DEMAND JUMPS
FOR AUTO TAGS;

Sale Hits Stride In This County
AS Old Year
Closes
Drivers Are Warned
Must Have New Plates On Now,
State Highway Patrolman
Says
Drivers Are Warned

Sale of automobile license plates
for Okanogan county passenger cars
passed the 1000 mark at the coun-
~ auditors office in Okanogan
Monday, but still were approximate
ly 100 short of the mark set at the
same time last year.
The total number of sets issued
up to 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
was 1882, the office reported. On
January l, 1884, the total had
reached LAC, about half of the es-
timated number of cars in the
county.
State Patrolman Wells, recently
stationed in this district, warned
yesterday that drivers will be al
lowed no time of grace in which to
secure their 1885 blue and-white
plates. A systematic check will be-
gin Wednesday, January 2, in an eff
tort to apprehend all motorists who
nave failed to provide their cars
with the proper license plates, he
declared.
In addition, truck operators must
see that their MIRA code authority
plates have been placed in position
ne said. All truck licenses are being
issued at the office of the state Ii
cense department. in Olympia, none
of the plates having been sent to
the county office for distribution.
While the December sale of IL
censes fell short of the total last
year, it is far above the figure for
1882 when only 200 sets had been
issued up to January l.

THREE STAGES ARE OUTLINED
FOR COLUMBIA RIVER DIVERSION

Biggest Jobs

GRAND COULEE DAM-Diyer-
sion of the Columbia river through
the agency of the cofferdams to per-
NIT closure of the Grand Coulee
dam is one of the most difficult
problems facing the builders Of the
big dam.
Makes tons
S. H. Woodland, consulting engi-
neer who visited the dam site from
October 10 to November 10 relative
to diverting the river for fcunda-
ton unwatering, has recommended
the diversion be handled in three
stages.
/. The first Golfer on the west
bank is to be built during the sea-
son Of 1934-35 and Will consist of
cells of steel sheet piling driven
into rock and filled with material
ON the excavation areas. It will
on.ine the river to it's present
channel during 1885.
2. The second Golfer on the east
bank will also be built during the
season Of 1934-35 if the present
schedule can be met, or if not, dur
ing the season of 1886. This cof-
fer will still confine the river to its
present channel during 1885.
3. The third Golfer is to consist OF
two rows Of cellular steel sheet pill
ing cribs driven across the channel,
one upstream and one downstream
from the dam. This will divert the
river during the season of 1887
through section of the dam on the
west bank left low for the purpose.
Closure is to be made after the
flood season of 1887.
One Cofferdam Underway
First work On the cofferdam on
the west shore began Nov. Is with
the construction of stone filled
cribbing for breakwater 20 feet
wide and to date Dec. las per re-
port) 145 feet into the stream. This
will also be used as a working space
to start erection of the Golfer. This
Golfer will consist of 60 cells made
OF sheet piling driven into rock and
$50 feet OF cutoff or line piling
supported by wood sheet and tim
Der framed cribs.
The total length of the cofferdam
up and downstream will be 1880
feet.
Two barges, 80 by rs by rs feet
deep and 81 by So by rs will be used
in driving the piling.

lodged in the Jail during 1892.
Records kept by Sheriff VIM. Gill
lespie and B. T. McCauley, former

rocketing increase in the number
of DRINKS taken into custody was
largely responsible for the upturn
in arrest figures.
The Jail register shows that 100
persons were arrested for being
drunk or drunk and disorderly in
the last year, So We're taken in for
the same cause in 1888, and only
Is in 1882.

compares with 148 in 1888 and q
total of los in 1892.

work have been installed.
Plans Second Feeder
A second feeder, located severa,
hundred yards north of the present
unit, will be placed in action az
workmen complete the hopper ano
supplement the feeder already or
the 1865 level. Tests were run Wed
neSday.
In the second unit a different
type of grating will be used. Unlike
the original feeder the rails which
make up the crater will be narrow
er at the base than at the top, max
ing it impossible for rocks lodged
below the surface of the rails tx
choke the grating.
The 25-yard belt that conveys ex.
cavated material from the shovel tx
the hoppers has been giving somt
difficulty as this type "buggie" has
never been tested on a job before
being designed especially fol
MWAK, but slight changes are ex.
pected to increase it's efficiency ane
speed up excavation.

LIYFOR HIGH COULEE DAM
SET SATURDAY AT WENATCHEE
Twenty-Eight Commercial Organ
izations Will Be Represented
AT Big Session
Irrigation Urged
Supporters Of High Dam Point
To Benefits Held By Reclaim
alton Of Arid Land

Representatives from tWenty-eight
Chambers of Commerce in North
Central Washington, including Spo-
kane and Seattle, will meet with
members of the legislature, and the
Columbia Basin commission in a
high dam rally in Wenatchee on
Saturday, January 5, it was an
nounced today by Ashley E. Holden,
executive secretary of the Columbia
River Development League.
Prominent speakers from all parts
of the state Will be present ITO join
in discussion of the Grand Coulee
project and the reclamation OF the
Columbia basin.
An increasing interest in this de-
velopment and in the demand for
a high dam at Grand Coulee, which
will open up for settlement more
than 100000 acres of fertile land
in the very heart of the state, has
been aroused since the construction
of the Grand Coulee dam began a
year ago.
Realization that this project is far
greater than the Boulder Dam and
that it is the greatest reclamation
program ever undertaken, has re-
suited in arousing the enthusiastic
support of all sections of the state,
and this meeting in Wenatchee is
designed to coordinate all agen-
cies working in behalf of the high
dam.
1t Is realized that unless the state
stands as unit solidly for the rec
lamation of the Columbia basin,
that it may be difficult to obtain
the necessary federal support to in
sure the construction of high dam,
without which not an acre of land
can be put under. irrigation.
