PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
LEAVES FOR CAMP PIKE

Prosecuting Attorney L. B. Donley
was delighted Monday when he re-
ceived word that the quarantine had
been lifted at Camp Pike, Arkansas,
and Tuesday he left Colville tdsenter
training there. His previous order
to report had been accompanied by
message that the camp was under
quarantine so that he could not be ad-
mitted for time. Camp Pike is an
infantry officers training school.
Mr.. Donley, who is considered one
of the ablest prosecuting attorneys
which Stevens county has had, came
to Colville in 1914 and began the
practice of law. He was born in Lin
coin county in August, 1887, and has
lived in Stevens county since he was
two years old He is graduate of
the Bellingham high school and was
graduated from the University of
Washington in 1914. In 1912 he was
married to Marian Louise Love-
They have a baby daughter, Holly
Belle. Mrs. Donley expects to make
her home with her father in Seattle
until Mr.. Donley's return.
L. C. Jesseph and Herman T.
Wentz, both Colville attorneys, gave
up their profession to enter training
at Camp Pike. and Mr.. Donley has
been eagerly waiting notice to report
there. Mr.. ~Donley had two and a
half years of military training at the
University of Washington. He was
in class IA and would not have been
drafted soon, but was anxious to get
into the service.
Atty. R. A. Thayer has been placed
in charge of the prosecuting attor-
ney's office by Mr.. Donley, who ex-
poets to resign as soon as he is Off
cially accepted by the war depart
ment. Mr.. Thayer is also handling
the probate work of Mr.. Donley.

CALL 20 MEN TO. ENTRAIN
AT FORT WORDEN OCT. 20

The war department has ordered
the call by the Stevens county local
board of 20 men to report at Colville
October 20, 1918, for entertainment for
Fort Worden (Seattle) for military
service. These are class one men
and physically qualified to perform
the duties of a soldier. As the
rule requires that men be entrained
in consequence Of the order and that
sufficient number of men be called
as alternates to provide against the
possibility of shortage of the quota,
the number of the current call of A.
1473, and with the possible exception
of the changes that are necessarily
made from time to time in the process
of reclasification, exhausts the class
1 men in the 1917 class. Following
are the men called:
Joseph Page, Charles William Bas-
ham, Merle J. Gnagy, Clarence M.
Hills, James A. Fox, Harvey Boggs,
Fred Garnet Campbell, Harry john

COMMISSIONERS FIX TAX
LEVY FOR NEXT YEAR

The Stevens county tax levy for
county and state purposes has been
fixed at 20 mills, or 3 mills higher
than this year. This is partly due TO
the increase in state taxes, and to
the increased cost of maintaining the
county's business. However, valua-
tons throughout the county are low,
and the heaviest taxes paid by the
people of the county are largely in
the nature of school, road, municipal
and special levies made as a result of
vote of the community.
Following is the detailed list Of tax

The incoming year is looked for
ward to as the beginning of an era
Of peace and progress. The estab-
lishment of lasting goOdfellowship
among the peoples of the earth may
be brought about by the destruction
Of autocratic governments through
the victory of democracy in the war
just closed.
Many things were changed by the
war to the advantage and benefit
of humanity, chief of which was the
breaking of the shackles of millions
of industrial, political and chsttel
slaves.
But before the world can reap the
fruits of victory there is much to be
done to prevent retrogression
Statesmen and peoples have an her.
culean task to perform in firmly
fixing political, industrial and social
conditions of freedom without which
"life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" are but hollow mockery
The people must use wisdom in
the selection of legislative represen-
tatives. They must learn what
candidates will do when elected
They must educate themselves polit-
ically to do this.
The wisdom of statesmen will be
taxed to the utmost in solving the
problems of reconstruction, for re-
construction we must have, or re-
PROGRESSION. The war destroyed
many conditions which should not be
permitted to exist in a free country.
If the people would be free they
must prevent a return of those con-
ditions.
Let every citizen think for him
self, convey to and receive the
thoughts of others.
You, Mr.. Citizen have right to
vote, Cast that vote yourself to
suit yourself. Do not be driven to
the polls like bearst of burden to
cast vote to please somebody else.
Educate yourself!
Find out who and what you want
and vote for it.

LANE FAVORS A
BIG LAND PLAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-In his
annual report Secretary Of the In
terror Lane recommends the imme-
diate development Of arid, swamp
and cut-over lands to provide farms
for returning soldiers.
Other features of his reconstruc-
tion program include improvement of
the public school system to provide
for Americanization Of foreign-born
citizens and education to illiterate
mountain white populations and ne
groes. Schools, he added, should
lay more emphasis on teaching
trades.
OF immediate Importance is the
proposal that the government sys-
tematically go about the work of
providing work for soldiers on exist
ing irrigation projects in the west.
Later, more extensive reclamation
of waste land should be put under
way, and small farms sold to soldiers
by the government on long-term
payment plan.
By systematic government devel-
opment of idle lands, said Mr. Lane,
there will be provided immediate
jobs for these men, labor markets
will be protected against possible
collapse by being swamped with
surplus of labor re-established in
dustries will be supplied with an
immediate demand for their pro-
ducts, the movement of population
to cities will be checked, many "best
proven Americans" will be affixed
permanently to agricultural occupa-
tions, and great areas of land now
neglected and valueless will be
brought into use.
GAS an immediate program" said
the Secretary, "we should first of
fer an opportunity upon our present
irrigation projects for all who wish
work of clearing and leveling the
land not now cultivated, but for
which water is available, or to which
water can be brought under the pres
ent irrigation system, and that such
tracts shall be developed under an
appropriate land-settlement plan.
This we can do at once and meet
whatever labor problem may be i'm
mediate.
Turning to the question of cost,
Secretary Lane said:
would it be unreasonable to ask
that we spend in the next two years
on these veterans of the great war
as much as it cost US to conduct
that war for single week? Would
a people that gave to quasi-public
organizations, $5OO,00O,0O0 for the
entertainment and care of these boys
hesitate to buy the bonds of this
country for a like amount to pro-
vide peace work, home work and
homes for these same boys?"
Mr.. Lane declared that in the
United States there are more than
200,000000 acres of waste land
which can be made into farms.

whether they want to or not. But In
this battle prisoners became part Of
the army for while, and were sent
back whenever anybody had time to
sort them into long professions.
One American division kept Ger
man musicians to play for /. forslev-
eral days. Several companies had
while, boches up to the rank of SER
geants who were glad OF the job, and
another divisions advanced party
used German food, German cooks, and
German walters, all experts in their
own lines.
Boches came in such quantities a.
round division headquarters that only
a small proportion of them could be
examined to get military information
of immediate value. From every
woods and village came boches, until
the American officers ran out of re-
ceipts for them. It used to be that
no doughboy would ever give up his
prisoner until he got receipt at di-
vision headquarters. One unit tells
how big batch OF Germans formed
themselves into a line four abreast
and fell in behind a groupe already
taken, marching rearward: The for
mality of surrendering was not neces-

collecting place of prisoners. From
all points where they are captured,
boches are sent there. When the
number ran UP to two or three hun
dred, three or four doughboys were
assigned to take the captives further
back. usually to corps headquarters.
From the corps the Germans were
marched back to the nearest "pen." =.
They thought enough pens had
been built along the front to care for
Germans who fell into American
hands. But pens were crowded and

turns were all in, and you witnessed
