
failing. Recent hot weather is not
having any effect on the new grass
and the undertone of butter, creamery
men say, must be stronger There is
no surplus in the daily make on west
crn avenue and no large offerings
from country creamerics. The egg
market was higher at 35c per doz.
with bid prices 1T 30c. The poultry
market is firm on large springs and
heavy hens. Light hens are coming
in freely and the movement and de-
mand is good. Due to lighter receipts
there is stronger tendency in the
veal market. Top grades advanced
l. per pound,
Strength was put into the raspberry
market unexpectedly Monday by bid,
from Gamers, who have become ac-
tive for the season at &c per h., o"
$1,000 .65 per crate wholesale of
the curb and Zoe per pit to consumers.
The raspberry crop is heavy and b.
the end of last week it looked as
though growers would face lean
year. The bid price is not strong but
it will lay the foundation for greater
activity and demand.
Flour consumers were enabled yes
to-day to buy top grades of domestic
flour at 1925 to S2.35 per sack of for
tynine pounds as result of de-
cline of 40 cents per barrel.
All divisions of the local livestock
market displayed strength after
week of idleness. Cattle have been
short for the past two weeks and
packers bid lively on the 35S cattle
received. Sheep were stronger with
the arrival of POI. The undertone Of
the hog market was strong with re-
ceipt of 81.

UPPER SILESIAN QUESTION.


tBy Republican Publicity ASSN
Upper Silesia is about the size OF
the State of Connecticut. The Yer
sailles Treaty provided that there
should be plebiscte of the inhabi-
tants to determine whether they
wished to remain part of German :
o. become a part Of the new Republic
Of Poland. The Germans knew of the
approaching vote and rushed as many
o. their nationals into the country a.
they could. The vote was taken, and.
ir spite of the efforts of the Germans
to influence the result in their favor.
the Poles registered great victory,
and under the terms of the treaty
they appear to be rightfully entitled
to the territory Of Upper Silesia. But
they don't get it.
Some of the Poles in the plebiscite
area, angered at the failure of the
allied authorities to recognize their
rights, have risen in rebellion, not
however, with the official approval Of
their home government The Ger
mans, defeated in the vote, have been
delegated by The allies to put down
the uprising, and Great Britain has
sent troops to see that the Poles are
kept within their proper bounds. It
is the evident intention of the allie.
tc give the new territory to Germany
vote or no vote, treaty or no treaty.
Now, the apparent reason for this
utter disregard for all proprieties
and complete lack of respect for the
Versailles Treaty, lies in the fact that
Upper SileSia contains vast deposits
Of coal, The treaty and the rcpara-
tions commission declare that Ger
many shall deliver certain huge
quantities of coal annually to the al
hes over a period of years. The al
lies are anxious that Germany shall
have the coal mines of Upper Silesia
from which to draw the supply. 1t is
said that formerly Germany used
crly . per cent of the coal mined in
that area for her own industries, ex-
porting the rest. The action of the
allies in giving Upper Silesia to Ger
many amounts, therefore, to the con
fiscating coal for their own uses that
rightfully belongs 90 Poland, Germany
merely acting as an agent to trans
port and deliver the fuel.
