not observing this law and are not
washing the bottles before returning
them to the distributor. Failure to
comply with this law" states the in
spector, subjects the party to the
penalty of having committed mis-
demeanor."
The inspector further states that
nothing in the state law requires it,
bu: all bottles ought to be returned
daily and failure to return these
bottles is one of the biggest items
in causing the high prices prevailing
for milk. These bottles belong to
the dairyman and when a person
buys a quart of milk, it is just the
contents and not the bottle that is
purchased"
The dairy inspector has inspected
the creamery and all dairies supply
ing milk to Colville and found the
creamery clean in every respect and
the dairies with one exception in
fairly good shape and this one was
not sanitary in regard to the wash
ing and filling of the bottles. He
found the milk up to the state stan
dard.

there is neither city nor county in

KOLVILLE HANDY KITCHEN
A THRIVING LOCAL INDUSTRY

There is small business located
on a side street in Colville, which is
gradually prospering and which is
as worthy of mention as some of the
larger businesses. Six years ago j.
P. Geyer started making candy in
Colville at the present location of
the Colville Meat Market where he
remained for four months. At the
end of that time he moved to the
present location of the Colville Song
Shop where he continued his candy
making for ten months, moving then
to the present location of the Royal
Supply Co. where he stayed for three
and one half years, when he moved
again, this time into the old building
which was torn down at the time
the new building, to be occupied by
the Nobby Shop, the Ladies Shop and
Grover Graham's drug store, was
started this last spring.
At that time Mr.. Geyer thought
he would have to leave town to find
a location but finally purchased the
building on First Avenue where he is
now located and which was then
occupied by shoe shop.
Mr.. Geyer now regularly employs
two people to assist him. This lis
the first time since he started in
business in Colville six years ago
that he has employed more than one
assistant regularly.
The Kolville Handy Kitchen, as Mr..
Geyer calls his shop, aside from
making candies, such as Judges, s,hard
candies, butter schotches, taffies,
nougats, log cabins, carnels, walnut
goodies, chocolates, etc., roasts and

JONES TO HEAD
LOCAL CHAMBER
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ELECT
NEW OFFICERS FOR THE
COMING YEAR
Activities of 1921 Will Be Opened
With a Public Banquet For
All In Community

The Colville Chamber of Commerce
will be headed next year by
Dale Jones of the Top Noch mills.
At meeting on Wednesday evening,
officers were elected as follows:
President, Dale Jones; executive
board H. 7. Wentz, c. L. Baker,
NJ. L. Hickman, A. L. Rogers and
w. w. Campbell Messrs Jones,
Campbell and Rogers served last
year and were reelected for the
coming year.
Banquet January 3
The new board will take office the
first of the year and will open their
activities with a public banquet to
be held on January 3. They ex-
tend an invitation to every citizen
of Colville and the surrounding
country and state that ladies are
especially invited to attend. A gen.
eral around-the-table discussion will
be indulged in as to how the Col
vile Chamber of Commerce can best
serve the community in which we
live. A short program will be ar
ranged and if they can be secured,
prominent welfare and community
speakers will be in attendance. Those
who believe that the chamber can
serve the community in better and
more efficient way are urged to be
present and state their views.
Accomplishments
Among some of the accomplish
ments attained by the Chamber OF
Commerce for the year 1920 was the
raising by public subscription over
$4,000 to make possible the paving
of First avenue from Wynne street
to the depot. Under the direction
of this body, the buildings on the old
fair grounds were moved to their
present location. They recently
leased ten acres of the fair grounds
to a manufacturing plant which is
to begin operations within year.
This enterprise, if developed to it's
full capacity, will produce a payroll
far in excess of anything in or
around Colville.
Vote of Thanks.
The board expressed their thanks
to president w. A. Acorn and secre-
tary John T. Raftis, for their earnest
and untiring efforts of the past year.
A vote of thanks was also expressed
to the Stevens County Livestock
Association for their cooperation and
assistance at the time of the live
stock show and fair. They also gave
credit to all the officers of the board
for their efforts of the past year in
behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.
Best Wishes
The Colville Chamber of Commerce
wishes to extend to the people of
this community it's best wishes for
a Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, and expresses the hope that
all will meet at the banquet on jan
uary 8.
