DRIVE TUNNEL
 INTOLAKE FOR
 WATER SUPPLY
Work of Increasing Ketchi- kan's Available Supply Is Said to Be Progressing in Satisfactory Manner

Most mines in Alaska have been dug for gold, but at the Ketchikan lake a shaft has been driven 163 feet for water, says the Ketchikan Chronicle. It has been blasted through solid rock and for all the world the entrance resembles the en- trance to a mine. Before many months heavy flow of water will rush through the shaft, fulfilling ketchikan's needs as to light, power and water for a long time to come.
 Progress in the work of increasing the city's power supply is continuing smoothly. About twenty-five men are working every day and three shifts are carrying on the work of tunnel ing. They are now about 130 feet from the lake end. The excavating has been carried on from only one end, though work of clearing the bot tom for the lake side entrance of the hole was just started The raising 
 rain of yesterday halted this work.
 The lake has been very low, but the weather of yesterday raised fears that it might flood the lake over the dam and cause a postpone ment of the work of tunneling, but the fears failed to materialize today. The tunnel opening is just below the falls and at such a low level that a freshet might cause an interruption due to water blocking the entrance.
 Concrete forms for screens and chambers for the gates are soon to be constructed. These will be built into the tunnel to hold the two raisers and the gauge control valve Work on three of the four dams that are to be constructed is being car ried on. One crew has been at work clearing and carrying out timber for these dams Three of the dams will be constructed in the ravines on either side of the spillway. The dams will be three feet higher than the spillway, which will be $40 feet above tide water.
 In order to prepare for the work at the lake considerable work on the tramway to the lake had to be done which is now completed. The track was renewed in a number of places and new sections of trestlework put in
 When the work is finished the storage capacity of the lake will have been increased about 100 per cent. Tentative plans for making available the water supply of the upper lake at low water as well as when the water Is high are also in the pro- cess of development. It is expected that the work of blasting the tunnel may be completed within the month.

STARTUP TEAM
NOT IN RUNNING
HERE MONDAY
VISITING TEAM FAST WORKERS
ON FLOOR, But OUR BRILL.
ANT ELECTRICS DAZZLED
EYES-MISS BASKET.

The exhibition of basket ball Mon
day evening, when the Startup team
played the All Stars, was somewhat a
disappointment to our fans. The Wis
iting team, which really is strong
aggregation, did not develop the fight
expected of them and the home team
walked so far thead on the score
board that the sizzle was taken out OF
the players as well as the crowd.
Startup made the first basket and
the beginning looked like it was real
ly for blood, but our team whipped in
several field throws in quick success
sion and soon had big lead. The
score at the end of the first half was.
Leavenworth 20, Startup 8. Such
lead was a heavy handicap and the
last half looked like hopeless propo-
sition to the visitors, and so it proved,
for the final score was, Lcavenworth
12, Startup IS.
The visiting team is composed of a
fine lot Of wellows and the game was
clean throughout Max Anderson Of
ticiated as referee.

PRESIDENTIAL FACTS.

Warren G. Harding. who takes Of
flee today as the twenty-ninth presi-
dent of the United States, is the first
president to be elected to that high
office on his birthday. He was So
years old November =, 1920.
President Harding is the seventh
president contributed to the country
by the state of Ohio. Only Virginia,
with total of eight presidents born
within her borders, outranks Ohio in
this regard. No president has been
born west of Ohio. No president has
resided west of Illinois.
President Harding is the seventh
president of Scotch-Irish paternal an
cestry. Fifteen of our presidents,
over the period of 1873 years, have
been of English decent, three of
Scotch, one of Welsh and two of
Dutch
The average age of our presidents
at inauguration is 81 years, approx
mately, while the approximate ave.
age at death has been 66 years.
President Harding exemplifes the
rapid rise possible in American life
better than any Of his predecessors.
He was not included in the 1914-15
'Who'S Who"
Like many of his predecessors also,
his parents were not wealthy and he
has risen to the highest office within
the gift of the Ae1'ican people
through frugality, industry and
thrift, of which he is a warm expo
nent, as evidenced by his recent ap-
proval of the Governments thrift
and Savings work, represented in the
sales of Thrift, Treasury and War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Saw
ings Certificates.

AMERICAN FEDERATION ISSUES
AN APPEAL TO ORGANIZED
WORKERS THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Organ-
lied labor throughout the world, es-
pecially in the United States, is urg-
ed to protest "the ruthless persecu-
tion and slaughter Of labor unionists'
in soviet Russia in an appeal issued
tonight by the American Federation
Of Labor.
Let the soviet savagcs know what
labor thinks of their bestial system. "
the appeal declares. "Let every la
Dor organization respond"
The statement declared that aftc;'
"tricking" labor into supporting the
soviet Trotzky and Lenine began
carrying out their threats of exter-
mination Of labor leaders, peasant
parties and so-called hostages"
"The ofIense of the labor unionisrs
was Gear said the appeal "They
are opposed to the so-called govern
ment set up by Lennc and his hand
full of associate dictators. As far as
is possible under the ruthless tyranny
organized labor of Russia is in =
state of revolt. The organized work
ers are doing what they can to reach
the minds of the laboring humanity
in all countries, but they are working
against overwhelming obstacles-re-

immediate starvation for their fam;-
lies, the firing squad, death by tor
ture in prisons. 1t is difficult for
them even to speak, and decree es-

The appeal charges the soviet re-
gime with establishing a system of
slavery, making long hours and Sun
day work compulsory and forbiddng
strikes"
There has probably never been in

GIRLS TEAM
FOUGHT HARD AGAINST
WfNATCHFF HIGH
OBSERNE ERS THINK WENATCHEE
COULD NOT WIN If SECOND
GAME WERE PLAYED HERE
NOW,

The Leavenworth high school girls
basket ball team lost to the Wenat-
chez high girls team here last Friday
night by a score of II to 81, but it is
the opinion of some observers that if
another game were to be played here
soon between the two teams Leaven-
worth would be the winner, for the
county seat bunch was held down and
had hard scrap, especially after the
first few minutes. The mighty rec
ord of the buXom lasses from down
the river had a tendency to make our
far defenders bit nervous, but at
ter they had taken the measure Of
the visitors they got down to Ceases"
and fearing defeat drew on their re-
serves in the last half

SATURDAY EVENING
GIANT BASKET BALL SQUAD
FROM CASHMERE DEFEATED
BY SCORE OF "a TO PIN BEST
GAME OF SEASON.

Cashmere was here in force last
saturday evening to witness the big
contest between their basket ball
team and our town team and it is
quite likely that they went home well
pleased with the evenings entertain
ment, for their team put up one of the
tineSt games ever witnessed in this
burgh and lost by only two points.
Our home fans are ready and willing
to turn out in force every night in the
week if they are permitted to witness
such games.
The game started with bang and
Leavenworth was first to score, but it
was root hog or die all the way
through. However at the end of the
first half the score was II to 16 IN
Icavenworth's favor. Then came the
last half which was more thrilling
and terrible than the first, for Cash
mere fought like demons and their
score rose and passed ours and as
the minutes passed and the end APP
preached it looked like we were in for
it. But with a couple minutes 10
play, Leavenworth scored field bas-
ket and also a free throw and took
the lead, and the final whistle bic V
before the visitors could make an
other connection. The final score was

the game in a manner beyond words
