COLVILLE PEOPLE ATTEND
INCHELIUM CELEBRATION

The Colville band under the drec-

according to spectators, was going SO
fast that if he hadn't stopped it,
would still be travelling.
Among those who watched the con-

CHILDREN IN BARN ESCAPE
INJURY WHEN BLOWN DOWN

Velma and Kendall Hockett, daugh-
ter and son of B. F. HOckett, Martha
Hagan and Carol Ledgerwood, little
two-year-old daughter of Neal Led
gerwood, bookkeeper for Barmans,
narrowly escaped injury Friday af-
ternoon when wind and dust storm
caused the collapse of the hay barn
in which they were playing.
The older children, with the baby in
their charge, were watching Mr.. Hook
EFT make hay when the dust storm
became severe. They went into the
barn which belonged to Theodore
Rusch and which is about mile south
Of Colville. They had made a little
nest for the baby and were just set
Ting down in the hay when they
heard a cracking sound. The barn
came crashing down upon them and it
is considered remarkable that such
slight injuries resulted.
A board fell on Martha Hagen and
Kendall Hockett had his knees bruised.
But eight inches saved the baby from
a big piece of timber, according to the
story of Velma Hockett. The barn
was blown down just as Mr.. Hockett
was finishing his work and preparing
to take the children home. The
youngsters were very much frightened
when it was all over. "There wasn't
time to be frightened while it was
happening" said Velma.

present at the meeting June % and
says: "The truth of the matter is
that the average citizen of Chewelah,
as well as other sections of eastern
Washington, fails utterly to realize
the seriousness of the present situa-
ton, or the absolute necessity of con-
tributing to the financial aid of the
government at this time, to the very
greatest extent of his ability. And
the reason of their failure to realize
these facts is due to the general ap-
athy of the people to attend gather
ings of this sort and inform them
selves of the true conditions now ex-
isting. l.. C. Jesseph of Colville, who
spoke at the meeting last Friday eve
ming, delivered an address that would
have opened the eyes of these un-
thinking citizens, could they have
heard it, and it is certainly no credit
to them that they We're not present
to hear it."
Springdale went over the top in the
w. S. S. drive, exceeding by $5 her
quota of $4,000. The Springdale
Reformer, in an account of the cam
pagn says that credit is due the
untiring workers, and adds chat they
may have the full measure of credit
to which they are entitled, the Re-
former suggests that the Colville pa
pers take their figures for the amount
subscribed here from this article, in
order that the same may be correctly
stated and the town of Springdale be
not robbed of the credit to which it is
justly entitled, as it has been repeat
edly by the county seat papers in the
past" That the workers may have
the full credit to which they are en-
titled, and that they may be abso-
lutely authentic, the Examiner here
takes the figures from the Springdale
Reformer.

TWO men MEET
INSTANT DEATH
WAGON IN WHICH MEN ARE
RIDING
Boy Escapes Death Because He Had
Got Down From Wagon to Get
Drink of Water

Failure to see the northbound pas
senger train approaching the cross
roads, probably due to the severe dust
storm, resulted in the death of two
young men and a horse Monday eve
ming near the magneste plant south
of Chewelah. The wagon in which
they were riding, drawn by four
horse team, was struck by the train
travelling at high rate of speed and
carried for distance of 800 feet.
One man was thrown out and instant
ly killed and the other stayed in the
wagon while it was being carried by
the cow-catcher, and never regained
consciousness.
Charles Komar, son of George Ko-
mar of Chewelah, and Ebert Lock-
head of Spokane, who had but re-
Gently come to Chewelah for employ
ment, were the victims of the acci-
dent. Harrison Cox, fifteen year.
old boy who had been in the wagon,
escaped death because he had left the
vehicle to get drink just before they
came to the crossing. At the inquest
he testified that he did not see the
train or hear it whistle.
Before J. C. Rigg, county coroner,
an inquest was held at Chewelah
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. 1t
was conducted by l.. B. Donley, Ste
vens county prosecuting attorney. A
number of witnesses were examined
and verdict rendered. but no attempt
was made to fix the responsibility.
The testimony as to whether or not
the train blew a whistle before COM
ing to the crossing, was conflicting.
1t was brought out, however, that the
train was travelling at high rate of
speed. The track where the accident
occurred is straight for considerable
distance, and it is said that the boys
had about two hudred feet in which to
see the approach of the train.
Passengers crowded out of the train
upon its stop to see what had hap
pened An interview with some of
them on the arrival of the train at
Colville, developed the fact that the
passengers felt no shock when the
wagon was struck.
"The first thing saw" said one
of the passengers, twas an immense
cloud of dust and horses running by
with their harness flying. 1t was at
the cross road going into the mag
nestle mine about mile south of Che
welah. Three of the four horses had
broken loose and tore wildly down the
track The fourth one was killed.
"When the train stopped, everyone
crowded out to see what had hap
pened. We saw one horse lying on
the track and man with his head
badly crushed lying in pool of blood.
1t was terrible sight. The other
man who had been carried in the wag-
on on the cowcatcher was unconscious.
They summoned doctor at Chewelah.
There was nurse on the train and
she tried to help, but it was too late
to do anything"

