Construction Of new store
building directly east OF the former
j. M. Koontz store, destroyed by

undertaken soon, Mr.. Koontz has
informed the Tribune.
The new structure would be
erected on the southeast corner of
the same block in which the store
formerly was operated, south of the
Texaco Service station, on property
owned by Mr.. Koontz.
An insurance adjuster was sche-
duled to make a survey of the fire
loss early this week, Mr.. Koontz
said. Loss was estimated at about
$4,000, including the building and
large general merchandise stock
1t was partially covered by insur-
ance.

impossible to begin construction on
the site of the former store.
Mr.. Koontz also has just finished
construction of the third new home
included in building program he
has had underway in Nespelem this
summer. The building, located in
the northeast section, is of stucco

BRIDGE SITES CHOSEN
FOR CONSTRUCTION AT DAM

Pending approval 10y the board
of directors of the general con-
tractor, Siles Mason co. Inc, sites
for the two bridges to be erected
by the company have been definit-
ely selected.
Engineers concluded work this
week on the survey and decisions
was reached to span the Columbia
river short distance upstream
from the Tuttle Brothers ferry
slips.
Original, plans called for the
structures to he situated down.
stream from the ferry landings
but deep water at this point made
it necessary to find another loca-
ton. The two structures will be
situated only a lew yards from
one another.
One span will be used temper
arily to haul equipment across the
river while the second will have
longer life as a highway and
railway bridge. Engineers have
completed running lines for the
company railway from a connect
ing point with the U. S. construc-
ton railway from Odair to the
dam site.
No decision has been reached
as to whether the general public
will be allowed to use the high
way bridge. The state cantilever
span will not be completed for an
other six months, it is said.
Running of contour lines In
Rattlesnake canyon has been fin

relief. The extreme ruggedneSs OF
the deep crevice made the job OF
determining the elevations OF the
various areas of the canyon a dill

Burglars Crack !
Okanogan Safes
Get $3.50 In Cash And Merchan-

And Meat Market

Two OkanOgan safes yielded a
total of Approximately $3.50 in cash
and merchandise last week to yeggs
who county sheriff'S officials de
7ciafpu were expert c1acksmGr.
The Monroe Drug company was
entered Saturday night and mar
cotics stored III the safe and valued
at more. than $3.50 were taken. A
fountain pen case was rltled and
other merchandise taken. Old coins
and Jew dollars in cash also
were taken from the safe.
On Thursday night burglars
opened the safe in the Economy
Meat Shop and took $10I, including
cash and a few small checks. Be-
fore leaving they scOoped up be-
tween $50 and 200 pennies left in
the cash till.
Say Experts Did Work
Investigating officers said yester-
day that botn jobs showed that
experts had done the work. How
ever, it was not believed that the
same men burglarlzed both busl-
ness houses.
The drug store operated by
Sterling Monroe was entered late
Saturday night, the burglars gain
ing access to the building through
a transom opening. Mr.. Monroe ex-
planned That the tranSOm glass had
been broken several days before,
and that a pasteboard had been
temporarily fitted in its place.
Signs had been placed on the
transom to disguise the pasteboard
covering.
A glass cutter had been used on
the glass panel in the front door
of the establishment before the
burglars discovered that the build
ing could be more easily entered
through the transom. Al quarter
circle pattern had been cut in the
glass near the latch, but the glass
had not been broken.
Destroyed Combination
Once in the building, the yeggs
knocked the combination off the
safe and juggled the tumblers until

phine and other narcotics, some old
coins and the small amount OF cash
that had not been deposited Satur-
day. They left through the rear
door.
At the meat shop, operated by
E. F.. Taylor, the burglars used a
wire to release a screen door hook
in the rear of the building. They
then turned the combination OF the
safe backward to the opening num-
Der and removed the cash and
checks.

Men who had been on relief for

"Thirty-five cents an hour" was

The unemployed held parley.
