Another large shipment was re-
ceived at Okanogan, and was dis
tributed at 10 points, bands Of 20

WORK AT DAM
TO OPEN JOBS
FOR THOUSANDS
Grew Of 1000 Will Be On Pro.
ject By November Is, Silas
Mason Official Says
Will Hurry Plans
Next Few Days Will See Marked
Progress, Slocum Tells Con-
struction Men

SPOKANE-A payroll of 1s500 to
1000 men at the Grand Coulee dam
site by November Is, was predicted
here late last week by Harvey
Slocum, superintendent for the
Silas Mason group that will build
the $63 100000 power project on
the Columbia river.
Slocum, addressing meeting Of
construction men, said there would
be a great deal of activity at the
dam site within 10 days. He said
the payroll was expected to grow
until tine contractors town was
built, when it would taper off until
the start of pouring concrete, which
he expected to begin next May.
Slocum said the contractors ex-
pected to have a bridge of their own
completed within six weeks. 1t
would be used for moving moterials
and machinery across the river
and would not be open to the
public. 1t would be removed when
the dam is completed.

Nespelen Schools
Ordered Closed
DR.. Hudnutt Takes Action Tx
Prevent Infantile Paralysis
Epidemic Here

Prior to the order by the Okano-
gan County Board of Health clos
ing all of the schools of the
county until further notice, open
ing of schools had been post
poned by order OF DR.. F. G. hud-
mutt, local health officer, until
Monday, September II. While
J4lere are no cases of tnfanJl4t
paralysis here at present, there has
been a great deal of sickness both
among children and older persons.
It was considered wise to wait a
few weeks before starting school,
and it is probable that the weather
will be cooler by that time also. AL
of the teachers arrived here Friday
reaoy for school, but most OF them
returned to their homes for the rest
OF the vacation. Basil Anes, OF Sc
aOtle Who will be assistant principal
and autlletic coach, will remain here
until school opens.

CLAIMS LIFE
AT OROVILLE
Roy James Victim OF Infantile
Paralysis; Two Suspicious
Cases Watched
Health Board Acts
Prohibits All Public Meetings;
Theatres, Churches, Schools
Closed

An order prohibiting all public
gatherings in Okanogan county
during the present infantile paral-
ysis danger period was issued Mon
day by the Okanogan County
Board OF Health.
The boards order followed the
death OF the first victim Of the
dread disease in this county, Roy
James, sixteen-year-old son OF Will
liam James, who died Sunday af-
ternoon at Oroville after a three
day illness. Death was pronounced
due to infantile paralysis which at
tackled the respiratory muscles.
Fair Closed Monday
The ban applies to all public
gatherings, including schools,
churches and theatres. The county
fair at Oroville was closed Mon
day in compliance with the order,
which follows, as announced by DR..
E. NJ. Bevis, county health officer.
"By reason of the presence of a
severe type of infantile paralysis in
the county all public gatherings are
prohibited until further notice.
Parents are requested to consult
their physicians without delay for
any illness; keep their children
from crowds. off the streets, and
prohibit them from swimming.
That the restrictions of this Or
der may soon be recalled, physicians
will promptly isolate all suspicious
cases according to the state board
of health rules for infantile paral-
ysis and report to the county health
officers, giving brief history Of
the case and the degree of paralys-
is, if any.
"This order includes schools,
dances, movies churches, fairs,
swimming pools and all public
gatherings.
by order of the Okanogan Coun-
ty Board of Health, E. M. Bevis, M.
D. County Health Officer"
Two Suspicious Gases
DR.. Bevis said yesterday that two
suspicious cases in the county are
being closely watched. One of these
is William Smith, Pogue Flat. and
the other is at Okanogan. One in
fantile paralysis patient at Oroville
has recovered from the disease and
been released from medical care.
Public gatherings have for several
days been prohibited in many other
sections of the state in an effort to
break the epidemic which has
swept throughout the state during
recent weeks. Scores of cases and
several deaths have been reported
in larger cities, but the disease did
not appear in Okanogan county
until last week when Sonny Towne,
third grade student at Okanogan,
became i'll with the disease.

About 100 Indians left last week
for the Yakima hop fields, where

Nespelem Workers
Get Coulee Dam Jobs
Ten Men Employed; Building
Also Helps Employment
Situation

Employment conditions at Ness
pelem have improved rapidly lately
largely through the building activity
which has taken place IN the COM
munity, and the opening OF jobs at
the Grand Coulee dam. I
Last week ten men secured work
at the dam site, and indications
point to a steady increase in labor
at the dam during the next few
weeks. Employment policies followed
by the national unemployment SER
wee provide that residents of the
districts in which work is being
done on federal projects be given
preference when jobs are available.
