The happy couple were return

Promotes Tourist
Travel To Dam

League Sees Big Future in Tour

Ashley e. Holden, Secretary of the
Columbia River Development
League Sees Big Future in Tour
list Travel.
Ashley e. Holden, secretary of
the Columbia River Development
league, who was here Sunday con-
ferring with local business men,
made the prediction that tourists
visiting the Grand Coulee dam this
year will pay the first dividends on
the project. Mr.. Holden was on the
last lap of trip as far north as
Tonasket and east to Wilbur in the
interests of promotion of plans for
handling the tourist trade which
has already begun. With the clos
ing of school early next month he
expects to see such an influx of vi
sitors that it will tax the capacity
of existing accommodations to care
for them.
"At Grand Coulee work is being
rushed on new hotel especially
designed to cater to discriminating
tourists and the reclamation bur
eau is preparing to erect observa-
ton platforms at the vantage
points," Holden says. Frank A.
Banks, engineer in charge of the
project, has promised his coopera-
ton in furnishing adequate guides
to enable visitors to learn every de-
tail of the efgantic construction.
Long before dividends will be
available from the power general
ed by the dam, or from the land
which will be put in production
the annual revenue from the fliw
OF tourist travel to the nroiect will
be major factor in adding to the
wealth of the state. The accessible
ity of Grand Coulee should result
TN more tourists going there thar
are attracted to Boulder dam,
Holden declared.

SeatOn.-Truck Driver Also
Seeks Money

Grand Coulee Dam, May 90
The ghost of Sam Seaton's pion-
eer cable ferry which piled the wa
tiers OF the Columbia river for
years as the only means of CROSS
ing the river here, stalked again
yesterday.
The Mason Walsh Atkinson
Kier company was served with
summons to appear In Okanogan
county court in a suit brought by
Seaton against the firm for the
sum of about $875, which he says
is due him.
Seaton af11rms that about 1000
feet of cable used to hold the old
ferry In place, and stretched from
the deadman on the east shore to
the west side, was torn down and
used by the firm and is now in
such a condition that he. Seaton.
is unable to use It,
The east shore deadman was To-
Gated where the excavation pit is
now situated and the west shore
support would be amongst the busy
cofferdam area.
Seaton's home was also located
IN the middle of the east shore pit.
He lived there for about Is years
with his wife and children until
the land was condemned by the U.
S. Bureau of Reclamation. Seaton
is now asking for 100000 for
gravel deposits on his land on the
Okanogan shore. The government
offered him less than $4,000.
Another small suit against the
MWAK was brought by N. r. New
lille. truck owner living in Okano
gan county.
Neville asserts In a summons
served the company yesterday af-
ternoon that about $475 is due
him for use of small truck. He
was to be paid Sc rental for each
day the firm used the truck.
When the vehicle was returned to
him the spare tire. worth s26. was
missing. he states. He declares the
MWAK has refused to pay him.

Operating In Rural Better Hous-
: ing Program

Washington, D. c., May 20
Production Credit Associations
in regions as far apart as South
Carolina, California and Wisconsin
are showing interest in the rura
better housing program and are
cooperating in the extension OF
modernization credit to farmers
the Federal Housing Administers
zion announced today.
Credit is being extended accord
ing to the regulations of the assoc
iations, it was stated, which differ
in several respects from the SINH
lar financial service offered by
commercial banks and other finan-
cial institutions approved by the
Federal housing Administrations.
For instance, the production
credit associations can extend cred
it for modernization only for i'm
provements upon buildings. This
advance of cash can be for a per-
iod of not longer than 10 months
although there can be an under
standing of renewal for a similar
period at the expiration of the first
10 montsh. In addition to the insuI
ance. collateral security such as a
chattel mortgage usually is requir-
ed.
Nearly 400 out of 562 product
ion credit associations have signed
the contract of insurance with the
Federal Housing Administration
under which they can offer mod
ernization credit.
In South Carolina, Ernest Ora
ham, president of the Production
Credit Corporation of Colum bia,
has issued a bulletin to all the
Production Credit Associations in
the four states of his district, call
ing attention to the desire of the
corporation to have allassociations
cooperate to the fullest extent.

in this bulletin, "that you under

AS result of the special school
election held in the Rim Rock

1t is hoped that another election
will be called there in the near
