Joe Waterman Ducks
Woods-Lee Fight Match

Joe Waterman, Portland fight
promoter and sometimes sport
writer, for several weeks mas
been sending out news reports
that he was unable to coax Nate
Druxman, Seattle promoter, in
an agreement for a match be-
tween All Wing Lee, Chinese
lightweight, and Henry Woods,
Yakima's sensational colored box
er. Waterman. who manages
Lee, has been accusing Druxman
who manages Woods, of being
afraid to let his colored phenom
fight his Chinese ace. Druxman
all along has commended that the
only hitch in making the match
was Watermans refusal for the
fight to be in Seattle. Doubling
Waterman's desire to have Lee
meet Woods, Druxman Tuesday
wired Waterman an offer of ST.,
600 for a Lee-Woods fight in
Seattle October 16 or %. In an
hour Druxman received a reply
from Waterman refusing the Of
fer. 1t looks as though Drux-
man will have to pass up Lee
as an opponent for Woods and
he will have to angle for Billy
Townsend or send down South
for an opponent for Woods.

THREE DEATHS IN
SOUTH REPORTED

ATLANTA. Ga, June 9. (UP)
The years most extreme neat
wave continued virtually unabat-
ed in the South yesterday.
Three deaths from heat pros
trations in Dixie had been re-
ported yesterday-two in Arkan-
sas and one in Georgia.
High temperatures yesterday
ranged from 100 at Chattanooga
to "a at Miami. 1t was few de-
grees hotter in some southern
cities than Wednesday and slight
ly cooler in others.
Atlanta weather bureau Off
Gals held out no hope of relief
from the extreme heat this week.
w. E. Tinsley was found un-
conscious in a vacant lot in At

hours later in a hospital. Physi-

bv the heat. Other southern heat
victims were Henry C. Goschend

OF INTEREST TO W0kAEN
COVE DAM SCHEME
TO AVOID FLOODING

for forests.
2. Power. These dams would
be of the high-head type, and SO
would afford the maximum power
for the run-off. The precipitation
over the watersheds is among the
highest in America. In case it
should not be deemed advisable
to develop power from these dams
now. they would be available
"whcn, as, and if needed"
3. Fish. The finest rainbow
and speckled troubt fishing terri
tory in America.
4. Logging. In the operation
in the future of the national for
ests contiguous to these dam sites
and of other timber lands, the
use of the lakes for transporta-
ton of timber would be highly
valuable.
5. Agriculture and horticul-
ture. There is no other area in
the whole Tennessee valley where
such broad and rich lands are i'm
mediately contiguous to and de-
pendent upon such tributary
mountain streams admitting of
treatment as outlined. Many
parts of the general Tennessee
watershed in its upper reaches
lack much bottom land; the
mountains or hills come right
down to the rivers. This area
III Henderson and Pennsylvania
counties has been famous for
generations for its amazing fer
tility and productivity; and only
the reckless denudation of the
forests has caused the floods
which have impaired the agricul-
ture of the area in question, al
though it is still the richest in
the whole Tennessee Valley.
Yields of a hundred bushels of
corn per acre are fairly common
on it now, and the entire thirty
thousand acres could produce that
yield under the plan in question.
Other products-especlally pota-
toes, all sorts of truck, and rye,
hay, small fruits and berries,-
grow splendidly, and would con-
tinue to be produced indefinitely
under such a plan as that under
discussion. With the cove-lakes
suggested, both flood control and
irrigation could be afforded; while
the lowering of the water-table in
the main river would be easily
facilitated, in case of need. 1t has
been found that the dry years are
the best on these bottom lands.
6. Forestry. These lakes would
constitute a fire barrier of i'm
mense value. The high heads
would facilitate mechanical fire
fighting with water. The lakes
could be used for transportation
of the forestry personnel and
equipment. The permanency of
the water supply would conserve
the marginal vegetation and the
evaporation would supply mois-
ture for the adjacent forests in

REASONS AGAINST
OTHER PLANS

The principal other plan, and
one not included in the press ac-
counts of the plans Of the govern
ment engineers, which the writer
does not favor, is that Of convert
ing the whole French Broad val
ley above Hendersonville into a
vast lake. entirely eliminating the
agricultural lands in question, and
affording only a low-head nower,
with less flood control, and other
obvious relative disadvantages,
The writer was glad to see that
the government engineers did not
include this lake in their plans,
and hopes that they have seen its
