Grand Coulee Lake
Won't Alter Climate
U. S. Ceologist Says Moisture
From Huge Lake Will Not
Change Weather

GRAND COULEE DAM-"Will
the big lake to be created by the
placing of the Grand Coulee high
dam across the Columbia river a
lake many niles wide and hundreds
of feet deep and about $50 miles
long-change the climate in this
section of the country?"
This is question often asked by
those interested in the dam.
No one could answer it more au-
thoritatively than DR.. Charles Ber-
key, chief geologist of the U. S.
bureau of reclamation and his an
swer to it is:
TIE Tells The Answer
Emphatically, No!
Climate is big thing" DR..
Berkey said, mo little lake is going
to change it any"
He declared that the moisture
arising from the waters of the lake
would have almost no effect at all
on the climate. Many people have
been under the impression that
changes in vegetation could be ex-
pected as a result of the new lake.
IF you asked me to name the
percentage of change the lake will
have" DR.. Berkey said, I'D say,
One millionth of one per cent The
lake will be SO insignificant in con-
trast to climate that it's like plant
ing tree to make forest

eral Court; Mother-In-Law
Opposing Witness

Harry Nanamkin, charged with
granddaughter in connection with
the death last June of his wife,
Julia, was found guilty Monday
night at Spokane, according to word
received here.
The verdict was brought in at
$50 o'clock by the federal court
jury which heard the case, accord
ing to the report.
Nanamkin was placed on trial for
manslaughter in federal court in
Spokane last Wednesday. The grand
jury had indicted him for murder,
but Judge Webster ruled that the
Indictment did not show with
malice aforethought" and therefore
he could only be tried for man
slaughter, not murder.
Assistant District Attorney S. r.
Clegg, for the government, agreed
to continue the trial on the man
slaughter charge.
Nanamkin was charged with hav-
ing beaten his wife to death while
drunk near their home on Cache
creek, on the night of June 10.
Indians Attend Trial
Many Indians from Nespelem and
Keller attended the trial as witness

COUNTY AIDS
ROAD PROGRAM
MURROW TELLS
Will Assume Part Of Relief
Labor Cost To Help
Highway Plans
Plan Moving Ahead
Federal Funds Making Extensive
Work Possible; To Spend
Millions Soon

Okanogan county is one of 18
counties of the state which have
definitely offered to assist the state
highway departments highway pro-
gram, financed by federal relief
funds. according to a statement
issued at Olympia last week by
Lacey V. Murrow, state highway
director.
Cooperation of the counties hinges
on their willingness to assume from
one-fourth to one third of the total
relief-roll labor, to which the state
is obligated through it's $4,000, 100
federal relief fund highway and
grade crossing allotment.
Response ms General
1--WE have gratifying answers al
ready from 18 counties, and a
number of the larger Cities" Mr..
Murrow said 1.-THE counties are
coming in in fine shape, including
Pierce. There is no response of any
kind yet from King. They should
be able to help out quite bit.
Practically all the cities are indicat-
ing their intention to cooperate, for
which we are very thankful.
80 well has the plan BEEN re-
ceived of having the counties and
cities relieve the state of conSid-
cradle portion of its obligated relief
roll labor, that I believe the state
highway department. will be able to
go ahead with practically a normal
program of highway improvement
with the federal relief funds. This
will more fully meet the needs of
the state for the diff ierent types of
improvements, than if the depart
ment had to carry On with the full
obligation of relief-roll labor util-
ization required by government re-
Strictions.
Our highway program will move
along rapidly from now on. We
already have contracted for or call
ed bids on more than 100000 of
regular federal aid projects, under
the new funds available, and it is
safe to say we will get 100000 Of
work under way or under call with
in the next six months. This in
cludes state and federal funds, and
such work on the secondary Or
county roads for which we have the
letting, but does not include work
the cities and counties will do with
their Sc share of the SC gas tax
money"
Counties in the list Director Muir
row gave as having definitely offer
ed to assist in handling the relief
roll labor load include Adams
Benton, Columbia, Douglas, Gar
field, Grant, Island, jefferson,
Lewis, Okanogan, Pacific, Pend
Oreille, Pierce, Stevens, Thurston,
Whatcom and Yakima.
Also the large cities of Spokane,
Walla Walla, Seattle, Tacoma, Wen
atchee and Yakima.

BRITISH STAR FEATURED
IN NEW DEAL FILM

One Of the most wholesome and
enjoyable domestic plays ever
screened will be shown at the New
Deal theatre, Nespelem, when
There's Always Tomorrow" Is
shown here. In addition to featur-
ing Frank Morgan, the picture is
in that it brings Binnie
Barnes, celebrated British star, to
American audiences. The picture
deserves particular commentator
because of its wholesomeness and
light comedy, appealing to all fam
lily members.
PathOs And Comedy
With Mr.. Morgan as the father,
Lois Wilson as the mother and
Miss Barnes as the "other" woman,
There's Always Tomorrow is at
times humorous in its situations and
semi tragic at others. The five
children of the household discover
Morgan's interest in Miss Barnes
and their efforts to save their father
from the girl they believe to be a
vamp provide some of the most
rollicking scenes the screen has re-
vealed
Many Stars Appear
The picture introduces, besides
Miss Barnes, Louise Latimer in her
first picture since leaving the
stage, Elizabeth Young
who attained distinction with Carlo
in Queen Christina" Dick Winslow
and Helen Parrish, two of the child
rem of "Seed," Alan Hale, Maurice
Murphy and Margaret Hamilton.
The work of each is of stellar quail
ity.
