RIBBON CLIFF
GRANITE FOR
COURTHOUSE

There is to be no expense spared
by the county commissioners at this
time as is evidenced by the following
from the Wenatchee World which
shows that plans for the four hun
dred thousand dollar courthouse are
going forward all the time. The
ranchers of the county may be
threatened with great losses through
inability to sell their products. but
our county commissioners evidently
can see no reason why they should
slow up on the expenditure of public
money, so difficult for the taxpayers
to raise at this time.
Mondays World says:
The new Chelan county court house
first story rusticated work. steps
window sills and other facings will be
built of home-quarried home-cut
granite. For the first time, the ex-
cellent stone deposits Chelan county
possesses at Ribbon Cliff will be
used in quantity for building pur-
poses.
Saturday afternoon the commits
sioners let to F. F. Towle veteran
granite cutter, proprietor of the
Northwestern Monumental Works of
Wenatchee a contract for cutting the
granite for the building. The am
cunt of the contract is $4,000. Mr.
TO,4-1o hoe baar u rr,o,;+o a,,44o,. e..
IS years.
Ribbon Cliff granite is among the
finest material to be found any
where. 1t has been tested by eX-
perts at Washington State College
and elsewhere, and has been found to
be of a high order 1t is a gray
granite, and Mr.. Towle says it is very
well suited for the purpose it is to be
used. 1t is less hard than the stone
found in the quarry near Entiat or
that quarried from the deposit near
Chelan Falls.
The county commissioners have
planned to use local products and To-
cal labor as much as possible in the
construction of the new court house
Accordingly extensive Investigations
have been made by them and by the
architects, Morrison, Stimson & CO.,
with the result that the Ribbon Cliff
granite was selected as suitable in
every way.
There are a number of excellent
granite deposits in this county, but
the Ribbon Cliff was decided to be
the most available.
Mr.. Towle will start crew of men
at work Immediately and will keep
them busy all winter getting the
granite out. His contract only calls
for furnishing the material all ready
to cut to the general contractors. The
facing will be from four to eight
inches thick.

Right of Cities To
Ban Booze Is Upheld
Ordinances Adopted BY Municipal
ties Are Found Valid BY
State Supreme Court.

Municipalities right to pass and
enforce an ordinance prohibiting the
manufacture. sale and transporting
of liquor has been established by the
Minnesota supreme court in the case
of Isadore Rudkin Of Minneapolis,
who sued out a writ of habeas cor
pus after he had been sentenced to
the workhouse for ninety days un-
der the ordinance on a charge Of
liquor.
Rudkin pleaded guilty in municipal
court and served about fifteen days
of his term in the workhouse, when
he went to the district court in May,
1922, and sued out a writ of habeas
corpus, alleging that the ordinance
under which he was convicted Is void
and Of no effect. The writ was dis
charged and appeal was taken TO
the supreme court.
The supreme court ruled that the
ordinance under which the city of
Minneapolis is operating is constitu-
tonal. Until late last year, the state
law was used in prosecuting liquor
law violators, cases were tried in dis
trict court and fines paid went into
county funds. The Minneapolis city
council, acting under authority of
the state law, passed an ordinance
covering practically the same points
as the state law, providing, how
ever, that the accused persons were
to be brought before municipal court
and the fines paid revert to the city
treasury. That ordinance is the one
sustained by the high court.

coNNELL CASE DISMISSED
Charge Against An Owatonna Pc.
lice Officer of Assault

Owatonna, September % A
case in the municipal court charg
ing Frank Connell, who has served
nine years on the local police force,
with intentional and wilful neglect
of duty was dismissed late Wednes-
day afternoon by Judge r. e. Wood.
The state of Minnesota was the
plaintiff and Carl Grass, the COM
planning witness.
The basis for the case was an
affidavit sworn to by Mr.. Grass
while on duty failed to arrest Evon
Blaska when Mr.. Blaska was alleg-
ed to have assaulted Mr. Grass in
Jasinsk's restaurant at l a. m.
Monday morning. The affidavit
claimed that Mr.. Connell saw the
assault but when asked by Mr..
Grass to make the arrest only
laughed at him, and charged Mr..
Connell with wilful neglect of duty.
Evidence testified to by witnesses
which included both Mr.. Grass, Mr..
Blaska and a waitress at the res
taurant, was not sufficient in the
opinion of the court to bind Mr..
Connell over to the grand jury as
the defendant who testified in his
own defense stated that he did not
see the alleged assault.
Mr.. Grass accompanied by some
friends went to the restaurant to
get some food. While they were
eating, Mr.. Blaska came in and on
the way out the alleged assault is
said to have taken place.
Judge Wood declared in handing
down his decision that the evidence
submitted did not prove in his opin-
ion a wilful neglect of duty and
that he did not feel that he should
place the hardship of binding the
defendant over to the grand jury on
Frank Connell on the facts testified
to at the trial.
Harold Nelson, prosecuting attor-
|ney, appeared for the state, and
Harlan Leach represented Mr.. Con-
nell.

