The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1909-12-25

brewery warehouse or distributing agency may De
maintained in dry territory except for the purpose
OF closing out whatever stock may now be on hand.
The case at point is that of the Colfax Brewing
Company, which has been operating storage and
distributing agency in Colville. The stock on hand
may be delivered to any one either in Colville or
in other units, but after the stock is gone, it can
not be replenished. Orders must be sent direct to
Colfax for delivery in dry terrtoy. p
The opinion further recites that breweries in dry
territory not sell to parties in such territory,
Sec 18 of the law simply permitting the delivery.
The actual sale must be made in some unit which
is wet after which the delivery may be made even
in dry territory.
This is the same question which was discussed
here during the local option campaign The evasve-
ness of the law is plain in the case of the brewery
The Colfax brewery can not make sale in Col
vle but if an order is sent to Colfax, the techni
cal sale is then made in Colfax, .and the delivery
may then be made in Colville direct from Colfax
What weird and wonderful laws the ingenuity of
man can frame!
During the last three weeks the editor of the
Examiner has been asked number of times re-
garding report that he had sold out to the editor
of the Index This was simply treated as joke
at first but after dozen or so of the subscribers
had come to this office to find out, stating that If
the report was true they wished to stop the paper
the Examiner editor began to sit up and take notice
Now the fact is that Red Top owns the Ex-
aminer, he intends to continue to own it, he has
refused twice to set any price it, and as long as
the public can endure it he prefers to live in Col
vile rather than any other place he has seen. It
is true that he has recently received tempting
offer to go back to city newspaper work, but this
has happened before and may happen again with
out being accepted.
The practice of. Colve editor selling OUT
seems to be so interviewer with the newspaper his
tory of this place that perhaps the public is not to
be blamed for believing almost anything along that
line. The strenuous efforts of other newspaper in
terests to get RED Top" out of the local field are
apparently being continued Judging from all the
information we have at present, these efforts are
useless and could be better spent in boosting FOR
the city and the county.

The Omaha Bee states that they are growing
gray matter for pigs at the state agricultural sta
tion at Wooster, Ohio, by feeding them brain food
DR.. E. B. Forbes is in charge and is meeting with
success. They put ordinary porkers on Forbes
brain food and in 60 days they develop foreheads,
from fast growing cerebrum. There is danger
that some may become highbrows.
The pigs upon which it "takes'' show intelli-
gence. They cease wallowing and gambol like
lambs. A 250-pounder doing a gambol would
bring tears to the eyes of the Sphinx. By prepar-
ing the food scientifically and by close observation
and postmortems DR.. Forbes determines just
what benefit has been derived by his charges It is
said with all evidence of verify that under the new
order even the grunts become refined, while in one
pen the pigs show tendency to become musicians,
regulating their squeals to the chromatic SCALE
They feed the pigs other things than brain food
One mixture produces muscle, and the pig Sandow
is on exhibition, while another deveopes an un-
usual amount of bone. 1t all depends upon the
mineral nutrment the different diets contain. The
pigs are fed mineral nutriments mixed with ration
of pearl honiny, wheat gluten and blood albumen.
The stuff resembles coarse predigested breakfast
food.
When he concludes his experiments, DR.. Forbes
is going to tell the farmers how to get results.
When he is through lecturing every farmer can
raise bunch of brainy pigs or just everyday hefty
ones, with brain power added. DR.. Forbes theory
is that pig fed upon certain food will show the
same effect in the person eating the meat. For in
stance. feed pig bone-making food and the indi-
vidual who eats the pork will benefit in the same
manner, in lesser degree.
Holiday table supplies, consisting of nine pound
turkey, plum pudding for four, mincemeat for
three pies celery, parsley quart of cranberries,
pound of mixed nuts and three pounds of sweet
potatoes were sold in Chicago 10 years ago yes
terday for $1.95. Yesterday precisely the same
supplies cost $4.25 If this difference is little
above the average, it is safe to assume that the
prices of these and similar articles have practically
doubled in the last 10 years. The department of
