SET OFF BIG BLAST.

Thursday evening after the
Register had gone to press, the
Triangle Construction Company
touched off a big charge of pow
der and dynamite, loosening up
from three to five thousand
yards of rock for road surfacing.
The charge consisted of Ats
pounds of powder, and 375
pounds of dynamite, all placed
below the surface from twenty
to twenty-five feet, and connect
ed by their electrician so that
the entire charge was fired the
same instant.
Our informant states that it
was a great success, breaking
much of the rock ready for the
! crusher. Only about fifteen
spectators were on the scene, as
the hour was late and probably
was timed by the company's
managers to prevent too many
of the over curious.-Lewis
County Register, Craigmont.
The Boise Statesman under a
Craigmont date line, which is
published at Boise has an entire
ly different story to tell its read
ers about the huge discharge.
The Statesman read as follows:
/ Sixty-seven kegs of black pow
der and seven and one-half boxes
of nitro glycerine comprised the
charge which removed about
1000 cubic yards of rock on the
north and south highway some
three miles south of this city.
The shock of the blast was felt
practically all over Camas prai-
RE, windows were shaken and
dishes broken in this city. The
rock was lifted to a height of
about 40 feet above the surface
of the ground.

Sweeping northward toward
Grangeville, the water came like
a tidal wave swiftly, and in great
volume. Soon Dry creek was
Overlooking its banks. When
the wave reached the rear of con-
crete buildings lining the south
side of Main street, between Hall
and State streets, the conduit
which passes underneath Main
street, and through which the
creek flows, was unable to carry
the large volume. The concrete
buildings served as a great dam,
behind which the excessive flow
of water was imponded. The
water continued to rise until it
reached the level of the street.
Then more water came, until
Main street was in many places
inundated two feet, while on
either side, vacant lots, which
lie far beneath the level of the
graded street, lay submerged

Strong pressure from the art

THREE COLLEGE
CAGE GAMES ON
TONIGHT'S LIST
G. w. U.-Gallaudet Game
Feature of Full Basket
Ball Evening.

Three college basketball games,
in which every local college quint
in Washington will be seen in action
are scheduled for tonight.
George Washington University's
tossers will hook up with the Gal
laudet five at Kendall Green in the
feature battle of the evening and
hope to duplicate their early season
victory when they knocked off the
Kendall Greeners by 32-to-2O
count. Providing Springston, the
Hatchetite star, has recovered suf-
ficiently from his recent injuries to
engage in tonight's game, the Buff
and Blue squad should succeed in
adding another game to the victory
side of their cage ledger. How
ever, II this clever and aggressive
tosser is unable to play the Kendall
Grceners have an excellent chance
Of Collecting tonight in which case
a rubber game will probably be
played later in the season at the
Coliseum.
In Spears. the Hatchetites have a
man who can hardly be spared from
the lineup as in addition to his
value as a fioorman, he is the only
man on the squad, apparently, who
can cage even an average percent
age OF shots from the foul line. In
dications were last night that II
Springston gets into the game Cap
tain Boteler will sit on the side
lines watching a new combination.
Catholic University battles the
Loyola quint from the Monumental
City and the HilItoppers are listed
to hook up with the st. Johns COZ
legians
Tonight's game will be the first
battle Coach Rice's team has en-
gagged in since their recent victory
over the Hatchetites. However. the
Baltimore quint hardly has a chance
against the Brooklanders. who
showed they were just hitting
their real stride in their game
against the Buff and Blue. Monu-
mental City reports, however, inoI-
cate that the BaItimOresns have
primed especially for this game and
there is a chance that the Brook
position than they expected last
night
The Hilltoppers should have little
trouble in winning from the 81
Johns collegians as the two teams
are hardly to be considered in the
same class. It is probable that
O'Reilly, the Blue and Gray mentor
will start a team Of substitutes
against the coIlegians. At least il
| is certain that the first team will
not play the entire game unless the
St Johns outfit shows more cIas,
than they are expected to, judging
| from past performances

TECH MAY CLINCH
HIGH TITLE TODAY
Western Tossers Must Defeat
Manual Trainers to Stay
In League Race.

