Recently a group Of WPA work.
ers circulated a petition in this end
of this county and in Franklin

number of hours Of work allotted
and an increase in the base rate OF
pay. The petition was signed by 1852
businessmen and laborers and was
submitted to the federal department.
The petition was denied by the
department.
The petition as submitted to the
signers included the following: ia
borers now working on basis
of $40 per month for SO hours, and
whereas, the said amount Of $40 pei
month is not as much as they are
getting In other and adjoining

head Of the WPA department, who
wrote Mr.. Hill as follows: "The
question of increasing the monthly
security wage is general problem
and has been considered very care

Colored Hoopsters Put
Up Fine Exhibition

The Harlem Globetrotters, colored
basketball team which appeared on
the local gym Wednesday evening,
put up the finest exhibition OF
basketball skill ever seen locally.
The niggers were nothing short Of
marvellous in their skill and in adj
dition intersperced a lot of comedy
during the game. It really wasn't
. game, as the visitors could have
run the score far into the hundreds
if they had really tried.
The big crowd enjoyed the antics
and the skillful ball handling, how
ever and got q kick out Of one
phase of the game when three Of
the colored boys were keeping the
ball away from eight local players.

Hill
Plugs Dam at
Umatilla Rapids
Radio Address Points
Out Necessity for Fur
Their Development

A speech favoring the further de-
velopment of the Columbia was
given over the Columbia broadcast
on February LIST by Congressman
Knute Hill of Prosser.
Telling Of the necessity for the
dams, now under construction and
proposed, the congressman said:
1.-The result of development Of the
Columbia will be threefold: First
cheap electric power for the house
hold and the farm in agricultural
sections, and for the homes Of la
borers, the two groups who most
need, and may I say, most deserve
the necessities and comforts Of life
Secondly, cheap electric power
for the development Of our untold
soil and mineral resources sur
face of which has only been scratch
ed. For example, Idaho has the
richest deposit of phosphate rock
for fertilizer in the world, estimated
at five billion tons; the Cascades
have gold, silver, lead and anthra-
cite one vein estimated at fifty
million tons; fifty-seven different
varieties of minerals which will re-
quire three billion eight-hundred
kilowatts annually for twenty-five
years for processing purposes.
Thirdly, attractively reasonable
rates for electric power which will
be an inducement to capital to con-
struct extensive factories where mil
lions of laborers will find employ
ment.
"This will relieve the congested
sections of many of the large cities
of the midwest and east, and should
be welcomed by them. The limit
less natural resources of the Pa
cific Northwest both from the farm
and mine will furnish the raw ma
terial while the millions of labor
ers will furnish a market for the
products of the farm and factory.
The climate is so healthful, the
soil so fertile, the scenery so splen-
did, and the opportunities so great
that home life in the Northwest will
be real and attractive to all who
heed Horace Greeley's advice Go
West, young man.

West opened the Jack Of hearts,
which declarer won, leading . club to

and returned q small heart, declarer
winning with the king and West play
ing the nine. Declarer now figured
that East must hold q singleton dia-
mond for his double, so he played the
ace Of diamonds and then the jack,
finessing into East's blank queen.
East now played the queen and eight
Of hearts, West pmposely blocking the
suit and allowing East to retain the
lead. Thereupon East led q spade.
Declarer was still taken in by East's
informatory double, and played him
for the nee. He therefore jumped up
with his king Of spades. This play
indicated clearly that declarer had lost
his head, since no expert sitting in
Vests position would have allowed the
heart suit to be blocked without hold
ing . sure entry-namely the ace of
spades. West calmly won the ace of
spades, cashed his heart, returned q
spade and declarer suffered . penalty
Of six tricks.
Easts bidding was certainly decep-
tive. but the severe penalty can be ex-
planned only on the theory that South,
although m expert, lost hts head on

CTRANGE as 1t seems, the most
modern streamlined locomotive In
service today is built according tc
specifications laid down at least 20 CEN
turies ago by an ancient Roman
chariot makerl
Pounding over strong steel rails ut
30 miles an hour, modern trains still
use the same widespread the chariot
maker arbitrarily adopted before
Christ was born- feet 81 inches.
The first successful passenger rail-
way locomotive, George Stevenson's
Rocket" built in England in 1914,
used this widespread to conform to
the track width Of the Stockton 1
Darlington Railway, first in the world
This line. In turn, adopted the gauge
from horse-drawn carriages when the
latter vehicles were designed to run
on rails.
Carriages and other road vehicles
likewise had for centuries been built
with q standard tread of the same
width since the days of ancient Rome.
The reason for this was that the
chariots. forerunners Of the carriages,
wore deep ruts into the dirt highways
Of the past. and the carriages were
forced to adopt the same width to ut
the ruts.
