Employers cut back on hiring in August

Jim Kershner’s this day in history
From our archives, 100 years ago
About 70 scientists from America and Europe planned to spend an entire day touring one of the Inland Northwest’s natural wonders, the Grand Coulee. The American Geographical Society sponsored the tour. They planned to start the tour in Spokane and drive in dozens of autos to “the huge, rock-ribbed coulee, the walls of which extend sheer up from 800 to 1,000 feet.” After that, they planned to explore the Columbia River, Steamboat Rock and the Yakima Valley. The tour’s organizer was Professor William Morris Davis from Harvard, who “insisted upon including” the Grand Coulee in the tour.
