independence Day Celebration

The Independence Day cele- bration Friday was a distinct success in every particular, al- though somewhat abbreviated in scope as compared to earli- CT years, and was greatly en- joyed by residents of the dist rict from both sides of the in- ternational boundary line. In fact the crowd of celebrants in cluded almost as many of our Canadian cousins as Ameri- cans.
 The program, carried out on the baseball grounds, included field sports for children and adults, a baseball game be- tween Hyder and Stewart, balloon ascension and para chute drop, and a dance in the evening under the auspices of the Pioneers of Alaska that drew a very large crowd and was most enjoyable.
 The streets and business houses were gaily decorated with the national colors and presented a decidely pretty ap- pearance and the festive small boy and his firecrackers pro- vided ample enthusiasm of the noisy type.
 Hyder won the ball game, z to 5, with Sam. McNeill, crack finger of the Stewart team in the box to equalize the dispar- ity between the picked-up To- cal aggregation and the we'll organized Stewart club. The game was closely contested and decidedly interesting thru out.
 Following are the winners of the field sports, for which cash prizes were given.

FLOOD CONTROL
 PLANS OUTLINED
Report and recommendations of Board of Engineers, U. s. War Department, for control of Salmon River Floods.

VI AoAo OA AHSAhScFS, os S
 War Department, for control
 of Salmon River Floods.
 Continued from last week) A log and plank revetment
 constructed by private inter ests is located south of the saw
 mill to prevent further en-
 croachments by the river upon
 sawmill property. This struct-
 ure is of poor design and re- quires continual maintenance and additional brush work at exposed points.
 Additional works of a tempo. rary character have recently been completed by the Terri tory at a cost of $7,500. These consist of an extension of Dike No. 2, the clearing of a partial floodway and the creation of a low stage diversion channel through the floodway.
 Estimated cost of all the above works: Dike No. l, S8,- 900; Dikes Nos. 2 and 3, $1O,- 900; Revetment, $7,000; 1929 work, 7,500: Total, $32,5O0.
 Using 300 as the number of acres protected or partially protected by the above, an ex- penditure of $108.33 per acre has already been made, of which $81.67 has been contrib uaed by local interests and $26.66 by the United States. These works are considered in- adequate for the permanent protection of the town from floods ,and it is believed that Dike No. 2 is the only work other than the 1929 diversion channel that could economic ally be used in any comprehen- sive scheme of protection.
 Impounding or regulating works are impracticable in this case because there is no suitable economical location for same. The excessive length of dam required, the apparent ly unstable foundation condit- ions, and the flashy nature of the floods would necessitate structure, the cost of which would be excessive; also, the pool, which would be of made quate section unless a high dam were constructed, would tend to fill up rapidly due to large amount of detritus car ried in floods of this river.
 Channel enlargement is i'm practicable on account of the fact that low water conditions would so choke up such a channel that it would be use less during floods. Due also to the great difference between low water and flood stages, the amount of excavation required would make the cost of such works excessive.
 A combination of levees, channels rectification, and di- version into flood ways will i've adequate protection against 15-year floods at min imum cost. As shown on map herewith, the rehabilitation of Dike No. 2 and the 700-foot temporary extension thereto would carry both low and flood stages away from the road and the town toward the higher part of the bar. Clearing of floodways through the woods, as shown, would permit the greater part of the flood dis charge to thence pass over to the low ground on the south side of the valley, and a levee 5000 feet long down the crest of the valley floor from the

Judge Estes Passes Out of The
Picture

Federal Judge William L. Estes has passed out Of
the picture. He was 60. He was appointed to the
federal bench ten years ago. He was widely known
the country over. His last big case was the Creager
libel suit against Golfers Weekly. and five days be-
fore death called him, he had been for
promotion to Pres Hoover py Sen. Morris Sheppard.
He was in the prime Of life, he enjoyed an enviable
reputation as lawyer and iurist and citizen, and his
demise makes it possible for the president to name
Two Texans as wearers Of the federal ermine. the
first, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge
Estes. and the second a judge for the district created
by act Of congress in the closing days Of the session.
These are rich plums. There is a handsome salary
attached and the tenure is life with the privilege OF
retiring at 10 on a handsome yearly stipend there
after until the call comes.

Publicity
Laredo gets a break in the current
issue Of the American Mercury,
and receives a lot of excellent pu-
blicity IN an article entitled Seen
and Heard in Mexico by Harvey
Ferguson.
The article deals with the char
acter OF the Mexican. and its
gradual Americanization. due TO
the influence and proximity Of the
United States. and TO the large and
ever increasing number Of tourists
travelling in the southern republic.
One thing that will tend as
much as any to expedite this
AmericaniZation OF Mexico is the
highway which the Mexican govern
ment is building from Laredo to
Mexico City" writes Mr.. Ferguson.
1t is already complete as far as
Monterrey. and many American
autoists go that far. while a few
have bumped over the cowpaths to
the capital.

Rhode Island Noses Out North
Dakota

In the census count Of 1920 Rhode Island was at
the tail end OF the list Of states. Now North Dakota
has taken the place OF little Rhody at the tail end
and the New England borough has the second lowest
place. North Dakota count this year was placed at
68lr273. This is the census standing of the two states:
Rhode Island 6S5,0l7; North Dakota 6sl, 273. There
is to be a new congressional apportionment and the
North Dakotans stand to lose one Of their represen-
tatives. AS far as wealth per capita goes Rhode Is
land leads North Dakota so to 1. They are growers
of things in North Dakota; they are makers Of things
in Rhode Island.

and curioS. and above all a cheap
and unlimited supply Of liquor"
.
Mr.. Ferguson is correct as far as
he goes, but he stops short OF in
forming the dear public that a Sc
cond and more elaborate system Of
paved highways is being cons
tructed to Matamoros, and will
connect the Valley with the capital
of Mexico by an even shorter and
better route.
It is safe to predict that the
majority Of tourists travelling into
Mexico will journey via the Magic
Valley, thereby combining a trip
to the nations coming summer
and winter resort with a trip into
a foreign country.
And another thing Mr.. Ferguson
didn't know anything about was
Mexico's new policy Of encouraging
European tourists, news which was
announced in yesterdays Herald.
"At present the American tourist
is somewhat uncomfortable IN Mex
leo. Climate Is chilly even in sum-
mer and most Of the hotels are n
heated. Food is bad. but every
thing the tourists needs will spring
up beside the road, as it always
does"
True enough. Things are already
beginning to change, new hotels
are being built. and the dear
tourist will find a modern country
with all modern conveniences
awaiting him. This. however. will
not mar the picturesqueness Of the
country.
Disappointment
We were all hot and bothered
yesterday about an excellent story
that was in the offing. Grabbing a
ream Of white paper we went after
it-only to have the story explode
in our face.
It was rumored that three Chi
cago gangsters. tired OF the racket
and having made their shekels,
had moved TO Matamoros and gone
into business for themselves
Legitimate business.
Here's a chance to get some in
side dope on the gang racket we
thought joyfully. Maybe these
birds knew AL Capone. and that
newspaper reporter that was re-
Gently killed. and maybe they will
spill some stuff that will create
headlines"
Nothing doing. As soon as the
Chicagoans learned that we ERE
connected with a newspaper, they
were free with hospitality but disap-
pointingly silent as TO gang actt-
vities.
Which vas Just another story
gone wrong.
