BERLIN, Aug. 4.-Here at one
of the greatest sports spectacles
the world ever has seen, with the
total paid attendance heading
for the 100000 mark, I ex-
pected to see something special
in the way of styles, as we do
at the fashionable race courses
and football stadiums.
Maybe the rainy weather is at
the bottom of it, but 1 have
been disappointed in the hap
hazard dresses worn by the
women. There were some chic
fur-trimmed suits to be wit
messed as a midsummer oddity,
but outside of that, the scene
from a fashion viewpoint is as
dull as the sports performances
are thrilling.
Incidentally, today I'm celebrat.
ing. Art Cart Jarrett, radio
crooner and husband of Mrs. Jar
rett) got into town overnight and
he still loves me, not that ! ever
thought otherwise.
My husband is a great guy. I
haven't seen anybody in or out of
uniform who can measure up
against him for looks. I'm
thrilled to death and feel like a
battle has been won, with me
hanging on to Art, my husband
and best pal.
They're mobbing him for his
autograph. He almost got killed
in the rush when he arrived at
the stadium. The crowds some
how got wind of his identity and
the fun began. At the gate the
guards forgot to ask for his
tickets. He didn't have any any
way, so he seems to have the dis
tinction of being the only Ameri-
can to succeed so far in gatecraSh.
ing the Olympics.
Art is dodging all sorts Of pro-
moterS and agents but he isn't
lodging any of the Olympic
gentlemen who sat in judgment
on me. He says he's going to call
them off when he meets them
face to face and when it happens
I want to be around to tell you all
about it.
There is a long, lean gal from
dear old Fulton, Mo-, due today
to be the first girl to make Old
Glory shoot up to the top of the
Olympic flagpole by blazing the
way to victory in the 100-meter
dash.
She loped easily down the track
in the preliminary heats yards
ahead Of the other laSSieS, in spite
Of the fact that a sore leg was
still troubling her.
Helen Stephens is surely strongly
built, but she is feminine through
and through, and a great kid.
Most people don't know that
Helen is Just out of the hospital
and still bothered by a pulled ten
don, but that didn't stop her from
running them ragged. She just
bites into the wind and off she
goes. OF Missouri is sure show
ing 'em.
Polo is now going full blast on
the most beautiful field I have
ever seen. I almost feel sad when
the ponies kick up the turf, but
always a band of women rugged
out in nun-like flowing head
dresses step right on and smooth
everything out.

Our dear old friends, the re-
publicans, it seems, have made an
admittance which they may have
difficulty justifying, in view Of
some Of their rspid declarations
On how the country is going to the
dogs. They have broken down, f.
nally, to point out that credit for
pulling the country out Of the de-
preston should not 60 to the New
Deal and Franklin D. Roosevelt,
but TO the previous administration
Of the COP.
In the first place, they are
admitting that conditions have i'm
proved sufficiently to indicate that
recovery is underway. Secondly,
they are now trying to deprecata
the efforts Of the president and
his administration in rebuilding
the ceuntry from the depths into
which the COP has plunged it.

