GRAND COULEE DAM, May 25. Just what will happen regarding the annual run-off of the Columbia, how high it will go, and when the peak will come, are questions that are on the minds of the engineers at the project, for the answers may or may not be serious.

For the last week or more the stream has continued its slow rise, up from three to five tenths each day, so slowly that the run-off is still quite a way below that of the same period last year. Today the river stood at the 956 level, 10 feet lower than last year and 14 feet lower than the previous year, readings show, Cold weather during late spring has held back the melting snows. New Cement Fixture. A temporary cement unloading plant has been established by the contractors at the axis of the dam, to facilitate the unloading process when other lines are interrupted. Instead of using additional pressure for unloading, the cement is sucked out of the box cars by big suction pumps and loaded directly into the pipes that lead to the mixing plants.

No decisions were reached at NO oecisions were reacneo at FEDERAL COURT MOSCOW, Idaho, May tions urging the authorization of a $180,000 public hospital here will be circulated over Latah county beginning Monday, a committee pushing the project decided today. Before bonds- for the hospital can be issued, 30 per cent of the taxpayers in the county who voted at the last election must signify their assent, County Attorney Murray Estes told the committee.

He said 2081 names must be on the list. The county commissioners already have indicated they are in favor of the move. The committee said that as the county is free of bonded debt and that the project has found quick support from civic, fraternal and religious organizations, there should be little difficulty in disposing of the bonds. Among organizations that have passed resolutions favoring the hospital are the American legion, Ministerial association, Knights of Pythias, Moose, Pomona Grange and the chamber of commerce. Beer Ban Remains.

The commissioners refused to revoke their ban of Sunday beer sales when confronted with petitions bearing 463 names, presented by a Moscow beer parlor operator.

Trial Examiner Walter Wilbur told attorneys involved in the BilesColeman Lumber company collective bargaining hearing here this afternoon that he does not propose to retry cases that have been heard in the county courts. The warning came after Attorney F. M. Roberts, for the lumber company, and Interrogato; John Babe of the national labor relations board had questioned two witnesses at length concerning disputes growing out of the strike last summer and which found their way into the county Courts. Jess Coil had testified that he and two other union members were put under peace bond after they had discussed the strike with Jim McClancey, who was not a union member.

He said their conversation with McCiancey had. been friendly and that no threats of bodily harm were made against him and that they were surprised when they learned he had asked that they be placed under bond. Herbert Begley, one of six men given 90-day suspended jail sentences by Superior Judge William C. Brown Saturday, on conviction of destroying property, told Roberts he pleaded guilty, but he was not really guilty of the act. The two men were put on 'the stand by Babe primarily, he said, to further identify a petition signed by employees of the company prior to the strike, naming the union as their bargaining agent.

James Trimmer, president of the union, also was called to identify names en three sheets of the petition. He said the men were simply asked to read the petition and sign if they so desired. No argument, nor coercion was employed to ob- taM signatures by any union men he said. The men all testified that the names they obtained were of employees in the sawmill and box factory and not in the woods. That line of questioning presumably was Intended to support a contention that logging should be considered as a separate unit for purposes of collective bargaining.

Span Condemnation Asked. Suit to condemn the Brewster toll bridge and make it part of the state highway system was instituted in superior court here by James Davis, assistant highway director.
