FRESHMEN GAIN VICTORY
OVER SOPHS IN CANE RUSH

When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for the
frosh to whip the sophs, ways and
means are devised for so doing. This
year five methods of torture were
considered and the most brutal adopt
ed. The five means for this annuol
event are as follows: Drag the
sophs through the river with a tug
of war; cane rush. sack contest; tie
and put them in designated area;
shine their faces with shoe backing.
The cane rush was considered to be
the most barbarous and therefore OH
Tuesday afternoon anyone looking
down First avenue toward the depot
might have seen the whole gang
swarm across the street, jump the
fences and with speed and earnest
ness of purpose pursue one frosh or
soph as the case may have been,
who held the cane which was to de-
eide the victory for this year De
tween the freshmen and the sopho-
mores. The cane itself was a handle
for a pick OF ak into one end of
which note had been plugged by
H. A. Scarborough, principal Of the
high school.
At the appointed time the cane wa,
placed in the center of the field and
the two classes lined up on opposite
ENDS of the field. Coach Oberhansly
acted as referee and at the whistle
each class rushed for the cane. Ger
aid Exley, captain of the frosh, got
the cane first, ran back with it into
his own crowd, started out the gate,
had scrap with the sophs who took
the cane away from him. 1t was
soon in the hands of the frosh again
who had placed relays at points out
side the field to assist in getting

KEEP MONEY IN COUNTY
RATHER THAN IN SPOKANE,

The Mt. Carmel hospital was open
ed to the public July 1919, at a cost
of $4,000.
From date of opening to July 1920,
the institution has cared for 248 sur
gical and 131 medical cases, 449o of
these cases coming from trading points
outside of Colville.
A statement from one of the Spo-
kane hospitals says that 37f6 of their
patients come from points outside of
Spokane and that those patients and
the persons accompanying them,
spend on an average of 5000 with
the business houses of Spokane dur
ing their stay.
If this is true, you can readily see
what the Mt. Carmel hospital with
1853 out-of-town patients year is
doing for Colville. In other words,
if our hospital is bringing $33,600 a
year to our town, it is worth think
ing about.
Our experience in depending on
other hospitals to furnish us nursins
help has proven unsatisfactory.
Therefore, the only way we can safe
guard the people of Colville is to
graduate our own nurses.
The Mt. Carmel is giving three
year training course, with four lec-
lures a week. The girls in training
receive SIS pei month, board, room
and laundry.
This is your hospital and yet you
have not been asked to donate one
dollar toward its construction or up
keep. Recently the treasury stock
was sold for $500, which will be
used toward erecting new wing.
We, the undersigned, do not object
to central institutions asking help
from towns that have no hospitals,
but we believe that our citizens
should remember the inadequacy of
our local hospital during the recent
epidemic, and If they have any money
to give, give it toward enlarging Col
ville's own institution.

SALVATION ARMY TO RAISE
$4,000 IN STEVENS COUNTY

The Stevens County Salvation ad-
visory board at a meeting on Oct.
Is placed the dates of the annual
campaign for raising the quota Of
the county on Oct. 18 to 30. The
county quota this year is $1,000.

case where help is needed.
During the past year in the west
ern states more than 1900 girl moth
ers from thirteen to seventeen years
of age have been taken care of i'll

Ninety-fve per cent of these girls
are living clean life today. At
these homes they are taught needle

which enables them to make clean
and upright living. The money rails
ed in these annual campaigns is for
the maintenance of these homes and
of similar work by the Salvation
Army.

en- beams of the truck beyond the
gas tank. Timber men working
near the road helped him unload his
load before it was harmed. The
truck will require considerable re
pairs before it can be used again.

