GIRL FIGHTS
OFFATTACKER
White, with Three Negroes,
Makes Escape After At
tempt Fails

What is believed to have been an
attempted abduction, occurred here
the first of the week, when white
man, accompanied by three negroes
attacked Miss Winifred Rhodes,
neice of Reverend and Mrs. Atten-
borough.
Last week, while the Attenbor-
oughs were away from home, the
white man called, stating to Miss
Rhodes, that he wanted to see the
minister about putting on show
under the auspices Of the church.
Told that MIR. Attenborough was
absent, he said he would call later.
Later, when MIR. and Mrs. Atten-
borough were again away, the man
called at the parsonage. The three
negro men were seen waiting in
the car outside. After speaking
again to Miss Rhodes, the man
made a grab for her as she was
passing him to get to the telephone.
She fought him off, after which he
dashed from the house and the car
sped away before the license num-
bers or other Identification could
be secured.
Later reports were that police
were looking for a white man &C
companying three negroes on a
white slave charge.
Miss Rhodes was not injured in
the encounter, but she is confident
that the man viii carry marks fol-
some time. No trace of the men has
been found.

MUCH DONEON
RIVER WORKS,
WESTTELLSC.C.
Boat Service to Start First
of Year; River Opened to
Ocean Boats First of Next.
June s.~..ae.. ss4s s +

DEVELOPMENT work on the Col
umbia river is far from completed,
H. G.. West, executive vice presi-
dent of the Inland Empire Water
ways association told members Of
the local chamber of commerce this
noon. Much work remains to be
done, he said, but until sufficient
amount of traffic can be developed
and the need for further work
proven to the board of army engi-
neers, the expenditure of huge sums
for further dams will of necessity be
delayed.
BY the first of June of next year
the Bonneville locks will be COM
pleted, West told the chamber
members, and ocean going boats
can travel as far up the Columbia
at The Dalles, where docking ia
cilities are rapidly being completed.
This means direct saving Of 20
spercent in freight charges on the
oceanic shipment, he said, and
meant that the Columbia seaport
had been moved a hundred miles
inland.
Mr.. West said that the new type
boat for the up-river work was now
under construction and would be
put into operation shortly after the
first of the year. AS rapidly as the
traffic conditions warranted, adj
ditional boats would be put on the
river by the new company which al
ready had approximately half a
million dollars invested in the new
enterprise.
The deep channel to The Dalles
would permit the ocean steamers to
navigate to that point. From there
the new tunnel-type boat now be-
ing constructed, would handle ship
ments for the upper reaches of the
river as far as Umatilla.
Satisfactory schedules to the
confluence of the Snake river would
not be feasible, Mr.. West said the
army engineers agreed, until the
Umatilla dam was constructed. He
said the engineers would approve
the expenditures for this purpose as
soon as use and demand for the
service could be proven and from
this standpoint it was necessary for
the inland districts to still MAIN
tain active contacts with the sit
uation.
Mr.. West pointed out the accom-
plishments of the organization in
the past three years and urged at
tendance at the third annual meet
ing of the association on Oct. %,
when several Of the local members
have already indicated their at
tendance.

An Expensive Campaign

Chicago, Ill.-Americans have be-
come accustomed to big campaign
funds since Abraham Lincoln at
tanned the Presidency on an ex-
penditure of 500. Most costly cam
paign was that of Harding, at S.
319, 729. This year Chairman Farley
gathered $2,094,1 100 for the Demo-
cratic campaign. Republicans esti-
mated it would need $3.50, 900 to
unSeat President Roosevelt. OF this
they raised only $1,000, 900, and Ma
tional Headquarters say they will
need 81 100000 a week from now
until election" The Democrats want
81 100000 for a final drive" Big
corporations are fighting shy Of
contributions to either party, and
campaign managers fear a curtail-
ment of radio time and other ex-
pensive OUTLAWS.

COAST STRIKE
RACKETEERING
SAYS SPEAKER
Political Analyst Warns of
Danger to Entire State;
I: Movement Designed to Al
ter American Economy

Labor troubles on the coast are
not caused by the unions nor by the
communists, as commonly reported,
G. E. Arney told fair sized crowd
at the Highlands club house this
evening. All of the difficulties are
the result of racketeering-a law
less element working under the
guise of the unions, directed by one
Dave Beck, the speaker said. The
move isnot strictly local one,
either, Mr.. Arney said, as the plans
include laying tribute in all parts
of the state and effect, directly or
indirectly every citizen in the state.
Mr.. Arney is radio commentator
and political analyst Of the Indus
trial Council of washington and the
Seattle Forum Of Public Opinion
and has a first hand fund of in
formation.
Arney read from the law to show
that the disorders in Seattle can be
stopped by action of the govern
or, even though no request for state
intervention comes from local au-
thoritieS.
Our salvation in Seattle depends
upon restoration of law and order"
Arney said. "You people of the state
can come to our aid in bringing this
about" he said.
Arney listed the several strikes
which have been called in Seattle,
ostensibly in the name of union la
Dor, but really by labor racketeers
who have set up q new taxing body
and who are governed only by their
own greed and selfishness.
Seattle is now run by a self
appointed dictator" Arney said.
Influences are now at work to
force the closed shop policy on every
industry in the state and not only
that but determine who can join
a union. The closed shop will mean
that the employer will hire no one
who is not a member of the spec
flied union and will hire whoever
is chosen for the job by the union
itself. We are dealing with a move
ment designed to alter the entire
conception of American economy,
Arney stated.
