DENVER, April 16.-A "triplt meteor" that knifed through clear winter skies at several miles 9 second speed in a battle plane formation is the object of a scien- tific treasure hunt" in the West
 First visible near the Canadian border in Montana, the meteor three flaming balls of fire daz- zled hundreds of spectators along it's course on the night of February 12
 Seen either as one, two or three masses of streaking red, the meteor was observed at many points in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska.
 Search In Nebraska
 Dr. Harvey Nininger, curator of meteorites at the Colorado museum of natural history here, believes that fragments from the meteor can be found in Nebraska, where he thinks the sky phenomenon crashed to earth. He has instituted search for the meteorites.
 This meteor may have a rela- ton to the most remarkable met eoric procession ever recorded in America" Dr. Nininger said. He referred, he said, to the fireballs that were seen from Canada, across the United States, and as far as the Burmudas on a night in Feb ruary, in 1913.
 From the meteorites, or frag- ments, maybe we can tell if it was iron type" he continued They are the most rare. There may be a relationship between the two phenomenons since they occurred at about the same time and on almost the same day of February"
 First Hand Reports
 On 1,500 mile tour to get first hand information about the meteor, Dr. Nininger said he got reports from scores who had seen it.
 Nearly all thought it had passed directly over them" he said, but that illsusion came from the fact the meteor was at a height of IS to 40 miles.
 "It was an unusual meteor be- cause it was visible over such a wide area and because of the fact it travelled in three segments, something after the fashion of airplanes in battle maneuver
 While most observers believed they had seen it as long as five minutes, actually it was not vis- ible for more than 90 seconds. Robert Niebrach of Denver and a Bridgeport, Neb., woman timed it and said they saw it 50 seconds"
 Like Lighted Planes
 Dr. Nininger said the blazing bodies in the heavens impressed most persons who observed them as just like airplanes all lighted up."
 He said one Nebraskan imagined he was seeing dirigible with a light on either end.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-04-16

Only two persons, Dr. Niningel said, reported to him that the! heard the meteor as it zoomet overhead. They were MT and Mrs Ben Rose of Burwell, Neb.
 Most meteors travel much faster than this one," the scientist said T believe the fireballs descended somewhere in eastern Nebraska but there were more showers seer in northwestern Nebraska, and fol that reason I hope to find meteo- rites in that region"
 Guides For Searchers
 Searchers, he went on, can use these guides to determine wher they have located a specimen from the heavenly bodies:
 The meteorites will be heavier than ordinary rocks, dark in color and may vary in size from a wal nut to boulder.
 They may be of any color out side, but inside, when ground on an emery wheel, they will show particles of nickel-steel, or, if the meteor was an iron type, the in- side will be solid iron.
 To aid in his research, Dr. Nin- finger has asked that any frag- ments found along the meteor's path be sent to him for observa- ton.

INSIDE STORY
 ABOUT WATSON
 FOR CHAIRMAN
Senator $ Boom for High Position Started
 During Meal
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, April 16.-They tell story in senate cloakrooms of how the Jim Watson-for chair man of the republican national committee boom started
 A group of the more prominent republican senators were dining at colleagues home in the capital. Over coffee and cigars the conver- sation drifted to reorganization of the party's machinery.
 The name of prominent mid westerner, not actively engaged in politics at the present, was men, stoned as being the logical choice for committee chairman.
 There was marked unanimity among those present. As matter of fact, the more they discussed 1t the more enthusiastic they be- came. Only one appeared bit skeptical-probably the most ire fluential senator in the gathering. After a while he remarked:
 ''If you are looking for chair man who knows his party, who has a Republican record perhaps unequalled for loyalty, who epit omizes the popular conception of Republicanism, then Jim Watson is the man.
 It wasn't long before Watson's name was being mentioned among those likely to succeed to the chairmanship.
 But here's the story:
 Later, this same senator admit ted he mentioned Watsons name primarily because his colleagues were waxing too enthusiastic over the other gentlemen.
 Two former United States Sen ators now sit as members of the House-James w. Wadsworth, Re- publican of New York, and Mag nus Johnson, Farmer-Labor of Minnesota.
 The polished and suave Wads- worth and the rough and ready Magnus locked horns the other day during debate on the Bank head cotton control bill The en- counter was reminiscent of their days in the Senate.

