NEW YORK. August 25.-The stock
market CROPPED for further recovery
today and found its principal stim-
ulation in the strength Of steels,
amusements and sugars which pushed
up fractions to or more points.
Elsewhere trends we're rather in
definite, with the motors, utilities,
rails, aircrafts and oils marking time.
The close was steady. Transfers were
around $50, 900 shares.
The market had plenty Of bullish
ammunition in the way of business
and industrial developments, but
traders were a bit more careful than
ordinarily in the matter of expanding
commitments.
Sentiment was aided by the an
nouncement Of the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics that industrial employment
between June and July recorded an
increase contrary to the usual Md
summer decline.

DATE IS SET
FOR BENEFIT

Christmas might, Friday. De-
cember rs, is the date set for the
big Fireman's Benefit Ball. Pro-
ceeds of the affair will go to the
local fire department to be used
for purchasing equipment. The
dance will be held in Gregg hall.
The Chamber of Commerce COM
mGtee in charge of arrangements
contemplate an advance ticket
sale, so local people are requested
and urged to be prepared to fork
over their dollars for this very
worthy cause.
The fire Department. has saved
a good many dollars worth of
property in Coulee City and is
probably the most important or
ganization in town. Theirs is an
unpleasant task, to say the least,
and everybody should feel it his
or her obligation to give them un-
stinted support and buy tickets
regardless of whether or not they
care to attend the dance.
Door prizes and other special
features will be highlights of the
ball next Friday evening.

DEPICTS POINTS
OF INTEREST

In the lower Grand Coulee Is To-
Gated ono of the most interesting
features In a scenic and geological
way Of any thing in the entire
Grand Coulee region. 1t is known
as the "Great Blade. Many local
people have no doubt missed seeing
this, and most all travellers and
tourists miss 1t entirely.
Three years ago when the Inter-
national Geographical Congress Wis
tied the Grand Coulee we had to
take them on a hot day in August
to the summit OF the high bluffs
to the west Of Lake Lenore and
then walk TO the brink of the wall
to get the view OF the great blade
and the two coulees running paral.
lei ito each other. This is one fine
point to see what has taken place
and the other would be to climb
the wall just over the road way,
as you drive along the edge of
Lake Lenore just after you cross
the big island and make The curve
along the shore line and the fopt
of the talus point south towards
Soap Lake from Coulee City. Here
is situation that has caused con-
siderable discussion among geolo!-
gists as to how 1t happened, one
theory ia that 1t was contempore-
Gus with high peak In the great
flood, and produced the effect.
The writer is inclined to the
first view, for the field evidence
seems to strongly indicate that
both channel ways functioned the
same time and as the irloodsubsi-
ded what is now the main Coulee
took care Of all the water coming
down over Dry Falls. lesving the
other high and dry the same az
the Falls themselves are LETT today.
The coulee wall along the shore
of Lake Lenore for some three or
four miles appears like all other
coulee walls, but II you go where
1t can be seen as above indicated
you will that the apparent massive
wall 10 only a narrow blade several
miles long and dividing this paral-
lei coulee from the main Grand
Coulee. the floor Of which coulee
corresponds to the level Of the
high bench that extends the entire
length OF Lake Lenore on the west
side. This part Of the abutment of
the west wall does not seem to be
affected by the coulee monacline.
These are outstanding features
Of the region ant have caused a
great deal Of discussion to lovers
