From the report of the battle which took place on Fourth Avenue yesterday afternoon between Bill" Patterson and Windy Wagner, the argument started over a fox skin. In any case it wound up by Patterson being knocked uncon- scious due, it is thought, from his head coming in contact with the pavement. Wagner, an old timer from the Kenai country, spent the night as guest of the city and this morning, when he appeared before City Magistrate Al D- Balder- ston, he was fined $50 and costs. '

NO MORE WENA1CHEE
SOUTHERN EXTENSIONS

What appears to have been the final
blow dealt the hopes of the proposed
Wenatchee Southern railroad was de-
livered February IA, by the Interstate
Commerce commission when it denied
the road a further extension of time
and automatically cancelled permits
sion to build the line.
The proposed road would have con-
nected Wenatchee with Kenrewick by
a route beginning at Wenatchee and
following the Columbia river south
through Beverly, White Bluffs, Han
ford. and Ric;lland to connection
with the o. w. r. and N. few miles
west OF Kennewick 1t would have
tapped four transcontinental roads,
the Great Northern, the Milwaukee.
the Northern Pacific and the o. w.
R. and N.
The road has been in the promotion
stage for the last few years having
first secured certificate of necessity
from both the State Board OF Public
Works and the, Interstate Commerce
commission. Engineers had surveyed
the route and quite little of the
right of way had been acquired.
Difficulties in financing were Ell
countered from. the first and this
caused several applications for extern
sion of time in which to start con-
struction.
Ed. S. Russell, president of the
road, does not take the final ruling of
the Interstate Commerce commission
very seriously He is quoted in the
Wenatc,1ee World as saying that the
road has the sanction of the depart
nent of public works OF this state;
is as much going concern today as
ever, and that the line will be built.
Permission is not needed, Mr.. Russell
contends, from the /. G.. C. to build
within the sovereign state of Wash
ington.

is twofold, the election of one school
director for three year term and the
voting on an extra 8 mill levy, asked

fathers paper last February. there was some talk among Jackson resi- dents about the need of a water works system, county authorities were trying to improve the health of mountain people by sending out public health nurses. and there was a movement afoot to build a thing hitherto unknown-a modern hard road through the county.
 The Jackson Times began speak ing it's sentiments.
 Week after week, the girl editor told her readers of the advantages of a modern waterWork system. Mountain folk were told that their babies would be healthier and hap pier if they would receive public health nurses and take their g.- vice as to health and sanitary con ditions. Week after week, there were boosts on the good roads plan.
 Today road has been built all the way across the county, the health service is recognized and valued, and contracts have been signed for beginning of work on q modern waterworks system for Jackson.

WOMAN, 69, PLANS
 TRIP OVER NIAGARA
Orders Rubber Ball in which to
 Leap High Falls

Hagerstown, Md, Aug. 16.-Thrills are just as enjoyable at 69 as at 19 and if Mrs Susan D. Grove wants to go over Niagara Falls in a rubber ball-well, that's her business. The gray haired widow, who long has been prominent in church ac- tivities here, really is in earnest about the treacherous adventure. She isn't after publicity, she says, nor money, nor fame. Shte likes thrills and knows that this will be a brand new one.
 Years ago Mrs. Grove, who now is 69 and has five children, rode in an airplane against the advice of her physician-and she has beeu flying ever since.
 Afraid? Not Bit!
 I'm not one bit afraid of the consequences of going over the falls" she said. "I'm a widow ami my own boss and old enough to know what I'm doing. What's ittle danger at my age? I've flown with the best pilots in Baltimore and Washington and I've dared them to try and scare me.
 They tried every stunt they knew have gone over the falls and so can L The ball will be built by rub Der company in Akron, O., and l expect to make the trip during thh first week of September.
 I'm firmly resolved to see this thing through, despite the protests of my family. I kuow I will come through all right I have great faith in God and I know He will help me. It has been my ambition for years and I'm going through with if.
 Her Project Opposed
 My sons and daughters are try ing every way possible to stop me. They have written the Chamber of Commerce of Niagara Falls asking them to prohibit me from going over the Falls and they are doing everything under the sun to check my plans.
 Tt doesn't matter to me if they are opposed to my adventure. Aft CT all there is no one with the power to stop me. I realize a num- Der of people have been killed in their attempt 10 go over the falls but that is a chance I'm willing 70 take. I'm sure a big rubber bal will be the most practical for such q trip"
 Mrs. Grove is concerned only about how she can secure financial backing, but she will not require very much. The big rubber ball, with hollow compartment 'u which she can curl up, probably will be furnished her free.

