Dam Funds Cut
10 $@13,O0O,OOO

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Bent on
economizing and determined to
hold down large appropriations for
new construction the house appro-
priations committee, in Tuesday
reporting the interior department
Dill, cut the Grand Coulee appro.
priation to $4,000, 0OO-$1,OOO.-
900 less than asked by the budget
and $3,0O0,0 600 less than the rec
lamation bureau originally recon-
mended. There is every expecta-
ton that the house will follow the
recommendation of the appropria-
lions committee when it comes to
consider the bill Thursday.
In view of the insistent drive for
economy In both branches of con
gress. it is probable the Washing
ton senators will accept the figure
set by the house rather than fight
Tor a raise, and run the risk of
losing more than they gain.
mere are several reasons why
it might be dangerous to under
take TO increase the coulee appro-
priation to $4,000, 900, supported
by the budget estimate, or to $16.-
100000. which the reclamation
bureau desired. If the senate
should raise the amount, this item
would 80 ito conference, where
there would be q chance cee9
tracted fight that might
something less than $13,01v,vuU.
Moreover, long before the s13,-
100000 can be expended, congress
will again be in session. and if by
next winter 1t is found that s13,-
100000 will not keep the work
going at virtually full pace until
juno 80. additional funds could
then be asked In the deficiency
bill to be passed In January or

Vicinity Exploited
lin !, Radio Talk

Through the courtesy of the FL
deity Savings and Loan of Spo-
kane, H. P. Backus, representing
the Coulee City Chamber of Com
merces was able through the facil-
Titles Of station KHQ to give the
radio audience of the Inland EN-
pire a few facts about Coulee City.
The broadcast took place Wednes-
day afternoon at 1915 O'Clock.
Mr.. Backus' talk follows:
when irresistible forces of ma
ture carved out the Grand Coulee
$4,000 years ago, it was ordained
that some day there should be a
town at the site of Coulee City.
Here at the approximate center of
that weird gorge it's impressive
wallis sweep down to the level of
the Coulee floor and there Ia pro-
vided the only crossing in its fiji
tyItwo miles of length. McEntee's
Crossing, as it was known In ter
ritorial days, became a busy set
tlement and was named Coulee
City. Colorful st%agecoach days
soon yielded to the railroad, the
advent Of which caused the his
tolic railway rllckus of 1892. Riv.
al railroad gangs building towar,
the Coast, threw down their picks
and engaged i'll fisticuffs when a
race to reach coveted right uf-Way
near town resulted in a draw. On
through Crab Creek to the south
solved the problem. but not before
the town had enjoyed a llvelj
boom, to the accompaniment of
much herman excitement.
Okanogan Gold Attracts
Discovery of gold in the Okan-
ogan highlands drew many to Cou-
lee City, where they QUILTED be-
fore trekking north through the
coulee. Little did those miners
dream when crossing the Columbia
that some day it would be the site
of the worlds greatest man-made
structure, Grand Coulee dam. Not
many people today dream of the
wealth of mineral which power will
wrest from those same age-old
hills in the not distant future.
Gold of another kind-golden

for many years as the shipping |
center for the western Big Bend