Vote to Buy Twin Lakes
Resort for $2l 900,
However

The proposal to buy the West
fork sawmill was rejected Thurs
day by vote of TIA to eight, in
one Of the largest tribal councils
to be held here The council hall
at the agency as brilliant spec
tacle with the women's beautiful
shawls and bright-colored hand
kerchiefs, and the more sombe1
garb Of the men.
Alec Arcasa presided over the
council and Frank George was
secretary. Superintendent Harvey
K. Meyer of the agency, C. r. Pa
trie and Patrick Gray Of the for
estry office in Spokane, were
among the officials present, who
explained the proposal and an
swered questions which were ask
ed by the Indiansg present. Harry
Owhi and joe MonahaY were in
erpreters. HarrM Nswhi, Henry
Covington, William Pooler and
Henry Wilson were tellers who
counted the votes. Among the
members of the council who spoke
from the floor We're Jim James
and Mr.. Moore of Keller; Willie
Andrews and Cleveland, and Pohn
WaEato and Louis Wapato. All of
these Indians argued against the
purchase.
The proposal was to buy the old
Hedlund lumber mill at Westfork
for $4,000, and to borrow $780,
600 from the government to make
the purchase and the balance to
operate and buy timber. A mort
gage was to be given on the mill
property and also On a portion Of
the timber, but one catch seemed
to be that there was no specific
portion Of timber mentioned and
the Indians feared they might lose
all of their vast amount Of timber
which amounts to several million
dollars. The purchase price Of the
timber was to be 50 instead of the
SO which they get on the open
market.
The vote on the proposition was
BY ballot. y ssss
The second matter taken up at
the council was a proposition to
purchase the resort properties at
Twin Lakes at q price of $21 900,
payment to BE made from tribal
funds. ri .t .s.5ss: =
These properties Y consist. f
three different layouts; with boats,
lighthouses, houses and Furniture
for the houses. There is roughly
about 80 acres Of land which Is
the only land not owned by In
dians on the two lakes. Purchase
of this property would give The
Indians absolute control of the
lakes. The lakes are abundant1y
stocked with fish and also have a
great sufficiency Of. fish food.
A standing vote was taken en-
this proposal and it carried unani-
n1ously. The Inchelium council vo-
ted earlier in the week, 1875 to Sc
against the sawlnill purchase and
also voted in favor Of NE West
fork resort purchase.

lirday afternoon at the Qu,ak sub
agency and voted on tie resort

Water Situation

The San Diego city council voted
Wednesday to employ a special en-
gineering board to determine the
most economical method of bring
inc Colorado river water to the
coast city.
The board members are, Louis
c. Hill, consulting hydraulic en-
gineer; Lester S. Ready, consulting
engineer: and John P. BuWalda,
consulting geoligist.
The three members of the board
have been employed by the city on
various projects in the past and
are experts in their fields of work.
The San Diego council recently
Indicated that it will be willing
to expend $4,000 to obtain author
itative recommendation principally
on the cost of water delivered by
way of the Az American canal and
tunnels through the mountains.
Many civic groups in San Diego
have asked that action be taken
to receive figures on the cost to
bring water to the city to make 1t

engineers working on the most
expensive structures of the ALL
American canal viii compose the
better road" forces. Their equip
ment will represent that of a
mechanical, military advance.
The entire effort, spectacular in
every way, is the outgroWth of
the need for an al-Weather, smooth
road from highway 80 to Laguna
dam where millions of dollars are
being spent in the upper struc-
tuers of the Imperial dam and
the canal.
The united drive was arranged
by. representatives of Yuma bust
ness men, contracting engineers,
the u. S. Bureau of Reclamation,
and the Imperial county board of
supervisors. Because the county
has insufficient funds to properly
repair the Bard road, it was ar
ranged that the Yuma merchants
subscribe $1,000 with which to pay
workmen, the engineering COM
panieS will donate equipment to-
falling more than 100000 in value,
the Reclamation department will
provide surveyors and additional
equipment and the county will
also provide some equipment as
we'll as maintain the Lew road
sector.
Activity at Sunrise
At least thirty-tWo dump. trucks,
a steam shovel, three bull-dozers,
several water tank-WagonS, and
several road maintainers vii! roar
into activity at sunrise Saturday.
The equipment will be provided
by these firms:
The George Pollack company, &
trucks, l bull-dozer, steam shovel;
The George w Condor company
trucks and d road maintainer,
the Morrison -Utah-WinSton group
of companies, trucks and one
bull dozer; the Lewis Construction
company, six trucks; Frazier-Da-
WIS company, trucks, l water
tank-Wagon and 1bull-dozer.
The county will provide a road
maintainer and a water wagon and
the bureau of reclamation, in ad-
dition to the survey crew, will also
send three trucks and possibly
other equipment.
An effort will be made to cover
the road for a distance of between
five and eight miles, with 5000
yards of specially blasted crushed
rock and gravel. In cutting
through mountain along the can
al route, the Pollack company To-
Gated a deposit of especially fine
