BUSINESS men
ALL TO PARADE
COLVILLE FIRMS PLAN FLOATS
FOR FOURTH OF JULY
PROCESSION
Capable Men on Committees Busy
Preparing Entertainment
For Crowds

Practically every business house in
Colville has signified its intention
to help make the Fourth of July in
Colville one of the biggest celebra-
tions the city has ever seen. When
those who would have floats in the
Fourth of July parade signed up
with the entertainment committee,
it found that almost every business
would be represented. The stores
are to be closed all day the Fourth.
Committees have been appointed to
make definite plans for entertain
ment. In charge of the parade are
P. H. Johnson and Rolla Willett.
The speaking and singing program
is in the hands of B. w. Emery
and c. C. Casey. This will take
place in the park opposite the city
hall. Mike Wright is to be at the
head of the committee to plan street
sports that will keep the crowds
amused. James Bowling, manager
of the Colvile baseball team, has
charge of the baseball events and
states that a game has been arrang-
ed with Northport for the Fourth
of July. Dr.. J. J. Ingle, George
Roth and Earle T. Gates have been
appointed as a committee to plan
auto stunts. Band concert arrange
ments are under the management of
M. w. Meyer. The dance committee
is in the hands of the entire en-
tertainment committee Of the Cham
Der of Commerce, of which l.. S.
Thurber is chairman.
The day will begin with sunrise
salute and the parade which prom
ises to be a winner, will take place
in the morning. Commander l.. B.
Donley has promised to join in the
parade arrangements with the men,
bers of the Sons of Democracy or
ganization of returned soldiers and
sailors. Altogether, when the various
committees complete their plar&
there is going to be something
doing" the Fourth of July in Col
vile.
1t is said that many people are
planning to spend the Fourth in Col
vile before going on to Inchelium
to attend their celebration, and Col
vile intends to be prepared for its
visitors. The Chamber of Commerce,
will welcome any ideas which cit
liens can offer for making the day
a real celebration. Most Colville
people will spend the day in
town and all those who fail to do
so, will surely miss a good time.

CIRCUS DEPOPULATES
SMALLER COMMUNITIES

All the little towns around Col
vile were quite depopulated yester-
day when their inhabitants came in
steady stream to Colville to see
the Barnes circus. Each Of the Ely
aminer's correspondents wrote that
their communities were planning to
visit the big tented performances.
The children were eager to see all
the wild animals and the Fairyland
act "Alice in Jungleland," while the
grOWnupS knew that going to a cir
Gus is sure way to feel young
again.
A glittering street parade in the
morning found the streets lined
with spectators, and the main tent
was wep filled for the afternoon
performance. The sideshows with
the inevitable freaks, pink lemonade
and all that goes with circus were
there. The animals, however, we've
the main attraction.
The Barnes circus has always had
the reputation of good band, and
the animal acts in the big show are
controlled by band music. The big
marine band this year is composed
of returned marines and soldiers.
Colville stores did rushing busi-
ness yesterday and the day before.
Many out-of-town visitors were to
be seen on the streets Thursday. a
number Of Indians took in the show

Today Is Flag Day

Let the Stars and Stripes float
proudly from your homes and bust
ness houses today. 1t is flag
which has led us in a glorious VIC
tory for the cause of Democracy
and Liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher has given US
in prose fine statement of the sig
nificance of our flag:
"Our flag carries American ideas,
American history, and American
feelings. Beginning with the colo
nies and running down to our own
times, in its sacred heraldry, in its
glorious insignia, it has gathered and
stored chiefly this supreme idea:
Divine right of liberty in man.
Every color means liberty; every
form of star and beam or stripe Of
light means liberty; not lawlessness,
not license; but organized, constitu-
tional liberty, liberty through laws
and laws for liberty"

PLAN TO SELL
FAIR BUILDINGS
COUNTY PETITIONED TO SELL
STRUCTURES ON FORMER
FAIRGROUNDS
Days of Big County Fairs Called to
Mind-COlville the Scene OF
Many Horse Races

