The Hotel Home

The Debs hotel has changed hands
and will be called Hotel Home, and true
to its name the new management will
endeavor to make it homelike hotel
for the public. 1t will be remodeled
and renovated from cellar to garret.
The sanitary conditions will be as per-
feet as modern plumbing can make
them. Furthermore, there will be a
nice ladies' parlor fitted up separate
from the gentlemen's lobby, where
tired women can rest in comfort. The
entrance to this parlor will be No. l55
North Main street, and this will be the
only hotel in Colville having ladies'
parlor on the ground floor. No pains
will be spared to make this comforta-
BILE homelike hotel run on the American
plan. Please give US trial and be con-
vinced. Meals 25c; beds 25c and up.

Harry H. Collier of Tacoma has
been appointed commissioners of
poultry, and a considerable fund
set aside to secure participation
by Washington poultry fanciers
.in the international poultry show
at San Francisco in 1915, by the
Washington state exposition COM
mission. Mr.. Collier, one of the
best known poultrymen in the
state, estimates that chicken
fanciers from Washington will
exhibit at least l, 900 birds at San
Francisco, and that this state
will carry away close to 25 per
cent of the prizes. The state
exposition commission will offer
a large list of special added cash
awards for prize winning poultry
from Washington at the San
Francisco shows. These awards
will probably amount to a dupli-
cation of the prizes won by
Washington entries in interna-

The u. S Department of Agri-
culture in Farmers Bulletin No.
584 gives the agricultural outlook
for March 1st. as compared with
the same date in other years.
It has some very comforting fig
ures for those who imagine that
the new tariff has wrecked farm
ing profits.
Bear in mind that the U. S. has
corn trust, raising sixty EIGHT
per cent of the worlds corn crop
in 1918. All Argentina produces
less than the state of Illinois, and
nearly half of that is consumed
at home. 1t is flint corn, and if
all it's exports came to this coun-
try, which is not the case, it
wouldn't put the corn belt farm
er out of business.
Let us take the market price
per bushel for the states of Ill
inois, Iowa, and Missouri for the
year 1914, 1918, and the last six
year average on March 1st. Ill
inois 60 46-53 cents; Iowa, 56
-39-48; Missouri, 72-B-57
cents respectively.
Take potatoes, another crop to
be scared about in regard to free
trade competition. / give the
market prices on March 1st, 1913
and 1914 for a few states. Maine,
right at the door of competition,

From Philadelphia comes the
following letter, signed G. H.
Kirk:
why don't you stand on the
side of the Nation and call the
States to arms to defeat the un-
worthy surrender of the Panama
Canal, otwithstandingyour snap
judgment to the contrary of a few
weeks ago? Or shall it be said
that Golfers too is for special
privilege?"
AS Mr.. Kirk does not favor us
with his address, we will give
him his answer here:
Your letter is an admirable
specimen of the loose thinking
and loose writing that people use
who read dishonesty edited new
papers.
Just where did you get your
idea that anybody in this country
plans to surrender" the Panama
Canal, or for that matter the
Gowanus Canal, to any foreign
nation?
The proposition, as Golfers
understands it is: Shall the ship
ping trust pay for the privilege
of using the Panama Canal
which has cost the United States
a good many million dollars or
shall the people pay one more tax
to Especial privilege" by sur
rendering" the canal to combine
owned shipping? Giving some
thing for nothing is generally
bad policy for any individual or
any nation. That is the Wilson
idea of this matter, and the Geo
thals idea and the idea of Rear
Admiral Stockton, and Golfers
idea.
Confesse1ly, the canals service
is a great one. If you know of
any reason why you and the
editor of Golfers should pay no
fare on steet cars because we
happen to be American citizens,
you will also be able to explain
why American shipping should
MT pay its fare through the Pan
anna Canal.
By all means let us subsidize
our shipping if subsidy is a wise
economic policy; but if we are
going to do it, let us do it thonest-
ly and with our eyes open. Col

low last year, due perhaps as
much to the mild winter through
out the central West as to Dan
ish competition. Nearly every
other product, including beef
cattle, sold for more money this
winter and early spring than cor
responding dates last year when
the old tariff was in effect.
These are government facts, and
not political hot air.
Reduced tariff on oats has
put about 100000 bushels of
Canadian oats into the United
States this last winter. But
when we compare the year 1910
under old tariffs to 1918 crop and
this winters we find that though
the 1910 crop was about 5.75 per
cent greater under than the 1918
crop, the price was about ID per
cent greater under Canadian COM
petition than in 1910 under high
protection. From Success s full

THE GOLD TEST.

re- Use In Diagnosing Diseases Of the
Brain and Nerves.
Like the weird remedies and tests

devised to detect and classify forms
Of insanity aud brain affections. Salts
Of gold in solution. drops of spinal

ering Of normal persons brain and
various other similar materials are the
means employed.
The gold test. for instance, II used
to prove definitely the existence of
paresis. meningitis and several other
forms of nervous diseases, though In
practice 1t is used mostly as cor
roborative proof rather than the only
proof. Solutions Of salt Of gold Of
carefully graduated strength are put
into test tubes. with the weakest So
buttons at one end Of the row grad
ing up to the strongest at the other
end.
Fluid from the spinal column of the
person who is being examined Is then
dropped into the tubes. The presence
Of certain kinds of brain or nervous
trouble is then indicated by the COL
ors produced In some of the tubes.
The particular color produced and the
strength Of the solution that shows
the color strongest give the clew to the
kind Of disease.
