A PROMINENT of U. s.
Sen. Lewis Schwellenbach
TO the Eastern Washington
federal district judgeship
clears the political skies in the
state. Long rumored, the
appointment leaves the sena-
torship wide open for what
probably will be a long list of
candidates on both democratic
and republican tickets. One
question still hanging fire is
whether or not Gov. c. ID.
Martin will seek the senator
ship or smash tradition and
try to be reelected governor
for a third term. Martins
decision will determine to a
large extent how many candi-
dates seek the democratic
nominations for both senator
or governor.
One thing the appointment
of Schwellenbach did and that
was to break the log-jam of
long pending appointments.
These included reappointment
of A. J. Chitty of Tacoma as
u. S. marshal in this district,
appointment of Wayne Be-
IONA as marshal in Spokane
and Carl w. Smith as state
WPA administrator to sue
coed Don Abel. These ap-
pointments had been held
back largely because of the
political feud between Sens.
Bone and Schwellenbach, who
refused to agree on certain
appointments.
AN optimistic report on in
"A dustrial expansion for the
Pacific Northwest was made
by Mayor J. j. Kaufman and
Chamber of Commerce Man.
ager 7. A. Stevenson upon
their return from a five
weeks trip in the East. They
secuted many plants that may
possibly be induced to settle
here and although no commit
ments were made. there is
strong likelihood of new fac
tories being established out
here in the chemical, pulp
and metal fields. Availability
of large blocks of power is the
lodestone drawing these
plants. Exact location of these
will depend largely upon ac-
feasibility to raw materials
needed. Certain it is. that the
Northwest's industrial future
is bright. The report just SUBJ
mitted is another indication
of that.
One fly in the ointment
was the lack Of knowledge of
the Puget Sound country on
the part Of many big time
executives. This la OK, Of

DOUGLAS May 3-ThiS colorful
border community has gone COM
pletely Western in preparation for
its second annual Rodeo and Fiesta,
May 10-11-12.
The principal streets of the city
are gaiIy and appropriately deco
rated for the event, but the most
striking note is the garb of the citi-
zens. Every adult, man or woman,
and the older youths are wearing
at least one article of Western at
tire. Those failing to do SO are cited
into court by the vigflantes and
punished. CorralS have been erected
on the main street and each day the
yigi1antes patrol the city in a spe-
cial police car looking for victims. -
During the three days, the vigil
anteS have been in action, more
than 100 persons have been hailed
into the court.
The whiskerinos are again func-
tioning this year with large num-
Der of men growing various types
of boards.
The officers and directors Of the
Douglas Rodeo and Fiesta Assccia

be bigger and better than ever. In

The chief censor explained that
all ships proceeding to Europe
must have navicerts, certificates
from British consular authorities
declaring that cargo is not of enc
my origin or destination.
He said that because the Exc

Any mail released by the CEN
sor will be forwarded by the next
available ship, as the Exochorda
proceeded after surrendering it.
