Pays That Decision Airaint

To Pains On Matters Out

(My Associated Pi ess
- WAHHLNUTON, Juno 7. Declar
ing that the supreme court decision
' In tho Coronado coal case was "most
ominous in what it foreshadows Cur
ttie future of union labor," Sura
tor Lai'olletle of Wisconsin, today
l&su-ed a statement criticising the
court.
i Ho declared that tl:o opinion wa
"significant because of "What the
court, says on questions not in
volved fn tho catso rather than be
cause of anything actually decided."
He, said that a six-line decision was
all. that was required but the court
Vwont out of its way through 2f
iges to berate tho -defendants and
characterize them as out-Laws and
murderers."
Tho main event of last night's box
ing enrd nt the Star -Theatre resum
ed ill a ten-round draw between K!il
Jvarthor Inid Kid .Marl). Wildcat Tun
ny won fiom Mickey Donipsoy in the

'threw Iho spongo int the ring. Tho
,twti preliminaries, a four-round scrap
dictween liutner and - Clnpp and a
.three-round go between the two Fords,
: malted in draws.
In the first half of the Karther
Sarp f iff ht, Sarp had u little the ad
vantage of his opponent but Karthct
whipped up in the last half and even
ed things up, getting a draw from
Sarp. The fight was fast and poppy
from the first hell until the end of
the tenth, both men giving everything
they had.
The final preliminary, an eight
round maleh between Tunny nn.l
Dempsey, was a one-sided affair due
to the fact that Tunny outweighed
Dempsey by 1:2 pounds, 'Dempsey took
the aggressive ami pioved to be fast
er than his adversary 'but couldn't ov
. orcomo the weight hnmlv'U). The
sponge was thrown into the ring nt
the last of the seventh to prevent
Dempsey from taking further punish--mcnt.

Danger of ImiiWMliatc De

cial.
O. A. Kriitz, city managed
turned last eTcHlng from BeaTer
Crcok lnkirt, where he haa beonjiu.
pertutendlng the preliminary work
of repairing tliu spillway which wNm
dumaged uCTaral weeks ago. Mr.
Krutz reports that the dam which
hua at Turious times beien reportei!
as ''banging by its eyebrows," and
ra.uly to go out at any minute will
bo aufe for another year, accord
ing to indications at preprint.
A email Jtemporary dam had to
be put in to atop the sluicing away
of the banks that began fullowiiiit
tlie spillwiay'a being carried out -but
little damage was doue.. A metal
Hume, Trill be put lu leading to the
spillway and prerent further dan
ger of cutting away the bank. i
Two bridges were buiH along tbe
road to the lake by Mr. , Krata'
crew. The road was also put into
shape so that the materials needed
for the coustructioni work can be
hauled u.'p. ' ;' '', "i '
The lcrcl of the lake haa dropped
10 feet and the stumps that werr
left; In the bed of. the lake when th
dam was built are ailn plainly
visible. Mr. Kratz expects to hare
these all cleaned out this fall when
the water is low. '
Thite la plenty of wator comln;
into the lake and down, Col creek
to keep La. Grande supplied, he mid.
During the summer there will be
about 60fl gallons a tnlrruta flowing
into tlie lake and an additional 400
Bullous a minute n Cute cwek. The
normal consumptfon is . about 808
gallons a minute.
The tourist ramp at Ihs city park
is rapidly comlnt into Ha own with
the summer well undar way and tha
tourists, fronj every point in the
United States "hitting -tha trails"
for unknown parts, are nocking
through the city In ever IncreiiBlne
numbers4
The tourists coinliic through now
are a lumpy bunch due to the fart
that the roads are In good ahsipe
and anything lu the way of . bad
roads are few and far between. A
few rough places are experienced
traveling from hero to Idaho but
not enough to take the1 smiles from
their faoes.
Many complimentary remarks are
heard from tourists, who have ex
cepted I.a Grande's hospitality for
the evening, in rettirds to tho ramp.
During the month of May 240
cars registered at the camp from
all parts of the United Stales and
the dally number Is rapidly Increas
ing which points lo a ,posslbly treb
led number that will make use of
the camp in Juno.
