OLD DOMINION I.
TO Be REOPENED
FAMOUS SILVER MINE NEAR
COLvILLE TO SEE ACTIV-
ITY ONCE MORE
Litigation to Be Settled in Spokane
This Week, and Linney to
Return to the Mine

The Old Dominion mine, which has
formed a historical background for
Colville activities during many years,
and which in earlier days furnished
the financial resources of the COM
munity, will enter into another stage
of history this week at the meeting
which is to be held in Spokane by
the representatives of the various
interests which hold claims on the
property.
The Old Dominion mine is to be
reopened. A settlement of all con-
troversies is to be made this week,
and R. E. Lee, who has been re-
ceiver of the property during the
disputes of the last three years,
will have his cares released.
The Old Dominion Mining and
Milling company died as a corpora
ton in 1910. A total of 3,5OO,OOO
shares out of the 100000 shares in
the company was owned by F. w.
Peck and his associates in Chicago.
According to law, the ownership of
the property reverted to the trustees
of the defunct corporation for the
benefit of creditors and stockholders.
When w. H. Linney and his asso-
ciates formed the Dominion Silver
Lead Mining Co. and took a tax
title to the property, the trustees of
the old company were not served by
summons. The Peck interests there
fore took steps to retain title to
the property, and through the law
firm of Carey & johnson, and later
through Atty. w. Lon Johnson,
carried the matter through the Spo-
kane superior court, where they lost,
to the supreme court, where they
won back the title to the property.
The company organized by Lin
ney had spent about $4,000 in OPEN
ing the tunnels, cleaning the shafts,
and prospecting the mountain, be-
fore the title was wrested from it
by the supreme courts decision.
The various conflicting interests
in the ownership are now to be
brought together for a settlement,
and as it is desired by all parties
to resume operation, either new
company will be formed, or the Lin
ney corporation known as the Do
minion Silver-Lead Mining Co. will
be used, to apportion stock according
to just claims. The Peck interests
will .retain the largest part of the
stock, but Mr.. Linney will be the
manager, he being recognized as one
of the best mining engineers in the
west.
At the meeting in Spokane this
week, Atty. w. Lon johnson repre-
sents the Peck interests, Attys. Win
ston, Allen & Winston represent the
interests of G. B. Dennis, and Atty.
A. E. Gallager remains as the legal
representative of w. H. Linney and
his company.
Mr.. Linney is now in California,
but expects to return within two
months and take active charge of
the property. He believes that the
Old Dominion will again develop in
to rich property.

QUESTION OF CITY WATER
is NOT YET SOLVED

The question of water, especially
at this season of the year, has al
ways been one Of interest to the
people of Colville. Most Of the
time the city has an adequate sup
ply of this element, but as the
mountains are denuded of the forests
it is quite noticeable that the water
supply gradually diminishes in the
flow of springs from which our
present supply is obtained. This
is not saying that we have not a
plentiful supply of water for all

- HOW LUDENDoRFF- GOT AWAY
Oondon Times)

(IOndon Times)
 While in Berlin I heard the authentic story of Ludendorff's escape. says a correspondent. Two days before the revolution he was hiding in civilian clothes in a little pension in the city. A certain nobleman from the eastern marches of the empire, who in the past had frequently opposed Ludendorff's reckless policy and therefore got him. self into considerable trouble, heard where he was an decided that he must be assisted to escape. He procured a passport in a false name, drove round 10 the pension and sent his orderly up 10 fetch Ludendorff. Ludendorff. how ever, refused to leave the house. The next day the gentleman returned to make another attempt. On the way the car was stopped by picket of the soldiers and Workmen's council and the passport had to be thrown into the gutter in order to avoid discovery
 On arriving at the pension the order " was sent up again with a razor and sombrero and instructions to shave off Ludendorffs mustache, put the sombrero on his head and bring him down at all costs. The instructions were carried out. How Germany's military dictator subsequently, crossed he frontier without any passport and where he went cannot be told vet, but 1t is fact that he has no longer a mustache. So ends Prussian militar- ism, the legacy which Frederick the Great left to the world.