 Last year the Baltimore & Ohio railroad collected $6,4 for fares, berths and food in connection with the funeral of the late Senator Jones of New Mexico.
 Few ceremonies here are more remarkable than the Sunday eulogies. The Senate eulogizes merely it's own, but the House al ways eulogizes a dead senator, thought it may wait until two or three years after his death. The House custom is to eulogize four or five deceased members on the same day, and few attend except those who are to speak. From a half dozen to a score eulogs.5 are accorded each one.

DEAD CONGRESSMEN PROVE EXPENSIVE
National Treasury Must Pay for
 Costly Funerals

Washington, Aug. 16-When an ordinary person dies it's just too bad and his surviving relatives have to figure out how to meet the fun eral expenses. But when @ member of Congress passes to his reward his death and burial are expensive TOT the federal treasury.
 When a Congressman dies an adjournment is taken in respect to the departed brother, resolu- tion5 of sorrow are drawn up, a committee of 10 or 15 men is al, pointed to escort the remains hme, q Sunday is set aside to Congressional Record and a spe. cial volume and the bill may run as high as $2O,0O0. No matter how obscure a member may have been nor how unpopular, he gets all this attention when he is dead. congressman dies it's pretty ex- pensive. When a California mem- Der passed away a few years ago it cost $5,335 in railroad fares alone. for there was a committee of II and a sergeant -at-arms ana one or two miscellaneous attend ants, as usual, went along with the party. In such instances 1t Is sometimes difficult 10 recruit a full committee, but there are us ually cOngreSSmen who have never been to California and appreciate the free ride with expenses paid, The funeral committee travels in a private car, and if the death comes toward the end of a session the opportunity to serve and do considerably on his mileage allow

Protection of Home Market
OF First Importance, Won
Declares at Tariff Hearing

Washington, d. c., (ILNS).-A
strong plea for the protection of the
American market against products
produced by foreign low-paid labor
was made by Matthew Woll, president
of Americas Wage Earners' Protect
i've Conference, at hearing held by

slider tariff revision.
Mr.. Woll made short statement
urging American valuation in impos-
ing tariff rates and showing why, in
the opinion of Americas Wage Earn
ers' Protective Conference, foreign
valuation defeats the purpose of the
tariff and puts American labor in di-
rect competition with the lowest paid
workers in the world, largely nullify-
ing the benefit of immigration re-
strictions.

pration for the Topock scheme which
will constitute a free gift to Califor-

ter stuff which constitutes two-thirds
of California's effective argument"
Sought To Buy Of California
BY this proposal the power com
panies were suggesting buying off
California at an expense of some $780,
O0O,000 from the pockets of Federal
taxpayers, in order that development
of the Colorado's power might be left
to private companies.
The memorandum, after disposing
Of the all-American canal and other
features of the project, continues:
"The foregoing covers California; :
four cardinal points, and every one of
them can be set up in a way that will
appeal to the East. In the meantime
if the suit for adjudication of rights
can be gotten under way early the
publicity resulting from the taking
of testimony will be an educational
feature that will make everybody slow
about committing the government to

Conincident with the revelations on
the fight against Boulder Dam and
Muscle Shoals, comes news from New
York and Boston of plan by Eugene
Greenhut, organizer of Hahn Depart

chain of daily newspapers through
the merger of existing papers in the
smaller cities. The plan, it is announ-
ced, is being pushed vigorously in the
South, the Middle West and the New
England and Atlantic states.
Herman j. Schwartz, an associate
of Greenhut's, declared that the or
ganizers were not inspired by propa-
gandist motives, but by the business
objectives of obtaining economies and
better business management through
the affiliation of papers now inde-
pendent.
