because they happen to own dogs.
According to statements made by
county officials, the assessor certi-
fled to the county treasurer that there
were about 1860 dogs in the county.
Under the law, this tax must be paid
on or before June 1, and according
to the treasurer's certified list to the
sheriff on June 10, there are now G25
delinquent dogs, which under the law
the sheriff is required to kill.
According to statements made by
the assessor, treasurer and sheriff,
the additional expense to the county
for blanks and blank books for the
collection of this tax far exceeds the
amount that will be paid in by the
dog owners. Therefore instead Of
the law being a benefit, it is an adj
ditional expense and the penalties re-
quired act as a premium much the
same as the bounty on coyotes. 4
further expense is yet to come when
the sheriff is required under the law
to go to Clayton, Williams Valley,
Tum Tum, jerome or Boundary,
distance of from so to 65 miles. 1t
will cost the county or the sheriA's
office at least $50 to kill or collect on
a one dollar dog. OF course after
the sheriff has killed a delinquent
dog, his hide and carcass become the
property of Stevens county, and
should as a matter of humane pro
cedure be fittingly and properly in
tered at an additional expense.
Therefore it is plain to be seen that
the new dog law costs more than il

SHOULD COUNTY HAVE A
DEMONSTRATIONS AGENT

"Why doesn't Stevens county have
a home demonstration agent?" was
asked a representative Of the Exam
iner by young married woman who
had come recently from Yakima" In
Yakima county," she continued
"Miss Inez Armstrong was busy
from morning till night, and any
body could have her services for the
asking. The women Of the neigh
borhood formed a club and she came
to US once a week, remaining all
day. She taught Us home dress
making and tailoring and home can
ming. This skirt cost me just $3.50,
and those in the stores are $50.
Why doesn't Stevens county have a

What is a home demonstration

woman who goes into the homes to
show how problems Of the women
folk can be met. She is at the call
of any woman in the county. tn"
is much in the field of extension work
with farm women that needs the
sympathetic assistance Of the woma.
leader. The farm home is so close
ly bound to the farm business that
they are really two parts of the same
problem; work in relation to either
necessarily involving the other. at
is because of this interdependence Of
the farmer and his wife that, before
there was such a thing as q woman
demonstration agent, the county agent
did all he could to help the farm
woman, paying attention, as the same
bulletin says "to the problems Of the
home particularly to home sanitation,
water supply, sewage disposal, heat
ing and lighting, fly campaigns, the
vegetable garden, home canning,
beautifying of home grounds, poultry
keeping, etc" But the problems OF
the farm woman were too much for
the agriculturist. He soon began
to demand a woman to help hlm.
Like many other important enter
prses, county extension work needs
a woman to supplement the work OF
the man. To go back to the eXhorta-
ton of the little lady Of the first

AUTO TRUCKS DO MOST
OF HAULING IN COUNTY

Few people realize the extent OF
the auto truck business in and around
Colville. There are about 70 trucks
hauling logs, lumber, shingle bolts,
ties, poles and dolomite into town.
The length of their trips varies from
to 20 miles, the dolomite quarries
being the nearest point from which
they come and Aladdin the furthest
AS to the money involved in this
wholesale transfer of materials, the
cost of the trucks is between $500
and $500 each. Each driver gets
from Sc to 81 per day. As many
trucks are driven from 8 to l6 OF
even "a hours a day, it would be safe
to estimate the daily pay roll at $500
and the number of drivers at 90.
The Robbins Lumber company is at
present hauling its product by truck
from Aladdin to ColvilIe, although
it has proposed that a railroad be
put in for the purpose Of tapping
Aladdin, and the middle and south
fork of Mill creek.

ISN'T THE NEW DOG LAW
AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY?
(Contributed)

The new dog law which is now in
effect does not seem to function in the
manner in which our lawmakers as
sumed it would. Under this law
the county assessor is required to
list and assess all dogs in the county.
This assessment is not based on a val
uation as in the cases of other ami
mails, but a fiat rate of 81 on all male
dogs and $3.50 on all female dogs is
required to be paid by the owners.
Not being on an assessed valuation
it seems as though it is intended that
the owner of the male dog should be
required to pay a penalty of 81 and
that the owner of female dog should
be required to pay penalty of $3.50

ROBBINS LUMBER COMPANY
BUYS OLD BANK BUILDING

A transfer of real estate of, per-
haps, considerable Significance to
those interested in the development
of Colville is the purchase this week
of the old home Of the Bank of Col
vile, now occupied by the Baker
studio, by the Robbins Lumber com
pany of Aladdin, who intend to use it
for their general office building. The
company has also bought the build
ings in the rear for garage and
storehouse. These purchases, con-
sidered in connection with their re-
cent requirement of the 12-acre tract
west of the depot for a place on which
to pile their lumber, would indicate
that they mean to divert a large
amount of their business to Colville.
That this business is a very consid-
cradle one is evidenced by the fact
that the company is completing at
Aladdin new double-cut band saw
mill, said to be the only one in this
part of the country. Their timber
holdings in the vicinity Of Mill creek
and Echo valley comprise 22O0 acres.
The Robbins Lumber company con-
sists of F. S. Robbins and H. G. Rob
bins, father and son. Before COM
ing to Washington, the elder Rob
bins had been in the lumber business
for 80 years in Rhinelander, Wis.
About six years ago, H, G, Robbins,
his son, became interested in the pos
sibilities of the west.

LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION
ISSUES PREMIUM LIST

Two thousand copies of the book
let containing the program and
premiums of the Stevens County
. Livestock show and County Agri
cultural fair are now ready for dis
tribution. The booklet contains 48
pages this year instead of the 40 of
last year, and is printed upon a finer
grade of book paper, 1t has been
patronized literally by the advertisers
of Colville and elsewhere. Distri-
button will be through the stores and
banks of the county as well as by
the officers of the association who are
as follows: T. C. Bell, president,
Colville; H. T. Skeels, vice president,
Addy; E. C. Durdle, treasurer, Col
vile; DR.. L. H. Rothlisberger, secre-
tary, Colville.
The revival of the agricultural
fair in connection with the livestock
show makes the event of unusual
interest. There is complete agri-
cultural premium list, prizes to the
amount of $34750 having been do
mated by interested parties. The 3
banks of Colville each gave S75, MAX
ing 1925 in all, in addition to other
moneys for the livestock show and
for various purposes.
The livestock classification has been
worked over and improved No dis
elimination is shown among the six
breeds of cattle represented in the
county, one premium list exactly du-
plicating the other.
This will be the first fair and live
stock show to be held at the new
Fairgrounds, an ideal place for such
a gathering. The grounds have
been laid out with future needs in
mind. Every building now standing
OF any one built in the future is a
permanent structure. 1t will not be
necessary to remove it when the time
for further development arrives. All
buildings will be placed upon the
north and west side. An aeroplane

center of the grounds. There is a
large grandstand on the east side Of
the grounds in front of which is an
oblong oval quarter-mile track and
a rectangle for football and
diamond for baseball. To quote
from the booklet itself: "The grounds
have been newly laid out by a land
scape engineer. Much new erecting
has already been done and more will
have been erected by the time of the
show New stable room will be
provided in addition to that already
on the ground. The grandstand with
athletic fields and quarter-mile track
are already in existence. There will
be ample facilities for the care of
all stock"
The Colville Chamber of Commerce
are making plans to hold the Yep
Kanum celebration at the same time
as the livestock show.
