BUSINESS MEN TO HEAR PLANS
FOR SUPPLYING POWER HERE
Three Engineers Work Out Pro-
posals To Present Com
mercial Club
Talk School Housing
Present Building Overcrowded,
William Tells Members;
May Use Grange Hall

Three definite proposals whereby
power and light could be furnished
in Nespelem, will be presented to
Commercial club members at next
Mondays meeting by representa-
tives of Three Engineers, Inc.
At last Mondays session, held at
the school lunch room and attended
by large number Of members, the
light and water committee for the
club reported that the electrical
company now is preparing plans for
the three propositions.
A survey has already been made
by the committee to secure an eSti-
mate on the number of lights, and
electrical appliances such as irons,
electric washers and other articles
which would be used in Nespelem
stores and homes.
Talk School Matters
The school situation was present.
ed by Superintendent Williams and
open discussion brought out numer-
GUS suggestions for temporarily re-
lieving the crowded condition of the
building. One plan suggested cal
led for the use of the Grange hall
where two or three grades could be
placed, provided two new teachers
could be secured. The school board
has been working to obtain funds
from some source, county or state,
to hire two extra teachers, and this
would give temporary relief.
J..J. Yeckel of TonasKet was pres
ent at the Commercial club meeting
and described the fire fighting
equipment of the Fyr-Fyter Co.,
which he represents. His company
furnishes chemical engines in all
sizes and this apparatus with anti
freeze chemicals.
The community development COM
mittee was asked to make survey
of the town and see what the senti-
ment Of the residents was toward
securing chemical fire engine. A
plan was suggested by which each
property owner could pay small
amount prorated on the valuation
of his property, which would make
a small amount for each property
owner to pay for adequate fire pro-
lection.

Chief Joseph, a Nez Perez, had
horses on the range and in the hills
when my men and myself were
prospecting and working, as did
others of the various tribes. They
would apparently drive them over
one hill or divide one day and a
few days later drive them back.
During his periodical rides, Red
Thunder would stop and visit with
us, more or less, and we got ac-
,quainted. I rather liked the man.
On one of his visits he got off of
his horse, sat. down on a log aid

tains bordering the Wallowa Valley

that time pay much attention to
his story. However, thereafter he
talked with my foreman, ali old
Colorado miner and told him about
the same story with some additions
to it. Next time I saw him I asked
him lot of questions regarding
the rock and gravel gold. He said
it was very hard country to get to;
that only Chief Joseph and himself
and one other of his family knew
it's location and that he could find
it.
