LIVESTOCK POSSIBILITIES
ARE BEING CONSIDERED

Secretary Earle T. Gates Of the
Stevens County Livestock association
is in receipt of letter from the
Physical Culture Publishing Co. Of
New York, suggesting additional
features for the livestock show as
follows:
"Why not prizes for the best
human beings in your state! A
perfect man or woman is surely as
important as prize hog. A per-
feet baby is more important than q
prize cabbage. You might have not
only prize babies, but prizes for the
best boys and girls at five, ten and
fifteen years. Also an all-round
athletic contest. A prize-winning
man of sixty years, who has kept
young, strong and athletic would
surely be interesting. There are
hundreds Of women Of fifty in your
state who are young for their age

Atty John B. Slater from New

A RED STAMP NOW GOOD
ON THAT LETTER TO HER

Postal rates on first class mail
matter were changed commencing
July l, and the old rates are now in
force. The purple three-cent
stamps, which formerly were not
often in evidence on mail matter,
have been the predominating color
on letters since the war revenue act
by congress, but the war in over,
and the Old-time carmine two-cent
stamp will now resume its accus-
toned place in the affections Of the
letter writer. Postmaster C. M.
Durland reports that the extra stock
of three-cent stamps will be retain
ed and gradually used as needed in
the ordinary course of sending
fourth-class and parcel post mail.
The three cent booklet stamps will
be torn apart and the stamps used
in this manner. The three-cent
stamped envelopes and postal cards
will revert to the government, as
the three-cent stamped envelopes are
seldom used, and the two-cent postal
cards are only used for foreign
mail.

JUNE BREAKS THE RECORD
FOR LEAST PRECIPITATION

All Colville weather records were
broken last month by the unusual
absence of moisture, the precipitation
for the month being less than .O1.
The normal precipitation for June in
this vicinity is LAB inches. The
lowest previous records were .35 in
1900, 80 in 1918, and 20 in 1917.
Maximum temperature last month
was 81 on the 10Th, minimum 28 on
1st, average for month being 59.5,
which is 2.7 less than normal. Clear
days 10, cloudy 3, part cloudy 8.
The first crop of alfalfa in the Col
vile valley was good, but the dry
weather has injured crops in all re-
ported districts between Valley and
Grand Forks, the condition seeming
to be the same in the Colville, Co
lumbia and Kettle river valleys.

SOLDIERS CAN
COME HOME
AFTER GREAT STRUGGLE, THE
HUN DESPOTISM is BROUGHT
TO TERMS, OF PEACE
Efforts of America to Make World
Safe for Democracy are Sue ,
cessful in Large Measure

It is with considerable satisfaction
that the Colville Examiner records
the signing Of the treaty Of peace
with Germany. On June %, at
3:14 Paris time, President Wilson
affixed his signature to the docu-
ment, and the subsequent signing by
the representatives of all the other
nations formally declared that peace
had come.
The message from President Will
son regarding the signing of the
treaty is as follows:
"My Fellow Countrymen: The
treaty of peace has been signed. If
it is ratified and acted upon in full
and sincere execution of it's terms
it will furnish the charter for % new
order of affairs in the world. It is
severe treaty in the duties and
penalties it imposed upon Germany,
but it is severe only because great
wrongs done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; it imposes
nothing that Germany can not do;
and she can regain her rightful
standing in the world by the prompt
and honorable fulfillment of its
terms.
"And it is much more than a
treaty of peace. with Germany. 1t
liberates great peoples who have
never before been able to find the
way to liberty. 1t ends, once for
all, an old and intolerable order
under which small groups of selfish
men could use the peoples of great
empires to serve their ambition for
power and domination.
"It associates the free govern
ments of the world in permanent
league in which they are pledged to
use their united power to maintain
peace by maintaining right and JUS
tice. 1t makes international law a
reality, supported by imperative
sanctions.
"It does away with the right of
conquest and rejects the policy Of
annexation and substitutes a new
order under which backward nations
populations which have not yet
come to political consciousness and
peoples who are ready for indie
pendence, but not yet quite prepared
to dispense with protection and guild
ance-shall no more be subjected to
the domination and exploitation of
stronger nation, but shall be put
under the friendly direction and af-
forded the helpful assistance of
governments, which undertake to be
responsible for the opinion Of man.
kind in the execution of their tasks
by accepting the direction of the
league of nations.
"It recognizes the inalienable
rights of nationality; the rights Of
minorities and the sanctity of re-
ligious belief and practice. 1t lays
the basis for conventions which shall
free the commercial intercourse Of
the world from unjust and vexatious
restrictions and for every sort Of
international cooperation that will
serve to cleanse the life of the world
and facilitate its common action in
beneficient service Of every kind.
"It furnishes guarantees such as
were never given or even contem-
plated for the fair treatment Of all
who labor at the daily tasks of the
world.
"It is for this reason that I have
spoken of it as great charter
for a new order of affairs. There
is ground here for deep satisfaction,
universal reinsurance and confident
hope. (Signed) Woodrow Wilson"

