OLD-TIME QUESTION

DO gentlemen prefer blondes?
That question has probably been
the cause of many a controversy, but
in the case of lovely, luscious Mary
Carlisle there is no argument.
While she looks very sweet, there
is grim determination beneath those
golden tresses. If she weren't born
fighter, being half Irish and half
English, it's doubtful if she would
have gone far On the screen.
Recently she appeared in 9, very
difficult scene with no less a per-
sonage than Lionel Barrymore. 1t
seemed Mary couldn't remember her
lines and Mr.. Barrymore grew
annoyed.
Gle bawled' me out, good and
plenty" says Mary, merry
twinkle in her eyes But talked
right back at him and reminded
him of the days when ne couldn't
remember his lines"
And that seems to be a pretty
good character picture of the beau
tiful blonde Mary, who is AFRAID OF
nothing, is not heart-broken about
anything, enjoys her work on the
screen, and is going places in her
career.
Mary may be seen on the screen
of the Nespelem theatre Friday ano
Sunday, August and 4, in the SEN
sational story by Damon Runyon
million Dollar Ransom" in which
she plays the feminine lead opposite
Phillips Holmes. Edward Arnold Is
featured with them,

See Many Benefits
From River Boats
Proposed Line Will Not Have 10
Rely On Passengers For Rev
enue; Big Ore Field
(Snokesman-Reyiew)

GRAND COULEE DAM-The
proposed boat line between Wenat-
chez and the mouth of the San Poll
river will not have to depend on
passenger service alone for revenues.
The Nespelem country, for miles
around the Indian agency, abounds
in ores of many kinds, as does the
entire valley of the San Poll. Should
smelters or other processing plants
be built at the Grand Coulee dam,
on it's completion, huge barges would
undoubtedly be used to transport the
minerals TO the factories.
One Boat At Start
At the start, under the franchise
asked Ivy Captain Bruce Griggs, pio-
neer riverman, one boat would be
used, with the possibility OF con-
structing a smaller one to be used
above the dam.
Producers in the mining country
look toward more prosperous fu-
ture, and the possibility of many Old
mines opening up is quite good. Re
auctions in freight rates for the
hauling of the ore would mean that
some of the abandoned mines could
operate at a profit.

Suggest Highways
To Help Mining
Mine-T o-Market Routes Would
Develop Latent Mineral
Resources

OLYMPIA, July 2s--Development
of the huge, latent mineral resources
of washington through construc-
ton of nline-to market roads was
recommended today to E. F. Bank
err. state director of conservation
and development, by j.. D. Hull,
state supervisor of mineral survey
Hull found, after an extensive
study, that there were many unde-
veloped mineral deposits, or var
ious types, which could be worked
profitably if transportation were
available. In many cases short ex-
tensions of existing roads would
make possible movement OF equip
ment and ore. He believed many
roads could be paid for by setting
aside part of the receipts from the
developed mines.
Hull divided proposed roads into
three classes:
l. Those which will serve prop
critics of districts on which there is
sufficient information to justify a
definite recommendation for road
construction.
2. Those that will join existing
highways on the east and west sides
of the Cascades, passing through
districts known to contain valuable
mineral deposits.
8. Roads on which there is not yet
sufficient data to justify definite
recommendation.

Dam Site Schools
To Be Inspected
DR.. Showalter Will Visit Grand
Coulee Area This
Week

GRAND COULEE DAMN. D.
Showalter, state superintendent of
public instruction, was scheduled to
visit the dam site this week for an
inspection of Grand Coulee schools.
This will be DR.. ShoWalter's first
view of the project.
While here he will look into the
school situation. With school to be
resumed in less than two months
and more and more children coming
to the already over-crowded schools,
additions must be built to both the
Grand Coulee and Osborne build
ingS.
The Columbia Basin commission
at the dam site meeting and later
with Governor Clarence D. Martin
worked out plan where federal
funds could be used to build eight
rooms on the Grand Coulee school
and two on Osborne's.
No work or further notice about
the additions have been made
known here.

