Team
Will Play Creston
Opponents Will Come Here Sat
urday For Tilt With
Savages

The Nespelem baseball team split
pair of games played over the
week END, winning from Keller 10
to 4 Sunday on the local field, but
losing a hard-fought game to Al
mira, to 6, played on the Almira
diamond.
The Almira team showed surpris-
ing improvement since it's previous

Fridays game the local infield was
slow in covering ground balls.
Williams and Picard served on the
mound for the Nespelem nine, with
Picard behind the plate. Nespelem
secured three runs in the first in
ming, two in the third and one in
the sixth.
Keller led the way for five innings,
bringing in three runs in the first
frame following a homer slammed
out by B. Dice, the Keller lead-off
man. In the last four innings the
Nespelem batters found the Keller
pitcher for nine runs. Williams
and Davis pitched for the Savages,
with Tatshama receiving.
The next game will be played on
the local field with Creston Satur-
day, May 18. A good game is ex-
pected.

Dam Funds
Assured By Ickes
Secretary Of Interior Says $780,
100000 Due Project From
Relief Fund

Interest in the Grand Coulee high
dam reached new high point Sat-
urday when news releases from
Washington, D. O., revealed that
Secretary Ickes of the interior de-
partment definitely is planning an
ALLEGATION of approximately $70,000,-
900 from the new $4,8O0,OOO, 900 re-
lief fund.
A wire report quoted Congress
man Sam B. Hill as saying that he
had been personally informed by
Secretary Ickes that funds for the
completion of the dam will be
allocated.
Another release affirmed that
conditions and circumstances in
dictated that the MWAK, builders Of
the Grand Coulee dam and the
reclamation bureau have been I'M
officially advised to go forward with
the high dam and 1,20O,000,0O0 acre
reclamation project"
Change C0fferdam
The assertion was based on the
fact that the cofferdam plans have
been changed to make the high dam
construction possible, that housing
facilities at the site are being pro-
vided to care for more workers than
would be needed for the low dam,
and that surveys which would not
be needed if the high dam were not
to be built are being pushed.
The visible indications on the
project of the high dam are found
chiefly in the engineers townsite,
where the reclamation bureau first
planned the construction of only 50
dwellings. The bureau is now
planning 81 additional courts, each
court to consist of three apart
ments. Persons on the project state
frankly that the additional 81
courts are not necessary unless the
high dam is authorized.

"A study of the wheat situation

DAM BUILDERS
SMASH RECORDS
INDIRT MOVING
Set New Marks In Speed Of Ex-
cavation At Big
Project
Work Fast In April
Contractors Moved 100000 Gu
bic Yards of Overburden
During Month

GRAND COULEE DAM-Engin-
GERS, supervisors, crew foreman and
the workers themselves employed by
the Mason Walsh Atkinson Kier
company are busy building a dam
here, but they are doing it with a
speed that is smashing records and
setting new ones. Officials claim
that nowhere may be found such
amazing accomplishments as those
Of the MWAK, central contractors.
The latest speed record set by the
big contracting firm is the excavat-
ing of 1,5OO, 900 cubic yards of over
burden during the month of April,
according to the monthly progress
report of the company issued this
month.
No where in this wide world can
contractor boast of such a record,
according to high dam site officials.
Total Yardage Unknown
If the present rate of speed can
be continued by the end of August
most of the west side overburden
will have been removed. The exact
amount Of earth to be excavated
can only be guessed at present as
the various slides of recent date
raised the original estimate of 9,000,-
go yards for the west side. Changes
of slope have also added to the
anticipated total.
The single wall of sheet piling
connecting the two cell-clusters of
the main cofferdam is still being
driven down. It is in between the
cofferdam and this single wall that
the first excavation to bedrock will
take place.
First Concrete
After bedrock has been reached
and cleaned, the first two sections
of concrete will be placed the.e.
After these first two blocks OF con-
crete are in place the company will
use these as a starting point to
which to add more and more con-
crete until the whole structure on
the west side is built.
The company is at present at
work designing the concrete distri-
button and manufacturing system.
This set-up will be the biggest of it's
kind in the world but definite
plans cannot be announced at pre-
sent according to MWAK.

Agent Explains
New Brand Law
Must Be Recorded Before Sep
TENDER l To Be Valid,
Chapman Tells

Many requests for further in
formation concerning the new
Washington state brand law have
been received by Vernon Chapman,
county agricultural agent. Because
of it's sweeping Importance in this
county, Mr.. Chapman has issued the
following statement concerning the
laws provisions:
1.-THE law provided that before
September 1 this year all brands
used in the state must be recorded
with the state department of agri-
culture at Olympia if they are to be
considered legal brands. At that
time various county brands cease
to exist and even though your
brand be recorded by the auditor
or sheriff of Okanogan county your
brand will not be legal unless
recorded by the state. have ap-
plication blanks at my office at
Okanogan or you can get them from
the officials of the county aSsocia-
ton or by writing to the state de-
partment of agriculture at Olym-
pia.
May Get Same Brands
"Of course you will want to get
the same brand which you are US
ing at the present time, but in the
shuttle of recording brands from
the entire state you might not get
your brand. However, I would feel
that the Okanogan county producers
who have had their brands record
ed for a number of years will have
a good chance to get them under
this state set-up. According to the
law the brand is recorded accord
ing to design and also position on
the animal. The county Law pro-
vided that only one brand Of a GER
tain design could be recorded re-
CARELESS Of it's position on the animal
but the state law provides that the
position becomes a recorded part of
the brand and that different in
dividuals may use the same brand
on different parts of the animal.
The law provides that a So fee
