Chewelah Independent: Tn e
Index says that people have for
gotten how to spell the word
prosperity - we'll the Index is
about right. The word was sus-
pended from use in 1907 under a
prosperous (?) republican ad-
ministration, when the banks of
the country were forced to make
use of rag money or go out of
business. In these democratic
times if you have dollar in the
bank you can go and get it with
out any hesitation; further, if
you have any credit it will get
you another dollar if you need it.

a call for bids for about 5 miles
of the Inland Empire highway,
from Colville south - the long
looked for road which has engen-
dered so much discussion
throughout the county.
A road north and south through
Stevens county has been sought
by the county good roads advo-
Gates for many years. The Col
vile Chamber of Commerce spent
considerable time and money in
endeavoring to secure such a
state road. but Colville was the
only point in the county which
made any effort to secure state
appropriations for this county,
and the result was that Stevens
county got none of the first legis-
lative appropriation.
Through the continued efforts
of the Colville Chamber of Com
merce, and it's representative
Louis G. Keller on the state
good roads association, the asso-
citation and the legislature were
finally convinced that Stevens
county was really a part of the
state, and that there were quite
a number of white people living
in the county who would appre-
ciate a good road if they only
had one.
AS a result, about $50, 900 was
recommended by the good roads
association as a starter for such
a road in this county, and the
recommendation went to the
legislature, where Representative
Olson, unfortunately elected by
the republican organization of the
county, promptly opposed it, and
, was one of about half a dozen in
the entire legislature who fatty
voted against it.
But the appropriation was
made. and the road will be
started. At the next session of
the legislature a demand will be
made for sufficient funds to COM
plete the proposed road from the
Colville end to the Spokane coun-
ty line, and later to finish the
road north to the international
boundary.
The first work of state road
building is to unite the trade CEN
ters by primary highways, and
then to construct secondary high
ways leading to these primary
roads. The plan of the state
association has been worked out
after many years of hard work,
and has been approved by the
legislature in the last two ses-
sions. 1t is unfortunate that
the states taxing ability does
not permit all communities to
have good roads Immediately,
but the plan is that they will
eventually have them, the trade
centers, the cities and the county
seats being first united by a
series of trunk roads, forming a
basis for the highway system of
the state.
The work of the Colville Cham
ber of Commerce has been di-
rectly in line with the policy of
the state association, and effort
will be made to secure the con-
struction of secondary roads as
speedily as possible. Coopera-
ton by other communities of the
county might hasten the result,
but continued opposition to the
policy of the state good roads
association may succeed in de-
laying this county's advance
ment.

ing under federal banking sys-
tenn are not permitted to pay out
any kind of money except United
States money, and violations
have been punished by fine of
5000 or more. Hence the banks
which received Canadian money
had to send it to Canada for re-
demption, causing an expense,
but making it solely an expense
of the bank. The additional cost
since the war has obliged them
to make the customer help pay

Congressman C. G.. Dill, on
his return from Washington. D.
c., states that he conferred with
Secretary Lane of the Interior
department, and with the heads
of the Indian department, and
that he presented the results of
his observations and knowledge
of conditions on the Colville reser-
vation to the Indian department,
with the result that he believes
he has convinced the department
of the advisability of opening the
reservation. If he has really
accomplished this much, he has
done more, even before taking
his seat in congress, than all the
array of republican congressman
this state has sent to congress in
years past. It has been confident
ly hoped that Mr.. Dills known
ability to get results could even
tually get the reservation opened
if he would direct his efforts
toward that end, and his arduous
trip on horseback over the un-
travelled interior of the reserva-
ton has given him a first
knowledge of conditions for
presentation to the department.
The Statesman-Index felt it
necessary last week to call at
tention to the work of Prose-
cutting Attorney Stull in prose-
cutting bootleggers, remarking
that the present prosecuting
attorney had done much more of
this work than his predecessor.
This is rather delicate sub
ject for the Index to open up,
seeing that the Index supported
the present incumbent, but it
may be that the fragrant condi-
tions warrant it.
It is quite evident that boot
leggers have felt freer to pur-
sue the even tenor of their way
under the present administration
than they did year ago, and
have taken more and bigger
chances than this county ever
before witnessed. The fragrant
disregard of law under the pres
ent prosecuting attorneys ad-
ministration has made it quite
easy to secure witnesses, for al
most anybody could tell about it.
This was not true a few years
ago. and the few cases which
did come up were extremely
hard to convict for the reason
that the business was not exten-
sive and few witnesses were
available.
From a financial standpoint it
is perhaps better for the county
to permit open violations for a
while, and then swoop down and
collect a bunch of fines. The
county needs the money, and the
bootleggers would probably ar
que that the people need the
whiskey. So long as the public
makes no particular demand for
prosecution, a prosecuting at
torney and sheriff need only grab
those violators who are bold and
out in the open with their
wares. But a prosecutor who is
industriously ON the job all the
time is not likely to have any
bootleggers to handle - there
won't be any willing to take the

The American Temperance Life
Insurance Co. of New York, Or
ganized in 1899 for insuring total
abstainers, has gone broke. Of
ficers claim that their troubles
started when they began to take
in moderate drinkers, but the
moderate drinkers allege that
the dries were not good risks
and queered the company. All
of which goes to prove-nothing.
The news comes that they are
fattening sheep in Oregon by
using electric light to illumine
the pens, one theory being that
the sheep will eat more, get fat
ter and weigh heavier. If twill
work, sheep must be different
from humans, or editors, or other
kinds of animals. Here in Col
vile the experiment has been
conducted for some years by
Editor Doty, who eschews bright
lights and electric radiance of
the night hours, and by Red Top,
who retains his habits of daily
newspaper work in the cities and
delights in contributing to the
maintenance of the electric light
companies. The result, proving
that editors are not entirely like
sheep, is that Editor Doty, unlike
the republican party, has gained
weight, while Red Top has grown
thinner in trying to find enough
to eat.