TRANSPORTATION

GER SERVICE INAUGURATED

Better Roads Permit a Further De-
velOpment Of Transportation Prob.
lens in Famous COIville Valley

The first motor transportation
system to be organized between Col
vile and Spokane was in evidence
Monday, June 80, when two motor
trucks and one passenger car made
the trip between Spokane, Colville
and Marcus.
The Pacific Coast Motors Trans
portation Co. Of Spokane is organ
lied throughout the Inland Empire
for the purpose of doing a general
freight, express and passenger busi-
ness by means Of motor transporta-
ton. Round trip service is offered
seven days in the week. Freight
rates are the regular railway rates
plus carriage rate. Passenger rates
are the present railway rates plus
1919. The passenger stage starts
from Spokane at 8 a. m. and ar
rives in Colville at 1890, leaves Col
vile at /, arrives in Marcus at 2.
Returning, leaves Marcus at 2 p. M,
ISaNCS SOlN lllC o'cO, dIIINcS Ill
Spokane at 1880 p. m. REQ speed
wagons, equipped with passenger
body, are used for the passenger
traffic. and can carry to people.
Freight is carried in 2-ton trucks,
various makes of trucks being used.
The first truck run Monday took 8
hours into Colville.
Passenger and freight stops are
made at all intermediate points, and
local agencies will be established at
all towns. At present. only two
points north of Spokane have def
mite headquarters, the Pacific
garage being a terminal point, and
the Marcus Garage and Auto Livery
being the terminal for Marcus.
Traffic between Colville and Marcus
will go both by way of Meyers Falls
and Kettle Falls.
The first truck load of freight
over the new line was consigned by
Spokane wholesalers to Colville mer-
chants. The return trip saw the
transportation of II live goats from
Chewelah to Spokane in one truck,
and a cargo of fresh milk in the
other truck. The milk was not
from the goats, but was picked up
from dairymen along the line.
r. |. Hankins, assistant manager
of the company, and Fred Cook have
been here this week in the interest
of the new company. They state
that 36 trucks are now operating
over the territority, and that pas
senger cars are being put on as the
traffic demands.
Not since the days of the Old
Dominion mine has there been a
regularly organized traffic from Col
vile to Spokane over the county
roads. Silver ore from the famous
old mine was in earlier days freight
ed to Spokane by team. Since that
time the railroad has handled the
traffic. Now, with the coming of
hard-surfaced roads, the motor
truck and the high-speed passenger
car are taking their part in the COM
mercial development of the country.
The passenger schedule will per-
nit the people to drop off rail-
way train at town for a short
time, and resume the journey by
auto, the difference in time Of
schedules allowing this to be done
when necessary.
The roads between Colville and
Spokane are reasonable good, con-
sidering the. dry weather, but north
of Colville, the dust has blown from
the roads in many places, leaving
holes and ruts which are sometimes
navigated with difficulty.
