Mayor Warns
OF Arrests
Near Fires

Mayor Henry T. Powell TODAY is
sued warning to the public that in
the future arrests will be made of
persons interfering with firemen on
thelr way to fires and who in anv
way obstruct the efforts of firemen
IN lighting flames. The mayor CIT
ed previous appeals to the citizens
not to crowd the firemen or the
truck, and said that the appeals had
been frultless. Arrests will now be
resorted to, he said.
The statement by the mayor fol-
lows:
l wish to call attention of the cit
liens OF Henderson 10 the following
ordinance of the City of Henderson:
Section IS. THAT in event of an
alarm OF fire the trucks and APP
paratus Of the fire department shall
nave the right Of way in and upon
said streets, lanes, alleys, squares and
railroad crossings in going to any
ire, and being upon such Streets
lanes, alleys, squares or railroad
crossings, and no person shall OBJ
Struct or neglect to make way for
the apparatus"
Section Sc. THAT it shall not be
lawful for any person to ride or drive
vehicle through any street, lane,
alley or square in which the fire de-
partment is assembled for the pur-
pose Of eXtinguishing a fire, so as to
hinder, ObStruct or interfere with the
firemen in the discharge of their duty
or to injure the hose or equipment"
It has been the policy Of the City
OF Henderson to secure the coopera-
ton Of the citizens in not hindering
the fire department without arrests.
But the citizens of the city have
shown so little regard for the de-
partment and have thereby hindered
the department in the discharge of
their duties and have placed the lives
and property of the people in dan
ger that drastic steps must be taken.
The police department has there
fore been notified to arrest any per-
son who shall operate a motor We
hicle over any street, or alley, be-
tween the fire and the nearest hy-
drant between the time the fire alarm
shall sound and the fire department
shall leave the fire.
This is made necessary by the fact
that at several fires the truck has
proceeded to the fire and cars have
rushed in to the extent that the truck
would be pOWerless to return to the
hydrant should the booster tank fail
to eXtinguish the fire.

GRAND COULEE NOW LARGEST
MAN-MADE STRUCTURE

The daily production of concrete
for completion of Grand Coulee Dam
is expected this year to break the
world IS record output it established
in 1887 when in single day 49,
S44 yards of concrete were poured,
enough to pave 61a miles of 20-foot
highway. That 24-hour record may be
exceeded by enough to lay an addit
ional mile of pavement.
Since Thanksgiving Day, 1885,
when concrete placing began, five
million cubic yards of concrete have
been placed in Grand Coulee Dam,
the biggest block of artificial stone
ever made, and already the biggest
man-made structure of all time though
less than half completed. Five and a
half million yards of concrete have
yet to be placed
The enormous quantity of con-
crete to be made, and the high rate
of production required on this pro-
ject justified the installation of mix
ing equipment of great capacity, and
the use of control devices of great
intricacy and precision. The mixing
plant is known locally as the house
of magic.

That was the case of Rainier National
Park and the outstanding fact was

crease in cars entering the park.
To say that Washington CASH
tourist business increased $1O,000,-
600 last year is setting very con-
scrvative figure, but that means that
for every dollar spent last year in
advertising, we got back 500 in cash
Without that 100000 investment,
our state certainly would have shown
no increase in tourist business, but
with it our cash registers in Wash
ington rang out a $10,0OO,000 song.
What other investment is being
made by Washington today that IS
paying anything like such returns
Early estimates of last years tourist
industry were too conservative. The
survey of those who actually came
here, shown through questionaires
they filled out in their home, show
the figure of around $8O,000,000
to be near correct.
Washington can be developed
through advertising into the greatest
tourist state in the United States.
Every dollar invested in advertising
will bring back at least 500 in cash.
That is strong statement but tho
figures are now available to support
it.

HERE'S A GOLD MINE THAT'S
PAYING DIVIDENDS

Anyone who had a mine paying
100 per cent would get his picture in
the papers and be rated a big bust
ness man, a very big business man,
indeed.
Last year Warrington invested a
little more than 100000 in advertis-
ing and the money didn't double but
went more than 100 to 1. We call
that BIG business.
With the Golden Gate Exposition
opening this year, tourist business in
the west fell off last year, all the way
from to 20 per cent, but Washing
ton showed an increase of about Iv
per cent in places where anything
like an accurate check could be made.
