May Spend $8,5oo,0o0
More on Skagit Plant

The Seattle city council has de-
cided that between $S,500,00O and
$12,0O0,OOO more must be expended
on the Skagit power project before
it can be made dependable. Appli
cation will be made to the federal gov
eminent for permission to build a
masonry dam at Ruby creek, IL miles
up the Skagit from the Seattle power
house, and as soon as the permit is
granted Seattle will be ready to mark
ct more Skagit bonds. This power
project, originally estimated to cost
$4.SO0.000, already has used up more
than $11.O00,OO0; and Seattle coun
cilmen now declare that the power
promised on the original estimates of
costs cannot be produced without ex-
penditure of many more millions.
Councilman Ralph d. Nichols. who
is secretary of the so-called Estate
super-power league" and j. D. Ross,
Seattle lighting superintendent and
campaign manager for Initiative No.
81, are leaders in the movement for
more Skagit bond issues. Under their
advice the Seattle council has decid-
ed to disregard the plans and recon-
mendations of G. F. Uhden, the engi.
neer who has been in charge Of the
Skagit project from the start, which
could be carried out at much less
cost.
The Seattle council has also dis
covered that the Skagit power plant,
said to be nearing completion, can be
operated to its capacity Of $4,000
horsepower for only about six months
each year. During the remainder of
the year, on account of low water, it
will produce only about 10000 horse
power, or $4,000 at the most. In spite
Of this water shortage Nichols and
other council members propose i'm
mediate installation Of another $4,000
horsepower generating unit, at cost
of 100000.

competition and exhibition before the

make 1t one Of the big annual features
of the Western Washington Fair.
Good Racing Program

Of the best running horses which ordi-
narily would have returned to the
southern track, the horse races this
year promise more thrills than ever
before. There will be a big entry list
down from British Columbia follow
ing big and successful season there.
Added to these will be horses from
Washington, Oregon and other North
western state stables. The races will
start at $3.50 every day, and there will
be big feature event each day.
President Paulhamus spent $4,000
last year on amusements, including
$4,000 for horse racing. This year he
has arranged for the fair to spend
$4,000 on amusements alone, and the
features obtained insures thrill al
most every minute of the afternoon
and night. There will be all sorts Of
open-air circus and carnival stunts,
races on perpendicular track by
miniature automobiles, aeroplane
stunts, high diving, etc.
These will be sandwiched in be-
tween the races and horse show exhi-
billions and stunts, many of them over
tapping, so that no matter how great
the crowd there will always be some
thing doing for all to observe.
One of the most interesting "at-
fractions" arranged has been night.
ly demonstration by the Seattle and
Tacoma fire departments. What will
appear to be six-story building will
catch fire nightly, and with the ap-
pearance of fire and smoke pouring
from the windows the fire department
apparatus will dash around the track
with sirens screeching and gongs
sounding. Hating in front Of the
blaze, firemen with scaling ladders,
will run races with each other to the
top, swinging from window ledge to
window ledge. Then the big 75-foot
aerial ladders will give demonstra
lions. Rescues will be effected and
the crowds will witness all the daring
deeds that flremen in large city may
be called upon at any time to per
form.

norSe SHOW AFTERNOON ana evening during
PUYALLUP, Wash.-The Western
Washington Fair, celebrating it's "sil-
yer anniversary" on the fair grounds
at Puyallup, September 20 to October
5, will be bigger and more interesting
this year than it has ever been in the
Is years of It's history.
Addition of two new buildings, re.
modelling of others, and innumerable
improvements and refinements, to.
gether with more money spent on
amusements and better attractions,
will make this possible. The white
city," all spick and span in it's new
coat Of paint, Is now almost ready for
the reception of exhibits, and when
the visitors begin pouring into the
grounds the last Monday in Septem-
Der the improvements made will be
noticeable from the start.
Entering the main gate the crowds
will first wander into the big wom-
ans building, where will be found
a larger number of exhibits of the
handiwork of ladies than ever before
shown. This is made possible by tho
removal Of the art department to the
, new electric building. And the dis
plays will be given better display.
Handsome new glass front, electric
lighted showcases will take the place
of the tables or counters that hereto
fore have lined the walls. Mrs.
Charles Lenfesty, president Of the
Women's Auxiliary and in general
charge of the woman's exhibit, an
nounces that more and better exhib
it's than have been shown heretofore
already have been obtained. The
women of Western Washington this
year are taking greater interest in
the exhibition than ever before.
Passing on through the woman's
building the visitors will find com.
mercial exhibition hall with many
new exhibitors adding to general ex.
cellence of display made by all of
those who in years gone by have WED
with each other in presenting attrac-
tive and artistic booths.
The new electric building, 70x17O
feet, will be the next to catch the
visitors eyes. On one side of this,
the full length of the building, will be
a novel and most interesting display
by the Puget Sound Power G Light
Company, showing the possible uses
of electricity on the farm and in the
shop and in the home. A model farm
with mixers, separators, pumps fol
irrigation and every possible contri
vance for it's operation by electricity
will be shown. Then at the extreme
end Of the exhibit will be the modern
bungalow home fitted from kitchen te
parlor with electric heat, light ani
other convenience.
Big Art Display

