COFFIN FINANCES OPENING
OF RICH GALENA PROPERTY

C. A. Coffin, who last fall pur-
chased from Walter Donner the lease
on the Coyote galena property in To-
38-42, northeast of Colville, has fl
nanced a syndicate which will com
mence development on this claim as
soon as the snow is gone. So far
as the necessary development for
shipping is concerned, only the build
ing of less than a mile of wagon
road is actually necessary, for the
mineralized dixie is 500 feet in width
and can be Immediately mined with
a steam shovel The two assays on
this property showed: First assay
122 oz. silver and 41aft lead. Second,
433.44 OF. silver and 26.31% lead.
Should the average ore prove to be
worth not more than $40 a ton,
there is about 100000 worth of ore
now in sight, without development.
The galena lies in dolomite lime
formation, in two bluffs standing out
prominently on a fiat, the bluffs APP
parently all being mineralized. Mr..
Coffin, who is serving as trustee for
the property, has had two reports
made on the property by Spokane
mining men, and both reports indi-
cate the belief that big strike has
been made.

TO PAY TAXES
ON ALL DOGS
NEW LAW PROVIDES FOR
ASSESSING DOGS AND FOR
COLLECTION OF TAXES
Cities and Towns Will Get Funds
Arising From Assessment of
Their Own Dogs

The legislature of the state of
Washington at the 1919 session
passed a law providing that the
county assessor should assess all dogs
within the county and should make
an assessment roll covering such
assessment and turn same over to
the county treasurer for collection
This law provides, among other
things, that this assessment shall be
paid on or before the first day of
June, 1920, and if not so paid it
becomes the duty of the county
treasurer to certify all dogs whose
license tax is not paid to the sheriff,
who shall proceed to kill, or cause to
be killed, all such dogs found in the
county without a tag showing the
payment of the tax for the current
year.
The above law provides the date
of delinquency, but fails to provide
any date when the treasurer shall
begin the collection of such license
tax and in view of the fact that the
assessment work was begun by the
county assessor on March /, 1920,
the treasurer cannot expect to receive
the roll covering the assessment on
dogs, until the work of the field
assessors has been completed. Thus
the county treasurer has not the
necessary data on hand to issue the
receipts as required under the pro
visions Of this act. However, for
the convenience of the public, taxes
will be accepted and the regulation
receipt as prescribed by the state Of
Washington will be issued to any
owner of dogs so assessed. Provided
such owner will send or bring to
the county treasurer's office the de
tailed assessment sheet covering the
assessment on such dog or dogs, and
such sheet must accompany the re-
mttance or tender Of payment in
order that the law may be complied
with in the issuing Of receipts. If
such assessment sheet is not present
ed, receipt can not be issued or pay
ment accepted.
The law further provides that all
license taxes collected within the in
corporate limits of cities of the first
second and third class shall be credit
ed to the funds as provided by or
dinance of such city, and such col
lectons, though made by the county
treasurer, will be RENTED to the
city treasurer.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
TO GIVE COMEDY-D

The all-high school play "The
Private Secretary" will be presented
at the Colville theatre Friday eve
ming, March 10, by cast selected
from the student body of the Col
vile high school. This old English
farce comedy has been delighting
audiences for the past quarter CEN
tury in both Europe and America,
having been translated into the Ger
man and French languages.
Almost from the rise of the curtain
to the drop of the curtain in the
third act, excruciatingly comical sit
uations arise with wonderful rapidity,
and the audience is treated to the
laugh of a lifetime at the expense
of the parson private secretary Ro-
bert Spaulding, of the unsophisti-
Gated landlady Mrs. Stead. The
cracked uncle who insists that his
nephew sow his wild oats before he
will do anything for him and the
tailor Mr. Gibson, who would be a
gentleman and soar in the upper
crust of society, are two strong
characters long to be remembered.
The cast which follows has been
faithful and has worked with enthu-
siasm under the direction Of Miss

the BASEBALL
LEAGUE PLAN
PLANS MADE FOR JOINING NEW
INLAND EMPIRE BASEBALL
LEAGUE
Colville Fans Attend Spokane Meet
ing and Arrange for Local Par
ticipatiOn This Season

