CLAIR HUNT FINDS STONE
OF HISTORICAL INTEREST

Commissioner Clair Hunt brought
home with him from Sheep creek a
few days ago piece of stone weigh
ing about $50 pounds. 1t was first
discovered by Mr.. Hunt and his
companions when excavating a
gravel bank in constructing an ap-
proach to the Sheep creek bridge.
This stone, which was brought down
from the north in the path of a
glacier, is thought by Mr.. Hunt to
be the work of a prehistoric race
of people in an attempt to make an
idol.
The stone has been worked on
with crude tools to resemble a bust
of human being. A rough at
tempt had been made to carve a
face and neck 1t is not the work
of Indians, according to Mr.. Hunt,
swho has made study of their art
and racial characteristics. His
small daughter regards the stone as
"just stone," but Mr.. Hunt states
that she has not sufficient apprecia-
tion of geological and scientific
study to enjoy with him his newly
found "idol."

CIRCUS AN EXPLOIT
OF ANIMAL TRAINING

The AL G. Barnes circus will be
well remembered to Colville from
the excellent performance given
a few years ago, and is scheduled
to arrive in the early hours of June
Is.
The show in all its newness and
brilliant coloring, together with the
new and novel attractions, should be
a real treat. The circus went to
winter quarters at Venice last Octo-
ber and the four winter months were
utilized in renewing and refurnish
ing the equipment and working out
new animal feature acts, as the
show is primarily wild animal ex-
hibit.
The big opening feature this sea
son is a vertiable fairyland fantasy,
"Alice in Jungleland." Mr.. Barnes
has taken Lewis Carols character
"Alice' from wonderland and trans
ported her into the realistic realms
of wonderland. The arenic setting
is rustic bench on lawn where
Alice falls asleep, two fairies ap-
pearing and waving their wands
over her. Instantly king ap-
pears, properly and gorgeously
throned, and orders jungleland
brought to "Alce." Then begins
the hippodrome pageant scintilating
with rare~ jewels and laces of queens
and kings with royal equipage, ele-
plants with mahouts in typical jun
gle outfittings and their rajahs in
howdahs, caravans of camels, herds
of zebras, droves of llamas, golden
cages of lions, tigers, pumas, leop-
ards, sacred oxen, hideous hyenas,
and hundreds of magnificently ca
parisoned horses ranging from the
wee Shetland pony to the big Nor
man and showy Arabian, monkeys
cutting capers, pigs with clowns
riding them, mules, etc.
Following the big opening specta-
Gle, arenas and sawdust circles will
be filed with amazing and astound-
ing performing wild and domestic
beasts with women and men in
structors, for Barnes animals are
not merely trained, but scientifically
educated. There will be parade at
1890. Doors open at | and 7.

this is to help strengthen the or
ganiZatiOn.
The world interest in the Boy
Scout movement challenges the in
telligent understanding of everyone,
and yet people still ask "what do
Boy Scouts do" The boy scout
idea is movement rather than an
organization and aims to supplement
existing organizations such as home,
church and school by engaging the
boys leisure energies in outdoor
games and activities of cultural and
practical value. Scouting is the
process of making real men out of
real boys by a real program which
works.
There is a troop of Boy Scouts in
Colville under the leadership of
Quinn w. McCord. Ask any of the
Boy Scouts what scouting is and
what they do. You saw the work
they did in the Victory loan? That
is the spirit they show in all their
work. Let the boys tell you about
what a Boy Scout has to do and you
will be glad to help them by becom-
ing an associate member.
