The ingot iron pipes of huge pro-
portions, will lay underneath tho

giant gulch and they viii carry off
snowwater and other water during
the spring of the year. The network
of pipes will pretty well cover the
floor of the canyon.
Dumping of earth into Rattle

ried out. The conveyor system Is
rapidly nearing completion, with
workmen constructing the wooden
frame work along the dam site

system.
Rollers and steel work have been
placed in position on the lower end
of the line and hoppers also were
being constructed last week.
The enormous five-yard shoyeis,

Shine

A number of former football stars,
"did their stuff Sunday afternoon
when a team from the Twin Lakes
CCC camp played Nespelem team
which was composed of men from
town and from several other camps.
The teams had not had much
practice but the game was featured
by some brilliant individual play.
Alec Arcassa, former Carlisle
football star, coached the Nespelem
team and played quarterback for
the first half. Carl LeNday and Babe
Monroe, former Seattle high school
stars, both played stellar football.
The final score was 26 to in favor

CONCRETE WORK
STARTS In JUNE
AT COULEE DAM
MWAK Officials Expect To Be
Pouring Cement At Fast Rate
By Mid Year
Plan Giant Mixer
Will Be Able To Produce 10000
Yards A Day; High Water
No Problem On Job

GRAND COULEE DANI-Con-
crete will be pouring into the forms
of the Grand Coulee dam at the
rate of 10000 cubic yards day by
June l, 1885, if the plans now being
laid by officials of the AIWAK, gen.
eral contractors on the project, ma
terialize.
Work will have advanced far
enough by the middle of next year
to permit the pouring of the first
yard of concrete for the giant dam
which will hold back the waters Of
the Columbia river for power pur-
poses.
The concrete mixing plant, which
is to consist of 10 to IL huge four
yard mixers, will be able to manu-
facture the concrete in quantities
of 10000 cubic yards per day. This
total is equal to about six miles of
concrete highway, one foot deep.
The starting of pouring or "plac-
ing" operations on the dam itself
on June / does not only paint a
picture of amazing speed but also
brings out the fact that the build
ing of the dam here is an all-year
job, not stopped by rise or fall of
the river.
The cofferda1ns which will con-
sist of steel sheet-piling as high
as ITO feet, will be of sufficient
height to withhold the turbulent
waters of the vests mightiest
river. AS June l is during average
years the date of the peak of flood
waters, it can be seen that work
will not be interrupted by the
height of the river.
High Water No Trouble
On other dams, the water gen.
orally comes over the cofferdams
stopping operations. Here they will
be kept back by the steel piling
Pumping out within the structure
will not be Interrupted. Work on
the west-side cofferdam was started
this week.
The 10000 yard total for concrete
per day will be about twice that at
Boulder dam. The amount of con-
crete to be placed in the Grand
Coulee "low' dam is about the same
as the completed project at Boulder.
Excavation for the big dam will
start in earnest about December
or 10, according to officials. At
that time the five and six-yard
electric shovels and the worlds
largest conveyor system, capable
of handling $4,000 cubic yrds per
day, will be ready for concentrated
work.

The game was marked with spec
tacular plays and showed strikingly

locals played their best game OF
the year. The game was played at
Inchelium.

OKANOCAN COUNTY BRAND LAW
HITS FIRST LEGAL BARRIER
Year-Old Measure Attacked By
Aeneas Valley Rancher As
Unconstitutional
Demurrer Is Filed
County Attorney Seeks To Have
Complaint Thrown Out Of
Court
A legal maneuver aimed to defend

A legal maneuver aimed to defend
the countyis brand registration
ordinance, attacked as unconstitu-
tional by prominent Aeneas valley
cattle ranch operator in a complaint
served on the county sheriff and a
stock inspector last week, was
swung underway Saturday when P.
D. Smith, county prosecuting
attorney, filed demurrer in super
ior court.
1t asked that the complaint be
thrown out of court on the grounds
that the plaintiff, Ed Neal. has no
legal capacity to sue in the action:
that his alleged cause of action had
not been commenced Within the
time limited by law, and that the
plaintiffs complaint does not state
facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of action
Hearing Set Today
A hearing on the demurrer will
be held in superior court this morn
ing before Judge William G. Brown.
Stockmen of the county regard
the complaint as of prime import
ance. If upheld in superior court,
which would mean the dissolution
of the county's brand law unless
the fight was taken to the state
supreme court, it will nullify the
regulations which now provide
vigorous anti-rustling measures.
In his complaint Neal charged
that the ordinance is unconstitu-
tional and contrary to law, and
constitutes unwarranted interior
ence with private business. Since
the legislature already has pro-
vided by law that brands shall be
registered in the auditors office,
the county commissioners are with
out proper authority to order the
registration of brands in the
sherlff's office, 1t affirms.
The county also is without
authority to authorize county
officers to search any premises
without warrant, for evidence OF
violtion Of the ordinance, the COM
plant charges. It states that the
plaintiff, Mr.. Neal, was forced to pay
SIS inspection fees while making a
IGCtllb S1lDklI1CIlU, Ill OAuCA w oCSuA Z
certificates without which the rail-
road company would not haul the
cattle. The fee was paid under pro-
test. 80
The brand law passed a year and
half ago by the county COM
missioners, and which has been
taken as pattern by other coun-
ties enacting similar ordinances
provides for the registration of all
brands with the sheriffs office as
well as the auditor; for bills of sale
to he given with every transfer OF
ownership of livestock; for certifi-
Gates signed by county stock in
spectors to accompany every move
ment of livestock leaving the county;
for reports by butchers and other
buyers on all livestock purchased in
the county, for slaughter here or
elsewhere.
Warren Dickson, county livestock
inspector, was named as defendant
in the complaint with Sheriff W.
l., Gillespie.

