5000 People Head for the Hills as
Man-Made Flood Covers Valley
By The APP Feature Service

=
Spokane, Wash. = Three thou
sand persons are about to see
their homes, farms and even the
towns they have built disappear
under vast man-made lake.
They are jewellers in the great
Columbia River Canyon, which is
slowly being flooded as water
backs up behind the Grand Cou-
lee DAM.
The dam is not completed, but
as the massive pile of concrete
rises higher and higher the lake
behind it grows. Eventually the
underwater area will be Isl miles
long ard one to six miles wide, a
total of $4,000 acres.
Surveys have fixed the water
level at 1910 feet above the sea,
and that figure is the chief topic
of conversation along the river.
Ii you're below $780," the
Government has been around try
ing to buy your land and build
ings, because they'll soon be under
water. If you're "above 1870" you
stay where you are but can soon
look forward to having a great
lake in your front yard.
Costly To Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam is paying about $10,-
100000 to the people he is dis
possessing, and plans to spend an
other $10,000,O00 clearing the lake
bottom so that dead trees and old
barns and houses will not be bob
bling up to the surface in years to
come The average small home
and the land it occupies has
brought about $4,000.
Ten towns large enough to
have postoffice, several smaller
harnlets, and many individual
farms will be submerged. Marcus,
population 600, is the largest town
in the area.
Residents of several towns hope
to retain their corporate identity
in a new location. j. K. Mutterer,
postmaster at Daisy, says there'l
be a new Daisy-possibly resort
town-on the shore of the COM
pleted lake. The town of Kettle

side.
Young Folks Like 1t
Relocation of some communities
depends upon the rebuilding
of 227 miles of highway and 26
miles of railroad. The old loca-
tions will be submerged.
Some of the pioneers in this
valley of numbered days regret
leaving their homesteads in their
old age. The younger people rath-
err welcome the cash sales which
give them stakes for a new start.
The community generally looks
forward to better times as the, re-
suit of easy lake transportation
and cheap power from the dam.
The great lake that will wind
north and east up the Columbia
Canyon is not to be confused with
the Grand Coulee reservoir pro-
per. The latter is "a great dry
basin created by ancient erosion,
into which river water will be
pumped and stored for irrigation.

without promotion, as would all
those coming in after them.
Instead the immediate require
ments will be filed by bringing in
from the private air schools re-
serve officers, flying cadets and
newly trained filters who will
serve only three to seven years.
Each year for the next 10 years
200 to 800 will be selected from
this list for permanent commits
sions in the air force.
But the immediate prospect is
for 5000 air corps reserve officers
to be offered active duty for three
to seven years, an increase from
1850 such jobs during recent
years. If at the end of three years
they are not chosen for perman-
en-: commissions, they may retire,
trained filters, with $500 bonus.
Of course if war comes, they'll
be on the spot.
Sights In The Capital
Off Pennsylvania Avenue:
Since Senator Copeland of the
red carnation died, a half dozen
senators have taken to wearing
red carnations. The old senator
had a monopoly on them until he
dropped off last year :. Mrs.
Mary Borah, wife of the senator,
wears a ring with smoky topaz
the size of a plum. Nobody re-
spectacle would wear it," says
she, mischievously. 1t once be-
longed to Machado, exiled dictator
of Cuba. Fifty steps fro the u.
S. treasury you can buy book
entitled: 'Youf Income Tax, How
to Keep 1t Low" In Washing
ton, home of the New Deal, only
five New DEAL names appear in
the telephone book = a New Deal
barber shop, a liquor store, two
clothes shops and paper hanger.

state institutions when state
grown spuds could not find a
market. The bill provides that
state-grown or produced Neget-
ables and dairy products be given
preference.
New license plates will not
exactly accommodate the trend
for streamhning-they'll be short

Little Hope for Beer Bill
The first bill dealing with liq-
uor would give Winona the pow
er to license more on-sale liquor
places. A public hearing on the
80 redefinition bill is scheduled
for the latter part of the month.
Gossip has it that the bill will
lose by a scant majority in the
lower house and hasn't chance
of passage in the senate. While
most legislators agree that 81
beer is Intoxicating they get in a
state of quandary when rejecting

on the economic side of the ques-
ton.
Vending machines of all kinds
will pay part of the tax burden II
bills introduced in both houses
become law. Owners of all variet-
les would be assessed SIS annual
ly for each device.
Lobbyists for this and that will
possibly make themselves a little
scarcer if a bill proposed passes,
making them file their expenses
periodically under penalty. Bride
charges against lobbyist who
was charged with offering brides
to number of legislators to vote
for the small loan bill have tenn
porarily come to a halt because
the man named cannot be found.
The charges brought renewed dis
gust with those who prey on le-
gislators and all are anxious that
the charges be thoroughly aired
in court.

Legislative
Sidehights
By H. E. SUenneS

Some really important legisla-
ton of statewide significance is
eking cut Of committees and find
ing its way to the floors of the
legislative bodies. Rural Mime
sofa is especially interested in the
law requiring employers to make
benefit payments on employees of
one or more. The house bill pro-
posed to limit payment when
eight or more are employed by
one establishment. The house
committee amended it to provide
for benefit payments when five or
more are employed but the senate
committee recommended eight or
more.
Rural legislators were especial
ly interested in the bill, claiming
little benefit from this law ever
reverted to their communities be-
cause employment wasn't as sea-
sonal as in the larger centers.
Those favoring the bill claimed
the cost, too, was burdensome and
entirely out of proportion to the
benefits paid.
In Redwood county employers
paid in $21 1884 in a year and
benefit payments for a year total
ed $14,428. If all counties were
given as much in return as Red
wood the bill would not have
found such ready backing. AS an
illustration we might cite Waton-
wan which paid in $16,596 and
received $1,000; Sibley which paid
in $11,500 and received $2,180;
Stevens which paid in $11,559 and
received $3,031; Murray which
paid in $4,000 and received ST.
497; Brown which paid in $56,512
and received $23, 1853; Cottonwood
which paid in S14,128 and receiv-
ed $6,105.
ST. Louis county is one of the
| counties that received more bene-
fit payments than they contribut-
ed to the fund. Ramsey and Hen
nepin counties received approx
imately the same returns as Red
wood county in proportion to the
amount paid in. One exceptional
case is Crow Wing county which
paid in $57 900 and received
$226,000 in return.
Instead of qualifying examina-
tons for all present state employ
es the house civil administration
committee recommended that the
state blanket in" all employees
who have worked for the state
four and one-half years. They are
! of course subject to the six-month
probationary period during which
any or all may be removed. The
governor is said to be favorable
