Political Leeches
Phone Main 2543

AS usual during a political cam
palgn, there are great number of
colored men in Tacoma who are
hanging around the various political
offices and harassing the campaign
managers, claiming they have a po-
litical following and influence with
colored voters. Every one of them
claims to have the colored vote in
his vest pocket. These political
leeches are a detriment to the adj
vancement of the race. They adj
vance all kinds of schemes in order
to have the campaign managers pay
them few dollars. Most of these
leeches are known and they should
receive the disapproval of our race.
The sooner we are rid of them, the
better off the race will be.

construction Of the Boulder Canyon

ulation as to just who would be

capable irrigation engineers in the
world, and that his selection from a
wide field had been approved by Sec
retary West and those interested in

of the building of the Pathfinder
Dam in Idaho and has supervised a
number Of other government recla-
nation projects in the west. His

Building Of the dam at Black Can
yon will be one Of the greatest en-
gineering tasks in history, surpassed
only by the building of the Panama
Canal. The total cost of the project
has been set at $165, ,000, 600, as COM
pared with 1882 100000 expended in
the construction of the Panama Can
al, and $l27, 100000 for the Suez
Canal.
The bureau said today that no rec.
lamation or irrigation project in his.
tory equals the Boulder Dam propos-
nj either in size or cost.