COLVILLE CAN

OPINION
Full Report of Districts Not Available

wakes up to the necessity, is the opin-
ion of the workers in the War Saw
ings Stamp drive, when asked wheth
er Colville will ever reach her allot-
ed quota in the campaign. The
county chairmen say that Colville has
not set good example for the small
er districts. The campaign is not
closed, they say emphatically, and it
will not stop until all the county
quotas are reached
1t was impossible as yet to obtain
the reports of the various districts
in the county. Many had not
reached their quota, some were not
fully checked up, and it will be some
time before any accurate results can
be published. Some districts have
done surprisingly well, however, ac-
cording to the statement of Hugh
Waddell, county chairman, and O. w.
Noble, assistant chairman.
Pledges Many but Small
The biggest difficulty has not been
in securing a large number of sub
scriptions, but in obtaining subscrip-
tions which represent the most which
the individual can do. 1t doesn't
seem quite clear yet that some saw
ing or eliminating of expense in or.
der to purchase stamps to the limit
of ones ability is expected of every
adult in each school district. 1t has
been evident that in some cases the
pledger has figured what his quot;
would be as one of certain number
of individuals to raise the amount,
and carefully limited his subscription
to that sum.
The above procedure means that
the would-be-patriot has left out of
consideration the large number OF
widows and pensioned mothers and
poverty-stricken people who cannot
invest their full quota. If he could
see how near their limit some of
these people have given in drives, he
would be ashamed not to invest in War
Savings Stamps up to his limit.
Many persons have expressed
their surprise at the rapidity with
which they have been able to acquire
their stamps since they have begun
to save for this purpose. They have
regretted not subscribing more heav-
lily. They may increase their sub
scriptions at any time and help Col
vile go over the top in manner be-
fitting her position as the county
seat town.
With the War Savings Stamps
there have come into the light many
unique ideas for saving. Every one
seems TO have bank of some kind
now, even if it is but the old cracked
sugar bowl on the shelf, for their
small change. It's wonderful how
it counts up. Every time you do with
out something or buy an article which
is Il wee bit less expensive, try enter
ing the amount in little book and
putting that amount in your little
cracked bowl or child's bank or what
ever you may have chosen in which
to put your w. S. S. funds.
These Reached Quota
Marcus exceeded it's quota of $4,000
in the W. S. S. campaign by nearly

Chairman J. S. Lane.

PLAN SPRING GARDEN NOW
Agricultural Department Says There
Will Be Need for Large Pro-

Washington.-Take thought Of the
spring garden now.
Notwithstanding the large produc-
ton Of vegetables last year and the
great volume put into cans and jars
for winter use. there is nothing TO in
dicate that there will not be equal
need for production and conservation
in 1918, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Many gardens failed last year be-
cause of poor soil or poor preparation
or both.
This is the time in many sections
to break and to ferti!iZe. Then il
the spring it will be easier to make
the seedbcd and the soil will contain
plant food
For the average householder it viii
be sufficient to prepare ground enough
to produce the home supply for eat
ing in the fresh state and for can
ming. drying or brining for use during
the following winter. Producing veg
etables for market should not be un-
dertaken without full knowledge of
horticulture and sufficient capital and
equipment.

Relaxed Game Laws.

New York.-Grave perils threaten
the agriculture of the United States
through the indiscriminate slaughter
of birds and of wild life, according to
statement issued by the, directors OF
the National Association of Audubon
Societies.
Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson, the secre-
tary of the association, in making pub
lie resolutions adopted by the board
of directors. said that unless every eff
fort is made to enforce all game pro-
lection laws. the resulting unrestrain-
ed activities of gunners and pOt-hunt-
ers would soon destroy the natural
foes Of insects and of rodent pests and
Of weeds.
The crops will save the nation"
says the offica! statement, "and the
birds will help to save the crops In
this national crisis, America is looked
upon by our allies as the granary OF
the world and the source Of food
which must sustain the fighters in the
months of struggle yet to come. There
fore every effort should be made to
increase the yield of our fields.

serving the wild life Of this country,