RLooDHoUNDs ON TRAIL
They Are Employed In Attempt To
Hunt Down Cattle PoisoHer


Rochester, September 2s.-The
man who poisoned the cattle OF Arch
Gordon, who uses small piece of
land on the outskirts of Mabel, south
east Of Rochester, viii be trailed by
bloodhounds brought to the village
from Waterloo, Iowa, yesterday.
Up to noon yesterday authorities
had been unable to locate anything
from which the bloodhounds could
get the scent of the prisoners.
When Mr.. Gordon went to feed
and milk his cows Tuesday he found
them sick. DR.. Reide, veterinarian
was summoned After an exami-
nation, he expressed the belief that
the cattle had been poisoned.
Upon investigation, several ears
of corn were found of different va
riety than that which Mr.. Gordon
had been feeding his cattle. Further
investigation revealed that the pit
of the cob had been removed, the
center filled with paris green, ano
the hole closed with corn husks.
Sheriff Cyrus B. Christensen and
County Attorney Samuel c. Pat
fridge were notified and took charge
of the investigation at once. After
search they declared tht the corn
fed to the cattle had apparently been
taken from the farm of Sam Wilson
which is just across railroad track
from the pasture of Mr.. Gordon.
The county uthorities sent for the
bloodhounds.:
Mr.. Gordon is a former village
marshal of Mabel and it has been
suggested that some enemy he made
while in office may have taken this
means Of gaining revenge.

ANNA DICKIE OLSEN
CALLED DECOYDUCK

the Wall street dehatation of agri-
culture and business has intensified
the struggle for existence. AS a con-
sequence more women are forced to
leave their homes and to enter in
dustrial employment, and thus com
pete with the men in work. He said
that the mothers of the future gen
erations must be liberated from this
economic serfdom by compelling in
dustry to pay a living wage to the
head of the family or the bread win
ner. That we must safeguard the
American home. Mr.. Shipstead said
that the Newberry case should be
reopened in the senate and that SEN
ator unseated. The speaker believed
in the soldiers bonus. taken on
tax levied upon war excess profits.
He would punish the dollar a year
patriots who used their power to
loot the public treasury of billions Of
dollars. Mr.. Shipstead said that he
was opposed TO the ship subsidy and
the abuse of the Injunction power
of the courts in labor disputes. High
tariff the speakers said are for the
purpose OF raising prices to the
consumer, and so make trusts and
monopolies richer and the people
poorer.
If elected. Mr.. Shipstead said that
he would not become a member OF
participate in the farmers bloc. the
labor bloc and the mothers bloc.
Mr.. Register Spoke.
W. W. Register of Glenwood,
Mimi, farmer labor candidate for
railway and warehouse commission
er. in opening his address he said
that the people are watching Wash
inGton. He said that things are going
on in Washington among the sena-
tors and congressman, that if prac-
ticed by our neighbors at home,
would cause us not to speak TO
them.
Secretary Hughes came in for a
scoring for the piat.lg OF Rus
sian ambassador when we had not
yet recognized that country. Mr..
Hughes was also scored for his stand
on the Newberry case. Secretaries
Fall and DENLY and Secretary Weeks
were accused of favoring the manip-
Ilation OF war department activities
for profit through the sale of war
supplies. The speaker said that $4,000
millionaireS were made during the
world war through war profits, and
that Attorney General Dougherty was
in hand and glove with those peo
pie. That the speaker alleged was
the reason that some of the worst Of
Tenders were not prosecuted by
Dougherty. The Esch Cummins bill
came in for a broadside, as did the
ship subsidy bill. Legislation in
favor OF the capitalists, and lack of
punishment of the wrong doors had
brought about hardships. on the
farmers. who are not getting fair
prices for their farm products. There
is a community interest existing be-
tween the business man, the labor
er and the farmer, the speaker said,
and for that reason they should
stand together at the polls next fall.
Editor J. l.. Baldus explained that
it takes money to finance a cam
paign. and for that reason announced
that he would go through the crowd
and sell Shipstead buttons at TWEEN
~ five cents per button. A large
number were dispOsed of
