VARIED PROGRAM
IS PRESENTED AT
CHAMBER LUNCH

That the trip by automobile to
Boulder dam site is not a difficult
nor a tiresome one was brought out
at Yesterdays Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce luncheon by w. w.
McEuen. who gave some impress
sions received on a weekend visit
to Boulder City recently made by
and El Centre party of which he
was a member. The driving time
between FL Centre and Boulder
City, according to McEuen, Is from
10 to - hours over road entirely
paved which traverSeS an interest,"
ing country now particularly beau
tiful because of the abundance OF
wild flowers.
McEuen stated he was most I'M
pressed with the extensive detail oil
the plan and organization of the
program. The dam itself is not
yet started and the enormous
amount of work which has been
done is merely a preparation Tor
its actual construction. Everything.
the speaker stated, is on such
large scale that one is not able TO
grasp how tremendous the whole
project is. Photographs OF con-
struction work, machinery and pre-
liminary preparations were passed
to those preseynt from which a gen.
eral idea of the progress beng
made was gained.
Following McEuen's talk Charles
l.. Childers urged that those pres
ent bear in mind that the Boulder
dam belongs to Imperial Valley ana
that it would not be under con-
struction if it were not for the
valley, as no other community
could have succeeded in getting 1t.
Guy E. Beynon brought out some
interesting facts on present econ
omic conditions presented at a re-
cent meeting of managers OF branch
offices of the Metropolitan Life In
surance company from all parts OF
the country. He stated that the
first three months Of 1882 showed
an encouraging movement after
1881 but the officers of his COM
pany believe the best way to meet
present conditions is to dwell less
on past prosperity and study the
possibilities of the future and to
understand that we are not SUI
fering from hard times" but
emerging from a period of soft
times. He also urged that busi-
ness men stop making comparisons
with the years 1923 and 1929, which
will probably not be equalled during
this generation, and accept condi-
tions as they arc.
To Continue Talk
Due to lack of time Beynon was
unable to complete his address and
has agreed to present further ideas
for constructive development econ-
omically at the next weeks lunch
con.
w. j. Watson, who operates the
Broadway of America courtesy car,
was present at the meeting with
Mrs. Watson and gave a short talk
one of the accomplishments of the

Broadway association which is hold
ing its annual convention in San
Diego tomorrow and Saturday.
AT the conclusion of the lunch
con meeting, r. B. WhitelaW, who
Yesterday presided over the gather
ing for the last time during his
term of office, stated that the past
two years during which he has been
president of the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce have been the best
two of the 10 he has spent in this
county. He has during that time,
he stated, learned what the COM
munity needs for growth and de-
velopment and what thought and
concentration it takes to put through
such betterments. Whitelaw also
urged that those who wished to
discuss matters of community in
terest feel free at all times to come
before the board of directors of the
chamber of which body he is still
a member, and that they could be

SHOW
MEXICANS HAVE
GOOD RECORDS

That Mexicans, contrary to the
general opinion. are no more
troublesome than other races in
the light Of law violations, was
demonstrated in figures prepared
at the district attorneys office
yesterday afternoon.
Statistics covering a period from
January 3, 1927, and relating only
10 felony charges, showed that 23ia
per cent Of the felony charges filed
in this county during that time
we're against MeXicans. while the
total Mexican population Of the
county is about 30 per cent
Complaints filed in the district
attorneys office numbered approx
imately 1898. Of which 844 were
against Mexicans. OF this num-
Der informations were filed in the
clerks office against 853 defend
ants Of all nationalities. OF the 358
only 274 were MeXicans, and Of the
MeXicanS charged it was necessary
10 try only "a. The balance Of the
Mexicans pleaded guilty. or the
charges were dismissed for lack of
evidence.
This brought out the fact
greater percentage of Mexicans
than any other race pleads guilty.
This survey does not include
misdemeanor cases in justice courts
about Imperial Valley, where the
number of Mezicans undoubtedly
is larger than in superior court.

NEWS OF MCABE DISTRICT

Mrs. Baller and their children left.
the first of the week, for Silverton,
Ore, making the trip by train. Mr..
and Mrs Baller have been farming
in McCabe district for several years
and leave many friends behind on
their departure.
An extended visit Of several weeks
with Mrs. John P Wagner ended
for Miss Beatrice Clayton, her sis
ter. of Puente. when she returned
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon
Clayton and Othal Wells, Of that
city. The latter were week end
visitors Of the Wagoners.
On Thursday evening, Mr.. and
Mrs. Evan T. Hewes dined with
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Heckelman.
Work began Tuesday noon, May
10, on complete repairs for the Nc
Cabe school buildings. Although
some other minor work will be
done. the most important enter
prise is the repairing of all roofs.
This will mean the painting of
Shingled roofs and application of
tar and rock to the other roofs.

these farmers Of the future to sens
IDLY produce and market agricul-
tural commodities, to only II per
cent of them in the state.
IN the Smith-Hughes type of vo-
cational agriculture, boys are re-
quired to carry a supervised agri-
cultural project of a commercial
scope, in addition to regular class
room instruction. Agricultural
mechanics courses designed to
train these future farmers to build
farm structures and repair or ad-
Just farm machinery, are also pro-
vided in many high schools.
There has been an annual in
crease in the number OF Smith
Hughes agriculture ! departments
in California, and a like increase in
the enrolment However, with ap-
proximately $4,000 boys living on
California farms, not yet receiving
training in the vocation in which
most of them will make their liv-
ing. the supply of skilled farmers
of the future is far behind the de-
mand'.

