FOR COMMISSIONER POSITION
Thorp, Hendrick Take Places On
Republican Party Primary
Ticket
Nespelem Bourbon
Incomplete Returns Leave Several
Places In Doubt For
Both Parties

With incomplete returns leaving
positions still in doubt Okanogan
county voters at least partly made
good the commonly repeated threat
of cleaning cut the courthouse" at
the primary election.
Nespelem gave majority of its
primary vote to the Democratic
party, the commissioners race be-
ing of chief interest. j. r. Laycock
carried the precinct with 70 votes
against IA for E. v. B adley.
Okanogan county Republicans
nominated John F. Thorp for
assessor and Frank r. Hendrick Tor
auditor. The race between E. B.
Grinnell and Ella M. Watkins for
county superintendent of schools is
in doubt. Treasurer M. E. Tonseth
and Clerk Dale S. Rice were renom-
mated.
Harry E. Stark is leading in a
close contest for the Republican
nomination for sheriff and E. F.
Taylor for commissioner Of the First
district.
The commissioners race in the
Second district is in doubt in both
parties.
Laycock Leads
For the first time in history Omak
went Democratic in the primary
election to nominate j. r. Laycock
for county commissioners Of the
First district. Only in the second
precinct. which is largely on Pogue
Flat did the Republicans have a
majority.
G. w. Boyd again leads on the
Democratic ticket for sheriff
Arthur Nickel for clerk and r. G
Zwiesler has a slight margin fol
auditor.
In the race for representative II!
the state legislature Morris "A. Boil
niger and b. n. Richaeds So lead
Ing the Republican ticket and John
r. Jones and B. L. Smith the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Reports from 1,414 precincts out OF
1852 in the state gave Reno Odlin
a lead for United States senator on
the Republican ticket and L. B
SchWellenbach on the Democratic
ticket.
The vote was: republication

Engineer To Make
Hatchery Survey
Work Is Preparatory To Begin
ming Construction Of Beebe
Springs Rearing Ponds

Announcement was made Monday
by G. A. Stapleton, state game COM
missioner, that an engineer is being
sent to the Beebe springs near
Chelan for the purpose of making
a Typographical map of the prop
erty.
This work is preparatory to the
beginning of actual construction
work on the rearing ponds for the
fish hatchery. Funds for the pur-
chase of materials to be used in the
construction work are on hand, and
the commission expects an allot-
ment of VERA money to care for
the item of labor.
Similar work for the game COM
mission has been going on at Grit
fiths Springs near Spokane since
late in the spring. A CCC camp has
been located there and many of the
buildings used by them have been
SO constructed and located as to be
permanent additions to the program
Of the state game commission after
the departure of the CCC contin-
gent.
Salmon Problem UnsOlved
In commenting on the meeting
held few days ago in Portland,
where a gathering of naturalists,
engineers, government officials and
representatives of the fishery de-
partments of both the states Of
Washington and Oregon, discussed
the question of fishways for the
Bonneville dam, G. A. Stapleton
said that to date the state game
commission had not agreed on any
plan for the provision of fishways
over the Coulee dam.
The problem of furnishing
means for the salmon to pass over
these two barriers on their way to
their spawning grounds and to then
return without injury on their way
to the ocean, is one that has not
been solved.

MAY ERECT NEW BUILDING
,Workmen On Way To Dam Dis
cover Blaze About $3.50
A. M. Tuesday
Daugherty Building
Contents Was Partially Covered
> By Insurance; Concrete Walls
Still Sand

Fire of unknown origin burned
the contents and Quilted the interior
of the j. M. Koontz store here
early Tuesday morning. Every
thing was destroyed except the walls
of the building which were of con-
crete.
The blaze was discovered about
$3.50 o'clock by men who were on
their way to work at the Coulee
dam. Considerable effort was put
forth to save nearby buildings. It
was believed that the fire started
in the basement of the store.
The loss is estimated at $4,000,
and is partially covered by insur-
ance. The building was owned by
the late Robert Daugherty, who died
Sunday in a Spokane hospital and
was erected by him in 1917.
Mr.. Koontz, who has been in
business here since 1917, stated that
he might rebuild.
Registration books for this pre-
cent were destroyed in the fire,
and it was necessary to get a new
list of voters from Okanogan.

Corn-Hog Group
Names Supervisors
To Make Check On All Farmers
Who Signed Production
Control Contracts

OKANOGAN - The OkanOgan
County Corn-Hog Production Con-
troll association met Monday in the
offiee OF the county agricultural
agent and appointed supervisors
whose duty it will be to make a
thorough check on all farmers of
the county who signed the corn
hog production contracts. The as
ISOLATION officers also checked the
current bills.
Members of the association are
j. A. Duchow, Havillah, president;
Claude Dibble, Winthrop, vice pres
ident; w. r. Turner, Chesaw, and
Otis Buzzard, Okanogan, directors.
The allotment committee for the
association is comprised of Mr.. Du-
chow, Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Buzzard.
They are in charge of the supervi-
sion of the production control work
pertaining to the corn-hog field of
this county.
Instructions Given
Vernon Chapman, county agricul-
tural agent, stated that letters had
been mailed several days ago to
every contract holder in the coun-
ty. Enclosed in each letter was a
copy of the corn-hog contract and
detailed instructions as to what in
formation each farmer should have
in readiness when the supervisor
visited him to make the inspection
for compliance with the contract.
Actual work of inspection will start
this week and carried rapidly to
completion.
Mr.. Chapman particularly en-
phasized the Importance of each
hog producer under the plan, hav-
ing pages and 9 of his record
book completed according to in
structions before the supervisor ar
rived. Cooperation in this detail
by the farmer will do much to
speed up the work of inspection
and also materially lower the cost.
On the satisfactory completion Of
the inspection work, the second
payment of $100 per head will be
made. The total of this payment
for the entire county will involve
$4,000 and this sum will be divided
among Ill farmers in all sections
of the county.
There are only five farmers in
the county who come under the
clause in the contract, involving the
acreage of corn produced.