hand.
But Blunt Bradley, that time, did not
slam down his gun. For Larry put
hand to his heart, gave gasp, gasped
again; his face went pallid to the lips,
and blue hue followed, spreading
over his countenance. Then his face
was hidden from them, for he just
crumpled forward, bowed his head.
He sagged so until he was like Mo-
hammedan at devotion when the Mez-
zein calls, John, seated by him, stared;
Blunt, standing before him, stared, too.

Say, you want snort to pull you

the scare Of the wild bordering on the
terrible, almost horrible, was increas-
ed then for John by the breaking out
of series of coyote yelps. Five little
yelps here! Then five little yelps
yonder! Then five little yelps else
where! He wandered if there were
several coyotes or only one. The sug

this the tinkle-tinkle of another pack

Fairfield in Fast
Game, Williams Field

Playing giltedge ball behind the
alright hurting of Micky Allison. the
fast aggregation representing Gam
netts Publishing Company turned
back Fairfield without any difficulty
on Williams field Saturday by a score
of 1874. The visitors started off the
game with rush. scoring two runs
in the opening frame. Gannetts
started off their scoring with bunch
of fireworks in the third. helping
themselves to Growers offerings with
great ardor.
After the first inning Allison was
invincible, striking out fifteen men
and holding the Fairfielders to four
hits, two of these being Of the scratch
variety. A fine catch by Chapman. a
clever shoe string pickoup by Simp-
son and the all round catching of
Jack Stafford featured the battle
Grover. in the box for Fairfield,
pitched n good game and deserved to
cop the decision but Nye, his battery
mate booted them in every direction,
letting in at least three runs which
were entirely uncalled for. The crowd
got laugh in the ninth inning for
every man had his eve on, the ball
and was determined to obtain one Of
the new balls for his own personal
property. The Gannetts hurler. hop
ing to obtain one of these brand new
spheres for himself shot SLOW bali
to Zeanman in the hope that the lat
ter would fly out to him. Zeaman
however. rode the ball into deep left
and scored after some weird base
stealing. Due to the high wind the
hurlers were hampered but each
gathered in a formidable list of
strikeouts. A small crowd witnessed
the game owing to the general cool
ness of the weather. Batteries: Abb
son and Stafford; Grover and Nye,
Zeaman.

high school sprung quite surprise
this afternoon on Seavern's field at
Colby College when they won the an
nual Colby Interscholastic track
meet, scoring nearly ten points
more than Ceny High Of Augusta,
who were doped out to cop first hon.
ors Skowhegan relied much on the
performance of c. Stinchheld. who
won two first places and tied Nc
Cray of Madison for first in third
event.
Skowhegan took the first honors
with a total of II points, Cony fin
ished a close second with % SO
points, while Waterville did the I'M
expected and came in third with
4 1-5 points to her credit. The 9TH
err team scores were: Madison four:
Gardiner one-fifth of point and
Winslow nothing.
Stinchfield of the Skowhegan team
was the high point winner with a
total of ID points to his credit. He
managed to break the century dash
record which was set up last year
by Harrington of Cony, establishing
a new record of ten and one-tenth
seconds. This record is liable to
stand for some time as 1t is the fast
est that has been made in prepara-
tory school circles for some time. He
shared honors OF breaking the high
jump record with McCray of Madi-
son at five feet two inches. The rec
ord was previously held jointly by
Dysart OF Skowhegan, Kendall and
Poor of Cony at five feet one-half
inch.
The mile race was one of the fea-
ture events of the afternoon with
Foss Of Skowhegan winning the
grind quite easily. At the start.
McAllister of Skowhegan took the
lead and held it for practically two
laps when Lisaaess of Cony over
took him but the lead which Lish-
ness had was :hOrt-lived as the dim
unitive runner from Skowhegan took
the lead on the final lap after play
ing a waiting game in the rear and
won the event with a number of

ord which he set up last year, win
ming the event this year in the eX-
cellent time of four minutes and 40

E. Dionne of Skowhegan, won the
44O yard dash in a pretty race with
d. Hewett Of Cony pressing him
throughout the distance. The Show
hogan runner drew away from his
Cony rival in the last 20 yards and
crossed the tape for new record
of IS seconds, eclipsing his previous
mark set last year of So SIS seconds.
w. Howell Of Cony won the $50 yard
race handily and finished well ahead
of Bernard of Waterville. The Wa