.Krem, N. Oak.
Editor Of The Tribune:
Much has been written about the
laWless acts Of the coal operators of
Harlan county, Kentucky, some Of
whom are accused by the miners Of
hiring only those who have killed at
least one person and who have killed
men in cold blood who were suspected
OF being union organizers.
Relief stores have been blown up
with dynamite, people kidnapped and
beaten up, gardens torn up by Off
GERS stopping relief to miners and
their sick and starving families.
How the descendants of the men
who licked the British at Kings
Mountain can stand such treatment
is hard to understand. How can SUCH
big companies as Ford, the steel trust,
and others who made big profits last
year expect to starve and work, too?
Miners have been denied the right
to assemble and must get permission
from the mine companies before any
outsiders can visit them. Men and
women writer's of world renown are
chased out of the state and a student
delegation sent to investigate was ar
rested, threatened, Jailed, and even
driven away.
The delegation represented almost
every university and college in a
neighboring state.
People ask what can be done when
such tyranny and brutality are used
to hold people in slavery. People can
help by sending kilograms to the gov
errors of both states and also by
sending food to the starving miners.
Having lived in the south and know
ing how black and white labor is
treated, it is easy for me to see why
people flock north from slavery con-
ditions. Methodist ministers were
murdered for preaching abolition OF
slavery. But it was abolished and this
will be.
Sincerely,
r.. GIBSON.

new PARK PROGRAM
STARTED BY BOARD
Will Construct New Tennis and
Horse Shoe Courts at
Riverside

Construction of four new tennis
courts and four new horseshoe courts
are among projects to be undertaken
by the Mandan park bard under a
program this spring, r. r. Lutz, land
scape commissioner. said Friday.

Memorial park in the city,
Flowers are being planted in River
side park and a general cleanup of
the grounds has been undertaken.
The trees are being trimmed and
landscaping will be undertaken with
in the next few days.
Project Abandoned
A project, which called for the
planting Of trees on the heights to the
north and northwest Of Mandan, was
abandoned this year because Of the
expense involved, Lutz said. The plan
has been shelved only temporarily and
probably will be undertaken in 1888
or 1894.
Considerable agitation for the con-
struction Of swimming pool in Riv-
erside park has been heard in Man
dan and the park board is expected
to make It's construction the next ma
jor project. Lutz said it would not
be started this year but that it is
hoped pool can be constructed with
in the next two years.
Under tentative plans 1t would be
built near the Heart river, water
from which would be used to fill the
pool. The problem of sewage dis
posal will affect the project, Lutz said,
and some means must be adopted to
insure pure water.
Organize Club
Organization of horseshoe Clue
has been completed in Mandan and
Ole Syvrud, president. is planning a
series of tournaments. It Is expect
ed that a tourney between enthusiasts
in Bismarck and Mandan will be ar
ranged.
Arthur Olson, who acted as pro-
fessional and ground keeper at the
municipal golf course last year. has
again taken over the management OF
the links.
Pathways have been improved and
greens smoothed and oiled. The
course was slightly changed when No.

ton on the fairways.
Players have been using the course
for the last two weeks and Olson es-
Inmates that it is being more popular
than last year.

DENIES ATHLETICS
OVEREMPHAS|ZEDbY
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL
Editorial Shows Students Just
as Interested i'm Scholar.
ship and Music

Bismarck high school students OBJ
tect to charges that their school puts
too much emphasis on athletics.
An editorial in the Bismarck High
Herald cites figures regarding stu
dents in non-athletic extra -curricular
activities in an effort to show tina:
the school does no over-emphasizc
sport.
The editorial follows:
Many people are under the i'm
preston that Bismarck high school
puts too much emphasis on athletics
and does not support other activities
TO any great extent. Is this true? Have
we low scholastic record? Are we
disinterested in other activities? Most
certainly not.
During the recent local and dis
trict contests that were held in Bis
marck, the number of students par
ticipating in the declamatory and
musical events was very large. There
are SO members in the band; nine
students were in other musical di-
visions such as singing and piano
playing: four were in the shorthand
and tipping contest; nine girls en-
tered the defamation contest; four
boys entered the oratorical contest,
and one the reading; there are five
members in the debate squad; and Is
students took part in the ore-act play
contest. Totaling the figures, you
find that 81 students represented Lis
1narck in the various contests. There
was a cast and orchestra of 81 high
school students in the operetta, THE
Fire Prince" Three members of the
journalism class have won honorable
mention in Quill and Scroll contests
and seven members of the class have
been admitted to the Quill and Scroll
Honorary Society of High School
Journalists.
THE Junior Playmakers have a
membership Of 60 and the Bismarck
high orchestra has one of 20. This
adds to the proof that athletics is not
the only activity that Bismarck high
school is interested in.
Our students have good averages
and not only have them in high
school but keep them at the UNIVERSE
ties and colleges they attend. In
English placement tests where the
average was ~ points. Agnes Fleck
had 1873 points. Jean Mudgett l52 and
Jack Zuger 1873.
Surely these points conclusive, ~
prove that Bismarck is interested not
only in athletics but in other activi-
ties where they have large member
ships and are successful"