Days when the old Playground east
of Coville was the scene of big dis
plays of Stevens county products,
when the grandstand was filled with
people to watch the horse racing,
and other contests, are called wildly
to mind by the old-timer upon re-
ceiving the news that the old build
ings on the grounds are about to
be sold by the county. The Stevens
County Livestock Association has Pc
ttioned the county commissioners to
sell the Playground buildings and
the association hopes to purchase
and remove them to the site in the
southwest part of town used for the
stock shows. 1t has been suggested
that the old fairgrounds would be
a suitable place for the county home.
These old fairgrounds, taken over
by the county several years ago,are
surrounded by beautiful green trees
and are considered one of the most
scenic spots in the valley, while the
race track was said to have been
one of the best on the circuit. The
grounds were purchased by the Ste
vens County Producers Association
in 1902 when the organization held
its first fair. That July the con-
struction of buildings and race track
was begun, and by September all
were finished and the grounds fenced
ready for the fair.
The Stevens County Producers
Association first held its fairs at
Meyers Falls, but as there was need
of additional accommodations for
visitors, Colville was asked to care
for the fairs. The late M. w. Teeple
of Meyers Falls was the first pres
ident, and G. B. Ide the first man
ager of the association. When the
organization held its fairs at the
new grounds, large crowds came
each year, and they became big
advertising medium for Stevens
county. Exhibits from these fairs
were sent to Spokane and never
failed to bring the county honors.
Splendid racing horses came from
all over the country for the county
fair at Colville, and each year more
and more stables were added to ac-
commodate them. An attraction at
the first fair was horse called "the
guideless PAGER" which was brought
from British Columbia by its owner
and made a record of 2:2O on the
half-mile track without driver.
When horse racing began to wane
because of the laws against betting,
and the association management saw
debts accumulating, the property was
taken over by the county. The
commissioners paid the debt on the
land, amounting to $500. The last
fair was held in 1910, and after
that time the Yep-Kanum street
carnival took its place. The old fair
grounds and buildings recall pleasant
memories to those who witnessed the
fairs in earlier days, but the lumber
is now to go to a worthy purpose
in housing the exhibits of purebred
stock for which the county is now
becoming noted

PRUSSIA WINES TO
GET WORLD SYMPATHY

The South Germans OF Bavaria and
the Rhineland towns manifest far less
fear over the defeat and the debt with
which Germany will be burdened. Food
conditions interest them. and the in
ternal problems OF the country. For
eign politics occupies far less place in
their discussions.
The reason for the remarkably differ
ent viewpoint may be explained by the
remark OF a Bavarian high In political
circles: Between you and me, we
don't mind this defeat so much after
all. It's true that we might have made
a far better peace a year ago, but we'd
still be under the domination OF Prus-
sia. Now we are independent OF II,
and the Prussians know they can't rule
us any more Wen have TO pay more,
but 10 is a better freedom"
Prussia probably will make a strong
bid 10 continue her influence over the
Germans. The struggle Is on now-the
South Germans talk OF Flaws from Ber-
lin" II the capital OF the new republic
is not moved further south. Unfortu-
nately, there Is no big city in Central
Germany which would do. Under pres
sure from the South Germans, a new
capital may be built from the ground
up, after the manner Of WASHINGTON.
Another interesting feature OF South
German life Is the satisfaction with
their own country and the life there
People are content to live and work and
let the outside world alone. This may
bp dua "a fha fret that Iffa IN South
Germany Is heartier. more solid and less
of a strussle than In The North.
In Berlin and other parts OF north
ern Germany there is a huge percent
ace OF the population looking forward
to leaving the country at the first op-
portunity. for America and England II
entry into those countries is possible.
You are besiesed with people who want
TO know II Germans soon can so TO
America. The Prussian viewpoint sees
no reason why Germans cannot enjoy
the fruits Of the world as they did be-
fore the war.

BERLIN, Feb. (By MaiD.-That
Prussian attitude and ambition is quite
UNCHANGED. so far as individuals are

The question Is one OF the most in

the country. It Is not hard TO decide

As a nation, Germans everywhere

them is sharply CONTRASTING when you

Unconsciously, the Prussian assumes
responsibility for the old system by the
tremendous concern he manifests over
Germany's collapse From the Prus-

A typical expression Of the Prusslan
point Of view VIII usually include
pointing out that the Entente must not

There Is something cold and calculat-

there Is still a strong pan-Germanic
spirit. an ambition for empire, for the

II sounds deadly-uninteresting.
But that phrase holds one OF the most
important OF all the steps which the
peace conference is taking toward the
new era OF closer, freer relations be-
tween nations
Unjust local control OF international
rivers and railroads and "sewed up"
ports have TO be wiped out before
there will be the free intercommuni-
cation, the free access to the seas for
everybody, so necessary to the sue

For years the great Danube was un-

fluence, which simply ran" the river.
II liked and collected tolls from which
il paid its expenses and IL operated pa
troll ships. lighthouses. tugs and even
hospitals. The Rhine had a similar In
ternational arrangement
q is probable that the Rhine and
Danube arrangements will be conserved
and extended 10 other rivers, such as
the Vistula, Pruth, Elbe and scheldt
The Scheldt illustrates the need for
such control. II Is the outlet for Ant
werp. one OF the greatest ports In
Er~one hnt The mouth OF the river Is
in Dutch territory. This Scheldt ques-
ton IS second in importance only to
recreation IN Belgiums eyes.
Wholly national railways mean con-
stantly changing fares and rates and
cont. oil. It's a wasteful nuisance to be
changing train crews at every boundary
especially when trains are running
through small countries-snd the
chances are that there will be lot
more small countries before the peace
is finally made.
international control OF certain rail-
ways, at least, Is going 10 be vital In
the new era, peacers say.
What Is TO be done about ports is
perhaps the most diiilcult OF all the
questions connected with international
Transportation control. The whole port
question received its greatest recosni-
ton from President Wilson's principle
OF free access to the seas.
