GRAND COULEE AREA
FOR LOCATION OF BIG LAKE
United States Reclamation Off.
Gals Study Sites For Two
Dams
Expect Action Soon
Dams Would Be Built Near Grand
Coulee And Coulee City,
Officials Reveal

GRAND COULEE DAM-Indica-
ting that the federal government Is
anticipating the possible early con-
struction of the Grand Coulee into
reservoir for the irrigation OF the
valuable Columbia Basin lands be-
low it, the consulting board Of the
United States bureau of reclamation
has been inspecting sites for the
construction of the two dams In the
coulee.
Study Dam Sites
Frank A. Banks, construction en-
gineer, said that the board. which

ing no study of irrigation problems
which will arise in connection with
the proposed high dam, but that the
board was studying the coulee for
possible sites of the two dams which
Will create natural reservoir out
of the giant coulee.
Although no definite plans have
been laid, one blockade will be built
near Grand Coulee and another
near Coulee City Both will probably
be of earth-fill construction, the
lower dam costing considerable more
than the upper dam as the coulee Is
wider at that point. Neither dam Is
expected to be more than 100 feet
high.
DR.. Charles P. Berkey, chief &C.
ologist Of the bureau from Colum-
bia University in New York, care
fully examined the quality OF the
coulee walls and floor with an eye
to the strength Of the abutments
and possible seepage underneath
the obstruction after the water Il
pumped into the, reservoir.
Slide Area Examined
The troublesome slide is also up
for considerable discussion, Banks
said. Even though the highway
and railway is now nearly COM
pleted across the slipping mass,
Banks said the board was stu
studying its action with an eye to
the future.
Those attending the important
meeting were Charles H. Paul,

Farmers who settle the Columbia
Basin when the Grand Coulee re-
clamation project is completed will
pay $3.50 in total annual charges per
acre, according to figures released
by James O'Sullivan, secretary OF
the Columbia Basin commission.
Mr.. O,Sullivan's estimate includes
1919, set as the cost of annual
maintenance per acre, including 81

formation included in the survey OF
estimates follows:
10000 Farms

when the project is completed, and
the Northwest's taxable wealth will
be increased 100000, 600.
Products produced in the Column
bia Basin ultimately will cost con-
sumers $40, 735, 400 annually, accord
ing to an army estimate. They also
predict that 100000 carloads OF
foodstuffs and manufactured arti-
cles will be required annually by
the projects population from other

Pea Crop Good
On County Land
Commercial Planting Proving
Conditions Are Right; Line
Up Lettuce Growers

Okanogan county'S first venture
into pea production on CONNER
cial scale seemed destined to prove
that conditions here are favorable
for this product, it is indicated by
information secured by Vernon
Chapman, county agricultural agent,
and A. G. Mepper, superintendent of
a large cannery at Ellensburg.
Last week the two men inspected
four of the county's six initial pea
tracts, located in the northeastern
section of the country. Mr.. Chap
man said Tuesday that one plot
was coming into bloom, and that
good yields may be expected If
sufficient moisture is given at bios
som time.
This year % acres of peas were
planted in an effort to secure de-
finite experimental data. Success
this year undoubtedly will result in
heavier planting next season.
Planters whose plots were inspec-
ted Wednesday included Pete Sneve
and Carl Rounds, in the Nelson dis
trict, and E. w. Kloth and J. A..
Duchow, in the Havillah section.
Others who have planted pea acre
age are Joseph Gregory, Wauconda,
and B. j. Battle, Twisp.
Mr.. Chapman also announced
yesterday that definite plans have
been made for the planting of at
least ~ acres of head lettuce be-
tween Brewster and Riverside, and
that soil Is new being prepared in
many plots.
Lettuce paintings will begin be-
tween July Is and 20, he said. Mr..
Chapman stated that farmers who
last year planted lettuce are plan
ming to go into the project on a
larger scale this season. He said that
he is anxious to hear from others
who are interested in the project.

merit.

Vivid and colorful, the film Is a
genuinely believable story OF

John Buckler, and his first officer,
Ralph Bellamy, are both in love
with Lovely Ann Sothern, who por-
trays the daughter of the owner OF

When the vessel runs into a ty-
phoon, the captain shows his in
competence and cowardice, which

of sixty men. With the captain
frightened and of no use, the first
officer takes command.
Only by force of will and un-
daunted courage, does the first Of

there, however, but continues on to
q satisfying and powerful ending.

