Never in the history of Stevens county has any
newspaper made the rapid growth in paid up SUBJ
scriptions as has The Colvile Examiner within the
past 20 days. The list shows that in less than two
weeks the circulation was increased about 500, or
at the rate of so day.
This statement. however, is not unreasonable
when the recent extraordinary offer made by this
paper is taken into consideration The Colvile
Examiner was fortunate in being able to secure
clubbing list with the American Weekly and thus
giving its readers the benefit of two papers for the
price of one. The American Weekly is recognized
to be one of the ablest and best family newspapers
published on the Pacific coast. Aside from giving
the general news of the world, there are men of
talent and ability who have charge of each of the
various departments, agriculture, the home child
ren's department, comic section, fashions science,
sports literature, etc. The Examiner is not run
ming for congress, and is not soliciting votes but
tions, and believes you will get the worth of your
money in newspapers.
The clubbing offer is still open to those who
make payment on subscription, either new or
renewal.
County commissioners have not the authority
to authorize the payment of bills from road funds
of road district when the district is already in
debt and the tax levy has been exhausted"
This official opinion of the attorney general rem
dered to the prosecuting attorney of Ktsap county,
is hoped to stop practice illegal and extravagant,
which has developed generally throughout the state.
D~S
D. o. Cline, for Is years station agent at Spring
dale, has filed for the nomination for auditor on
the democratic ticket. And let it be quietly
whispered among the taxpayers that Cline stands
pretty big chance of having to move to Covle,
for no man in the southern part of the county has
more or better or warmer friends than he, and
these friends are not slow to tell the ability and
the sterling character of Mr.. Cline
man to properly fill the position of county
auditor must possess the highest methodica and
clerical ability. He need not be politician, but
the fact that man is consistent in politics goes
long way in bringing respect from men of all
parties. Mr. Cline has always been democrat,
not the kind who would stand on his toes and howl
at the other fellows misdeeds, but the kind who
would always strive for the best to come from all
parties, especially his own.
BY the way, you remember that the Stevens
County Local Option League, A. E. Veatch mana
ger" indorsed several candidates the other day
over at the Christian church. One of those in
dorsed candidates is an ex-brewery president An
other one indorsed is an ex-bartender Another
one indorsed was Poindexter, who was never
claimed to be in favor of curtailing the liquor
traffic.
Of course the local option league is not in pol
itics. Oh no, it has nothing to do with anything
but local option! The Endorsement of candidates
was probably an incidental matter, unconscousy
brought up in the meeting, and passed upon with
out previous thought In fact President Veatch
has said that local option was not political move.
Yet the one man in this state who has worked
night and day, for some years. in an endeavor to
do away with the liquor traffic-Geo F.. Cotterill,
democratic candidate for the senate-was not in
dorsed; the one man who has stumped the state and
advocated that the liquor traffic be abolished he
was not indorsed, but his opponent WAS indorsed.
And J. A. Rockford, who is candidate this
year for prosecuting attorney, and who for two
years enforced the law in this county he was not
indorsed. He has favored local option. He has
favored and worked for the abolition of the
saloons. But he was not indorsed by the local
option league of Stevens county,"
Yet q breweryman and bartender were con-
sidefed proper persons to indorse for Office. Now
wouldn't that remind you just little of some
