SuitfOr Hotel Control

P. B. Dingle and A. l.. Dinge, as
.-Ecsshand and wife, on last Saturday
filed in the superior court a suit
against William Elliott, in which
they seek to recover possession of
the Hotel Covile including the lands,
lots 8, 9 and 10 in block 1 Of Chand-
lers addition to Colvile. In their
complaint, the moving parties to the
suit allegc: "That on the 23rd day
of October, 1919, plaintiffs and de
fendant entered into written land
contract by which plaintiffs agree to
sell to the defendant the property
above described for and in considera-
ton of the sum Of $l5,500; $4,000 to
be paid down in cash and property,
and the balance to be paid at the rate
of $50 and 5000 per month until all
of the purchase price was paid, eX-
cept $4,000, when a deed was to be
issued and a mortgage given back to
the plaintiffs by the defendant for
said sum last above mentioned; all
deferred payments to bear interest
at the rate of III per annum. And
it was further agreed that the defen
dant would make all payments as in
said contract provided and would pay
all taxes, both general and special,
assessed upon and against the prop
erty above described" Further aver
ments in the complaint are to the
effect that the defendant Elliott on
October 23rd went into possession Of
the hotel, which is a three-story brick
building, and in divers ways failed
and neglected to keep the covenants
of his agreement, in that he refused
to pay special street grade assess
ment for Nov. 1919, and keep the
property and equipment in repair,
allowed the business to fail in such
manner as to deprecate the value of
the property, so that on April Bird,
1920, the plaintiffs served written no
tice upon defendant to quit said
premises because of such alleged de-
IdulI anu d utllldI'l hdo ~
plaintiffs for possession Of the prop
erty. That, instead of peaceably re-
linquishing possession of the said
property, plaintiffs hold out that de-
fendant is unlawfully holding and
keeping possession of said property
by force, threats and violence. Plain
tiTs further declare that they have
been damaged in the sum of $500 by
reason of the unlawful Withholding
from them of said premises. A writ
of custer was issued by Judge Carey
against defendant upon bond filed
by the plaintiffs in the sum of $1,000.
The bond was signed by p. b. DIngle
and A. l.. Dingle as principals and
J. w. Reynolds and Olive Reynolds
as sureties. Mr.. Elliott viii oppose
the action, his attorneys being W.
Lon johnson and +. Leo Grinstead.
Atty. l.. C. Jesseph Of Spokane rep
resents the Dingles.

DR.. CLARK QUITS
PRACTICE HERE
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
FORCED BY ILL HEALTH TO
TAKE A VACATION
Rclinquishes Large Practice Which
Has Been Built During Nine Years
Residence in COlville

DIR. |. s. Clark, for nine years a
practicing physician and surgeon in
Colville, and for a number of years
health officer of Stevens county, an
nounced this week that because Of
i'll health he is obliged to quit his
practice in Colville. He spent last
week in Spokane comforting with
medical associates, and he finds no
alternative except to close his prac-
tice Immediately and take steps to-
ward repairing his health.
During the last year Dr., Clark has
been gradually failing in health, but
the calls for medical work in the Col
vile territory have been so strenuous
shat he did not give heed to the
symptoms which warned him of a
possible breakdown, and it is now
evident that he made calls upon
patients in city and country who were
in far better health than the doctor
himself.
DR.. Clark has a ranch at Spokane
Bridge on the Spokane river, where he
expects to spend the summer. He
will dispose of his practice and home
in Colville and devote his entire time
to recuperating.

CEMENT FOR
FIRST AVENUE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TAKES
ACTION TO IMPROVE MAIN
ARTERY OF COMMERCE
General Meeting Adopts Plan For
Roadway, and Names Committee
TO Handle Matter of Donations

First avenue, running from Main
street to the depot, is to be paved,
according to plans originated at a
general meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Tuesday evening. The
plan provides for cement roadway
"a feet wide in the center of the
street Cement sidewalks are already
in, and the intervening space will
probably be grassed.
For many years this main artery
from the railway to the city has
seen constant efforts to change it
from a swamp to a street, but the
increasing traffic has made the prob
lem one which can be met only with
cement. The assessed valuation of
the so lots facing the street has been
so low that an assessment district
has not been feasible. Therefore the
Chamber of Commerce has taken up
the matter.
At the meeting Tuesday evening,
dinner was served at $3.50 by the
ladies of the Rebekah lodge. About
IS plates were laid. w. A. Acorn,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, was in charge of the meeting,
but turned the chair over to Secre-
tary J. C. Harrigan of the park
board. The work of the last two
years in preparing the stock show
grounds was reported by w. w.
Campbell, former secretary, and I.
C. Bell, president of the livestock
association.
The matter of First avenue paving
was presented by Louis G. Keller
and Mayor w. G. Hartwell, and dur
ing the course of the discussion prac-
tically every one present gave an eX-
preston of opinion on the matter,
which was practically unanimous for
paving this year.
1t was planned to pave "a feet in
| the center for a distance of moro
than 3 blocks from Wynne street to
the railway right of way. The assess
ed valuation of the property along
this route totals but $685.. The
estimated cost of paving is in the
neighborhood of $4,000. 1t is pro-
posed to create an improvement dis
trict embracing the property affected,
for such assessments as may be
reasonable on the property, the bal
ance of the paving to be done by
popular subscriptions. Colvile's three
banks made statements of their will
ingness to give substantial sums to-
ward this improvement, and many
members of the budget system of the
| Chamber of Commerce expressed their
willingness to double their subscrip
tions this year, the additional amount
| to go toward paving.
A number of Individual donations
were promised, and three property
owners along the proposed improve
ment signifed their desire to pay
their full proportion of the cost, re-
gardless Of the assessment.
On motion committee was named
to handle the matter of securing do
nations, Louis G. Keller, c. c. Casey
and Louis Strauss constituting this
committee. 1t was agreed that this
committee should select additional
committees to fully cover the ground,
and it is expected that every person
in Colvlle, and even in the surround
ing territory, shall have an opportun-
ity to assist in this project for the
benefit of the traffic which enters
the county seat.
