MT. LAKE PARK
Election to Be Held

The annual municipal election al
Mountain Lake Park will be held OF
Tuesday, August 9, between th'
hours of and z p. m, in the Office
of the Mayor and Council, next t.
Martins store. There are two va
cancies to be filled for Councilmen
There are only two nominees, namely
Gay Hayden and James Elliott. Not
withstanding this, however, each cleo
tor should exercise his right of fran
chise.
Fire Plugs Needed
We have harped on this subject sc
often, we are afraid much repetition
will become monotonous. However
a letter received by the writer is sc
much in point that we venture to give
it, at least in part. Referred to the
article in The Republican of last
week, water Needed to Save Homes
Outside of Oakland, the author Of
the letter says:
cit is of great Importance to the
citizens and property owners of the
Park to make some provision to as
sist the Fire department of Oakland
When the fire engines respond to q
call from Mountain Lake Park all
that can be done is to use the $50 gal
Ions of water each engine carries. II
that extinguishes the blaze, good and
well. If not, then all that can be done
is to stand by and watch the building
burn.
Oakland can we'll be proud of her
Fire department and it has always
responded willingly and promptly to
our calls.
"Under many streets of the Park
run four-inch water lines and these
can be tapped and fire plugs installed
at small expense, and six of these
plugs can be placed at a total cost
of not more than $3.50. This would
result in a lowered insurance rate
more incentive to build homes and in
addition the Fire Department would
be assured that we were doing ou1
part to assist it in its volunteer work
"While the funds of the town are
limited, we feel that if there is any
way possible for the authorities to in
stall two or three plugs this sum-
mer, the same should be DONE"
Extension Workers Doing Good Work
We presume it is just human nature
to be impatient of results, and to
desire immediate returns for our eff
forts. But it is an old saying (modi'
fed to suit the occasion) "all things
come to him who waits he hust-
les while he waits. This, it appears
to us, applies in large measure to
the efforts now being made to put
the future of the Park on solid and
permanent basis. We must bear in
mind that Rome was not built in 9
day. First the seed and then the har-
vest.
Those of us who may feel some dis
appointment because large delega'
tons and conferences have not beer
brought to the Park frequently this
summer, must realize that those in
charge of the development of the ex-
tension idea have worked under un-
usual adverse conditions, and the
wonder is that they have attained
any measure of success at all. But
even under these conditions larger
crowds of people have attended the
special day programs this year thar
for number of years. We are con-
fident of final results that will satisfy
the most exacting.

THE LURE OF ROMANCE

The of $80,000 is being raised in Vancouver, B. o. for the purpose of digging for buried treasure Co., cos Island, off the west coast of Panama.
 The prize sought is estimated at between ninety and 100 millions of dollars.
 Since the day when piracy was recognized as gen tenans game buried treasure has held the imagination of the adventurer and his tmorous brother. T e thrill evoked by tales of sailing the Spanish main, pieces of eight duboons and chests of jewels echoes in the stories of the argonaut who ganered fabulous for tunes from Caforias placers in 49 and their proto types who wresed the horde of shining nuggets from the Klondike.
 Let us suppose that this S80,000 expended in Alaska in search for such promised returns One would only have to stop at the famous Treadwe the Kenne colt find this Then suppose the struck pay in the Kondke and other camps had been represented pool with S800O0 behind the and their finds had been divided between 80 men who put up the money Thi s would have given each A,375,OOO
 As long as there musty maps pretending to show the location of buried treasure there will be will risk life and fortune to find 1t.
 In the meantime there many hundred square miles of Alaska yet not prospected. The regions may be reached in comfort by rail- water airplane dogteam
 One aggregation of treasure hunters di iscovered d S4O0000OO0 buried in the gravels of the Fairbanks dis trct after many millions had been dug out There may be equal amount at any of dozen places in which prospecting has shown merely the presence of gold the surface There hundreds of lodes showing values at grassroos And all awaiting the treasure hun ter who would penetrate to the buried treasure chest
 Why go to Cocos Island?

ALUMNI CAGE TEAM
 TAXES FAST CAME FROM
 HI SCHOOL CLOSE SCORE

The Ponies were trotting along in nice shape last evening until the third count when their feet slipped and the Dobbins trampled them 31 to 28.
 The Seward High School basket ball squad looked like a different team for three quarters, but alas and alack, and a couple more, be- cause Andy Peterson, ill, was not in the lineup; in the third quarter the Alumni shot their carcasses full of holes, quartered them, then hung their hides on the wall.
 But listen, gentle or wild reader, it was real game and worth -four bits" of anybody's money. Edwin Sandbeck captured high honorS from his team mates by his excep- tionally good floor work and ac- curate ball tossing.
 For the Alumni, the invincible Ray Manthey again proved sure death" to any ball near the goal. The claret began to flow from Benny Benson's nose when some stiff" took his head for the ball, but Ben just let loose a resounding war-whoop which made the rafters quiver like a jazz baby's fanny" and dug in for more. As the game progressed various lads kissed" the floor but no one was killed or wounded.
 Arbiter Roger Paul made the squads hustle, called 'em close but not too close, especially when some stalwart began polishing the floor with rear-end action, as it were. Not a squabble over the decisions was heard from the players and not even murmer from the spec tators.
 Here is why the Ponies should have harnessed the game. The first quarter ended in their favor, S-2; and in the second quarter, 12-6. The fatal third saw the Alumni tie 'em, then pass them, ending with the score 25-16 in favor of the Alumni. Then up jumped the last quarter Taking the bit in their teeth, the Ponies ran their score up to 28 but the Dobbins, canter- ing at an easy gait, put in six more points for total of 31.
 Point getters for the Alumni were Jack Rosness, 2; Ray Manthey, l4; Don Shellhorn, 3; Otto Sandbeck, 3, and Guy Manthey, TO- For the Ponies: Ed Manthey, 8; Benny Benson, g; Nick Heidel, 5; Edwin Sandbeck, 4, and Adolphus Rod gers, Esq, zero.
 Credit should be given Otto Sand beck for his guard work; to Nick Heidel who was in there fighting every minute; to Benson for his clever floor and basket work; to Eddie Manthey who is improving each game, and to MT. The Rock of Ages"
 The Blue and White banner car riers, in their games in Fairbanks next week, will give a good account of themselves, never fear.

