The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1917-01-06
OFFICIAL CHANGES.

The changes are not as radical as
in some previous years, as some
of the newly elected officials have
had previous experience in their
work, and some of the old officials
were reelected.
Judge Daniel II. Carey will once
more take his place on the super
ior bench, succeeding Judge W.
HI. jackson, who was not can
didate for reelection and who will
return to the practice Of law.
Judge Carey had previously been
on the superior bench Of this
county for 8 years, where he not
only made an excellent record
from the standpoint of the citi-
zens Of this county, but was
acknowledged by the bar Of other
counties as a most, capable Jurist.
He has practicad law during the
last four years in partnership
with w. Lon Johnson under the
firm name Of Carey & johnson,
and fine law practice was estab-
lished. The partnership was dis
solved January |, and Mr.. John
son will complete all legal mat
ters Of the firm and remain alone
in the practice Of law in the of
fees in the Hickey block.
1t is not likely that Judge Carey
will ever again take up the prac-
tice OF law as an attorney. His
standing throughout the State as
a judge makes it probable that
some day he will be on the su-
preme bench. In fact, some years
ago when all appointment was to
be made by Governor Hay, Judge
Carey would have been selected
if the judge had come from east
ern Washington.
L. B. Donley will succeed How
ard w. Stull as prosecuting at
torney. Mr.. Donley is Stevens
county product, and was educated
in the schools of this county and
the state university. His ability
as lawyer has been demonstrated
in the courts of this county, and
his friends are numbered by his
acquaintances. He will dispense
with deputy, and endeavor to
handle the work Of the office alone,
thus making a saving of nearly
a thousand dollars a year to the
county. Mr.. Stull will resume
active practice with his law firm
of Stull, Wentz & Bailey in the
Bank Of Colville building. He
has served two terms as county
attorney.
r. l.. Richardson, who has been
deputy clerk, will become county
stenographer, with office in the
prosecuting attorneys room. His
work is largely on matters con
.nected with the work of the
prosecuting attorney and judge,
although his spare time is open
to all county Offices. Ward Hunt,
who has held this important posi-
tiOn for the last two years, will
become stenographer for Atty. L.
G. Jesseph. He has most credit
able record as county stenOgraph-
er, his ability and courtesy max
ing him a valuable man to the
county.
Earle T. Gates becomes county
auditor. His first deputy will be
w. c. Spedden, who has had much
experience in courthouse and alb
stracting work, and who is thor
oughly familiar with the duties
Of the office. He will act as clerk
Of the board Of county commits
sioners. c. ID. Grubb will be sec
ond deputy, and will also have the
exceeding pleasure of directing
the permit" work of the Office.
He will pry into yonr past and
future, according to the index
system Of the office, to see whether
you are entitled to your liquor
permit or not. Mr.. Grubb is a
man Of ability and has spent sew
eral years in school work. Saluda
Kildow will continue as third dep
uty, and Dorothy Dexter as copy
ist. both ladies being proficient in
