BASEBALL GAMES

CATION NOT COMING
HERE AS PLANNED
(By JOVE)

The baseball games that were
scheduled for Sunday and Mon
day at the Navy Field between
the Fort Lauderdale colored base
ball aggregation and the Coco
SUITS, local club, have been called
off. it was learned today.
This was brought about, it is
said. due to the fact that the
locals could not meet the de-
mands of the proposed visitors in
making the trip.
Everything was all set for the
two baseball battles, with consid-
cradle interest manifested in the
proposed games, and this an
nouncement will no doubt be quite
disappointing to the large number
of. fans who were contemplating
attending.

ENCOURAGING NEWS

The above article printed in the
Spokane Chronicle of May 10 is
not only encouraging news, but
has far-reaching effect. The Pa
cif1c Northwest, especially the
Coast cities of Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland are very much inter-
ested in the reclamation end of
the Grand Coulee developm emit
which means the irrigation of
100000 acres of land and the
building of an empire much great
er in scope than what the North
west experienced under the great
Empire Builder of the past three
decades, James j. Hill. Although
the public is familiar with the ex-
tensive surveys being conducted
by the Government engineers in
the basin, they have been in the
dark as to whether the practical
plan of concurrent development of
the basin with the construction
of the high dam was assured.
The following paragraph in the
article printed above gives an en-
couraging outlook:
"The plant is to pump water in
a stream the size of the Spokane
River into the proposed Grand
Coulee Reservoir. The plant itself
Will not be built under the MWAK

WILL HEW BASE
OUT OF GRANITE
FOR pump PLANT

COULEE DAM, MAY IT,
Especial. Drilling and blasting
of granite rock along the west
wall, upstream from the Grand
Coulee dam site, for the founda-
ton of the pumping station, will
be under way within month,
Frank A. Banks, construction en-
gineer, said today.
To provide a base for the giant
pumping plant, 100000 cubic
yards of rock will be dynamited
from the steep granite wall which
forms the west end of the dam.
The plant is to pump water in a
stream, the size of the Spokane
river, into the proposed Grand
coulee reservoir. The plant itself
will not be built under the MWAK
contract.
Will Reinforce Slide.
Granite blasted from the preci-
pice will bolster the slide mass.
Plans for this work were an
nounced for the first time by
Banks today.
A rock fill, rs feet high and 80
feet wide, consisting of about
100000 cubic yards of rock, will
be dumped on an original rock fill
at the toe of the slide. After the
fill is in place, gravel will be
dumped on the slope below the
highway, the rock fill serving as
the bottom of the gravel pile.
Banks explained that the gravel
would provide self-draining face
and help prevent surface slippage
and disintegration.

a prospective groom. He would make
some arrangement. >. The following
day he made good his promise.
At first Sam had moments heSi-
tation about placing the dark-skinned
young man who softly entered his
Office in midafternoon and waited re-
spectfully to be noticed. Maybe this
was because Jaime had taken pains to
dress in his very best clothing, and
was scrubbed and polished to the last
degree.
LIE LISTENED while the erstwhile
porter presented his case before
guess we can meet you halfway. Let's
see, you've been here almost year
and a half. and we've had no bad re-
ports about you.
you've been working about IL hours
a day and doing good job. AS you
say, you are only getting SIG week
for your services. And you want two
afternoons a week of from now on?
Well, why not?"
Jaime merely nodded and backed
out of the Office. Sam stared thought
fully after him for a moment, and
then dismissed him from considera-
ton. Just so he wasn't trying to
wangle radio job, like the rest OF
them. E.
Thereafter. on every Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon when the studio
clock showed IL o'clock. the porter
would finish whatever he happened
to be doing at the moment, put his
implements carefully away, and
shortly afterward emerge from the
locker room Immediately scrubbed
and combed and attired in his neatly
pressed Sunday clothing. If any OF
the staff ever troubled to ask him
about this unusual behavior. Jaime
only smiled.
A T O'CLOCK he would be back,
change into his porter's uniform,
and commence his work from where
he had left off at noon. Eventually,
Sam began to wonder what his porter
was finding to do on those two after
moons every week, but Jaime refused
pointblank to tell him. So Sam fig
ured that there was woman involved
somewhere, and let it go at that.
OF course, it was purely by accident
that the mystery was finally solved.
One Tuesday afternoon Sam was
called, so he tells it, to the office of
another radio station for a confer

he found his own porter hard at work!
