ROBERT w. HANNA DIES
AT AGE OF THIRTY-TWO

The funeral of Robert w. Hanna,
who died at the Colville General hos
tial Sep. II, was held at the M. e.
church on Monday, conducted by the
Rev. J. S. Bell of Spokane, former
pastor of the church. Music was
furnished by quartet composed of
Rev. and Mrs. Allen, Mrs. J. c. Har-
rigan, Ralph Willett, with Mrs. Anna
Casey at the organ. Pallbearers
were Earle T. Gates, r. N. Ledger
wood, John Miller, C. A. Buchanan,
G. G. Graham, L. M. Mcfarland.
Robert w. Hanna was born at
Wyoming, Jones county, Iowa, July
27, 1887, and came with his parents
w. D. and Clara B. (Elwood) Hanna
to Stevens county in 1901, and re-
ceived his education in the public
schools of Colville. He specialized
in civil engineering and for tima
was engaged in the office of the
county engineer before being stricken
with form of tubercular trouble
which incidentally caused his death,
although the real cause Of his decline
was not discovered until after he
had gone to the army, from which
he was released after a few months
service. For the past year he has
travelled over the Pacific slope in the
hope of regaining his health, and
only recently returned from Califor-
MIA. His sister Elva and mother died
some years ago. Besides his father
he leaves three brothers, John G. of
Wyoming, Iowa, and Fred X. and
Frank L. Of Colville. All were in
attendance at the funeral,
"Bob" Hanna, as he was best
known to his friends, was one of
the most popular boys in the COM
munity and especially with the
younger society of the public schools
he was known for his wonderfully
good humor, his entertaining quail
ties of manner, and the kindly con-
sideration shown always to those
who were in need of his help. He
was a member of the M. w. A. at
the time of his death.
Interment was in the family lot
at Highland by the side of his
mother and sister. The services at
church and grave were attended not
only by his friends at home, but by
those in other parts of the county
The floral offerings represented in
many ways the esteem in which he
was held as friend and companion.

CHILD BROWNS IN RIVER = -
WHILE MOTHER is FISHING

Carrie, the three-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Siefke, was
drowned in the Colville river at Orin
Sunday afternoon. The mother, with
her three children, all under six
years Of age, was fishing on the bank
of the main stream 100 yards above
the bridge. Attracted by the cries
of the children she turned to see
the little girl disappearing beneath
the water, which was apout five feet
deep at this point. Screaming for
help she brought Mrs. E. D. Knauf
to the scene. Mrs. Knauf being a
good swimmer plunged into the
sluggish waters, which were deeper
than her height. She located the
lifeless body with her feet, and after
several attempts brought it to the
shore. After this Mrs. Knauf fell in
a faint and was revived only after
a physician had been called, and has
been in a critical condition by reason
of a weak heart. All efforts to re-
store life to the child were unavail-
ing. The Siefke family came from
North Dakota two years ago, and he
has been employed at the plant of
the Winslow Lumber Co. during the
last year. Their two remaining chill
dren are boys, one older and one
younger than the, sister.

MORE FOOD FROM WATER
THAN FROM MOST LANDS

Evan Morgan this year completes
his 25th season as manager of the
famous Loon Lake summer resort,
having opened the place in 1895. The
Loon Lake park comprises 100 acres
and a half mile of lake shore, and
at the present time is equipped with
pavilion and bath house, grandstand,
bathing and diving platforms, and 80
cottages. There are about 1870 boats
on the lake, owned by various par
ties, and the summertime finds Loon
lake popular place for fishermen,
campers, amusement seekers and
rest seekers.
Perhaps few people realize the ex-
tent to which fishing is carried on
at Loon lake, or the actual value per
acre of Loon lake as wealth pro-
ducer. The lake comprises 1900
acres, and in value of food fish an
nually yields from $4,000 to $4,000
in mackinaw, perch, black bass and
silver trout. The mackinaw run in
weight from Z to 80 pounds, the
average being 7A pounds per fish
caught. Perch run from 6 to 10
inches in length, and are caught in
such immense quantities as to swell
the annual catch to big figures. The
black bass run from half a pound
up to pounds, and silver trout from

Raftis spent most Of his 10 months
at Camp Lewis, although he made
one trip to Washington, d. c., on
special detail, and was there when
the armistice celebration was held,
and heard President Wilson's mes
sage to congress concerning the ar
mistice terms on Nov. IL. His prin-
cipal work in the office Of the judge
advocate was in the preparation of
evidence and statements of fact for
presentation before courtmartial. For
a period Of two weeks he says he did
nothing but draw wills for the men
of the 9lst, and that in this work
he was the legal means of assigning
more property to possible heirs than
Stevens county possesses. Mr.. Raj
tbs has been visiting his parents Mr..
and Mrs. James Raftis, who have
been residents of CheweIah since
1891, and spent Monday in Colville
visiting among the many friends he
has here, where he was engaged in
the practice of law with l.. b. Dom
ley at the time he enlisted. He is
undecided as to his future actions,
but it may be that he will again
open law offices in Colville.