away with the cane. In the mean
time some of the sophs mounted
horses and tried to head off the flee
ing frosh who held the cane. Be-
lieving escape impossible the frosh
threw the cane into an orchard.
Another frosh flung himself into the
orchard after the cane and carried it
to Dan Knauss, another freshman,
who was on horseback on the other
side of the orchard Dan whipped
up his horse and was soon alone out
in the country with his horse and
the coveted cane. With precautions
which only freshman could think
of when in battle with the sophs,
Dan hid the cane until the next
morning.
Meanwhile the sophs planned ways
and means of getting that cane be-
fore nine o'clock the next morning
when it was to be presented to Mr..
Scarborough at the foot of the flag
pole on the school grounds. The frosh
were also busy with plans which be-
came evident the next morning when
they assembled on Maple street near
the Congregational church with a
cane, bogus cane if you please,
which they had purchased to fool the
sophs. The sophs were stationed ali
around the school building and ex-
pected Dan Knauss to come riding in
from the country with
the cane and try to deliver it at the
flag pole by running his horse through
the crowd. The sophs were prepared
for move of this kind by the fresh
men and had horse ready to head
off Dan on his horse.
At $3.50 o'clock the freshmen--whc
had assembled on Maple street with
the bogus cane marched to the school
grounds, yelling like a troop of wild
Injuns, and with Morehead in the lead
carrying aloft the bogus cane. The
sophs bit and one grand scrap en-
sued over the bogus cane at such
distance from the flag pole that the
real cane was safely delivered to Mr..
Scarborough by Dan Knauss and
Martin Kimberling who rode leisurely
up Elm street until within sight of
the grounds when they cantered to
the flag pole and handed the real
cane to Mr.. Scarborough.
1t is reported that the sophs bit
on the gag they had planned in case
they got the cane.

SEATTLE BUSINESS MEN
ON SECOND TRADE TOUR

On Wednesday morning about 125
representatives from the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and CONNER
cial Club visited Colville in the in
terests of trade extension. The men,
travelling on a special train, spent
about four hours with local mer-
chants.
These men were furthering the
products of the Pacific Northwest in
their tour, learning what is being
produced in the different places visit
ed and informing the different COM
munities what they are producing
with the idea of bringing about
closer spirit of cooperation and
closer bond of business and social
friendship and helpfulness between
the different communities and sec
tions of the state. Seattle realizes
that that which tends to the develop
ment and growth of the Inland En-
pire means growth and prosperity for
Seattle and cities on Puget Sound.

STEVENS COUNTY DEVELOPS
MANY RESOURCES IN DECADE

Stevens county is rated by the
Washington Farmer as one of the
most prosperous counties in the state,
and has gained this place within the
last ten years through its many re-
sources, timber, mining, farming,
dairying and stock raising.
Twenty years ago Stevens county
had not shipped to the open markets
of the world a dozen carloads OF
lumber. In the 10-year period just
following, the lumber movement was
slow, but during the last ten years,
probably 1OO,0O0,0O0 feet were shipp-
ed at $40 thousand feet. In 1920
alone more than that amount Of lum-
Der will be manufactured and market
ed at an average estimated price OF
$50 thousand feet, bringing back to
the county approximately $3,0OO,OO0.
The lumber supply of Stevens county
it is figured will last 30 years and
even then there will be sufficient for
all local needs. Today the cedar pole
industry of the county has reached
large size, bringing annually re-
turn of thousands of dollars.
During the last five years, Stevens
county has led every other county in
the state in the value of mineral pro-
duced. 1t has the largest lead pro-
ducing, the largest copper producing
and the largest gold producing mines
in the state. At Northport there Is

Mayor Charles A. Fleming of Spo-
kane, democratic candidate for con-
gress in the fifth district, has twice
been mayor of Spokane in the past
five years and he has been men,
Der of the city council for the past
seven years. Prior to that time he
was city clerk for ten years and he
has been resident of the fifth con-
gressional district for 23 years. His
name was put on the ticket at the
insistance of the democrats of Spo-
kane county. Mr.. Fleming's record
as an official of the city of Spokane
bristles with battles waged on behalf
of the people. His first fight fol-
lowing his election as city commits
sioner in 1918 was a bitter opposi-
tion to the telephone monopoly COM
bine, which ultimately went into eff
feet despite his efforts. He opposed
a proposed raise in electrical rates
next and was successful in defeating
the measure. At the present time
he is firmly demanding of the inter-
state utilities commission that re-
quested raise in gas rates be abso-
lutely justified before being granted.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Flem-
ing personally, approximately $780,
900 worth of army meats was offer
ed to the people of Spokane. This
has meant saving of thousands of
dollars to those people and has aided
