It is practically decided that the
McCarthy celebration will take place
on Monday, July 5. The Kenneeotl
Copper Corporation will declare that
day a general holiday, closing all de
partments. It is expected that Ken
necott people will visit McCarthy er
masse.
Strelna will celebrate on Sunday, the
Fourth, with a general good time. All
kinds of amusements and contests and
a chicken dinner at Dwyer’s inn will
be one attractive feature.
The gun club which was recently
organized at Kennecott is giving a
great amount of enjoyment to its
members. This week’s shoot included
a close match between Dr. Gillespie
and Bill Douglas—Douglas breaking 38
birds out of 50, and the doctor, who
was a little out of form, 35.
A wedding took place on Thursday
employ of the C. R. & N. W. railway,
Charlie Martin, a track walker in the
afternoon at Mrs. Pete Johnson’s when
was married to Bessie Escalita, daugh
ter-in-law of Chief Escalita. The cer
emony was performed by U. S. Com
missioner C. Parker Smith. The bride
groom is a Finlander and the bride a
Copper river Indian.
A party of Ivennecott ladies, Mes
dames Kay, Olsen, Overgarde, Schnee

week and enjoyed an auto ride sev

the guests of Henry Olsen.
Steam shovel No. 35, C. R. & N. W.

WOOL GROWERS |
TO ELIMINATE
MIDDI i MA
• ALBUQUERQUE, N. M„ June 17
i! (by Associated Press).—The Wool
s Grower’s Co-operative Association of
,1 New Mexico has been formed for the
purpose of eliminating middlemen and
increasing the returns to the sheep
men. It is the intention this year to
concentrate in a warehouse in Chi
cago, for grading and selling to spin
ners, as much of the wool clip as is
pledged to the association. When the
association is considered as perma
nently established and is sufficiently
strong financially, arrangements will
be made for one or -more bonded ware
houses in this state, where the wool
will be graded and sold.
Sheep men say at present wool
passes through the hands of from two
to five persons after the grower sells
it before it reaches the man who
makes it into cloth.
New Mexico’s wool clip this year
will, it is estimated, amount to 18,
000,000 pounds. Growers have already
pledged 3,000,000 pounds to the asso
ciation.
NEVADA TO ABOLISH
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
CARSON CITY, Nev., June 17 (by
Associated Press).—Abolition of cor
poral punishment is recommended in
the report of a committee appointed
by Governor Emmet D. Boyle to in
vestigate management of the state
orphans’ home. The practice of send
ing unruly children to bed supperless
also should be done away with, the
report said, and advised that the chil
dren be given a measure of self rule.
Williams & Lubbe have secured the
contract for cutting and hauling 350
cords of wood and mining timbers for
the Mother Lode Coalition Mines Com
pany. Mr. and Mrs. Williams went
to the lower camp this week to estab
lish a camp.
A new sidewalk is being laid in
front of Dougherty’s store.
SCHROEDER WILL TRY TO FLY HIGHER |
Just about the first thing Maj. R.
W. Sehroeder of Chicago, said when
he came to in the hospital at Dayton,
was that he was going higher next
time. The major had just flown to
36,020 feet (a new record), and had
fallen more than five miles while un
conscious for two minutes, landing
with eyes frozen shut and in a state
of collapse. The immediate cause of
the flyer’s troubles was the exhaus
tion of his oxygen tanks. His instru
ments show that he exceeded Roland
Rohlf’s world record by 5,070 feet,
and that he encountered a tempera
ture of 67 degrees below zero.
It thus appears that Major
Sehroeder was actually bumping
around in what: the scientists jocu
larly call the “roof of the world.”
They assert that there is a mysteri
ous, intangible roof to the w’orld.
where the thermometer stops falling
and even begins to rise.
