fiTTTORTOW W1 .TnW 91 tan
To be left behind by one's best friend
is tough, but when the pal who de-
oriB you nappens co oe me president
of the United States, it is just toj
much,
Rob Roy's eyes said that and more
as President Coolidge stepped from
his canoe after a morning s .shin
trip.
The Collie and Mr. Ooolidge have
been Inseparable since their arrival
at the camp, and the president en
joyed taking the beautiful white dog
in the canoe with him while fishing.
Morning and afternoon found them
together on the river, but the dog
soon began to act as though he
thought the trips were for his par
ticular amusement, jumping about and
barking in too lively fashion.
"Out me a short stick, John, about
a foot long," the president Bald one
day to his Indian guide, John Larock.
The stick proved an excellent" quitt
ing measure, for all the president
had to do was to pick it up and tha
dog subsided. This, however, grew
tiresome as reaching for the stick In
terfered with fishing, and Mr. Cool
idge decided to discipline Rob Roy.
"We will not take him along on
this trip," he said one day as he and
the guide started out "We will see
what happens."
The collie was lying nose between
his paws, by the lodge veranda when
the canoe returned. Usually he romp
ed toward the president when he saw
him, but this time he did not move,
not even when Mr. Coolidge and the
guide walked over to him. His eye,
however, never left the presidents
face.
"Robert, how are you?" ventured
Mr. Coolidge, but -there was no re
action from the dog.
Mrs. Coolidge came down the ver
anda steps and stooped to pet the
collie, remarking, " riy, Rob, that's
the president, don't you know him?
Rob s feelings were too badly hurt
to be soothed by a few words and it
took him some time to recover.
However., it Is no longer necessary
for the little stick to accompany the
president and the collie in the canoe.

AUTUEIL, France, July 21. C4V
America today defeated Italy in the
intersone final of Davis cup play and
thereby won the right to play the
French holders of the cup here be
ginning next Friday in the challenge
round for the trophy.
The American victory, without the
services of Bill Tllden, wan scored
In straight sets and straight matches.
The American doubles team of Qeorge
Lott and John Hennessey won the
deciding match today hy defeating the
Italians, Baron Humbert de Morpurgo
and Placio Oaslinl, 8-3, 0-1, 0-2.
America won the first two singles
matches in impressive style yesterduy.
Pro-Tilden sentiment among the
tennis fans was displayed In an ova
tion accorded Big Bill when he took
to the stadium courts after the dou
bles match, beating Jacques Brugnon,
French Davis cup player, 0-1, 8-0, in
two exhibition sets In sparkling 'con

two days.
"I must keep In condition. I am
ready for any developments, good or
bad," Tilden remarked smilingly prior
to the exhibition when asked about
his chances of playing against the
French next week. -
Big Bill then proceeded to thrill the
galiery with bis full battery of daz
sling strokes, clearly demonstrating
how much strength would be added to
American challenge round hopes by
the fashion in which he out-drove and
outguessed Brugnon.

The word "big" is going to enter
Into descriptions of the McKenile
river nydro-electric power construc
tion a lot. Everything up on the Lea
burg power Bite is big.
"It isn't" a stupendous undertak
ing," said J. W. McArthur, supervis
ing engineer, "but one has to see it to
realize Just what the construction
amounts to. It is not nearly so large
as the city of Seattle project on the
Skagit river, yet means just as much
to the city of Eugene."
For instance, the biggest ' lifting
crane and the biggest derrick mast
ever used on a project In the state of
Oregon, is being erected on the site
of the power house now.
Matt 120 Feet High
The mast of the rig Is 120' feet
six feet longer than the mast of the
rig used on construction of the city
water board's new reser.oir on Skin
ner's butte. Until now, the stick on
the reservoir job held the record for
height.
The boom, which win lift the loads
that must be lifted to the power
house, over it and all around it, dur
ing the construction of the next few
months, is 110 feet Ions and that's
20 feet longer than the boom used
on the reservoir derrick, and 20 feet
longer than any ever used before In
Oregon.
Both mast and boom' are of native
wood, a point that will be of interest
to the lumbermen of this community
who are stressing the need for the
use of more wood, or more use of
wood. The mast and boom were
brought down from Lane forests, pro
sumably not far from the present lo
cation.
. Where the derrick Is belrii erect
ed, long, lines of steel cable have
been stretched from the "truck" at
the tip top, to "dead men" in the
ground. They are known as "stays."
They stretch out over a wide expanse
or graveled river oottora land, where
the power house will be built after
excavation has been made in the grav
el and the walls cemented up and
steel giraers laia ror noor oenms and
some of the big machines Installed

To Dig Out Gravel
Between 0000 and 7000 cubic yards
of material must be removed from
that gravelly bottom, to make room
for the power house, and It isn't go
ing to be what is known as a "soft
job." , - .
There is no other way to remove
It except to dig It out and when they
get to digging down to the level of
the river surface, they are going to
be digging In water.
.Location of the power bouse site
is below the McKenxie highway and
when the entire plant is built will
reach long arms of steel under the
highway and up the slope of the hill
to the forcbey of the canal, to carry
the water in a sudden rush down to
the machines.
