State Prepares to Test
u. S. Water Power Law
Supreme Court To Be Asked to
Declare Act Invalid and En-.
iOin enforcement

WASHINGTON. May 8.-Contendinp
that the Feueral water power act Of
1920 is unconstitutional, the State of
New York has prepared through its
Attorney Genral a motion asking the
Supreme Court to permit it to bring an
original bill to test the law. The mo-
ton probably will be filed as soon as
the court reconvenes.
The state also will ask the court TO
enjoin the Secretaries of War, Interior
and Agriculture, constituting the Fed
eral Power Commission, and the At
torney General as tho law officer of
the government, from enforcing the
provisions Of the act within the State
of New York.
Conceding that the Federal govern
meht has constitutional jurisdiction
over ravigable waters "for the specific
purpose of navigation" New York in
it's motion asserts the Federal water
power act will interfere with its rights
and duties. as we'll as those Of its citi-
zens. and that "there exists the intent
on the part Of said defendants 1.-THE
Federal officials) wrongfully to so con-
strue and hurtfuily enforce and ad-
minister said act " as to extend it's pro-
visions ITO water powers on practically
nil streams in the Btate, large and
small, except brooklets."

the change in duty on sugar, which 1t
is promised will reduce the price to
the consumer and thus help cut the
cost of living
Other Special Taxes Imposed
The whole line Of the Canadian gov
ernments drive on the tariff is not to
increase the cost of any imported arti-
Gle to the consumer in Canada, but to
make the British made article cheaper
than at present. Actually, the sales
tax will just about eat up the reduc-
tion on farm machinery, so the Cana
dian Treasury will not lose anything
there.
Other special taxes are imposed on
1uxuries, bank checks, kilograms, ETC.,
which are expected to make up the loss
OF revenue because Of importations
frsm Great Britain under the reduced
schedules, while the sales tax is ex-
pect4d to produce the additional rev.
enue needed.
The tariff changes just made by
Canada arc regarded by observers here
as brought about almost entirely by
the boasts of leaders in the American
Congress az to what the tariff bill they
are nuw framing would accomplish.
Canada has been viewing the claims
made for this bill with some appre-
hension. it is said, and has decided not
to wait before putting on retaliatory
duties.

Russia Salutes Ne,v Yorker Who
Gaze Life in Relieving Famine
Peasants Saved From Starvation Bow Before Casket
as Body of H. F. Blandy Begins Journey Home;
Soviet Chiefs Furnish Escort of Honor i'm Moscow

The open spaces around the casket
were strewn with flowers after the
Russian fashion by Moscow girls em-
ployed in relief tasks. AT the head OF
the coffin in an obviously sincere
tribute in misspellcd English was q
framed testimonial, the gift Of peasants
at Ufa, saying that they in spirit ac-
companied the soul of Blandy on it's
long journey home.
Blandy's former comrades and other
Americans who are engaged with for
eign relief organizations made up a
large element of the congregation that
attended the funeral services. The
sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr.
A. j. Morehead, of New York City,
who is attached to q Lutheran relief
organization.
Cable TO Mother Text
Blandy, six days before he died. had
cabled his mother that he would not
return hoIbe until he had completed his
work. This, Mr.. Morehead said should
be the guiding spirit of his associates.
At the close Of the sermon and the
singing OF hymn the casket was
borne on the shoulders of six Ameri-
cans and taken to an open white hearse
drawn by six white horses. The
hearse was preceded by a small white
chariot that WAS filled with boughs of
evergreen. The pallbearers wore white
suits with white hats and marched
ahead Of the hearse guiding its horses.
The journey afoot to the station was
seven miles.
Upon the arrival of the casket at the
railroad station it was placed in car
that was decorated with green boughs
and the Stars and Stripes. A special
courier accompanied the body on its
journey to Riga. According to pres
ent plans, the body will be accompanied
to New York by Colonel William N
Haskell, who has been in charge of
the relief workers at Moscow.

CHERRY CREEK PROMOTER
HAS HOPES FOR FUTURE

]. w. Walker of Cherry Creek was
a business visitor in Ely during the
week. NJ. Walker is n Of the
most prominent mining men In this
section Of Nevada ana has recently
devoted his entire time and attention
TO mining ground near Cherry Creek,
which is generally considered to pos
sess unusual merit.
In speaking of the outlook FOR the
Cherry Creek section Mr.. Walker
said 1t was extremely promising.
Work at tho FxcheqDer mine, which
has recently been taken under con-
troll by eastern capitalists. is being
vigorously prosecuted and shipments
of ore from the property will no
doubt be largely increased during the
summer months. Other mining prop
critics in the same vicinity and on
which a large amount of development
work has been done are now attract
ing the attention of mining men
throughout the country.
It is generally understood tnt the
only drawback to the Cherry Creek
section for several years has been
lack of capital with which to proI~
erly develop the rich mining ground
and the outlook now seems to be
that the important matter of fran
cling will oon be properly arranged

MIDNIGHT SERVICES
IN CATHOLIC CHURCH

High mass will be celebrated at
midnight in Sacred Heart church to-
night and an elaborate musical pro-
gram has been arranged.
Rev. James O'Grady, pastor of the
church, will celebrate the mass and
the members of the choir, under the
leadership of Director John Mona
CHAN, have been diligently rehears-
ing for several weeks.
Rosewig's Third Mass in Z fiat
will be sung. Mrs. J. F. Miles will
officiate at the organ and the pro-
gram, which will be beautifully rem
dered, is as follows:
Christmas Carol
Come to the Manger,' Mrs. j. w.
Russell and chorus.
"Kyrie," choir.
Gloria" choir.
"Credo,' choir.
Offertory-
"Ad Site Fidelis,' Mrs. Frank Z.
Carlin and chorus.
"Sanctus," Mrs. Delbert F. Thomp-
son and chorus.
DeltulCluS, u. T. DeCkPlUldH
and chorus.
.Agnue Del" James Doran and
chorus.
Benediction-
20 Salutaris, James Doran.
"Tantum Ergo" choir.
"Laudate Dominum,' choir.
The celebration of midnight mass
in honor of the birth of the Redeem
er of all mankind has in late years
become an event that Is eagerly
looked forward to by all to whom the
word Christmas has any real sig
nifcance, and that should reach
every human heart. No effort has
been spared by the prominent mu-
steal artists and all those interested
in the program at Sacred Heart
church this year, and the edifice will
doubtless be taxed to its capacity
when the high mass is opened at mid
night.
Father O'Grady will celebrate
mass at Ruth today at $50 anG in
Ely at II o'clock.
Tomorrow the masses will be cell
ebrated in Ely at s o'clock and In