The Inland Empire Baseball League
is to be the official organization for
baseball in the larger towns of
Eastern Washington this year. At
a meeting held in Spokane last week,
representatives from a number of
towns met with those who have been
interested in Spokane city league
baseball for some time, and plans
were made for the formation of a
league which shall include the best
towns in the Inland Empire
From May 16 to Labor Day the
schedule will be played Among the
towns mentioned for membership are
Colville, Chewelah, Davenport, Har
rington, Rosalia, Fairfield, Winona,
Tekoa, Rockford, Newport. Spokane
will enter two teams.
George Varnell of Spokane has
been elected president and manager
of the new league, and Mr.. Cline
smith secretary. A treasurer and
vice president will be elected at a
meeting to be held in Spokane March
10, at which time various applica-
tions for membership will be con-
sidered, and a definite schedule fixed
Atty John T. Raftis and J. c.
Hard represented Colville at last
weeks meeting, and arranged for
Colville's membership in the league.
The class of baseball which ColviIle
has shown in past years has made
this city one of the sure members.
Amateur rather than professional
talent will rule in the personnel of
the league teams. Colville has suf-
ficient material now to form a good
team, although a pitcher may be
added

STATE GRANGE
MASTER SPEAKS
WILLIAM BOUCk HAS GOOD
AUDIENCE AT GRANGE HALL
WEDNESDAY, EVENING
Discusses Questions Relating to
Cooperation and Marketing of
Farm Products

VIM. Bouck, master of the state
grange, gave an important address
at the Fort COlville grange hall
Wednesday evening, at an open meet
ing of the grange. More than 100
were in attendance, a number of the
high school boys in the agricultural
class hearing him. Mr.. Bouck spoke
more than two hours, dealing largely
with the question of marketing the
farm crops. He pointed to number
of elements which tend to rob the
farming producer of a large part of
his possible profit, and pointed to
suggested remedies.
Among his statements was that the
American farmers received but ten
billion dollars from the thirty-two-
billion crop of 1919, the gamblers
on the grain and stock exchanges of
Chicago, Minneapolis and New York
getting most of the balance, w
several million of the working classes
are at the same time being underfed
and undernourished. The remedy i,
a system of municipal marketing,
where the farmers take over CO
operatively and municipality the mills
and packing and shipping plants and
sell directly to municipalities or food
distributing agencies licensed by the
municipalities.
He stated that sugar is selling in
Australia at 7c pound, and that the
entire Cuban sugar crop was offered
last year to the L. S. Food Admins
tration at size pound. The 1919
sugar crop in the world was very
large. Flour made Of American
wheat is selling cheaper in England
than in America. Gamblers always
raise the price of the farmers pro
duce after it is sold from the farm.
In discussing the railroad situation,
Mr.. Bouck stated that the railroads
are capitalized at more than twice
their value, and earnings are taken
to pay dividends on this watered
stock; that the roads and roadbeds
were robbed of upkeep on account Of
this fictitious value, and were in poor
condition when taken over by the
government, and we paid for the use
of the railroads twice what they were
worth. That the railroads made
money during the war considering
their real cost and value.
He closed by showing why farmers
are organizing and combining for
their own protection, organizing CO.
operative societies and stores, ma
tional and state banks, etc. He de-
cried the pollution of the news of
the nation, saying that much of the
news was a dirty stream of high
finance, and that the time had come
when we must have the real facts
printed.

