NESPELEM TO BE AFFECTED
BY EAST WEiyATCIIEE SUIT
Sue To Compel State To Pay
$3.50 Per Capita Population
From Gas Tax
Towns Want Share
Towns Incorporated Since 1880
Have Been Deprived Of
These Funds

OLYMPIA, Jan. 6.-Considerable
interest is being manifested In the
pending suit brought by the new
town of East Wenatchee to compel
the state auditor and treasurer to
allocate 81 SO per capita population
to the town from monies accruing
to the county of Douglas from the
3-cent gasoline tax fund.
Nespelem and Grand Coulee will
receive like benefits if East Wen
atchee is successful in it's suit.
Chapter III of the session laws
of the 1885 legislature provides that
each incorporated city and town
within the various counties Sha re-
ceive an amount equal to $1.50 per
person within such town, upon the
basis of the 1880 federal census,
such amount to be deducted from
the total monies allocated the
county within which such city or
town is located.
To date, State Auditor Cliff Ye,le
has certified distribut-ve amounts
only to such cities and towns as
were incorporated prior to the TAX
ing of the 1880 federal census. Cit
les and towns which have been in
corporated since that time are thus
deprived of participation in the
gas tax money and it is upon the
grounds of alleged discrimination
in the law that East Wenatchee,
one of several towns incorporated
since 1880, bases it's suit. Final
hearing on the matter will be made
by the state supreme court on jan
uary 10. Other towns to be affec-
ted in the acton include Grand
Coulee, Grant county; Nespelem,
Okanogan county; North Bonnie
vile, Skamania county, and Rock
Island. Chelan county.
In this connection, an interesting
situation exists IN that the state at
torney general has ruled that the
state liquor board shall distribute
liquor profits to all incorporated
cities and towns on the bass OF
their popu alton at the time of in
corporation, in cases wherein SUCH
cities and towns were incorporated
subsequent to the 1880 census. I'm
der this ruling all the above named
cities and towns will have partici-
pated in the 100000 melon cut by
the board this week. The law gov
erning the distribution of liquor
profits, like the gasoline tax mon
les, provides that the basis of dis
tribution shall be the 1880 federal
census. Should the supreme court
rule that the 1880 census shall gov
ern, the Liquor Control Board may
find itself presented with the prob
lem of securing a refund from sew
eral newly made towns of the state.

MARX BROTHERS PANIC
In NEW PICTURE

A monumental human document
flames anew as masterpiece of
screen entertainment. Dostoievsky's
soul-searing novel of human pas
sions is now truly great motion
picture, eagerly awaited in every
corner of the earth, rousing aud
ences-as it has millions of readers
to a fever pitch, leaving them
breathlessly excited.
Crime and Punishment" comes
to the Mason City theatre Friday
and Saturday with Edward Arnold
and Peter LORE in the leading
roles. It is the first time the i'm
mortal story has ever been brought
to the English-speaking screen.
Arnold takes the part of Inspec-
tor Porfiry; Peter LORE is seen as
Raskolnikov the murdered. Mar
ian Marsh portrays the character of
Sonya, the poor girl who helps Ras-
kolnikov find himself. Robert Allen
is his friend Dmitri; Mrs. Patrick
Campbell, the pawnbroker whom
Raskolnikov kills.
The story dwells on the causes
and effects of the murder and the
manner in which RaSkolnikOv is
finally apprehended for the crime.
He is a man of high intelligence
who sets about coldly and calculat-
ingly to commit the perfect crime.
But he does not figure on his con-
science, which, prodded by the In
spector, ultimately tricks him.
Marx Brothers
Those Merry Madcaps, the Marx
Brothers Chico and
Harpo-spent two years in prep
aration for the filming of their lat
est comedy, "a Night at the Opera, Z"
which comes Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday to the Mason City theatre.
Here is a picture that is not only
tops for the screamingly funny
comedy you would expect from the
Marx Brothers, but one that is
built around an intriguing plot, an
interesting story and some truly
brilliant singing by two Broadway
stage favorites, Kitty Carlisle and
Allan Jones.
The action romps along at a
SDTlRllUly pdCC 1lOuSllO, SARASO
and Harpo go into the grand opera
business in Italy, dash across the
Atlantic and stage an opera in
New York that has the city on its
ear.
1t is opera such as has never been
seen before, as the Marxes become
matchmakers to further the ro-
nance of two unknown opera sing
erS.
Original comedy, sparkling d'a-
logue, delightful opera and, OF
course, M-G-M's madmen, the
Marx Brothers, vie in the funniest,
most delightful funfest that has
come to the screen for some time.
Wednesday and Thursday, dou-
BILE bill, Escape From Devils Is
land" and Dressed to Thrill" gives
picture fans in this area an evening
of unusual entertainment.

Sportsmen's association met at Ok
anogan Saturday night, with a
representative group in attendance
Bernard T. McCauley, state game
director, and G. A. Stap,eton, mem
Der Of the State Game commits sion
spoke during the meeting.
Officers were elected for the COM
ing year including: DR.. G. A. Eber-
lein, Tonasket, president; Dr. A. G.

and o. H. Woody, Okanogan, secre-
tary.
Mr.. McCauley told of the activ-
tiles of the game directors office
for the past year, and Mr.. Staple
ton pledged his support and cooper
alton to the county game club.
Resolutions passed at the meeting
follow:
Resolutions
Whereas valuable data concern
ing deer numbers, and other mat
tiers of interest to sportsmen was
obtained last year as the result of
the deer count on the Colville ma
tional forest sponsored by the Co.
vile Deer Herd committee, and
Great benefit will in the opinion
of the Okanogan County Sports
mems club result from a continual
ton of this work, and
Whereas, owing to changed con-
ditions, the committee is finding it
difficult to finance this important
work this year,
Therefore be is resolved that the
Okanogan County Sportsmen's ub
request the State Game commission
to cooperate with the Colville Deer
Herd committee in financing tn S
deer count for 1886 and subsequent
years.
Whereas Okanogan county en-
braces a vast area of game cOun-
try which furnished about 30 per
cent of the bucks killed in Wash
ington during the past hunting
season, and
Sportsmen of the county feel the
adequate patroling of this area i'm
poses too great a burden upon two
game protectors,
Therefore be it resolved that the
Okanogan County Sportsmen's club
recommends to the State Game
commission the al otment Of a third
full time protector to Okanogan
county.
Whereas it is the understanding
of the Okanogan County Sports
mems club that funds have been
made available by the Works Pro-
gress administration for screening
irrigation bitches in the MethoW
valley, opening the way to save
vast quantities of fish each year,
Therefore be it resolved that the
Okanogan County Sportsmen's club
commends the Fisheries department
for it's interest in this matter.
Be it resolved by the Okanogar
County Sportsmen's club that ii
affiliate with the Washington State
Sportsmen's council, and name
representatives to serve it in the
meetings of that council.
Whereas the question of game
seasons is a moot and debatable
one. and whereas it seems to this
body that the results of the seasons
used last season will not be ap-
parent until next spring when the
fawn crop may be observed,
Therefore be 1t resolved that the
