Have you been able to visit
large bird aviary? The 7-A-1 ma
ture class visited Fred r. Bright IS
aviary, and think that he has fine
collection of birds. These are some
of the thinks that we looked for:
names of birds, appearance, color,
size, difference in male and female,
native food, and what use the bird
is. The class found everything
that they looked for. But the one
that caught my eye was the Bleed
ing Heart dove. On its breast it had
a red spot, looking like it had been
pierced with an arrow. l hope that
the rest of the classes get to go
and see the birds.

From Bedrock

ALMIRA, Wash, Dec. 1.-The i'm
portance of the slide last week at
the Grand Coulee dam site has been
largely overdrawn, Frank A. Banks,
construction engineer, said here to-
day.
The overburden, which has been
gradually slipping the last two
weeks, has moved about eight feet.
The largest amount of movement in
one day was ~ feet. The movement
has gradually eased until it has be-
come almost stationary, Mr.. Banks
said.
The slide, which is a continuation
of that of last April, was caused by
the seepage of water to bedrock,
making a skid for the overburden.

working order has been given the

Omak Theatre Gets
Arizona Wranglers
Famous Cowboy Radio Entertain.
ers Will Appear Wednesday
And Thursday

The greatest troupe Of entertain
ers in radio history! That's the
original Arizona Wranglers, the
singing cowboys who Left their A1i-
IONA ranch jobs six years ago to
score public acclaim that has new
er been equalled.
Unlike many radio groups, how
ever, their success on the air was
but the forerunner of their success
as vaudeville headliners. So per-
sistent have been the demands of
theatres for their services that they
have been unable to get away from
the footlights for many months.
/ This sensational troupe, which
has broken box office records every
where, will be at the Gem theatre
in Omak, Wednesday and Thursday.
The announcement that the original
Arizona Wranglers will be here in
person is regarded as the biggest
entertainment news of the current
season.
The whole Wrangler outfit will
appear in person on the stage. Pee
Wee, Uncle Iron Tail, Slicker, Sleepy
and the rest will render those cow
boy ballads and musical numbers
that set a new style in radio en-
tertainment.
Many Initiate Them
Every troupe who could outfit
themselves with banjos and ten-gal-
lon hats has attempted to initiate
the Wranglers but none have been
able to catch the flavor of the great
original cowboy troupe who touched
the heartstringS of the west with
their inspiring programs from KNX
in Hollywood.
Perhaps the success of the
Wranglers is due to the fact that
they sing and play the kind of songs
the audience wants to hear. Many
of the songs the Wranglers intro
duced to the air have became ma
t4onal favoriteS.
The history of the troupe is an
inspiration to any entertainer who
hopes some day to see his name in
big letters on Broadway. They got
their start singing and playing at
ranch dances in Arizona, but their
fame spread and they were ap-
preached by representative of
KNX who offered them their big
chance for national recognition.
They blazed lake a meteor across
the radio armament and then
started personal appearance tour
that has made them the vests
greatest stage performers. Three
shows will be presented daily at S,
z and 9 o'clock. The box office
will be open at 4:30 p. m.

provide that the Superior court
should have the power to remove or
suspend justices. Hearings for re-
moval or suspension would be held
upon the application of the attor-
ney-general or upon the Superior
courts own motion. The chief JUS
tice of the Supreme court would
appoint a commission to hear the
case.
If the proposal that county JUS
tees be abolished is made law,
the, Superior court would give coun-
ty commissioners a list of eligible"
candidates for the justice positions
remaining. This would not apply
in cities of the first class.
Another recommendation provides
for abolishing the office of con-
stable and turning duties of con-
stables over to sheriffs
The final recommendation was
that the governor should have au-
thority to appoint state highway
patrolmen from members of police
and sheriff staffs.

proposed legislation were Tam s..

FAVOR WHIPPING POSTS;
WOULD END RURAL COURTS

SEATTLE-Legalization of whip
ping posts and abolition of rural
justice courts were proposed for the
state by the Washington State Bar
Association legislative committee
yesterday. The recommendations
will be referred to the associations
board Of governors and, if approx
ed, will be submitted to the legis-
lature.
Whipping would be administered,
according to the proposed bill, to
persons committing a crime with
force or violence or with threats or
offer thereof, or by the aid or use
of dangerous weapons" or on per-
son convicted of a second or more
felonies.
Judges Would Impose Sentence
Only men would receive this
punishment.
A superior court judge would be
authorized to impose the sentence.
He would prescribe the number of
lashes and the use of CATO mine
tails or birch rod. The judge also
would designate the sheriff or head
of penal institution who would
inflict the punishment.
The law would provide that the
sentencing judge name physician
who would examine the convicted
man to make sure the felon would
not be permanently or seriously in
jured by the punishment. The
judge would decide whether the
lashes should be administered at
one time or in "installments."
Would Abolish Justices
Another reform would be in the
abolition of all county district JUS
tees of the peace. Justices in first
class cities would not be affected,
but the new system would call for
one justice for every county Tin
stead of one for every precinct as
at presently and one additional JUS
tice for each 10000 population in a
county.
The committee proposed a consti-
tutional amendment which would
enlarge the jurisdiction of justice
courts to cases involving up to $500.
Also, a new Appeal Court would be
provided, in that anyone in a case
involving more than $50 could APP
peal to a commission of three judges
of superior court. The judgment OF
the Appeal court would be final.

Each of the 20 counties east of the

against the measure but the vote
of Seattle alone was sufficient to
wipe out the east side majorities
and make the measure law.
Those of the east side who voted
against the proposal to give each
county one member of the legisla-
ture, and who have consistently sup
ported the initiative and referendum