 Acting Good

Playing to good houses both Fri day and Saturday nights, the Jun for Class comedy, Sweet Irish Colleen" proved to be a fine en- tertainment. The strong dramatic situations were relieved by flashes of Irish wit that kept the play moving all the time and interest at the peak.
 Undoubtedly the outstanding per formance was given by Myrtle Feero as Peg, the charming little Irish girl. Myrtle was altogether de- lightful and really seemed to live the character she was portraying Her costumes were pretty and in keeping with the girish part she took.

The first ha1oinger of the 1884 political campaigns (the thou sands of words of stump speeches which have gone into the Con- gressional Record eXcepted) has appeared on the Washington scene Appropriately enough, it is the familiar campaign cigar.

was asked by Johnson if it were not true that ''chiseling" and pulling the other way" on the part of Republicans was retarding recovery. Wadsworth refused to answer, but Johnson insisted re- peatedly. Finally Wadsworth told him he would answer his question at another time and, if necessary, in another place"
 You come up to Minnesota, some time shouted Johnson. we'll talk it over any time!"

Convincing Portrayal

= D~ VI ~ e|@ l Second in performance was As- trid Loken as the naughty middle aged Englishwoman, who made life altogether miserable for the little ward she was training-for a thousand pounds a year. Astrid gave convincing portrayal and was made up to look the part.
 Creditable acting was done by Lloyd Guerin as Francis and Jes- sic Fraser as Grace Although Bobby Feero has only minor role as the butler, he was excellent in the part. Mary Pearce, as the maid, took another minor part well. Gerald Cashen was splendid as the discontented married man who attempted to find excitement elsewhere than in his own home.
 In Character Part
 Glenn Edwards played the char acter part of Larry with credit; as did Albert Stragier, as MT. Sharp, the lawyer. Altogether, the action was smooth and interesting; the actors knew their lines and business; and the play. although extremely difficult for high school students to successfully present, was splendidly staged.
 The scene, representing a draw ing room. was built by the Man ual Training boys, under the su- pervision of Albert Stragier. Irwin Fleek installed ten lights along the ceiling on the inner side Of the curtain, adding greatly to a finer lighting effect.
 John Niemi played the accordion between acts both nights and quartet composed of Archie Ed miston, Glenn Edwards. Roy Will lims. Gerald Cashen sang Irish songs As part of the play, Myrtle Feero sang Sweetheart Darlin'" accompanied by Glenn Edwards.

So far, no church has been built although

irrigation project possible, will be 500 feet longer
At its highest point the rim of the dam will be

moving his headquarters and Office force to the
new location.
One hundred and sixty business houses have
been started in Grand Coulee thus far and new
ones are opening up each day. The greater
number of these establishments were started by
men with limited capital and they are starting
in on their business venture here in small
way but they are turning their profits back
into their business for expansion purposes and
plan to grow with the community.
With so much. construction work being done
here carpenters naturally outnumber all other
professions. Although the beer parlors come
first in number of establishments eating places
come next There are an even dozen grocery
stores in the community, two newspapers, .
daily and a semi-weekly.
The only business that has failed to make
q go of it in Grand Coulee is the shoe shining
industry. A couple three ambitious youths
have attempted this means of livelihood, but
apparently the dust got the best of them. The
dust is so heavy and so inescapable that most
Grand Coulee people have simply given up Try
ing to keep their shoes shined.
Ten thousand dollars was recently set aside
by the State for the construction Of school
house in Grand Coulee, building Of which Is
now under way. The State has also allotted
$4,000 for health and sanitation in the dam
site communities.
The future of Grand Coulee looks exceed
ingly bright today. Secretary Ickes of the
Department of the Interior has just signed the
contract awarding construction of the low dam.
which means employment on the dam Of ap-
proximately $500 men and a total population
in the Grand Coulee Dam area of at least 1000
Every indication leads one to believe that the
Government plans to erect the high dam upon
completion of the low unit which will mean
eight years, at the very least, Of construction
work and the spending Of over 500, OO,0OO
