AT COUNTt'S GRAVEL CABLE
It is reported that the coin- is

& vallia i angry over the cable
w which extended Irom the I.inn tu
(!) the Benton county shore in the
- river at the foot of Jackson
street in this city, and that the
is) company may sue for an injunc-
& tiun to forbid the county tu op-
crate in dredging rock irom the
d river lor road purpose.
The trouble seems to arise &
from the fact that recentlv one
of the boats started to back
(!) down the stream while a new 5
workman at the rock crusher
was greasing the pulley on the
rock bucket, the cable being out
of the water for the purpose.
The workman staled that the
boat gave no warnitiK. while the
captain says he whistled. The
cable was let down without the
boat's touching it.
A week ago Sunday the cable
was either cut or pulled looe
from its moorings on the North
hank. The exact trouble had not
been learned yet, but workmen
were busy today getting the ca-
hie out for inspection.
County Commissioner J. D. Ir-

CANADIAN GIVES INTER
ESTING TALK 6N THE WAR
Although the moving pictures of
the war shown by the Canadian sol
diers at the Globe Saturday were not
of the thrilling, hair raising battle
pictures that were expected by some,
the illustrated lecture given by Pri
vate W. E. Collinge, of Victoria, of
the famous "Fighting Seventh" bat
talion, waa good.
Only 6.9JU feet of film were shown.
of which all but one short battle
scene of the worst prhaaea of the
war were eliminated. There are 13.
tJO feet of film Uken of the Canad
ians but, owing to the fact tliat many
mothers and relatives of American
soldiers do not like to sec the wool,
all of that was left out and the lec
ture devotedto the educational and
illustrative. Just a few fret, a com
pany of Belgians craw-ling into a raid
in the early part of the war, was all
that was shown. -
Taking the Canadian regiments
irom the time they left home until
they reached France, Private Col
linge gave an interesting account of
the journey. He told about the trip,
the amusements, the conditions of
camp lite, life in the trenches, and
a-e an account of how he lost his
hand when, on a bombing expedition,
Jie picked up a German bomb to
throw- it back, when it exploded in
his hand. Lance Corporal Roy Mc-
Lennon, who was with Collinge,
bears 81 wounds as a result of a
shrapnel shell exploding near him
as he lay snoozing in the sun.
Especially interesting w ere the pic
ture illustrations of the movements
of troops and ships at the battles ol
Ypres and Jutland. Many other in
teresting things about the war were
shown, and Private Collinge took
time to explain, along with hospital
scenes, the wonderful work the Red
Cross is 'doing, and urged the un
stinted support of that organization.
"Had it not been for the Red Cross,
after I had been wounded and bleed
ing for three hours, I would not 1e
here tonight to tell about it." he said.
