home of Mrs. J. D. Casey. There
was a good attendance from the diff

Olive Riggs and Miss Amy Bebee
from the Santee Indian mission of

ports made by the bankers attend

the Washington Bankers association
in Spokane. G. W. Peddycord Of

S. e. Barnes left Tuesday of last
week with the body of John ellison
for Barnes, Penn, where burial will
take place. Mr.. Barnes is a nephew
of the late Mr. Gibson, who died
May 9, after an illness of several
months. Mrs. Gibson, who has been
seriously i'll at the home of her
daughter Mrs. Walter DeLand, is re-
ported to be much better. Richard
Dunn, who has recently returned
from service overseas, is taking the
place of Mr.. Barnes with the Col
vile Loan and Trust company dur
ing the latter's absence in the east.
M. A. Rodman and l. w. Eklund
left yesterday in the Eklund car for
Seattle, where Mr.. Eklund will look
after business matters for a week,
and Mr.. Rodman will represent Col
vile Lodge No. so at the Masonic
grand lodge.
Al. G. Barnes is one Snowman
who does not shunt when he takes
his circus into smaller communities.
That will hold good in Colville as
in all other towns. The entire show
equipment will be brought here and
an entire performance given. Every
courtesy extended to Seattle and like
cities will be given Colville people.
The war tax is included in the regu-
lar admission. 1t would be impos-
sible with a show like Barnes to
carry pennies for war tax change,
for not even the trusty elephant
could carry the amount needed if
this system were carried out.
Miss Emma C. Miller of Los An
geles, who has the distinction of
being the first woman circus press
agent, was here Wednesday repre-
senting the Barnes animal circus
which comes here next Friday. She
is on her fourth year with this great
show, and gives q personal assur-
ance that nothing too good can be
said by the Examiner regarding
this show, which has been in Colville
before and left clean record for
good performances and straightfor-
ward conduct. Miss Miller says
that there will be % cars come
to Colville, with 6 bands, the lead
ing band being the marine band in
uniform, 80 pieces, which heads the
parade in the morning. There will
be no closed cages in the parade,
and the entire show will be in Col
vile, with the same tent that is used
in Spokane the day following.
The following letters remain in
the Colville postoffice uncalled for:
w. H. Alcott, Dick Benson, Miss
Marie Litzenburg, Rev. E. H. Smith,
o. N. Unges.
News of the early return of the
146th field artillery from overseas
is of much interest to Colville and
Stevens county people, for many of
the 146th are our own boys. Among
those who are expected to arrive
about June 20, are Curry and Dean
Clark, Earl Droz, Alfred Carlin,
Lewis Richardson, John Walsh, Rob-
ert Durland, Leslie Fry and Frank
Potter.