Morning
Much Damage Done

Home; Cow Killed And
Fences Smashed

The worst electric storm ever seen
here visited this locality Sunday
morning. The storm broke about z
O'Clock and for more than two
hours the lightning flashed and
struck continuously The roll OF the
thunder was deafenlng.
A bolt of lightning struck the
Columbia Joe home, about half
mile north of Nespelem, striking
Cecil, his daughter in the foot, burn
ing her foot and paralyzing her leg.
The bolt struck the stove in one
room and went through the parti-
ton demolishing the stove in the
adjoining room. 1t also tore up the

Duties OF Sheriff
Covers Wide ield;
Not AIl Serious

Things can be mighty serious IN
the county sheriff's office at times.
A major crime brings the minions
of the law out in full force, holster
flaps unfastened and guns ready
for instant use.
But that's just one angle Of the
sheriff's job. His office is a clear
ing house for neighborhood troubles,
backyard scraps and "off the rec
ord" problems that call for a diplo-
matte arbiter.
The other day three small tykes
two boys six and IL, and a girl
about six, tromped into the sherlff's
sanctuary at the county court
house, lips grimly compressed. Ad-
dressing himself to the Office
deputy, the oldest asked:
"Say, mister, is there ANY law
against shooting a kid with a BE
gun?" He explained that the KID
had threatened to burn down oru
clubhouse"
We've been dom a lot of work OF
it and the big bully is sore because
we won't let him join He said he't
burn it down sure, but though
maybe if I plunked him with Be
he'd leave us alone"
The deputy admitted that perhaps
such action would secure the desired
results, but advised strongly agains
it.
"Just send him up to me if he get!
fresh" he said seriously "We know
how to handle tough guys likt
that" The trio marched out con
| tented.
They missed the deputy broat
smile and his final remark:
IT wish they were all that easy!

ADDS $500, 900 TO TAX ROLLS
Buildings And Equipment On Ok
anogan County Side At Dam
Carry High Valuation
State Man Worked
Tax Commission Surveyed Prop
erty Costs For Assessor
And MWAK

Property of the Mason Walsh
Atkinson-K ier company located in
Okanogan county carries an
assessable valuation of close to
100000, it was revealed yesterday
by John F. Thorp county assessor
, Definite establishment of MWAK
values in this county hung fire for
several months, until the state tax
commission finally was called upon
to settle the issue. The valuations
were annunced following a survey
made by state tax commission
representative.
The valuations were set on a
percentage -of-cost basis recon-
mended by the commission at a
recent conference, and agreed 10 BY
Mr.. Thorp and MWAK officials.
Buildings Valuable
Buildings in Mason City, includ-
ing the scores of workers homes,
office quarters, garages, fire hall,
and other buildings, make up the
largest item, and are valued at
$236,41 for assessment purposes.
Construction equipment is next
with an assessed valuation of $112,-
878. Hotel equipment, recreation hall
equipment, mess hall equipment and
supplies, and equipment in the
AIWAK offices, garage, camps and
bunkhouses, carry a total assessed
valuation of $26,973.
NIL, 011.e,l ftNrr no
theatre equipment, laundry equip
ment, store equipment and fixtures,
and merchandise stock are listed at
$17,59O.

Under the agreement approved
by the assessor and NTWAfk repre-
sentatives, the company construc-
ton equipment will be assessed at
Is per cent of the actual cost, and
the buildings at 40 per cent 1of the

struction machinery accounted for
the fact that this type of property
will not bear the customary assess
ed valuation of SO per cent of the
actual value.
The report revealed that the
MWAK conveyors, one of the most
important pieces of equipment USED
in removing overburden from the
excavation area at the dam, will be
assessed on a $65,045 valuation, the
most valuable single item on the
Okanogan county side OF the river
at the dam

Guiding ALL MWAK property il
Okanogan county at the dam site
is 1881 ,210.

Former Plan Fails
Council Informed That Hook Up

The Nespelem town council was
recently informed in a communica-
ton from Washington, D. c., that
they would not be able to furnish
electric power to the Nespelem
town site from the government
plant on the Nespelem river, west
of the Agency.
Council members now have an
other plan which. they hope to
work out so that the town may have
lights and water very soon. 1t is
probable that diesel plant will be
put in locally that will supply light
