State Brand Law
Effective Soon
Statute Authorizes Registration
Of Marks With State Instead
Of County

OLYMPIA, May 20 - Stock
raisers were warned today by DR..
Robert Prior, state supervisor Of
livestock, that the new brand law
passed by the 1885 legislature be-
ONES effective June ID.
All brands must be registered with
the state instead of with county
auditors, as in the past. After Sep
TENDER l, all brands must be regis
tered or ownership of them for
feited. The state brand book will be
issued by December 81, as provided
by law. Funds collected from brand
registrations will finance the print
ing.
Stockmen will be assigned their
brands on or shortly after Septem-
Der l, DR.. Prior said. Should two or
more want the same brand, the
award will be made according to
which has the largest herd and has
used the brand longest.
Instead of becoming a stockman's
property until eternity, under the
new law the brand must be renewed
or re-registered every five years.
Some counties have brands register
ed that have become extinct years
ago. Registration fees are So. Prior
estimated 1000 brands would be
entered in the state brand book.

New Plan Succeeds
Assessor Reveals
'Sef Assessment Receives Sup
port Of Rural Residents;
Reduces Costs

John F. Thorp, county assessor,
Monday revealed that the "self
assessment" plan which he recently
introduced into this county has re-
ceived marked support from the
county's rural residents, and that SO
per cent of the detail lists furnished
by his office have been filled out
and returned.
Under the plan rural property
owners list their own taxable items,
setting down the estimated assessed
valuation. The figures received by
Mr.. Thorp's office indicate that the
blanks have been accurately made
out and that every effort has been
made to cooperate with the pro-
gram.
The plan has reduced the assess
ment costs to a fraction of their
usual amount. Mr.. Thorp said that
the percentage figure for returned
forms likely will be higher because
some were sent to persons who have
left the county and no longer have
property here.

Named Chairman Of County
Council AT Organization Meet;
State Man Coming

w. G.. Malott, chairman of the
board of county commissioners. was
elected chairman of the newly
formed county planning council
when the members of the group
held an organization meeting We'd
nesday morning. The initial meet
ing was held at the courthouse In
Okanogan.
H. A. Davis, county prosecuting
attorney and member Of the
council, was chosen secretary. Due

ing secretary at the meeting.
R. w. Caldwell of Omak, named
to the council this week, was present
at the session attended by the men,
bers announced late last week by
Mr.. Malott.
Talks To Banker
To speed up tie machinery of the
organization, through which it is
expected most public work projects
contemplated in this county will
pass, Mr.. Malott telephoned a re-
quest to E. F.. Banker. director OF
the state department Of conserva-
ton and development and a member
of the state planning council, for
sets of the law covering the county
councils activities. Mr.. Banker said
this would be done and that a
speaker sent by the state board
would be sent here to meet with the
county members to explain in de-
tail their functions.
The planning councils organized
in counties over the state have as
their first object the inspection and
tentative approval Of work projects
to be financed by state or federal
funds, according to limited informa-
ton received by the board. This
is expected to reduce the delay
which has marked most public work
projects planned under the former
system.
The county board also will COOP
crate with the state and regional
planning councils, already function
ing.

FERRY'S GHOST
STALKS AGAIN
ATCOULEE DAM
Sam Seaton Sues MWAK For
1915; Says Gable Lost
Value
Sets Gravel Price
Damsite Pioneer Also In Tangle
With Government Over
100000 Figure

GRAND COULEE DAM-The
ghost of Sam Seaton's pioneer cable
ferry which piled the waters of the
Columbia river for years as the
only means of crossing the river
here, stalked again Monday.
The Mason w alsh- Atkinson -Kier
company was served with a sum-
mons to appear in Okanogan coun-
ty court in suit brought by Seaton
against the firm for the sum of
about 1915, which he states is due
him.
MWAK Used Cable
Seaton affirms 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 I'M
able to use it.
The east shore deadman was To-
Gated where the excavation pit now
is situated and the west shore sup
port would be amongst the busy
cofferdam area.
Seaton's home was also located
in the middle of the east shore pit
de lived here 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 S3,000,000 for gravel
deposits on his land on the Ok
anogan shore. The government Of
fered him less than $4,000.
Sues For Truck Rental
Another small suit against the
MWAK was brought by NJ r. Ne
vile, truck owner living in Ok
anogan county.
Neville asserts in summons
served the company yesterday after
noon that about $475 is due him
for use of a small truck. He was to
be paid Sc rental for each day the
firm used the truck. When the We
hicle was returned to him the spare
tire, worth $26, was missing, he
states. He declares the NlWAK has
refused to pay him.

