RIDDLE -DECISION DOES .NOT
ALTER TOLK CASE.
So far as the Enterprise is able to
discern, the supreme court decision
in the Riddle case does not affect the
action brought by Dallai and Inde
pendence. ' In the Riddle controversy
tv wrs no legislative enactment
denning the course of the highway,
and in the absence of a definite route
miction involved was i whetner
the state highway commission or the
county court had the authority in
the matter. The court has held that
this power is invested in the highwaj
onrriTnission. k
In Polk county it is an altogether
different case. By legislative enact
ment the highway is routed through
Dallas and Independence. - There can
be no quibbling over this much. This
would seem to leave only one point
of contention: Is the power of the
commission sufficient to override the
expressed declaration of the people
We cannot believe so. Naturally, this
will be"for the supreme court to de
termine. Independence and Dallas are only
ask!ng what they believe they are
justly entitled, and nothing has yet
occurred which could lead them to
think that they are not going to get
it.

Engagement Extraordinary
Most cities have a pulmotor, usu
ually a part of the equipment of the
fire department. In places the size
of Independence it would not be very
often that there would be use for
one. Still, it is an instrument
which, if used in time, will revive a
drowning person and' save life in
other instances. Had there been a
pulmotor available here the drown
ing accident at the Horst ranch last
week might have been averted. And
there is no telling what may happen
at any time at the river. Boys and
girls, young and old. are using it
freely for bathing purposes these
days. Most of them can swim, of
course, but there are treacherous
holes, and naturally chances are
taken. If a pulmotor would be the
means of saving one life it would be
a mighty fine investment. It has
been suggested to the Enterprise
that the instrument ought to be a
part of the city equipment.
i - ' - Nrmal Notes
Arrangements have been made for
the annual excursion to Salem-' which
affords opportunity to the Normal
students . to visit the state institu
tions in that city. The excursion is
scheduled for Saturday, July 24,
leaving Wonmouh at 8 a. m., and will
be in charge of President Ackerman
and Mr. Butler.
President Ackerman has recently
been notified that the Normal is to
receive a small legacy from" the es
tate of Miss Rachel Phillips, late of
Oregon City. Approximately ?4000

pleased with the numbers on the

especially fortunate to be able to at

The public is invited to attend the
chapel hour next Tuesday morning,!
July 27, when Governor Olcott "will
speak. The exercises will begin at
nine-thirty.
Dr. Barnes of Clark University
visited the Normal last Friday and
addressed the students at chapel
hour and gave several informal
class-room talks in the afternoon.
Dr. Barnes is a man of s-ound schol
arship and the Normal was indeed
fortunate to have the lectures by
him. ,
The annual entertainment known
as "Stunt Evening" given by the
students of theNormal, msechehserf

in the chapel next Wednesday even

Art Penney is chief in Chester's
support, and he is right there when
it comes to support. For a long
time prior to his trip to France,
with a few thousand other young
gentlemen of our great and glorious
country, in the interest of Uncle Sam
he was a headliner on the Orpheum
vaudeville circuit. His voice is con
sidered one of the best in vaude
ville and the songs he uses are the
kind that never grow old.
The beauty chorus is composed of
eirls especially selected by Conklin
from his own studio, and they are
the pick of the beautitm st.ue.io
queens of Los Angeles. The songs
and dances they offer were arranged
especially for them.
The jazz band is a big feature in
Conklin's studio family, and from the
way they wield tnose lnsirumems
you would think they had invented
jazz.
After each performance Conklin
will hold a reception and requests
from each of you the pleasure of
shaking you by the hand.