Western and Tech High tossers
hook up today in the Coliseum in
what may be the deciding game OF
the local high school basketball
championship series. This game
will be the first Of a doubleheader,
the other half Of which will be
staged by Eastern and Business.
The Red and White cage men
must defeat the Manual Trainers to-
day or lose practically all hope Of
winning the school cage rag this
year. A victory for Tech will put
Coach Apples proteges so FAR out
in front that there will be little II
any chance to head them in the re-
naming games. Tech has already
won four games without a lose,
while the Red and White boys have
four games on the victory side OF
the ledger but have dropped one
game. losing 10 the Manual Train
ers early in the series.
It is conceded by Techs most ar
dent supporters that the across-the-
creek tossers have an excellent
chance to win today The Manual
Trainers defeated them by a single
point in their first meeting but
since then have lost by graduation,
GosnelI, their most capable fioorman
and one Of the best shots in the high
1 schools.
Western. on the other hand. will
present a much stronger aEEreEa-
] tion today than that which was de-
4 feated by Tech and according TO the
dope should come out Of today's bat
tie with tho series tied up.
Eastern is expected to win from
the StenoEraphers for the second
time this afternoon. Though Guy
on has lost Prender, the Light Blue
and White team is weakened very
| little as Cudmore has come to the
front rapidly ard is well qualified
/ to take "Itchy's" place.
/ II Western defeats Tech and
| Eastern wins from Business the
Capitol Hill lads still have a chance
to win the rag though It is admit
ted said chance is very slight
Trimming the StenoEraphers will
give the Fasteners four wins against
two losses and will put them right
behind the leaders where they can
Jump ahead II either Western or
/ Tech falters.

LAUREL TRACK MAY
HAVE NO MEET, SAY
md. COMMISSIONERS
Officials Must Change At
titude or Lose Racing
Dates.

BALTIMORE. Feb. lo.-f the
Laurel race track persists in defy
ing the Maryland Racing COmmis-
sion, then Laurel may find itself
without any racing at all this year
Such in effect was the statement
today by one Of the racing com
missioners
The commissioner did not bind his
colleagues by this statement, but in
view Of the attitude Of the board
with regard 70 the raising Of legal
bubbles by the tracks II Is not un-
likely that the commissioner who
spoke would be sustained by the
other two members Of the commits
sion.
IF the Laurel people feel them
selves aggrieved-" continued the
commissioner, If they feel that the
commission has exceeded its Au-
thority in preparing certain Of its
forthcoming regulations. they have
redress in the courts and my vote
at least will be in favor Of meeting
the issue there"
From all accounts. It appears that
at the meeting Of the commission
yesterday Albert r. Stuart, as coun-
sci for the Maryland State Fair.
Inc. which conducts Laurel. pro-
ceeded, with regard TO certain regu-
1 lations complained Of, TO set forth
the commissioners powers under
| the law-powers which. as Nj
/ Stuart viewed it. did not warrant
/ the commission in formulating the
regulations TO which Laurel is OBJ
| jeCting.
Mr.. Stuart's exposition Of the law
and Of the preroEative Of the com
missions meets IL seems, with any
/ thing but concurrence from the
. commissioners. some Of whom re-
/ Joined rather sharply.
Matters were not improved " hen
Mr. Stuart quoted what was pre-
sUmably a forthcoming opinion by
Attorney General Armstrong sup
porting Mr.. Stusrt's position. The
Racing Commission has not asked
for any opinion from the Attorney
General; the Attorney General will
not render an opinion until he -
asked. and the request must come
not from the Laurel track. or any
other racing association, but from
/ the commission.
Consequently the commissioner
were at a loss TO understand how
"A noneAlslenl opinion - an opinion
which would never have any exist
ence unless the commission should
ask for it-should be cited in oPpo-
sition to the commissions rule.
The commissioner has awarded
dates to Laurel for this years rsc-
ing. October to %. inclusive: but
no license has been issued and the
mere awarding Of the dates would
have no practical significance with
out the license. Further, the issu-
ing Of a license will undoUbtedl Y
be made conditional upon the ac-
ceptance Of the license by the COM
missions regulations.
