8. II. s. Wins over w. II. S. oI.90

The fastest game of basketball seen
this season in Skowhegan was played
last Friday night in Heselton Hall be-
tween the girls of S. II. S. and the
girls team from Waterville high
school. The game was thrilling from
the start. partly because of the fact
that S. II. S. was defeated 24-5 by
Waterville on the latter's home floor
a few weeks ago. The local girls
were out to win last Friday night
and they fought hard for their laurels.
At the end of the first. period the
score was 70 in favor of Skowhegan,
at the end of the second 12-11 in
favor of the visitors. Twenty-Five
seconds before the final whistle blew.
the score was >20-20, first one team
making a basket and then the other,
when a foul was called on Waterville
for running with the ball. Chabot
shot the foul for Skowhegan, making
the final score 21-20 in favor of the
local lassies. The teams were very
evenly matched and both teams work
ed hard. Coach Hendricks accom-
panied the Waterville girls. The
following is the summary.

others from the underworld. Though Wheeler had done more than any other individual, by his attitude o1 vindictivene ss and unfairness, to dis credit the whole investigation satur- nalia, the democrats defended him until he boIted the ticket and went over to LaFollette. At that point they discovered with the facility of Bryan in mental gymnastics that he was liability instead of an asset to the party. As bunch of grapes he turned decidedly sour.
 Of course, the LaFollette group welcomed him as a returned prodi- gal. He was of their kind-juicy grapes. He had been accused of dis loyalty during the war in his support of the "wobbles" and such was his record that President Wilson refused to reappoint him as district attorney The LaFollette candidacy has been indorsed by the socialist party and by Eugene Debs. Wheeler had been a defender of the "Wobbles" in Mon tana. Yet he had gone to the sen ate and made name for himself as deserving democrat and he was 8 life saver for LaFollette, who had been casting about over the whole country for a running mate who had bolted "Morgan's attorney"

talk against Brother Charlie's run ming mate-and proclaimed his ad- hesion to the LaFollette bandwagon than the LaFollette generals, like Archimedes, were shouting Eureka they had found it. Like all orthodot candidates for the vice presidency Wheeler protested to the high heav- ems that he never would accept and accepted the next day.
 The democrats were strong for Wheeler when he was dramatizing himself in the senate during his bit ter assaults on Daugherty. He was a perfectly acceptable democrat when he was trying to drive from the cab met a man who was not permitted to make any defense of the attacks made upon him by his political de- tractors and by thugs, ex-bandits, men he had caused to be indicted for violation of the federal rtatutes, and

Up to the present time it has been impossible to secure any concerted action in congress on establishing lights and beacons to the westward of Seward, despite the fact that pop ulation and travel has rapidly in creased in this section since the Starr was placed on the run. Sixteen blinker lights, now in isolated and dangerous positions to navigation are out, and have been out for some months. At other points it is inn possible for sea captains to make the harbor without awaiting daylight to get landfall, and oftentimes the safety of vessel and passengers are menaced by delay. In no spot in the world probably, does the wind blow so fercely and frequently as in the North Pacific and the Boring sea. Even blinker lights, which can be erected at comparatively small cost, would be very acceptable. Con- gress pays little attention to the needs of navigators beyond sending cutters to pull their vessels thru the pass ,or render aid after shipwreck.

GRAPES-SWEET OR SOUR?

The LaFollette folk are elated in plucking some luscious grapes from the democratic arbor and the demo- crats are saying that the alarmed things are sour and not worth eating anyway all because one Burton K. Wheeler, Montana senator, has bolt ed the democratic ticket and joined up with the pinkish movement from Wisconsin.
 Wheeler has not altogether burn ed his bridges behind him, for he says he will be good enough to help some of the deserving democrats in Montana to pull through but he re- fuses to vote for "Morgan's attor- ney.' No sooner had he delivered himself of his blast at the democratic nominee-possibly taking cue from William J. Bryan's convention

In case this is done it will mean disaster to the nation. In 1924 this situation arose, there being no choice for president in the electoral college and the election be- ing thrown into the house of repre- sentatives, John Quincy Adams, was elected.

Capital Coming
to Valley with
Opportunities
Continued from page u

tler outlay, has been shy, madam;
| devilish shy.
But with the Boulder Dam
| Everyone knows the steady stream
! of millions that has been pouring
into Los Angeles for three years
i for investment, and the halt that
has been called on the wild specula-
tion in land. The investment in
the downtown district of the metrop-
oils is warranted, for prices are
surely increasing, but many thou
sands of people will look further
afield now for something better
than bald mesa at $4,000 per lot.
Opportunity is here right now,
with the promise of the Boulder
Dam. Insured against encroach
ments of the turbid flood of the
Colorado, the land of the garden
spot Of America, the most produc
tive area on earth, will advance and
advance in value, until every acre
is under cultivation and every acre
will be producing its present value
once a year. 1t has been done at
the present time, and it will be-
done countless times again. And
Capital knows it and wants to get
in here. while Opportunity has not
been wooed too extensively, while
vet the bloom of unSophistication
lies upon her cheek.
Many Financial Men Here
There have been more financial
men probing into the financial pos
sibilities here during the past few
weeks than for years before. There ;
are men selling all kinds>of stock,
loan and mortgage companies want |
ing to get established, and repre-
sentatives of financial houses per-
ambulating about everywhere.
Because there are millions of
spare money for investment in land
that is secure, in land that is sure ,
of producing Il crop, land not sub
.iect to the vagaries of climate, land
watercd by rains that fail thou
sand miles away, water assured, sure
and as regular as the beating of al
pulse. We take stoll from Il thou
sand watersheds, watersheds that
have been pouring their abundance
down the valley for unknown geo
ogieal periods, and the product of
those watersheds is to be harncsscd
at last, damned and metcred, foot
by foot to the thirsty lands of the
Imperial Valley.
Capital knows that the waters will
be tanned, controlled beyond per-
adventure With the building of the
Boulder Dam, and that is why Capi
tai is advancing with the glad hand.
