Motor Boat Race

Probably 200 people were attracted to
the river front on Sunday afternoon to
witness the race between the motor
boats. The Langille boat failed to put
in an appearance and this reduced the
number to two, the Shamrock, owned
by the Flynn brothers, and the Rockwell
flyer.
The course was from Stevens dock
around Boundary island and back to the
dock. The Shamrock got away in the
lead, but was soon overhauled by the
Rockwell craft. The latter boat was
never headed after once getting the lead
The Shamrock was beaten nearly block
by the new boat, which is certainly Il
very speedy craft.
The Shamrock engine will receive
some necessary improvements and an
other race between all of the motor boats
on the river will be arranged.

Another feature of the new law
is that a person who had a home
stead and committed on it prior to
June ). 1900, may also make second
entry, but he will not be allowed to
commute on it second time. Ac-
cording to the law as it now stands,
second homestead entries can only
be made under the above condi-
tions, with the exception of per-
sons, who, prior to May %, 1902,
made an entry, perfected the title
to the land and paid a regulated
price for it, when he should have
received the land under the free
home act" without charge.

Sunday in ColviIIe.

The delirious excitement of or
dinarv life in Colville has been
greatly augmented by the stoppage
of the Sunday trains on the s. f. Il
\. Heretofore, aside from the ex-
hilarating exhilaration to be de-
rived from attending church or
chasing ground hogs on Sunday
morning, the visiting stranger had
his choice Of madly rushing to the
depot to watch the choo-choO cars
come in, or scrapping to keep his
place in line at the pOstoffice win
dow till after. the mail had been
brought up and distributed. In
the meantime he could smoke his
head off with cigars bought at the
various stands the day before, or
alternate by damning Jim Hill on
general principles. Jim is used to
it and rather enjoys it. But, alas,
now everything is changed. No
more can the tourist passing
through gauge Colville's population
by the representation at the depot;
no more can be witnessed the pleas
urable Sabbath excitement of hold
ing the train up until the brigand
newsboy be forced to disgorge the
fl cents he was striving to make off
with; no more-but, what's the use
Of talking! Colville has become
but a wide place in the road-and
mighty lonesome road at that

stoppage of our Sunday train SER

Stevens County Exhibit.

B. f, Hammond went to Spo-

while there will see that Colville's
Stevens county exhibit at the Spo-
kane chamber of commerce is re-
hibilitated and fixed up, as its
Importance deserves. The COM
mittee primarily having charge of
this exhibit was composed OF
Messrs. B. F. Hammond, G.. B. Ide
and F, Fl. McDermont. Although
residents of the county might profit
ably have evinced more interest
than was shown at the time, and
though not as adequate q showing
or the products of the county as
desirable was made, the exhibit
took second prize among those of
the counties of the state. 1t is to
be hoped that the people throughout
the county will awake to their in
terest in this matter, and make

it should be to reflect credit on one