New Law Gusts
Fish COLLECTORS
Anglers Can't Legally Use Salmon
Eggs To Lure Fish After
July l

Use of feed eggs or any and all
artificial or natural collectors" Of
fish will be prohibited on the fish
ing waters of this state after July
l, according to a regulation unan-
imously passed by the members of
the state game commission at their
recent session in Seattle.
Salmon eggs, corn and other feed
have been widely used in this coun-
ty by anglers "still" fishing on lakes.
After July 1 they will be illegal.
Dealers we're given until that date
to dispose of stocks and packers
will be notified that no new pack
based on this years catch will be
allowed.
At it's recent meeting the commits
sion went on record with a demand
that the bureau of fisheries take
care of interests of fishermen at
Grand Coulee dam. kilograms were
sent to Frank T. Bell, head OF the
bureau of fisheries, refusing mis-
proposal that the government spend
$4,000 ito replace game fish
through a hatchery at or near
Coulee DAM" The commission OPP
poses the bureaus proposal to take
over collection of eggs and their
Matching for sport fishing.
Thomas A. E. Lally, game commits
sion chairman, said the federal
bureaus plans to build a hatchery
at the dam would be a waste of
funds, insisting that fish cannot be
successfully transported in hot
country. The commission felt $780,
900 available for hatcheries and
rearing ponds in the state should be
turned over direct to the state for
development of water above the
dam.

"ROBERTA" AND OTHER HITS
BILLED AT DAM THEATRE

Roberta" headline musical
comedy of the year, and two other
highly entertaining pictures, come
week and next.
Music lovers will find rare treat
in 1.-THE Runaway Queen" the gay,
modern, romantic comedy which
brings Anna Neagle and Fernand
Graavey to the screen Thursday, for
the score retains many of the
charming melodies of the famous
Oscar Strous operetta, ''The Queen"
from which the film takes it's
theme.
The musical accompaniment of
the story, which tells in light,
satirical fashion, the adventures. Of
New York department store sales
girl who inherits the tottering
throne of a mythical kingdom, is
played by Roy Robertson the must
cal director of the film and his
orchestra.
Tonight the haunting theme
song of the film, written by Arthur
Schwartz, modern American COM
poser of note, is played in several
different tempos throughout the
story, and as sung by Trefor Jones,
makes a charming accompaniment
to the love scenes between the Run
away Queen" and. the handsome
young revolutionary into whose
arms she unwittingly runs.
Flanders
Some of the most colorful cos
tunes, settings and scenes of the
cinema year will be- found in "a
Dog of Flanders" film version of
"Ouida,s" famous novel, showing
Friday and Saturday.
The costumes are fashioned after
the colorful Flemish peasants
clothes for the poor and the middle
class farmers, even to the wooden
shoes. The richer people appear in
bizarre clothes approximating the
French clothes of 1912 to 1914.
The two houses, the boy hero
Nello's humble one, and the Cogez'
home, represent the Flemish pea
SAINT and we'll to-do farmers homes.
Both are bright and clean, but one
is poor mans thatched hut on a
small piece of ground, and the
other is large house built of plas-
ter resembling a city house.
Against this colorful background
of wooden shoes, quaint costumes
and settings, dog carts and rolling
green countrysides is woven this
dramatic and sometimes sorroWful
and sometimes humorous tale of the
boy of Flanders who strives to be-
come a great artist despite poverty
and other handicaps.
Roberta
The best in singing and dancing
in band music and in fashions is
said to be presented in Roberta,
CAV and tuneful musical romance
starring Irene Dunno, Fred Astaire
and Ginger Rogers.
This thrilling musical comes tc
the Mason City Theatre Sunday
Monday and Tuesday.
Miss Dunno sings several OF
Jerome Kerns finest musical hits
Astaire and Miss Rogers Introduce
spectacular new dance routlneS &c
the lifting tunes of other Kerns
hits. They also do some singing, a1lo
Astaire shows that his fingers are
as nimble as his feet by playing q
torrid piano number.
An all-Star dance band, recruited
from headliners of screen, air
stage and night club entertainers
performs under Astaire's leadership
And for eye appeal, as well as
tip to the discriminating feminine
shopper, a corps of the most beau
tiful girls in America model the
latest in fashions, from lingerie tx
luxurious furs and evening crowns.
