Herbert Hoover

TTERBERT HOOVER is causing the Republicans
IL both of them-a lot of worry these days. The
gentleman is becoming increasingly active but what
the Republicans can't figure out is whether he simply
wants to get the party up and going whether he
wants the Presidential nomination in 1910.
Anyway, he is a regular Ham Fish in reminding the
Republicans of their sins and in his insistence that
they must clean house. Frankly,
~ ''' '"' ~ we have never thought this advice
C'eo" mouse to the Republicans to clean house
was very practical They aren't in a position to be
dropping anybody. Even the New Dealers aren't
elusive and they are in power.
Be that as it may Herbert in recent article in At
lantic Monthly denounced the Republicans for taking
money from the du Points and other big industraliss
and said the party simply had to go liberal.
THIS HAS GIVEN A CHUCKLE
to many an editor. The idea of Herbert champion
ing liberalism they say is as funny it be. The
cartoonsts have been having whale of good time.
We think he is writing and talking from the heart
and with feeling intensified by his bitter experience.
We can remember when the Democrats wanted to
run him back in 1920 and when the Old Guard influ
ence of his party and the East
ern ndustralists vanly sought
"'''e HO"Oe to prevent his nomination in 1928
because of his ''lberal views He had embraced the
Republican party, but not Repubcanism, because it
seemed the only way to the White House. No
entered office bubbling with ideas for the
advancement of mankind.
One of the first things he did to break up the
Department of Justice practice of showing Big Bust
how to get around the antitrust laws. Then his
political ineptitude-

HORSE MARINES

San Francisco, U,ROfficerS OF
the Marine corps insist that old
saw about Captain Jinks of the
Horse Marines" is not such an
imaginary joke as many people
might think, especially as regards
the Horse Marines" The latter
they declare, are and have been
very much of a reality in the his
tory of the corps.
At present, it is said. there is a
troop of American Horse Ma
rines" at Peiping, China which
for the past 25 years have been
mounting their saddles every day,
patroling outlying districts OF the
city and reporting to the Amerl-
can embassy there.
The corps was organized in 1912
during the revolutionary period
and since then repeatedly has
demonstrated its valor and use

Even the advent of the motor
age has not proved the marines
would be more useful in cars tnah
on horseback.
However. Peiping's marine
mounties" are declared to be far
from unusual in the history OF the
CORPS. Mounted marines have
served in Cuba, Haiti, San Do
mingo and Mexico. During their
comparatively recent occupation
of Nicaragua, the marines were
Obliged to use mounts to cover
vast stretches of territory.
Mounted marines are also sta
toned at Hawthorne, New, where
naval ammunition depot covers
more than 200 square miles.
American mounted marines IN
1903 made a long trip to pay an
official visit to Kirg Menelik OF
Ethiopia.

NORTH DAKOTA
REPORTS V A S T
HORDE OF DUCKS

Forham, N. D.. Aug. l.-U'R)-
Ducks arc nesting in the south
eastern section of North Dakota
in the greatest numbers in 20
years. Sargent and Richland coun-
ty sportsmen report.
Conservation experts and the
sportsmen forecast revival OF a
nearly lost sport-duck hunting
this fall.
George Scoville of Forman,
chairman of the Sargent county
planning board and IAN ardent
sportsman, said he has observed
upward of 40 species of ducks in
the revived Tewaukon lake string
area this year.
Il have never seen so many
since 1916" he said.
Explanation offered is that the
birds in their northern flight this
spring came through eastern
North Dakota rather than farther
West-as is their custom, because
of the quantity of water in the
Red River area and the area i'm
mediately adjoining.
In South Dakota a duck crop of
approximately 100000 will be
produced this year, according to
o. H. Johnson, director of the
state game and fish department.
Johnson based his prediction on
figures collected from deputy game
wardens who have made SYSTEM
attic count Of male ducks on the
sloughs, marshes, lakes a d
streams in their respective terri
tories. Each male is considered as
representing a nesting female.

BLACK HILL STORY TOLD
OF GOLDEN BULLETS USE

st. Paul, tU.P) - Back in the
boom days of the gold rush, at
least one of the lucky prospectorS
was so rich with gold that he
used the precious metal to make
bullets when he ran short of lead.
This is the story of Carl Worm,
bootmaker who roamed the Black
Hills of the Dakotas when the
gold rush was at its height.
Worm says he owns the gun
used by the prospector-known to
the Indians as Doc Saumico." ;"
The gun was charged with pow
der before the lead slug was IN
serted. 1t still is servicable.

Monday will be an exciting day

will be Kennewick's first experience
in playing under lights. And even
more, many Kennewick people will
see their first polo game.
All this has been arranged as q

its share Of the proceeds to the

Man
Says Umatilla
Dam is Coming

The Umatilla Dam will be the
next project in the development Of
the Columbia River, according to q
report recently issued by F. H. Kipp,
formerly head of the Columbia De-
velopment Association.
Mr.. Kipp has for long time been
an ardent booster for the Umatilla
dam and has been employed by the
Portland chamber Of commerce as
propaganda for the river develop
ment work. He bases his predic-
tions upon information which he
has received recently and he is pos
tive that this work will be under
taken In the comparatively near flu
ture.
In his report, he points out that
the fullest use Of the river facili-
ties cannot be received until the
river has been made passable for
boats Of q larger tonnage than Is
possible under present conditions.
The report also notes the appropria-
lions for the characterization to
points above The Dalles and indi-
Gates that the Umatilla Dam Is the
only feasible method Of overcom-
ing the Umatilla and Homily rapids.
The construction Of the dam
would give slack water transporta-
ton from the dam to the mouth Of
the Snake on the upper reaches Of
the river.
