Job Total Down
AtCoulee Project
Employment Rate Expected To
Decline For Several Weeks
Peak Last Week

GRAND COULEE DAM - The
peak of employment at Coulee dam
for the year 1885 is believed to have
been reached, last week, employment
figures released by the U. s. bureau
of reclamation for the present
seven day period indicated.
The employment total this week
dropped from $3.50 to 1919 with a
gradual decline expecting to be
continued for the next few weeks
at least. The MWAK payroll which
hit the skyrocket high a week ago
of 1888 dropped this week.
With the west cofferdam work
having reached its peak and prob
ably now going down hill, no in
crease can be looked for until late
summer or fall when the first of
concrete placing operations or .,re-
parations therefore may be started.
The totals for the week are:
American Builders, Inc, 81;
MWAK, 1881; Mcdonald Gum
mere, SIS; National Construction Co.,
S; David H. Ryan, no; Western
Construction Co., 100; Howard B.
Wright, g.; Stndard Asphalt Co., g.;
force account USBB, 80; USBE
engineering force, approximately
$50.
The congestion at the payroll
windows of the MWAK field office
and in the vicinity has become so
great from 2:30 Friday until about
p. m. that it has been necessary
to station a policeman to direct cars
into the proper parking places.
Long lines form at each of the
windows and the Spokane and East
ern Trust Co. bank is likewise fill
ed to capacity.

BAR LIQUOR
FROM INDIANS
DESPITE LAW
Repeal of State Statutes Prohibit
ing Sale To Tribesmen Is
Empty Move
II. S. Laws Effective
Still Make It Illegal To Sell
Booze To Ward
Indians

Enactment at Olympia of a new
law repeating former state laws
which have prohibited the sale of
liquor to Indians does not mean that
U. S. laws banning the sale to ward
Indians have been set aside, Harvey
K. Meyer, superintendent of the
Colville Indian reservation, states.
Under the federal statutes sale of
liquor to ward Indians is expressly
forbidden. The state legislature,
however, passed law, signed Tues
day by Governor Martin, which re-
peals an old law prohibiting the sale
to tribesmen, giving Indians, SO far
as the state is concerned, the priv
ilege of buying liquor in Washing
ton.
An emergency clause, making the
measure effective upon being signed
by the governor, was tackled on the
act after the bills sponsors had
pointed out that Indians had been
deprived of legal liquor "for more
than 800 years"
Passage of the state law indicates
that the cooperation of the state
authorities in enforcing laws pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor to In
dams will be Withdrawn" Mr.. Mey-
er said. 1--WE are awaiting an inter-
probation of the law from the fed
eral Indian office"
A similar question arose in the
spring of 1888 when congress passed
laws permitting the manufacture
and sale of 80 per cent beer. Al
though the law authorized sale OF
such beer and. wines to whites, it, did
not repeal former laws prohibi ting
the sale of alcoholic beverages to
Indians.
At that time Harold L. Ickes,
secretary of the interior, explained
that special Indian laws drawn many
years ago by congress have "spec-
ifically forbidden the introduction
into Indian country, or sale to ward
Indians, Of beer, ale, wine, etc.,
without naming any particular al
coholic content, and it has been
the uniform policy for a long per
iod of years to exclude all such
articles from Indian reservations"
Mr.. Ickes ordered that "beer, lag
er beer, ale, porter, wine, etc." shall
not be introduced into, or sold or
possessed within, any existing In
dian reservation, or any Indian al
lotment held in trust or under re-
strictions against alienation, or
within any area in which the intro
duction of intoxicants in the Indian
country is forbidden, until otherwise
provided by congress"

PARIS, September 23.-Premier
Pierre Laval returned to Geneva today,
determined that the League of Nations
must press on in its search for a

Persons close to the premier said he
welcomed the British government S

listen to plans to give him peaceful
control of Ethiopia.
At the same time, Britain's naval
display was given much Of the credit
by French officials for II Duces more
conciliatory tone.
"Mussolini is beginning to realize
that it would be suicidal to buck the
whole League of Nations" one French
official said.
while he might lose some prestige
in calling off the war, it would be bet
