Form New District
For Mason City
Small Portion Of Nespelem
District Set Aside By County
Commissioners

A new school district was created
In OkanOgan county last week when
Mrs. Ella M. Watkins, county school
superintendent, set aside a small
portion of the Nespelem district, No.
IA, for one at Mason City.
Need for the new district was seen
in the fact that Nespelem at present
does not have adequate facilities to
handle Mason City students. The
community has encountered diff
culties in accommodating the heavily
increased number of students which
enrolled this term.
The new district was created af-
ter several conferences between Mes
plem school officials, the MWAK
company, and the county and state
departments of education.
Under the new arrangement the
MWAK company will operate tta
own school bearing the costs in
connection with it. The Mason City
district will not be assessed a regu-
lar school levy, although it will pay
county and state school taxes.
There will be no high school In the
new OlSCr1Ct.
A school with 100 pupils and
three teachers now is in operation
at Mason City.
Local opinion appears to be
strongly in favor of the formation
of the new district. It is felt locally
that this district could not afford q
bond issue to build school to &C.
commodate the extra number Of
children.
The area withdrawn includes only
Mason City, and does not take In
Elmerton or Koontzville or any
other private town site, or will not
take in any children living outside
the limits Of Mason City. These
children are all being brought to the
central school at Nespelem and this
service will continue.

COFFERDAM WORK IS STARTED
ON OKANOCAN COUNTY SIDE
Erection Of East Shore Structure
Put Underway AT Dam Site
For First Time
Built On Dry Land
Cofferdam On This Side Of River
Will Be Simpler To Put
Up Than First One

GRAND COULEE DAM-First
work for the second or east shore
cofferdam was evidenced here with
the starting of surveying by the
engineering staff of the MWAK.
Engineers were locating various
points necessary for the beginning
of work on the Okanogan county
bank. It was the first time that the
MWAK has been seen taking part
in any plans for the ultimate con-
struction of the Golfer.
Officials refused to say whether
or not construction on the east side
cofferdam would be started and If
so, when. The starting of engineer
ing work, however, was taken to
mean that the movement of equip
ment from the west Golfer to the
east shore 1oomed for the near
future.
Simpler Structure
The east shore structure will be
q much simpler affair than the
western Golfer, as it is to be built
entirely on dry land whereas much
of the opposite wall Of steel is To-
Gated In the Columbia river. Where
the Grant county bulwark is of
cell type along the shore, the east
will be only single wall affair
The east structure will have two
cell clusters as has the western
Golfer. These four blocks when
teamed together will form the four
corners of the midstream or closure
section of the dam. This mid-river
Golfer will be the largest in the
world, about 700 feet wide.
With the river starting its rise,
as of last years records. on about
March /, the company will have to
"step on it" to complete the east
shore Golfer as well as its initial
effort. In two months time the
river last year rose to 971.5 feet, a
rise of about SO feet.
The high water peak of 1884 was
on June 3, when the Columbia
assembled to 976. The river at pres
ent Is approximately $40.
Only about month and a half
Of average water level remains for
the construction Of the Golfer. The
west bank cofferdam was nearly
q complete wall Sunday, having
only gap at the upstream end and
one cell was missing in the down
stream sector.

ditional circuits were organized, three
in 1888, four in 1884 and three-the
Georgia Florida, the kitty" and the
Three-I Leagues-this year.

~LEVELAND, August 1o.-Fleet-

\ of several world field and
~ track records, prepared today
to go on the carpet" before an A. A
U. board and defend his amateur

to make him an honorary page. After
the adjournment. records Of the STATE
auditors office show. Owens received
s159 between June 9 and July 81.
why wouldn't turn professional,
Owens said last night and added an
expression of confidence that every
thing will turn out all right"
Dan Ferris, national secretary
treasurer of the A. A. u, said in dis
cussing Owens case informally that
the athletes standing as q non-profes-
sional would be jeopardiZed "if Owen,
did no actual work" in the Ohio State
Legislature and "if he was receiving
money on the basis Of his athletic
achievements"
Ferris said, however, owens status
would come first before the district
A. A. U. organization and that the
case would reach national headquar-
tiers only in the event Of an appeal.
Later, L. N. Bloom, president Of the
District A. A. u. organization, said he
would submit the matter to his ex-
scutive committee possibly today or TO-
morrow. "Of course, Owens will be
given a chance to present his side Of
the matter" Bloom said.
Larry Snyder, the athletes coach
at Ohio State, came to the defense Of
Owens status with an assertion that
"Jesse's work for the Legislature has
nothing to do with athletics"
IF the Ohio Legislature or the peo-
pie of Ohio want to pay Jesse as ar
honorary page, whether he works ol
not, that is no concern Of the A. A
