MATT KROLL MAY
 BE SAFE IN POLAND
Former East Thompson Farmer Wanted For Murder of His
 Wife,
Illegal Passports May be Means of
 Getting Him

Matt kroll. former East Thompson farmer and cattle dealer. wanted for the alleged murder of his wife in Worcester over a year ago. may have reached safe haven in Poland, according to information received by the Worcester police, who have been seeking to get krol back to the United States so that he may be put on trial in Worcester on the homicide charge.
 II is understood that kroll entered Poland under a fraudulent passport and if so it Is within the power of the Polish government to deport him. Unless this is done, according Co in- formation from the state department. kroll can not be brought back
 At the present time there are no treaties existing between the United States and Poland for the extradi- tien of persons and Worcester police are now doubtful if Kroll will be brought to that city to answer to the charge of murder.
 Worcester police officials are wait ing further word from Washington at a later date, whether or not Kroll will be deported from the country to which he escaped after a nation wide search was conducted for him here.

TRIP TO POWER
PROJECTS WILL
BE MADE SOON

Fred Hubbel president of the Doug
las chamber of commerce, named AL
bert Stacey, member of the board of
directors, Wednesday as the man who
will represent this city on the twin city
tour of power projects in the central
part Of the state. While nothing has
been heard from the Bisbee chamber, 1T
is generally understood that they will
appoint Earl Salms as their representa-
tive. T. j. Lesson will make the trip
as a representative of the Sulphur
Springs valley. The trip is for the pur-
pose of gathering information on sue
cessful power projects that may be
used in forming the Sulphur Springs
valley project.
The date for the starting of the trip,
which will be made by motor, has not
vet been lHset gbut will be some time
before March s. On that date the mass
meeting of valley residents will be
held at5the McNeal school house for the
purpose of laying definite plans and
arriving at a definite agreement for
the building of an electric power line
through the shallow water district OF
the lower valley
Great interest in the project is be-
ing shown not only among the farm
ers but among the business men OF
both Bisbee and Douglas 1t has been
definitely agreed by both the BlsDee
and Douglas chambers of commerce
that the future of this entire district
depends on the successful working OF
this project, as the great need of the
farmers in the valley is cheap ana
efficient means of securing irrigation
water. Climatic and soil conditions in
the valley have proven to be of the
finest possible and even with the use
of inferior methods of pumping
water many farmers are making great
success of their work
1t has been repeatedly pointed out
that the first market for produce from
an electric power district will be a
home market to the extent of S2,OOO,OOO
as at this time statistics show that
that sum is sent to foreign places each
year by Bisbee and Douglas to pur-
chase things that can be grown to bet
ter advantage here than they can any
where else.