Planning Council
Learns Functions
State Council Engineer Explains
Work At Groups Second
Meeting

Functions of the new county plan
ming council, and the processes by
which it operates, were explained tc
members of the newly formed board
at an organization meeting held at
the courthouse in Okanogan last
week by P. Hetherton, re-
search engineer, State Planning
Council, Olympia.
County planning groups, Mr..
Hetherton told the members, serve
chiefly in an advisory and consult
ing position with the members Of
the board of county commissioners
1t it their purpose to assist the
county in securing desirable public
works projects through the proper
federal and state sources, and to
consider problems associated with
the projects, he said.
Because the planning boards are
not elective, their work may include
problems which political office hold
ers might avoid through fear of
agitating certain groups Of voters
against them. The council members
may not be removed except when
neglect is proved. Even then, MI
Hetherton stated, public hearing
must be held before the member
may be removed from his position.
The county council will meet once
month for nine months, as re-
quired under the new law providing
for it's organization.
Mr.. Hetherton, who left Yesterday
afternoon for Republic, where he
will organize a Ferry county plan
ming council, stated that nine
councils have been orga nized thus
far in the state, including those OF
Okanogan and Ferry counties.
Members who met at yesterday
session included w. G.. Malott,
county commissioners head, council
chairman; r. Harris, acting secre-
tary, r. w. Caldwell and r. L. Nc
Nett, Omak; P. T. Harris, Okano-
gan, superintendent of the Chelan
national forest; B. j. Woodland
winthrop; r. A. Downing, Brew
ster, and F. F. Corporon, Oroville
H. A. Davis, secretary, and Arthur
Lund were not present at tie meet

NEW DEAL SCHEDULES
CHARLES DICKENS STORY

Great Expectations" comes to tho
screen of the New Deal theatre Fri
day and Sunday.
With the real Dickens flavor UNI
touched, right out of the pages Of
one of the most human, absorbing
and dramatic novels conceived by
this greatest of English novelists.
The story Of Great Expectations"
will never grow old. It Is as faScin-
ating and thrilling today as It was
when Dickens wrote it, almost Q
hundred years ago, in his beloved
house at Gadshill.
The story is full of descriptions Of
the countryside surrounding his
h-me, of the Kentish lanes he loved
SO well; but it is also vivid with
scenes of the London of his day. for
Dickens was great cosmopolitan
figure and could write Of that great
clCy and it's people with more under
standing than any other writer has
been able to do.
Lilly And Swan" Come To Life
One of the most interesting
scenes in "Great, Expectations" is
the Cheapside Inn, Lilly and the
Swan" The various signs on 1t,
such as Coffee Room" Coach
Office" etc., were faithfully copied
from books such as Cruikskanks'
Days OF Dickens" and actual places
in which Charles Dickens himself
stayed.
The inn itself is OF the hotel var
iety and Is not to be confused with
the common English pub" The
Coffee Room in such inns was
always the rendezvous of the better
class. Quite often the post office
was part of the inn, as was also the
booking office for coaches in those
days.
A cast of unusual merit interpret
the well-known characters Of
Great Expectations" Henry Hull,
Florence Reed, Phillips Holmes and
Jane Wyatt.
The Nespelem tribune. [volume] (Nespelem, Wash.) 1934-1936, 1935-06-19

terest in the mystery is largely due
to her romantic interest in the
Suave Powell.
Other characters involved in the
sWift-moving events that stir
society, the stage and the police
headquarters are a scandalmonger
columnist, shot to death early in the
action, a butler who is wise in the
ways of the -Four Hundred" police
inspectors, lawyer and his wife, a
gangster chief and young society
man who is in love with a girl who
has disappeared under strange cir
cumStances.
"Mr. Dynamite
Among contemporary murder
mystery authors there is none more
prolific than Dashiell Hammett,
whose Thin Mann scored such in
Stantaneous success as a novel and
on the screen. Now comes a brand
new Hammett mystery, "Mr. Dyna-
mite" which may be seen Friday
and Saturday with Edmund Lowe in
the starring title role.
The plot Of MIR. Dynamite" Is so
intricately woven and with such
clever skill, it will BATTLE some Of the
keeneSt minds. No less than three
murders are committed within a
fortnight in the city of San Fran
cisco, right under the noses of some
of the most famous sleuths in the
world. The police are at their wits
end and admit they can find no
solution. Then someone sends for
"Mr. Dynamite" an extremely
cunning detective, and he begins to
unravel the mystery in such a way
as will prove astonishing to the
audience.

BOGUS MONEY AT
SANBORN FESTIVAL
Evidently Brought In BY
COncessi0naires Water
Melon Day

After Sanborn people began
checking up on receipts from
Watermelon day held there recent
ly, several bogus one dollar bills
were detected. The Sanborn bank
Immediately notified federal au-
thorities at st. Paul who issued a
general warning to be on the
lookout for the fake green backs.
At least Ia bills passed in San
born that day were found to be
counterfeit and it is believed that
there were more which were not
observed.
To the casual observer the bill
might appear to be genuine, but
upon close inspection and compar-
ison with genuine dollar bill. the
difference can readily be seen. The
printing on both sides is much
more crude, with details hardly
discernable. The real mark of
distinction from the genuine is the
absence of the silk threads which
are woven in genuine u. S. money.
A man who attempted to depos-
it one of the bills, was apprehend-
ed in st. Paul several days follow
ing the celebration but was later
released after explaining that he
did not know the money was bo-
gus and had evidently been hand
ed to him in change while attend
ing Watermelon day celebration.
Some of the bills also were passed
at New Ulm and Springfield.
