But then the rest of the time, you don't have any tourist business. So you've got to have a stable industry somewhere to keep the town operating. The tourist business is just extra.

The general problems that we have is this flood problem that we have up here around the hills, and he's doing a lot of work on this kind of stuff. With the Bureau of Engineers and Soil Conservation Service. We're trying to create a dam up here in Mill Creek. He's doing a lot of work on this with the Bureau of Reclamation and these other agencies. So, he has varied jobs that run from recruiting business to taking care of the business we got, to flood control, 20 |