FATAL ACCIDENT
 SUITS WITHDRAWN
Settlements Effected For Deaths of Auto, MotOr-
 cycle Victims

Two civil actions that arose from automobile and motorcycle collisions, in which deaths occur red, were withdrawn from the su- perior court today when settlement out of court was reported. The suits are those of Linda FalZone, administrative of the estate of Vio- let Felzone, aged 5, against Dianas Grenier and Mitry Syrotiak, admin istrator of the estate of Prokop Syrotiak of Seymour against Peter and Paul Balinsky of Oxford.
 In the Falzone action, the suit said the 5-year- old tot was killed by teh Grenier car as she was standing on Union street, Feb 4th about o'clock. The girl was stand ing on the curb when the car ap- preached and struck her, causing a fractured skull which resulted in her death the same day.

RELIEF FAMILIES
 TO RECEIVE MORE
Increase in Fresh Milk
 Hinges on New Haven Meeting To-day

An increase in the amount of fresh milk distributed to families on relief is expected to result from the meeting of public and private social workers and repre- sentatives of the Connecticut Milk Producers association held today at New Haven.
 The conference is the second held within the past few months in order to definitely set the pirce of milk for families on relief through held in Hartford recently 1t was be made available at z 1-2 cents per quart in order to compete with canned milk in charity distribu- ton.
 Data collected since this meeting by the State Emergency Relief Commission indicates that the po- tential market for fresh charity milk in the state is 100000 quarts each month.
 Several problems are involved in the attempt to scale the price down to z 1-2 cents. Farmers who pro- duce the milk will be forced to &C., cept less than the present fixed rate for fluid milk. Distribution would have to be made from some centrally located headquarters. The method being followed in Bridge port is to give out the milk from the schools.
 Executives of all relief organiza- tions in the state. both public and private, were present at the meet ing, which was held at the Coun- eli of Social Agencies, 165 Elm street, New Haven.

CHURCH PLAYERS
 REPEAT SUCCESS
Capacity Audience Expect ed At First Methodist
 Church Tonight

Another capacity audience is ex- pected tonight when "The Birds. Christmas Carol" dramatization of the Kate Douglas Wiggins story, Is again presented at the First Meth odist church by cast composed Of members of the church school. An attendance of more than 400 was present at the first performances, given December 21 for members of the school.
 The story is that of poor little rich girl, Carol Bird, who al- though a cripple, finds joy at Christmas time in Making Christ mas'' for the seven little "Rug- gleses in the rear," an indigent family whose antics in their own yard Carol watches with delight, thus finding compensation for her own inability to run and play like other children. Although she has some difficulty in persuading her aristocratic father to permit the proposed Christmas dinner party for the alley neighbors, she final ly wins. The scene in which the Ruggleses and their long suffering mother, preparing for the great event, try to muster up enough clothes and party manners to go round is so irresistible and up- roarious as to have become a clas- sic. The conclusion of the play, after the happy dinner party, Is not without its pathos; but this may be after all, one of the secrets of the appeal of this universally loved story. Members of the cast for the play are. as follows:
 Carol Bird, little "Snow-B Bird grown up, Dorothy Kenyon; Mrs Bird her mother, Mrs Charles Platt; Donald Bird, her father, Gin the nest, but not quite of tt.) Charles Platt; Uncle Jack, a Bird of Passage, MT Rollin Powell: FL frida Clifford, Carols nurse, Ca bird of another feather) Virginia Houston; butler in the Bird house. hold, Harold Blum; Mrs Ruggles,

The play has pro- logue and three acts; Act being Carols fairy-story room on a De- cember afternoon; Act II, showing us the Ruggles' kitchen on Christ mas day and Act IIItaking place on Christmas evening, again in the fairy-story room. The perform ance will begin at 8 p. m. There is no admission price charged, but silver offering will be taken to defray royalty and other expense. The public is invited.
