The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1910-04-02

Colville's daily paper has suspended publication.
This is unfortunate, not so much from the pub
llsher's standpoint, as from that Of the advance
ment of this city.
daily paper is an excellent means of advertis-
ing any city, and the presence of daily shows
the public that the city is live one 1t is true
that not many small cities can afford to support a
daily, which at the least is not prolific money
maker for the publisher in cities of less than 10, 600.
Regardless of what opinions the Examiner may
have had regarding the source of Colvilles daily,
the Examiner has subscribed for each and every
copy so far published. 1t has done this in the
knowledge that daily is good thing for grow
ing city, and while regretting the personal char
acter and undertaking methods Of the daily has
believed that in time it might become better for
the reason that it could not become worse.
1t has been source of great pleasure to the
readers of the daily to be informed each day, at
promptly 5 o'clock that Editor Veatch was great
man and paid most of his debts before leaving
Kansas It has been worth the small sum of Is
cents per week to see each day that the former
brewery owner and sef-constituted leader of the
republican party had not changed in his political
or local option doctrines within the last three
months, for without this daily information his
small band of dupes might not have known
where he was at
The Examiner hates to see the daily go. All the
important news items were we'll edited, for they
were cut directly from the Review and could be
relied upon whenever the printers happened to get
it set up right. The merchants of the city have
received considerable free advertising, for it was
cheaper to run free ads from the weekly than to
set up news type for each issue of the daily. The
paper has also given great number of people the
privilege of telling the canvasser what they
thought of the Index and its various emanations
instituted for the Veatch congressional campaign.
In fact, many good points there are to the credit
of the daily, and it is with sincere regret that the
enterprise fails so soon simply for lack of intel-
gent management
Uncle Jerry, you think there's going to be an
awful smash in prices some of these days, do you'
''Gosh yes! Look at the distance they've got

Newport Miner: ''The east side of the county
needs deputy prosecutor to be located here or
Prosecuting Attorney Kirkpatrick ought to give a
little more attention to criminal matters arising on
this side of the county, Many offenses against
the peace and dignity of the state go unpunished
because of the disincnaton of the prosecuting at
torney to take them up on account of the expense
involved, condition of affairs which is not con-
ducive to creation Of respect for law. Several
times attempts have been made to get the prose-
cutting attorney to take up matters on this side of
the county, but without success"
The Miner should remember that in the last
county election one of the main principles of the
republican party and of the leader of the party"
was to pay no attention to the east side. This
seemed to be agreeable to the east side, for it
voted as strongly republican as any other section
of the county, Now that this principle is being
carried out by the officials elected at that time with
the aid of the east side, there should not be any
protest from that side.