Okanogan County Board of Health.
Cooler Weather Aid
DR.. E. M. bevls, county health Of
ficer, stated the latter part of last
week that only the timely appear
ance of cooler weather or a heavy
rain would justify the lifting of the
order, ana that Jhe1e was posi-
bility that the ban would remain
on the county until the end Of the
month.
DR.. Bevis stated Monday, how
ever, that the board believed con-
ditlons warranted the lifting Of the
ban in another week, except for the
Okanogan valley towns from Malott
north. Cases under isolation in
these communities, or tributary to
them, indicate a continuation OF
sthe restrictions for. the present" DR..
BeviS stated.
A continuation of the cooler Wea-
ther and rains in the county of the
past few days may aid in lifting the
quarantine in the Okanogan valley
sooner than was expected.

Preparations on the site where
will be located the most modern
and largest hospital in North Cen
trail washington, were started at
the Indian agency last week when
crew of workmen moved the large
Indian service garage approximate
ly 100 feet east Of its location at
the south end of the campus.
The hospital, for which $4,000
already has been allocated, is ex-
pected to be under actual cOnstruc-
ton in very short time, according
to information given the Tribune
by Harvey K. Meyer, superintend-
ent Of the Colville Indian reserva-
ton, and under whose supervision
the big project has been progress
sing.
Mr.. Meyer revealed that federal
Indian service representatives def
initely have declared that if the
costs of the hospital can be kept
within the estimated expenditures,
close to the amount allocated for
the purpose, work will be started
very SOON.
Expects Early Start
'The prospects for early con-
struction are extremely favorable y
Mr.. Meyer commented. "Plans have
been drawn and the way is prepared
for work to be started"
Optimism was aroused locally by
the fact that the site is being pre-
pared for the structure. Observers
stated that this is the first actual
EWoEk that has been done on the
project, and declare that everything
points to immediate development
as far as construction is concerned.
The site is located south of the
green oval at the agency grounds.
The building will front on the
campus, and will be of the most
modern and complete type. It will
require the addition of a large staff
of hospital attendants, both doc
tors and nurses, it is reported, as
we'll as laundresses, kitchen staff
and other employees.

Old Russia Treasures
Still Being Located

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.-Despite the
intensive treasure hunts for hidden
gold carried out by the Gay-Poo-Oo
since the revolution, there still re-
mains hidden about Russia goodly
quantity of wealth. waiting to be re-
claimed by its owners or to be dis
covered by officials.
Occasionally a lucky chance re-
suits in the Soviet recovering some
of this treasure without putting peo-
pie suspected of having hidden wealth
ito the question"-the method most
commonly employed.
Recently a common laborer en-
ployed in razing house ripped up a
section of flooring and found tin
can which when opened was found to
contain several thousand dollars in
faded dollar bills and 100000 rubles
in czarist bills, now completely WORTH
less All of the money was instantly
confiscated by authorities.
Not long ago a group OF workers
enjoying a holiday in a rest home"
in the Crimea discovered a package
containing $1,000 hidden under the
roots OF an apple tree. They had
already divided up the money among
themselves when the Gay-Poo-Oo ap-
peared and took it.

as the United States requires sanction
of the State Legislatures and of Con-
gress for any amendments to the
American Constitution.
Labor has been particularly press
ing in its demands for amendments
having carried on 15-year educa-
tional campaign. To foster national
suity by giving greater power to the
federal government to deal with social
and labor legislation and to bring
about such changes in the constitu-
tion of Parliament as may be nee
eSsary to make decisions of the
elected representatives of the people
paramount, are two of the reasons
for labor seeking revision of the B.
N. A. act.
Business men are fighting double
taxation made possible by the indefi-
niteneSs of the constitution. Litiga-
tion has failed to solve the problem
In one case the Privy Council de-
cided that a company with a Do
mlnion charter could do business in
any province. In another case it de-
clded that a company with a prov
incial charter could do business in
any other province Then some prov
inces discovered they could require
companies to take out licenses to hold
property within their borders, which
several legislatures did.
Uniformity Is Necessary.
Such social legislation as old-age
pensions, unemployment insurance.

within the jurisdiction of The prov
lnces, but uniformity is necessary for
practicability. If any one province
adopts pensions, health insurance

Prime Minister Bennett at the last
session of Parliament said "compro-
misses are very difficult to change
without consent of all those whose
interests may be affected; but any
steps We may take" he said. will be
taken so as not TO strain the existing
machinery"
1t is recognized that British Co.
lumbia's action in giving its cabinet
authority to borrow on the sole credit
of the province and to lend money to
industries and municipalities aroused
keen governmental anxiety in Ottawa.
Instead of the British Columbia Leg

act gave the Dominion no control.
Such problems as these will come
before the forthcoming conference.
