The schedule makers of the Southern
league gather in Chattanooga next Sat.
urday. 1t is confidently predicted that
Birmingham will play at home both the
Fourth of July and Labor day and In
Justice TO the best baseball city lin
the league they should get the opening
date also.
Not only does Birmingham deserve 1t
on attendance but this years opening
of baseball festivities will be attended
by more than usual interest because of
the fact that the pennant of the South
ern league, carrying with it the title
of THE Best in Dixie" will be hoisted
over Redwood.

the faithful followers of the Baronss be

1t is not believed they will. To the
victor belong the spoils and it is not
asking too much to demand the opening
of the season, Fourth of July and La

Last Wednesday was the first
day of perpetual sunshine Colville
has seen for many weeks. The
town was full Of people, the big
stores were busy, the attorneys
were all working hard, doctors
and druggists did a rushing bus
mess, the snow disappeared from
the streets, rubbers. furs and
overcoats were laid aside and all
nature seemed to wear a smile.
Some claim that this radical
change was due to the fact that
Wednesday was the first day Of
democratic rule for just 16 years.
With the several legislatures in
session over the country, much
has been printed regarding the
blue sky" law. Yet many peo-
pie do not seem to know just
what this blue sky" business
means, and several inquiries have
come to this office.
The original Kansas law which
seems to serve as a model in the
discussions in various states was
very drastic. The basic idea Of
the "blue sky" law is that yearly
there shall be filed with the
proper official of the state, for
public inspection, the complete
records of the financial condition,
dividends, properties and earn
ings of any company whose Sc
curitles, stocks or bonds are
offered for sale to the public.
The primary idea is to foil, by
exposure, those peddlers of
worthless stock and fraudulent
securities" who prey upon the
masses and who advertise "gilt-
edge" propositions which are in
reality worthless. A blue-sky
law does not necessarily prohibit

The reduced rates from east
ern points into Stevens county
took effect last month, as per
Great Northern Supplement to
G. F O. No. 236OO. These new
rates were printed in the Colville
papers several weeks ago.
This is the second reduction
secured in the two years fight
conducted by j. C. Harrigan, the
first reduction being more than
3O& from Spokane north, and
the second one being a reduction
to nearly the Spokane rate from
eastern points.
There are still many things
which have not been secured in
the way of rates into and out Of
this great section of the north
west, but since the people have
learned that they are the ones
who can dictate, further reforms
and advantages should come
easier and more quickly.

garding the governments investiga-
ton of the Standard Oil Company to

cree had been violated.

navy, who was the first to come and
the first to leave, said:
I'VE had a general talk. 1t was
fine.'
William Jennings Bryan's face was
wreathed in smiles

we all got well acquainted" said he.
Everything went just as smooth

showed that every man had red corp
uscles in his veins,'' said Franklin K.
Lane, the new secretary of the inter
iOr.

Mrs. Loren Davis, was burned to
death shortly before noon today, in a
fire that destroyed the home of the
Davis family d&1 the outskirts of this

Park in Reddfng.
The house was a two story frame
building. Mrs. Davis went to neigh
bor's about II O'Clock, leaving her two
small children alone in the house
While she was away the building
caught fire from some source that has
not been ascertained. Mrs Davis dis
covered the flames as she approached
the house on her return home. The
entire house was ablaze then, but
hedless of her own danger, she dashed
into the building and rescued the
younger child, who had been overcome
by the smoke and was lying uncon-
scious on the floor. When she emerg-
ed, from the building her own cloth
was afire. Neighbors arrived in time
to save them. The heat had become
so intense that it was impossible to
get into the building to save the other
child. Mrs. Davis and the child that
was rescued were sent to the hospital
in Danbury.
