New York, Aug. 31-(AP)-Tony-
pandv Tommy Farr, the Welshman,
who wasn't supposed to have chance
took everything but the decision last
night from Joe Louis in heavyweight
championship fight that upset expecta-
tions by going the full distance of 10
rounds.
Louis had no real difficulty in pill
ing up a margin on points that gave
him the unanimous decision of Refe-
rec Arthur Donovan and two judges
but the Brown Bomber's first defense
of the crown he won just two months
ago from Irish Jimmy Braddock found
him up against much tougher opposi-
ton than he had anticipated.
Farr not only stunned the experts,
who had unanimously picked him to
become a quick knockout victim, but
thrilled a comparatively small crowd,
estimated at no more than 10000 in
paid attendance, by the game and de-
termined fashion in which he repeat
eddy carried the fight to the hard
hitting champion.
Troublesome, Durable
Louis finding Farr troublesome as
we'll as durable throughout the Is
rounds, failed to score even single
knockdown and was actually in re-
treat as the final bell found the bland
challenger charging the champion and
swinging hard with both fists.
Louis fired his biggest punching
guns without being able to do any
thing more than stop the challenger's
rushes, jar him occasionally, and in
flict a series of nasty gashes about
Tommy's eyes and nose.
The challenger suffered a cash I'M
der his right eye as early as the third
round. BY the fifth, blood was stream
ing from cuts under both optics. Near
the close, one of Joe'a short left hooks
started a stream of crimson from
Fairs nose but these appeared only
minor mishaps in the fighting life of
the 23-year-old Welshman, who has
never been flattened in his entire ca
reer.
Louis came closest to scoring a
knockdown in the seventh round. Here
the champion, who had spent most of
the first rounds spearing Tommy with
left hands, really got down to bust
ness. He blasted Fairs head with
both hands. Tommy gave ground,
while the blood dripped from his face

Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1937-01-21

"All congress intended to do was
to prevent the government from enter
ing into any new contract for continu-
ance of the work until further appro-
priation had been made,'' the delega-
ton said.
"E'ailure to include in the budget,
OF in supplemental budget, the Sl5'
100000 needed means that the sup
porters of Grand Coulee will be placed
under a serious and possibly insur-
mountable handicap in trying to am
end the appropriation bill to obtain
an appropriation of this amount which
is absolutely vital to continuance OF
the work on high dam.
"The dam will eventually pay for
ITSELF if completed, but is worse than
dead loss incompleted, since interest
on the money borrowed to build it Will
pill up at the rate of$2,4oo'ooo an
nually."

CHANNEL IS NOW BARE

For the first time in the history
of this old globe, man started work
excavating the clay on the now dry
river bed of the Columbia, which
has been turned aside by the two
cross-river cofferdams of the NV
AK.
Despite the cold weather, which
has caused a shutdown in all con-
crete pouring and related OPERA
tions, crews are still at work on
the cofferdams, on excavation of
earth and rock in the river bed,
and in tearing out of the old west
shore cofferdam between the two
cell clusters. Governernment fl
cures released last week showed a
total of over 1900 men at work,
with about 1900 of these on the
MWAK payroll. While the Swing"
and graveyard" shifts on portions
of the work have been cut off, be-
cause Of the extreme cold weather
on the river at these hours, adj
ditional men, mostly jackhammer
operators and other workmen, have
been added by the company, MAX
ing up for the loss of the two
shifts laid off.
Installation of the conveyor belt
will be started before long, as three
pits for the feeder units of the
belt are being excavated now by
dragline shovels. The belt is all in
place for a length or two down in
to the hole, and the laterals lead
ing to the feeders. Huge boulders
of basalt, some Of which protruded
through the stream at low water,
are being drilled for blasting.
So although a pail has fallen ov-