 HOPE THAT BABY IS ALIVE

HOPEWELL, N. J., Mar. 24.-The Lindbergh baby Kidnapping case continues to be just as much a mystery as it was on the night the baby was taken from the nursery in the Lindbergh home despite the efforts of police, gangsters, report CTS and the LindberghS themselves, to have the child returned or to find out as to it's whereabouts.
 Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh are still clinging to the faint hope that their child is still alive and they hope for it's return when the inves- tigating quiets down. The police Wednesday made several raids on places which were suspected to be the hideout of the abductors with the child but all these surprise en- frances proved to be of no avail.

 When the police found him, they arrested him, charging him with breaking the store glass and also for disorderly conduct. He can un- derstand the glass breaking part but not the disorderly charge be- cause he was asleep almost from the time he blew into the store

FOREIGN ATHLETES MAY N0T BE FORGED ID
 F0REC0 THEIR WINES

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 24-It is intimated that the bar against French athletes h vim g their wines during the while they are in competition in the Olympic Games here will be lifted despite the statement made by Amos W. w. Woodcock, director of prohibition. Woodcock said he was of the opin- ion that the French, as we'll as other foreign athletes, would have to forego their alcoholic drinks.
 It has been suggested that the members of the French delegation and other foreign athletes be given freedom of port or to admit them as members of the crew of foreign vessel. Under these conditions, the athletes would be allowed their all coholic beverages.
 It has also been suggested that the French Ambassador might be present at the games and the ath- letes could get their supply from him.
 At any rate, it appears that they are going to get their daily menu the same as they receive at home.

CHILD'S KIDNAPPING
 MAY RESULT MARRIAGE

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 24. - Miss Dureen Mordean, who was arrested here charged with the Kidnapping of three-year-old Evelyn Stone from a boarding school, has been freed because William Stone, the father, has refused to press abduc- tion charges.
 Miss Mordean formerly was the child'S nurse and when Mrs. Stone died the child was placed in a boarding school. It was said that Miss Mordean kidnapped the child so that she could again take care of it.
 Stone, however, revealed another angle as to why he freed Miss Nor dean. He said that romance might follow if he exonerated Miss Nor dean from all blame in the kid mapping. He revealed plans that they might be married later.

 The first session for the discus sion of peace terms was brief and the attending delegates were very gloomy as they filed out of the of flee of the British Consulate where the meeting was held. It is as yet too early to tell what will be forth coming in the way of peace ar engagements.
 It is said the Japanese are nego- tiating and trying to arrange for the withdrawal of Japanese troops into the International Settlement and the establishment of a neutral zone.
 The many languages involved in the peace discussion slows up the proceedings to a great extent as four-way interpretation is nec- essary-Chinese, Japanese, English and French.

DECISIVE STAND Is
 TAKEN BY BRITAIN
 ACTION IRISH STATE
VALERA'S MOVE AMOUNTS IO SAME AS DECLARATION
 OF WAR

LONDON, Mar. 24-Great Britain Wednesday took decisive stand against President Eamonn de Va lera of the Irish Free State for his intention of renouncing land an nuities to Great Britain and also the oath of allegiance to the King.
 In the House of Commons, Labor members said the action on the part of the head of the Irish Free State was the same as a declara- tion of war. The oath of allegiance and the land annuities were a part of a bargain subscribed to by both the Irish Free State and Great Brit ain and it would be impossible for one to attempt to repudiate this without the consent of the other.
 British officials were of the opinion that had Valera consulted with British authorities that some amicable understanding might have been reached but under the present circumstances the only thing Great Britain can do, in the event the Free State continues it's breaking off" activities, will be to retaliate, if not in force, through economic means. Retaliation could very cas- fly be effected against the Irish through the placing of a heavy tariff on Irish goods. Great Brit ain is at present the principle mar ket for Irish goods

CHINESE GENERAL |s
 EXECUTED F0R MISTAKE

HAWKING, China, Mar. 24.-Gen- eral Woo Kin, who did much to further the cause of China in the last struggle with Japan, has been court and executed, ac- cording to reports.
 Woo Kin, who led an independent brigade of Chinese, entered the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai by mistake. He was carrying import ant papers at the time and the Japanese lost no time in securing these. After the Japanese had the papers, they turned him loose and Woo Kin immediately went back to his own forces.
 The Chinese then arrested him on a charge of informing the enemy and he was court-martialed, found guilty and executed. Woo Kin had studied in Princeton, Columbia and New York and also graduated from a United States military school in 1915.