COLNILLE YOUNG PEOPLE
AND THE SUMPTUARY LAW
(Ry the Occasional NisitOr)

The pupils of the Colville high
school have ruled in favor Of khaki
and gingham. They are going to
fight old H. C. l.. Well, here's to
them and their good intentions. We
admire their spirit
But this they should remember:
There have been sumptuary laws be-
fore. What, forsooth, is a sumptuary
law? Listen to old Webster: claws
intended to restrain or limit the eX-
penditure of citizens in apparel, food,
furniture, etc, laws which forbid or
restrict the use of certain articles,
as of luxurious apparel"
Somehow, human nature is so CON
structed that sumptuary law is
likely to be more honored in the
breach than in the observance. We
Just don't like to dress as the other
fellow thinks we ought. The fact
that resort to the spanking machine
was necessary at so early date
only gives point to this observation.
There were sumptuary laws in the
time of good Queen Bess, so history
tells us. Yet, consider the Eliza
bethan ruff and the gold and silver
embroideres that went with it! We
hope for the best, young folks; but
we are prepared for the worst.
However, joking aside, isn't khaki
as quietly pleasing color as one
would wish to wear? And is any
thing fresher and prettier than a
clean bingham dress?

w. X. White, well known pioneer
of Stevens county, who 30 years ago
claimed the lands now occupied by
the county farm and hospital, spend
ing nearly years in the process Of
perfecting title, also engaging his
time in mining just over the border
in British Columbia, spent couple
of days here this week visiting old
time friends while on his way from
California back to the mines near
Grand Forks, B. C. Mr.. White was
one of the first men to come back
from British Columbia and offer his
services to Uncle Sam when war
broke over US two years ago, and
while he was too old for active SER
vice, being nearly 65 years of age,
he made good in the Spruce division
where he spent two years in mill
and railway construction. After the
men in his division, where he served
as foreman, disbanded, he went back
to visit at his old home in the Miss
issippi valley where he had not been
for more than generation.

COLVILLE VALLEY AND STE

LY PROSPEROUS
Mines. Forests and Farms Are Civ.
ing Their Bounty Toward
Healthful Conditions

There has never been a time when
there was more prosperity or a bet
ter outlook for future business and
growth than at present in the Col
vile valley. The better farms in
the valley have been in actual de
mand during the last six months,
the absence of crop failures in this
vicinity attracting much attention
throughout the northwest. While
lands were parched and unproduc
tive east, west and south of Spokane
the beautiful green hues Of the Col
vile valley have been heralded far
and wide by visitors and homeseekers.
Many transfers of farm property
have been made at high prices COM
pared with those of a few years ago,
and more inquiries are constantly
coming IN.
The city of Colville has had its
share of the general feeling of pros
porous growth, and the chamber of
commerce has been in receipt of an
unusually large number of inquiries.
The lack Of houses in Colville has
actually made it necessary for desir-
ing residents to buy in order to live
here, and the construction of at least
so homes this year is imperative.
The paving of the business streets
with cement last year, coupled with
the probability that more will be
paved this year, has given decided
impetus to property transfers in the
business district A number of new
bricks will be erected on Main street
this year, to accommodate growing
business.
The demand for metals has caused
all of our producing mines to become
active. The Electric Point, the Last
Chance and the Old Dominion are
in operation, and many promising
properties will be opened up and
worked as soon as possible. ,
lumber mills are running full capac-
ity, and the new finishing plant in
Colville is being erected as fast as
labor and material can be assembled
The mills at Arden, which have been
overhauled and equipped, are now in
operation, and will be busy all season,
the mills being owned by North
Dakota farmers and the lumber being
sold to the stockholders.
The coal mine at Valley is expected
to deliver considerable output this
year. The search for oil at Chewelah
will commence Immediately, and
should a favorable result be secured,
the many oil possibilities throughout
the valley will be investigated.
Not the least of the resources of
this vicinity is the growing pure
bred cattle industry. Many pure
bred animals now grace the farms
where only few years ago the
"boarders" kept the owners poor,
and the banks are using the limit
of their facilities in encouraging this
valuable industry, both in beef and
milk type. The Spokane marketing
facilities for beef and the Colville
market for butterfat are factors in
this growth.
There is no boom and there will
be no boom, in this vicinity. A
steady growth is here. The elfec
of the war were to retard building
and improvements. The necessity for
these is now here, and is being
handled