DISPOSAL OF BOOKS A PROBLEM

(From the New York Times) sa Now that the American armies are being demobiliZed, the American Li- brarians' Association is considering what shall be done with the 3b million books in the soldiers and sailors li- braries here and overseas. Various pro- posals have been under consideration but the one which is getting the most support, it is said, is to give the books 10 towns of the southern states which have no libraries. The advocates of this proposal point out that the northern cities and most of the western cities are already well equipped with librar- ies while this is not true of many towns of the South When the armis tice was signed in November, the American Library Association had a total of 2,407 libraries and branches in operation in the United States and in |. France. Of these. forty three were full sized libraries in buildings of their own in the cantonments and large military reservations in the United States. with about thirty-five thousand books in each.

Here's a Pig Can Climb
ALI Walls With Ease

A pig that can climb fence OF
side of a building with all the ease
of cat is the freak porker that
belongs to Andrew Muster, of Josen-
town, N. Y.
Until the apple season the pig was
of the large sty in Muster's back
yard. Then, like Eve, his tempta-
ton for the forbidden fruit got the
better Of him. Muster discovered
him sitting upon his launches on
top of the roof of an outbuilding
calmly eating apples from the dam
Cling limbs of a nearby tree.
The rof being several feet from
the ground, Muster's assumption was
that the pig was aided in climbing
it by a nearby pile of dirt. So he
leveled the pile off even with the
rest of the terrain. But was the
athletic porlker foiled?
1t was not. Within an hour Mus
ter found it in its former vantage
point placidly munching apples. Then
he learned the secret of the pigs
climbing ability. 1t had routed
about in the dirt he had lately tre-
moved and kicked it into a pile high
enough to enable it to make the as
cent of the roof.
Intelligence hadn't ought to ga
unrewarded even in a pig" said Mus
ter. And 1 now let it eat all Yhe
apples it wants. Besides, this feed
is as cheep as bran and fattens the
pig much better. L only wish that
my other hogs would develop the
same ability"

Wealthy Indian Wants
Postmaster lOneS Receives

Eastman Richards, reputed to be
Oklahoma's richest Indian, is not
capable of managing his own affairs,
in the opinion Of j. c. Davis, Greek
national attorney, and Frank Mont
gomery, probate attorney, who have
instituted proceedings in the McIn-
tosh county court, at Checotah, Okla.
Richards, however, is opposing the
petition, insisting that he should
continue to be his own boss. Wit
nesses for Richards contended that
the Indian has not squandered his
money, but has invested it wisely
in building the town which has been
named for him and in making other
improvements in the community.
A bank, cotton gin, waterworks
for Richardsville, a bridge across
Deep Fork river, the longest bridge
in Mcintosh county-these are few
of the things for which Richards
spent his money and for which the
Indian agency at Muskogee is
charging him with incompetency,
they declared.
Gabe E. Parker, superintendent for
the five civilized tribes, however,
on the witness stand, said that the
government had granted Richards
100000 since, 1915 and that of this
amount $174.000 worth Of property
and $4,000 liabilities were all that
Richards had left.

Marshal FoCh ForeSees
Another War Crisis Later

"The next time England will be
in the same position as the last
time-she will not be ready, and we
will have to wait for her" is a
statement made by Marshal Foch, of
France, to correspondent of the
Daily Mail which printed recently
an interview with the communicating
chief of the allied armies.
Marshal Foch, in the course Of
the interview, however, pays highest
tribute to the British army, saying:
The@>military history of the world
contains no parallel to the produce
ton of such an army in such way.
In every respect the British ARMY
has been superb"
The marshal insists sthN Great
Britain should maintain large re-
serves of military materially saying;
That is one of the obvious and In
dispensable precautions to be taken.x
Look at the out of date equip
ment with which we started this
war;" the marshal is quoted as say
ing. "The next war will be more
than ever one of machinery. You
should have laboratories with inven-
tors always at work keeping your
abreast of the mechanical side Of
