San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, May
s. Costa Rican exiles met and de-
feated force of Costa Rican from

The reported outbreak of fighting
between the Costa Rican exiles and
Costa Rican government forces
comes closely after report from
San Juan Del Sur Thursday that
Costa Ricans opposed to the present
government were assembling on the
southern and eastern end of Lake
Nicaragua.

headed by General FREDERICK Tinoco,
who led a successful revolution

tempts to gain recognition.

EXTEND AN INVITATION
TO COUNTY SPORTSMEN

"In the spring, a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love-" and sportsman's heart turns
to Gods great outdoors. That is
natural and as it should be. Don't
you feel that irresistible call to
nature-the goin' fishing idea? Co
in fishin' is not much sport unless
there are fish to be caught
Natures supply is not inexaust-
ible. This is true of game as well
as of fish. In order that the sports
mans desires may be gratified it is
necessary that he interest himself
actively in the propagation and pro-
lection of game and game fish. Up
standing, red-blooded out-of- doors
men are the kind who are working
for more game and fish, sane game
and fish laws, true craftsmanship.
They are the kind of men that be-
lieve that sportsman should never
in sport endanger human life; never
kill wantonly or needlessly or bru
tally; obey the laws of state and ma
ton, work for better laws, uphold
the law-enforcing authorities, re-
spect the rights of farmers and
property owners and also their feel
ings; never to be game or fish
hog; love nature and its denizens
and be gentlemen.
A number Of the sportsmen of
Colville, believing that the time has
now arrived when it is necessary to
take an active interest in the propa-
cation, protection and preservation
of game and fish in Stevens county,
met on the evening of March 25, and
discussed the matter Of organization
of county sportsmen association.
Much interest was manifested by
those present and, after considerable
discussion, is was decided to call
meeting of all persons interested at
Colville on Tuesday evening, April
8, at 8 o'clock. A committee of
tuI1C@ was dppoIHISo w hiHhC a.
rangements for such meeting and to
invite sportsmen from all parts of
the county to attend.
If you believe that more game
and more fish can be secured only
through organization and the appli-
cation Of practical game and fish
breeding and preserving methods, if
you are the sort of sportsman who
is willing to be an active factor in
such an organization, then you are
welcome in the association which
will be organized on the evening of
April 9th, in fact that's where you
belong, and you will be present to
assist in the organization and will
contribute your knowledge and eff
forts to its success. May we ex-
pect you'll T. Wentz, l.. D. Sill,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WANT MORE FROM MISSOURI

County Commissioner Hunt is still
gasping for breath. He had a cal
Ter few days ago. Mr.. Hunt and
his fellow commissioners are quite
accustomed to callers, but not this
particular kind. Most of the visit
ors come because they want some
thing done, some repairs made to a
road, new road constructed, etc.
This visitor, whose name is F.. B.
Deshler, came because he wanted to
do something That is why Mr..
Hunt gasped for breath
Mr.. Deshler asked permission to
drag the county road near his place
at Echo. Deshler is from Missouri,
where the farmers have a great deal
of pride in keeping the roads near
their property in good shape. When
he received permission to go ahead,
he proceeded to drag about three
miles of road and did it at the time
of the year when it would do the
most good, before they were too
dusty The county commissioners
have just one request to make of
Mr.. Deshler and that is that he
persuade some more farmers from
Missouri to move into Stevens coun-

Correspondence from Miles
By A. E. Lewis

The mild weather Of the past two
weeks has dried the roads along the
Spokane and Columbia river valleys.
Road overseers of the Miles and
River Homes districts in Lincoln
county are smoothing the road beds
and widening the grades along the
rivers and uplands. The commits:
sioners have made these districts
their usual allottments of funds of
about a nickle apiece, and work is
progressing mostly with donation
work, which is the customary and
most efficient method of accomplish
ing anything owing to the lack of
funds H. A. Brodin of the Miles
district and d. F. Pankey of the
River Homes district are good soli-
citors. The patrons of the Marble
Springs school district between
Miles and Crystal Grove, are putting
in trough at the roadside near the
school building for the use of pic
nicers and automobilists in securing
spring water for their summer out
ings along the river roads. The
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. reserva-
tion road overseer is also at work on
the Stevens county side of the river.
Traffic between Davenport and the
Fruitland-Hunters country will be in
shape to be resumed this week after
almost two months bad and almost
impossible roads on the uplands in
the two counties.
Jason Dill Edwards of the spruce
division arrived home last week
from Vancouver barracks. Private
Edwards is the only full-blooded
Indian from the Spokane tribe to
serve in the army during the war.
Being an Indian, without citizenship,
he was entitled to exemption from
military duty, but disdained the
idea of being a Stacker, and went
willingly into service. In a tele-
gram to his father Bob Edwards,
who lives near Detilion Bridge, he
designated his parent as Major Ed
wards. 1t is supposed that Jason
has so formed the habit Of reporting
and obeyng majors in the service,
that he wishes to continue the habit,
so has conferred the coveted rank on
his father, who will bear his new Of
fcial position with the grace and
dignity of an Indian chief of the
great Spokane tribe. The Dill part
in Jason Dill Edwards name, which
so appears in the military roster,
was adopted by Jason after the cleo
tion of Congressman c. c. Dill,
when he so ardently entered his
congressional career as the cham
pion of the Indians of the Spokane
and Colville Indian reservations, and
before he fell from grace on war
questions. An Indian never forgets
a friend so the name sticks, which
was adopted to confer an apprecia-
tive favor on the congressman for
service to the tribe. Jason is no
Stacker and can justly be proud of
his military record.

