INDUSTRY
PUSHING AHEAD
COLVILLE MARBLE & GRANITE
COMPANY ENLARGES NEW
QUARTERS
Says County Granite Equal TO Any
in United States-InstalI
Modern Machinery

With larger quarters and new ma
chinery, the Colville Marble and
Granite Company is establishing an
industry which shows the resources
and opportunities of Stevens county
in both minerals and manufacturing.
The company plant occupies the Fry
church building on North Main in
Colville, and is building an addition
in the rear for the machinery. The
building will be 30x100 when fin
ished.
The new machinery comprises the
up-to-date equipment for work of
this nature and includes stone-cut-
ting machine, polishing mill, an
air compressor, pneumatic tools, and
granite surfacing machine. 1t is
partly installed and the company is
constructing a concrete floor for that
part of the factory in which the ma
chinery is located. The Colville
Marble and Granite Company expects
to have seven men on the payroll.
For ten years Colville has had the
only marble and granite works north
of Spokane, and under the previous
management did most of the busi-
ness in this territory. The new
company foresees an increase in
output because of the improved ia
cilities for manufacturing and con-
Quoting the business. Monuments,
mausoleums and cemetery work are
to be the principal work at the
plant. Cement curbing and cement
bases for cemeteries will also be in
cluded.
Of interest to Colville people is the
statement made by members Of the
company that they intend to use
native granite as much as possible.
They say there are good deposits
around Colville and that the local
granite compares favorably with
any eastern or foreign granite. Near
Colville are found both the light and
the dark gray granite. The dark
gray is said to be second to none
in the United States. 1t takes a
high, glossy finish and is free from
foreign minerals. The light gray
is very fine and looks well in bush
hammered or rock-faced work.
1t will be another month before
the company will have it's plant
completely equipped. The office
quarters are being finished at present.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
ACCOMPLISHING MUCH WORK

The agricultural department Of
the Colville high school is making a
fine showing Of it's work in spite of
the Interruptions that have occurred.
A total of twenty-three students
have been enrolled in the two classes
that are being taught by Prof. e.
E. Elliott and the attendance has
been we'll maintained.
The first-year class has been
steadily at work with the course in
animal husbandry and at the pres
ent time is studying dairying and
doing milk testing. They will be
glad to make individual tests for
patrons of the school and others who
wish it, without charge.
The second-year class is composed
Of five young ladies and four men,
and during the present semester
has taken up course in horticul-
ture. They are busily engaged in
making plans for the spring out-of-
door work which will include all
phases of planting propagation,
pruning and grating, making cold
frames and gardening, together with
some study of Horticulture and land
scape gardening. If any of the
town people should come home and
find their fruit trees all trimmed and
put into shape, they may conclude
that the members of this class have
been paying them a visit.
In addition to their school work,
each student in both these courses
has home project which may con-
tinue throughout the summer. The
department has recently added a
considerable number of new books
and has a large working library.

interior has been redecorated in har-
monizing shades of brown and
show window of beaver board has
been constructed. The window is
to be the display of leading Stevens
county products, including grasses,
grains, fruits, metals, clay products,
etc. Besides these, Mr.. Ide has a
collection of silver cups, gold, bronze
and silver medals, certificates, etc,
which have been received by Stevens
county displays at various fairs and
shows. Mr.. Ide, who has been in
the real estate business in the coun-
ty for about twenty years, has had
charge of local displays at many of
the fairs and states that the prod
ucts of this county always attract
attention and win their share Of the
awards. Among the loving cups
in Mr.. Ide's collection is one won by
Stevens county at the Minneapolis
corn show, one from the Spokane
corn show, one from the national
apple show in Spokane in 1909 and
cup won by the Colville band in
1913 in band contest at Spokane.
At the A. Y. p. exposition in Seattle,
the county won nine gold medals,
twelve silver and sixteen bronze.
That the real estate market is
going to be active during the COM
ing summer, is the opinion of the
veteran land dealer. He states
that he is receiving many inquiries
in regard to homesteads and other
lands from returned soldiers, who
are anxious to get onto the soil.
Tna5s Stevens county boys are ad-
vertisers for the county, is seen in
letter received by Mr. Ide from an
Iowa soldier. He wrote that boy
from this county had told him of
this part of the West and that he
would like to get some timber land
here and get to work clearing the
same.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ide formerly had
their offices in the Lane building.

THE REVISED VERSION

(By the Overseas Soldier)
Our father who art in Washington,
Hallowed' be thy name;
We drove the Hun
To kingdom come.
Thy work was done
On earth as 'twould be in heaven.
Give us this day
All our back pay,
And lead us not into the army of
occupation,
But deliver us from all details and
fatigues,
And forgive us all our A. w. o. LIS
AS we forgive the men with the bars
Who have marked such against us;
For thou hast the power
To return us to the States,
And leave us there forever and ever.
Amen.

When Washington Was Abused.

In the Morris house on August II,
1895, Washington signed the Jay treaty
with England, losing thereby most of
his remnant Of support in the house of
representatives. Abuse eliminated in
the serious suggestion to impeach him.
The constitution having for obvious
reasons confined the treaty making
power to the executive and the SEN
ate, Washington refused to grant the
request of the house of representatives
for the correspondence leading up to
the treaty. The storm of indignation
that followed did not spare even his
personal character. "A Calm Observ-
er" stated in a newspaper that Wash
lngton had stolen $4,750.
