Oh for a boom, great boom for
Addy-quaint, quiet little Addy; sit
uated as it is on the Great Northern
railroad perhaps half hundred
miles or so, north of the city of Spo-
kane, in a little rift or basin of the
mountains, and with foot hills all
around it, on the Colville river, and
made up of class of good energetic
people and surrounded by so many
splendid opportunities and accessi-
BILE to many superior advantages.
We have in Addy three dry goods
and grocery stores to furnish the ne
cessities of life to its citizens; sew
eral garage, two churches or places
of Divine worship, a couple of good
public halls, meat market, black
smith shop, postoffice, telephone Of
flee restaurant, pool hall, hotel, har-
ness and repair shop, drug store, a
first class bank, physician, fine
creamery doing a splendid business,
and above all else a number one
school building furnished with the
very best of equipment in the west,
| had occasion not long ago to
visit that school and was very fav-
orably impressed with the manage
ment, and should be asked my
opinion any time l should feel COM
PEELED to say that it was one of the
incest schools in the country around.
Professor Pogue, who saw service
overseas, was so kind and courteous
to his pupils and they seemed to re-
turn the compliment. really ad-
mired the energy and patience he
displayed in his enterprising vocation
as a thorough instructor, and he
seems to have a most loving hold on
the hearts of his pupils.
Miss Cecil Pogue, his sister, teach
es the primary portion of the school
with good results.
If the parents would drop in oc-
casionally they certainly would feel
proud of their progeny and it might
give a little encouragement to their
education and make him feel that
they too were interested in the school
work.
AS l said before, the building is
a fine one with a complete equip
ment for a model school, with fur
mace heating plant, sanitary drink
ing fountain, globes, charts, maps.
The school has access to the books
of the Addy public library, which is
| judiciously kept in the school build
ing.
Addy has several notaries public,
real estate men, a justice OF the
peace, and other necessary officials
of town for the welfare of the
people, unless, indeed, it is humane
society and I hope we do not need
one in Addy.
| AS for clubs and societies, which
1 consider both interesting and in
structive, in the uplifting cause, we
have the home service, department
| of the Red Cross for the culture Of
home virtues, which has met with a
hearty response among our members
and the neighborhood at large.
This we shall continue, and if pos
sible improve upon, as we have gain
ed reputation for our home service,
and it shall be our pleasure and
pride to keep up the interest, and
sustain the good name which the
public has generously given us.
Our hope and faith speak to us in
terms of confidence respecting the
future. The past year has given
us zest for the wide field of labor
and we shall earnestly endeavor to
infuse into the minds of our friends
the progressive spirit Of this century
