Railroad Construction

Railroads were first built across
the country instead Of north and
south, because water transportation
on the large rivers, such as the
Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, etc., ran
In north-south direction, and the
building of cross-country Transports
ton routes to connect with the COM
mercial centers along the rivers was
a natural outcome. AS emigration
pushed farther westward these lines
were extended to meet the demands
Of progress.

Earthquake Staged
For Tracy Picture

There is full-fledged earthquake
in advice to the Lovelorn," Lee
Tracy's current starring vehicle for
Joseph M. Schenck and Daryl Fan
uck's Goth Century Pictures, showing
today and tomorrow at the Para
mount theatre.
Its rhythm and duration were cop
led from seismographic records OF the
quake that hit Southern California
March 10 last, and were accurately re-
produced in the film by w. r. Davi-
son, expert in technical effects.
Not only does Dawson faithfully
reproduce the quake motion, but, in
Turkish bath scene, requiring the
most difficult technical effects, he
causes steam pipes to seem to burst
without actually bursting; walls to
crack which do not really crack; and
plaster to fall which weighs next to
nothing.
The Turkish bath set occupied q
movable platform a by IS feet, weigh
ed 20 tons, and was set on rollers and
shaken by lever controlled springs.
Its seven different rooms were shaken
separately for various camera shots,
as the camera had to rest on solid
flooring In one room in order to pho
tograph one or more OF the other
rooms as they swayed and shook.

REFINANCING
OF CID NOW is
UP TO PEOPLE
Only Favorable Vote Remains
to Cut District Indebtedness
to Figure Land Can Sup
port; Election Soon

The refinancfng plans for the
Columbia Irrigation district are
now virtually up to the people OF
the district.
Word was received today that
the resolution calling for the work
had been approved by the authori-
ties at Washington, D. c. and re-
mains only the sanction of the peo-
pie of the district to have the deed
completed. The resolution will be
sanctioned this evening by the
local board and the election COM
pleting the deal will be called some
time next month.
The refinancing, simply, is this.
The district now has a bonded in
debtedness of $685., 900 in bonds
with delinquent coupon indebted
ness of $135,000. Under the agree
ment with the bondholders, they
will accept an immediate payment
of 1892, 500 in complete liquidation
of the debt.
The deal is to be submitted to
the property owners for their sane
tion by vote.
Under the new deal, 35 years
will be granted to repay the loan.
At the rate of $3.50 per acre, this
debt will liquidate itself. The
present bonded indebtedness re-
quires an annual assessment of
$3.50 per acre. In other words the
new deal will cut the annual per
acre assessment more than half, if
the property owners approve the
refinancing plans.
Under the present arrangements
the debt carries an interest rate Of
six per cent per annual. The new
loan will carry four per cent. Some
$500 acres are included in the dis
trict.

Hansen refuses to accept the verdict as final and has challenged the winner for an- other go. Both boys have been re- matched for next Friday night.
 Howie Gagain won by technical kayo over Signori in the semi-final. Signori showed plenty of heart, taking much punishment from his heavier opponent before the bout was stopped. "Battler" Montam- bault scored a technical kayo over Johnny Martin, while draws were given Phil Plourde and Petke Young" Niven and Joe Ciaccio Niven shows much promise.

Proper Summer Care
 :, Stops Baby Diseases
Thousands of Needless Infant Deaths Occur Each
 Year. Child Hygiene Director Says

illness. To prevent illness, how ever, adherence to a few simple points will go long way. Em- phasis should be placed on three important points--the diet, air and sunshine and clothing.
 Small babies should be fed on mothers milk If possible. If not. clean cows milk. boiled from one to two minutes and diluted accord ing to the doctors formula should be substituted. It isn't wise to feed even little, babies oftener than once in three hours, but cool. not cold water should be given often. When the baby is two or three months old, two tablespoons of orange juice and one-half teaspoon of cod liver oil should be given him daily. Tomato juice may be used in lieu of orange juice.
 When the baby gets beyond the "just milk" stage, he needs three kinds of food to protect him against diseases such as rickets and scurvy, to build and regulate his body, and to give him heat and energy. These foods include milk, green vegetables, fruit. eggs, ce- reals. kidney or liver once in a while. cream. bread. butter, bacon and a little sugar honey or syrup Candy may be used for dessert, but never between meals.
 A child can never have too much fresh air. but sunshine can be overdone. He should be outdoors in the early morning. and in the latter part of the afternoon, never in the midday sun. Dr Ingraham advised. He should obtain a coat of tan, but not allowed to become sun burned. A shade hat will help If the sun is strong.
 More babies are killed by too much clothing than too little. When It's hot he should wear as little clothing as possible. He should have a daily bath with frequent sponging when 1t is very hot. He should be guarded from flies. Plenty of sleep is essential and, if the baby is healthy. he will want to sleep.
 Don't wait for something to happen. Prevent it." Dr Ingra- ham urged.

 Seeks Denomination
Issues Public Statement Expressing Desire to Return
 to State Legislature

Attorney Joseph A. Hackett is seeking renomination for state seri- ator and today in a brief. formal announcement explains why he hopes that his party will return him to the state legislature. A few days ago it became known that group of ex-service men were working in the interest of Senator Hackett's candidacy and were prepared to launch Q cam paign to insure his success.
 Attorney Hackett's statement to- day was as follows:
 Many progressive measures were introduced in the last session of the General Assembly, and most of them failed of passage in the house of representatives.
 "I have enjoyed serving as state senator, and would appreciate the opportunity to continue in that ser- vice for the purpose of concluding progressive democratic legis- lation such as old age pensions, un- mployment insurance, etc. If my party comes to the con- clusiop that I am the person tp make the contest, I am willing to assume the responsibility of the of- | flee, and to that extent I may be considered a candidate. | T will be grateful and hope that may continue to enjoy the confi- dence of the democratic party. l JOSEPH A. HACKETT