BURNING MONEY

. Life is gay and blithe and sunny
since the peace dove hit the breeze;
every one is burning money just as
though it grew on trees. | insist
on thrift and saving, but there's
none to heed my words; johnnies say
that l am raving, and throw money
to the birds. Men are drawing
princely wages, and their breasts
are filled with mirth, and they jeer
foreboding sages who predict a day
of dearth; but that day will come
as surely as tomorrow's sun will
rise; things will then be going poor
ly with the giddy spending guys.
Things won't boom along forever as
they're booming now, my friends;
and the man who's truly clever
saves as ably as he spends. 1t is
patent to the knowing, in expansive
times like these, that the kopecks
won't be growing always on the
shrubs and trees. There will come
a day of trouble, when this boom
is left behind, and the kopeck and
the ruble will be mighty hard to
find; happy then the lads whose
wages have been safely placed in
brine, who obeyed the seers and
sages, when the saving graft was
fine. And how sick, will be the
mortals who like spendthrifts now
behave, who reply with jeers and
chortles when we call on them to
save!-Walt Mason.

2 to 31a pounds. There are also
some sunfsh caught. Fishermen from
all parts of eastern Washington go
to Loon Lake to fish for the famed
mackinaw trout, and will spend all
day in boat in an effort to land
some of the big ones, being we'll
satisfied if the days fishing yields
one ranging from 6 to IL pounds.
Weekend railway rates are given
each season from Spokane for the
benefit of cottagers and campers.
Loon lake is one of the cOunty's
assets, not only in it's summer re-
sort features, but as a real producer,
for there are few places in the coun-
try where an acre of land can and
does annually produce the food that
Loon lake affords. The indirect
revenue received by the county and
it's citizens in money spent by out
siders within our county totals big
sum each year, and Loon lake does
its full share in providing the attrac-
ton for these visitors.

GENERAL DECIDES
MANY GAME LAWS ILLEGAL

Sweeping changes are made in the
upland bird seasons of the state of
Washington as the result of two
opinions of Attorney General L. L..
Thompson to the the State Game
Warden l.. H. Darwin on Sep. g..
The effect of these opinions is to
nullify the action of many of the
county game commissions in the
state attempting changes in their
upland bird seasons. By upland
birds is meant the various kinds of
pheasants, the various kinds of par
fridge, the various kinds of grouse,
prairie chicken, sage hen, wild tur-
key, quail, etc.
The game law provides that the
county game commissions with the
consent of the state game warden
may Shorten, close or open" the up
land bird seasons in their respective
counties. 1t has been the generally
accepted belief that this gave the
county game commissions the right
to make any alterations in their up
land bird seasons they thought
necessary in order to preserve and
protect the game.
On Aug. 2T in an opinion to the
state game warden the attorney
general held that this expression
only meant that county game COM
missions could close or shorten the
seasons established by statute, and
thereafter could open or close the
seasons so shortened
Upon receipt Of this opinion State
Game Warden Darwin Immediately
submitted to the attorney general a
list of all the changes made by the
county game commissions in the up
land bird seasons, as he was con-
vinced that under the attorney gen.
erals opinion many of these changes
were illegal. The attorney general
was requested and in compliance
with this request has indicated which
changes are legal and which are H.
legal
The only question which affects
Stevens county is regarding prairie
chickens. According to the attor-
ney general, these may not be killed
in this county until Sep. Is, 1921,
but the open game season Of Ste
vens county prescribes an open
season now on prairie chicken from
Sep. Is to Oct. /, both dates in
elusive %
lnasmuch as the killing of
prairie chicken is not an extensive
luxury in Stevens county, no serious
damage may be done this year even
if the attorney generals opinion is
allowed to take precedence over the
county game commissions order.
But hunters who go into Ferry coun-
ty should take note of the new de-
cisions, and fully satisfy themselves
that they are not breaking the law
or else make sure that they are not
caught at it, for the Examiner is
unable to tell whose law is now
authoritative on game questions in
eastern Washington, and Ferry coun-
ty does not offer the many open
season privileges that Stevens coun-
ty now has.

Influenza Epidemic
Returns
Many Cases in This Vicinity
Local Physicians Have Situa-
ton Well in Hand

In common with other towns of
the State, Newark and vicinity are
having recurrence of the in
fluenza epidemic. 1t has not, how
ever, assumed sufficiently alarm
ing proportions to necessitate the
closing of the schools, the moving
picture theatre or amy of the
places where people comgregate.
Nor is it ais serious, apparently,
in its effects ais the previous epi-
de1nic. Although number of
victims have contracted pneu-
monia, there have been very few
deaths.
While there.is no agreement as
Ito causes of tie second outbreak,
it is Thought that the relaxation of
the health rules during the festiv-
titles of the holiday season and the
unusual amount of travel and con-
seouent mingling of persons from
different sections of the country
may have been responsible to a
certain extent. Then, too, the
peculiar winter with it's frequent
and sudden changes, makes it diff
ficult to avoid colds with conse-
uuent susceptibility to influenza.
Owing to the illness of DR.. Wal
ter Steel, the situation is being
handled by DR.. Charles H. Blake
and DR.. H. G.. M. Kollock, without
