CROW EXONERATED
in AUTO ACCIDENT
Discharged by Recorder Morey on
Charge of Reckless Driving When
Show Window Broken.

Roy Crow, the sailor, who was taken
into custody Thursday and later re-
leased on bond, on charges of care
less and reckless driving, being
charged specifically with driving the
automobile which several days ago
ran into an automobile parked at the
curb in front of the Woolworth store
.on South Palafox, forcing the car into
the sidewalk, and breaking one of the
huge plate glass display windows of
the Woolworth firm.
The fact that Grow was not driv-
ing the car at the time of the accident
was established in recorders court, it
being shown that a companion of
Grow was driving the car, and who
left the car Immediately after the ac-
cident.
Grow was arrested Thursday by Po-
lice Chief Milton b. Frank and the
charge made against him. He pros
duced sufficient evidence to effect the
placing of charges against his COM
panion, said to bear the name of
Coope, and Crows bond, placed orig
inally at 500 was decreased to $50
on the condition that Crow guarantee
the appearance of Coope in court Fri
day morning. Coope failed to appear
at court. however, but evidence was
heard and the case against Crow was
discharged. It was said at police
headquarters that the incident did not
end with the discharge OF Grow.
Whether it was meant that the police
would be on the lookout for Coope,
was left for conjecture
In addition to the above case, the
following cases were disposed Of by
Recorder Morey:
Betsy Coleman, negress, disorder1y
conduct and swearing, etc, mol pressed.
Robert Burnett, disorder1y conduct
and swearing, discharged: Robert

BURGLAR ENTERS
k.&V.B. HARDWARE
THURSDAY NIGHT
TWO AUTOMATIC PISTOLS ONLY
ARTICLES MISSING: ENTERED
BY BREAKING GLASS IN
WINDOW.

Last Friday morning broken WIN
dow was found at the rear of the X.
& V. B. Hardware store and an exam
ination of the store revealed that
two automatic pistols were the only
articles taken. If anything else was
taken it was not missed. Even the
cash register containing several dol
lars was not touched.
The fact that one pistol was taken
from back of some big guns on a
shelf lead the store people to suspect
one man, who had called and looked
at the pistols on Thursday and had
seen the clerk, Roswell McNett, take
it from and return it to its place.
Usually one of the employees of
the firm sleeps uptairs in the store,
but on Thursday the man who had
been sleeping down there was called
to Cashmere to make some repairs on
a heating plant and was not in the
store when it was entered by the
thief.

CHELAN COUNTY
ROAD PROGRAM.

Chelan county will reduce it's road
improvement program for the pres
ent year to much smaller proportions
than had been originally planned ac-
cordng to resolution adopted by
the county commissioners in the Janl-
ary meeting, which convened Mon
day at Wenatchee.
County Engineer John Duff was
asked to prepare tentative program
some time ago, based upon the cost of
labor and materials and the fact that
Chelan county's road funds are much
smaller than had been anticipated
due to the defeat of the Carlyon bill.
Mr.. Duff's plan was adopted with
out any changes by the board and
bids for the work will be solicited
Immediately. The following pavement
will be laid during 1921: 1.6 miles
from the end of the North Wenatchee
avenue pavement to the top of Sun
nyslope grade and 80 mile to con-
meet the East Cashmere pavementwith
the cottage avenue pavement, includ-
ing the paving of the new Cashmere
bridge.
A total of 5.66 miles of new grad
ing will be dona on the Wenatchee-
1eavenworth road during 1921 as fol-
lows North Monitor grade, 9 miles
to complete the job; Kinney Hill
Grade, 1926 miles; Stein grade. 1.2
miles and South side Leavenworth
road, IL miles.
There is still s50O.OOO to be ex-
pended out of the county road bond
issue, but the county officials believe
it to be the wisest policy to hold the
bulk of this money until state or fed
ertl aid is available so as to secure the
hest results.
resolution was also adopted to
the effect that funds be set aside to
pave the main county road from the
top of sunnyslope grade to the end
of the Monitor pavement in 1922.
The action of the commissioners
applied only to the main county high
way. Other work will doubtless be
done on the Chelan- -Okanogan high
way and also on the Stemilt Hill and
Wenatchee Heights roads.

THE SECOND-FOOT OF WATER

"Secondfoot," as defined by the
United States Geological Survey, De-
partment of the Interior, is an abbre-
Walton for cubic foot per second and
is the unit for measuring the rate of
discharge of water flowing in a stream
l foot wide and foot deep at the rate
of foot per second. It is generally
used as fundamental unit in
measurements of stream flow.
"Second-feet per square mile" is
the average number of cubic feet of
water flowing per second from each
square mile or area drained, on the
assumption that the run-off is distrib
uted uniformly both as regards time
and area.
An "acre-foot" is equivalent to 49,
$50 cubic feet and is the quantity re-
quired to cover an acre to a depth of
| foot The term is commonly used
in connection with the storage of
water for irrigation.
A flow Of second-foot equals 74S
United States gallons a second 44S.s
gallons minute, or 646.317 gallons n
day. As a California "miner's inch'
equals 0.1s7 gallon a second. there are
40 California miners inches in 1 sec

NORTH DAKOTA JURTST
SAYS BANK CANNOT
BE A SUCCESS

Justice Robinson, Of the North Da-
kota supreme court, takes the view
that under the present system of or.
gainzation the Bank of North Dako.
Ia cannot be success. He says:
ITO restrain and curb exploita-
tion and to promote the general
welfare of the constitution of
North Dakota permits the state
and each county and city to do
business the same as natural
person. The state has a right to
make wealth, to do banking. mill
ing, manufacturing or any bust
ness. The Bank of North Dako.
ia has been legally organized.
but under the law of its orpaniza-
ton it is not, and it never can be.
a success. 1t is subject to poll
tical and administrative control
and it may well be used as a DO
litica' factor. Hence. the clamor
and the vote for it's examination.
But even though the bank were
examined every day it could new
er be above ssupicion. To make
tie bank success it must be ro-
organized and mt on the same
plane as the Federal Reserve
banks. 1t must be made cor
porate entity with public direc-
tors and private directors and re-
sponsible stockholders.
GAS everyone knows in the pub
lie service, even in the admins
traton of Justice. there is no eff
cheney. The public servant will
steal his time and go afshn' and
leave his work undone. There is
no supervision. no control, and
nobody seems to care. To make
public business a success it must
be linked and united with private
business and personal gain or
loss. If there is to be a special
session of the legislature. it
should be to reorganize the bank
and the public utilities and to cut
down the assessments and tax
levies and to repeal all the new
tangled laws of the past three
years."