PEACE TREATIES TAKE TINE

! Is there any ground for the charge
that the peace treaty has been unduly
delayed?
Realize, first, that the peace con-
ference has had before it more pro-
blemb, larger problems, problems more
intricate and far-reaching than any
peace conference that ever met be-
fore in this world
Realizing that, consider few COM
parsons.
The armistice was signed November
IL. four and half months ago. The
peace conference met the middle of
January, only two met the middle of
January, only two and a half months
ago. The completed peace treaty,
League of Nations and all, is said to
be near at hand.
The peace protocol ending the Span
ish-A American war was signed 10, 1898,
and the comparatively simple peace
treaty was not signed until December
10, more than four months later.
Russia and Japan agreed June IL,
1905, to appoint peace commissioners
to meet in America, but the peace
treaty was not signed until October
4, d1lIIOSU 4Oul AA1OA1UA0 Ac~ONAs
1t took four months to complete
and sign the treaty following the
Franco russian war in 1870-1871,
though this was largely matter of
Prussia, the conqueror, telling France
what it must do, with no care at all
about the future peace of the world.
Far nearer a fair comparison is the
congress of Vienna, which undertook
to arrange the map Of Europe after
Napoleon had been finally disposed of.
That congress sat from September "a.
1914, till June 9, 1915; nearly nine
months, though it had no such task
before it as the Paris conference.

Peace is needed, there is nobody on
earth, surely who would needlesly de-

MOVING TIME IN ESKIMO LAND

A very interesting and wholly uni
que experiment. undertaken by the
government in Alaska has turned out
remarkable success.
At Deering, on the bleak Arctic
seacoast was village of Eskimos. It
was not happy village. For lack OF
timber (region being treeless) its in
habitants were compelled to dwell
in the semiunderground novels of their
ancestors. The killing off of the wal
rus and other game animals made the
problem of food supply increasingly
difficult
In word, they were S3up against it.
They craved new home, and Uncle
Sam decided to give them one.
For this purpose he picked out an
uninhabited track on the banks of
the Kobuk rivera piece of land 10
miles square, with plenty of timber
on it and Astounding in game and fish.
It was set aside as a reservation by
executive order, and thither the peo-
pie of Deering migrated in the sum-
mer of 1915.
Mark the change. The new village
on the Kobuk, built under the direc-
tion of government teachers. is hand
somely laid out in streets with neat
single family houses and gardens 1t
has an electric lighting plant, which is
run by an Eskimo engineer, to illu-
inmate the little town, and most of the
dwellings are wired for electricity.
There is also a community sawmill.
But most remarkable of all is the
wireless station the northernmost
radio station on this continent.
One of the teachers, named Replo-
gle, rummaging in the shops of Seat
tie, managed to pick up set of second
hand wireless instruments. 1t was in
complete, but he supplemented it with
homemade contrivances and the army
radio men at Nome cheerfully eontri-
buted few essentials. The first mes
sage was sent through to Nome on the
9th day of last November.
In view of the notable success of
this experiment, the government is
contemplating the selection of other
suitable tracts there is lots of spare
room in Alaska-to which un-desir-
ably situated Eskimo communities may
be removed. and where they can get
fish and make and conduct their own
industrial, and commercial enterpris-

SHE RETURNED 1T
Argonaut.

Laying down harsh criticism IF
the work of fellow novelist, Robert
Chambers laughed and said: Eve writ
ers get terrible deal from the public.
Did you ever hear the story of the
playwright? It's typical of what we
all get. A playwright sat in the front
row for the premiere of his play. The
first two acts went over splendidly
and it looked as if the play was real
hit. At the close of the second act
a little lady sitting directly behind the
dramatist reached in her handbag, took
out a tiny pair of manicure scissors,
and reaching over, calmly shipped off
a lock of the authors hair. But the
last two acts went badly and in the end
the applause for the author became
Kisses. AS the curtain fell on the fin
ale the lady leaned over and tapped
the playwright on the shoulder, ALLOW
me to return this, she said contemp-
tuously, handing back the purloined
lock. !" Minneapolis Journal.

WOMEN AND WAR

The Philadelphia Public Ledger is
polling Philadelphia on the League Of
Nations.
The polls continuously shows an ov-
erwhelming majority for the League
of course. That is true of every poll
that is being taken anywhere in the
country.
But it also shows that the vote a.
mong women invariably is stronger
for the League than among men.
That was to be expected, too.
When there is war, men have only
to fight: they have only to give their
money and their lives.
But women must give their loved
ones, their sons and sweethearts and
husbands.
The woman who wouldn't be in fav-
or of trying to rid humanity of the
curse of war would be as dishearten-
ing spectacle as a woman without
religion.
