The Registration

12:01. There were 81 men in
line at the opening time, and
James Petty of Colville was the
first to raise his hand and be
sworn by Notary F. Y. Wilson
and have his application regis
tered. C. H. Pierce of Orient
was the second to register. By
noon Wednesday 450 filings were
received.
Registrations in Colvilie are
likely to go beyond all expecta-
tions, and it will undoubtedly be
necessary for Colville to take steps
to house and feed the visitors.
Every one who has rooms which
can be let to strangers should
notify w. w. Campbell, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Com
merce, 80 that accommodations
can be arranged. Colville can
not afford to lose her reputation
at this time, after working so
long to secure this registration
here. Railroads all report un-
precedented interest in the reser-
walton opening, and large ticket
sales, most of those from the
east being routed through to
Colville.
Colville's registration room is
Immediately north of the Exam
iner office, on Main street. Thir-
teen notaries care for the wants
of the public: L. B. Donley, F. Leo
Grinstead, R. A. Thayer, L. M.

son, O. w. Noble, H. W. McNamar,
John B. Slater, F. Y. Wilson, Mrs.
Jean McCloud, the latter three be-
ing respectively president, secre-
tary, and treasurer of the notaries
association.
The registration room is open

divided into three shifts. The ap-
plicant for registration pays 25c
to the cashier on entering the

Among the Fourth Of July and
roundup visitors to Colville this
week were several prominent in
the political world, most promi-
