Arrangements for the annual list
ing of taxes was the chief matter of
business before the Vance Board of
County Commissioners at their month

Much of the morning session was
taken up in receiving petitioners who
came before the body about matters
in which they were interested, and
the matter of arranging for list-tak
ers was set for later in the day.
Heretofore the board has named a
tax supervisor, who was asked to
nominate list-takers for the nine
townships, which were later confirm
ed by the board.
Three or four applications were on
file for the job of listakers for Hen

March Term
Court Here
Is Started
Judge E. H. Gran
mer Presiding, Soil
citor Burgwyn Is
Prosecuting Docket

Judge E. H. Cramner, of Southport,
opened the regular two weeks March
term of Vance Superior Court here to-
day, with Solicitor w. H. S. Burgwyn,
of Northampton county, prosecuting
the criminal docket.
In view OF the fact that the per
manent" six months grand jury
chosen at the January term of court
is still in office, no formal charge was
delivered by Judge Cranmer at the
opening of the court. The judge did,
however, express his qualification at
being again in Vance county, and
pledged his full cooperation to the
Jury in it's work H. A. WOodlief, OF
Kittrell, is foreman Of the grand jury.
The first week is for trial of GRIM
inal actions, only, and the docket is
a very light one, and is expected to
be completed by the middle of the
week, permitting adjournment of the
session
The second week of the session,
starting next Monday, will be for the
trial of civil actions only, and, while
the docket is rather cOngested most
of the cases set for hearing are of
comparatively minor Importance.
Some 20-odd divorces are on the
docket for the first day, slightly less
than is usually the case.
Business awaiting disposition dur
ing the civil term is sufficient to Oc-
cupy the court for the entire week,
it is thought.

COULEE DAM SOON
THREE YEARS OLD

In about two weeks. September 8,
to be exact. the Grand Coulee dam
will be three years old.
On that day three years ago. five
men were drenched in the rain al
they stood amidst the sagebrush on
the slopes of the Columbia river drive
ing simple. red-lettered piece Of fir
board into the muddy soil. It was
the first stake for the dam. The bu-
reau of reclamation engineers present
on that inauspicious but memorable
lday were Fred Berry, Harold ShaSrers
Clarence (Baldy) Cole. AL 1Thcfn&s
and G. Rossman.
Much has happened there since that
day when the only moving objects
were Pioneer Sam Seaton, his chick
ems and cows and his dilapidated fer
ry. Since then $4,000 people have
moved here. more than 100000 yards
of concrete has been poured and con-
struction jobs galore finished.
Few can remember back even to the
dam first anniversary. In Septem-
Der, 1884, the MWAK was awaiting
the "go-ahead" order, the first
houses in Mason City were taking
shape, the first street lights in Grand
Coulee were turned on. the first school,
house was being completed. About 81
600 persons lived there, the phone Of
flee was completed, sidewalks were be-
ing built, the first houses in the engin-
GERS town were arising, the first tres
tie bridge, now gone, was being driv-
en-, the east caisson for the highway
bridge was being sunk and Sam Seat
on IS ferry was working it's last days.
A year ago, the projects second
birthday, Grand Coulee was fighting
for and against incorporation. The
boring of the tunnel drainage system
of the slide was being finished, the
highway bridge was being opened, con-
struction of the west mix plant was
being started, the high suspension
bridge was being connected, the east
cofferdam work was beginning and the
gravel pit land was being condemned.
The third anniversary has another
story, visible to everyone.
