STATE BUREAU MAKES
REPORTS ON COUNTY

The state bureau of inspection
and supervision of public offices--an
awfully long name in these busy
days of reconstruction, and a name
which has been quite commonly and
more or less properly contracted to
the board of inaccuracy"-has, at
cost of $406.10 (the 10 cents
probably being for Colville street
car fare) compiled and dutifully
sent to the auditor of Stevens coun-
ty a report of this county's finances
for the year 1918. This report
comprises III pages of typewriter
manuscript, and while not claiming
to be worth the money it cost, sets
forth in detail a large number of
things which were printed in the
Examiner several months ago in the
auditors report, and which nobody
but the underpaid auditor ever
reads.
The report starts with an inven-
tory of the county officials, listing
l2 of them, whereas the county
auditor found Fl of them for his re-
port. No wonder our money goes
fast, if the auditor is carrying 9
more officials on the payroll than
the state bureau could find. And
this has nothing to do with the
deputies, either.
The county commissioners for
1918 are credited with keeping the
warrant expenditures under the bud
get and making a net gain of ST.
978.2i. This sounds pretty good

FOR COUGAR
Il. r. LAKIN SHOOTS AND KILLS
JACOB FORTUNE IN
UNDERBRUSH
G. A. X. Veteran Meets Death
Through NeighbOr's Mistake
In Darkness

Thinking he was shooting at a
cougar, B. r. Lakin shot and killed
Jacob H. Fortune, II years of age,
at the home of Mr.. Fortunes daugh-
ter Mrs. Rosa B. Flint, three miles
west of Colville about nine o'clock
Wednesday evening The story, as
related by Mr.. Lakin, is as follows:
about nine o'clock Mrs. Flint
came to my house and stated that a
cougar was in the brush near her
coral threatening an attack on her
calves and requested me to come
over Immediately, as she was with
out help. | took my rifle, a 25-35,
and returned with her. She point
ed the way and l saw an object in
the brush. fired the shot and
as there was no 0utcry, | felt safe
in going in, when to my surprise,
found Mr.. Fortune lying on the
ground mortally wounded with, a
bullet which had entered under his
left shoulder blade"
Mr.. Lakin said that the wounded
man was conscious when he went to
him in the brush. Fortune made
no explanation why he was there at
that time of the night He lived
alone a half-mile away and it was
his custom to spend part of the
time with his daughter Mrs. Flint.
1t is thought he may have fallen in
fainting. spell and remained there
suffering for some time before he
was wounded. An ambulance was
called from Colville and he was TAX
en- to the hospital, where he died
early Thursday morning. DR.. r. +.
Goetter took charge Of the patient.
The deceased was a veteran of
the civil war, serving in the 1872
Indiana infantry in the Union army.
He was member of the John NJ.
Corse post, G. A. r., Colville. He
leaves daughter Mrs. Rosa B.
Flint, and three sons, Charles H.,
Frank and Francis M. Fortune, all
of Colville. Funeral arrangements

BARGHOORN TO SPEND TIME
ON NEW BANK INTERESTS

Sikko Barghoorn, who has recent
ly acquired controlling interests in
the Colville Loan and Trust COM
pany and in the Central Bank and
Trust company of Yakima, plans to
sever his official connections with
the Netherlands-Ameri Mortgage
bank, of which he has been Spokane
agent, June /. Mr.. Barghoorn
plans to devote his time to his out
of-town bank interests, while con-
tinuing to make Spokane his head
quarters.
That he would make no change
in the heads of the two institutions
in which he had just purchased the
controlling interest, was a statement
made Tuesday. He said both H. c.
Davis, president Of the Yakima in
stitution, and George W. Seal, pres
ident of the Colville Loan and Trust
company, are hustling business get
ters and will continue actively in
charge of the respective companies.
He stated that he would spend con-
siderable time in Yakima and would
also be in Colville frequently. Pur-
chase of the control in these two
banks is but the beginning of a
program to secure other banks in
good locations in the agricultural
districts tributary to Spokane, ac-
cording to Mr.. Barghoorn. He
stated that these transactions would
be good for the communities which
they are entering and for Spokane,
and would tend to tie Spokane and
the centers of population in the sur
rounding territory more closely
together.

for the three men who labored SO
faithfully last year. But the report
does not disclose where this excess
money is hidden.
The superior courts expenditures
were $6,812 less than the estimates,
which is stated as being a "most
extraordinary showing" Judge d.

was prosecutor last year, were evil
IDENTIFY out to make a war record)
The report might have gone on and
truthfully said that these were
"most extraordinary" men, but in
years past the bureau got so round
ly scored for praising officials in
various counties that they may not
have known just how far to go in
this case. If Donley hadn't spent
that 1882 for books and stationery,
might have gotten a medal from the
bureau.
The treasurer's office "cannot be
too highly recommended" according
to the report. But the trouble is,
this commentator doesn't make up
for the lost sleep Sill sustained in
doing the work of the office with
one regular deputy and such other
varied and spasmotic assistance as
he could gather during the war.

Liston, but Mr.. Liston was unable
to complete the repairs because of
the necessity for using the tractor
and grader on the Aladdin road.
Work is now going on, however,
to repair the remainder of the road
and the entire road to the lakes will
be in first class condition before
the end of the month. This and
the fact that the main road south
of Colville is in the best condition
it has ever been, promises that the
popularity of the lakes as resort
will be even greater this coming
summer, than in previous seasons.

DAYLIGHT REPEAL LAW
AGAIN PASSES SENATE
Measure Will Run Gantlet Of Presi.
dental Veto Second Time.-Oemo.
Gratis Supporting Move

Washington. Aug. ?. The senate
yesterday decided to have the propo-
sal for repeal of the daylight saving
law again run the gantlet of Presi-
dent Wilson's veto. BY a vote Of II
to L. the senate passed and sent to
the president the separate house bill
repeating the daylight saving measure.
During brief discussion of the house
bill several senators predicted the
measure. like the daylight repeal rid.
or on the agricultural appropriation
bill, would be vetoed by the president.
The separate house bill was passed
June Is. but action in the senate was
suspended until yesterday. and in the
interim the president vetoed the rider
and the house was unable to enact it
over the veto.
The Senate's action now places vir-
tualy similar repeal legislation again
before the president. The only diff
ference in the vetoed rider and the
separate bill is that the latter would
not interfere with standard zones Of
time.
