THE SYMBOL OF HOPE.
|

Much has been said in the public
press recently regarding profiteering.
The average American considers a
ten, or fifteen, or twenty per cent.
profit as fairly legitimate one, but
beyond that he is apt to find fault.
While the tuberculosis Christmas seal
sale inaugurated in 1908 has not
exactly profiteered, it has set
shining example to American business
of how few pennies may be trans
lated into millions of dollars.
The Christmas seal sale that started
in 1908 with a little over 100000 at
tanned a magnitude last year of over
S3,650 900, but in spite of its growth
the total returns from the sale Of
Christmas seals since 1908 have been
only about $16,O0O,OO0. This money
has for the most part been invested
in education and organization. The
tuberculosis movement today, which
is one of the greatest voluntary So
cial work movements in the world, is
a monument to the development OF
the tuberculosis Christmas seal.
But if the Christmas seal had
merely built an organization, the
$16,OOO,O00 would hardly have given
the millions of contributors suffi-
cient return on their money. The
Christmas seal has done more than
that. By community organization
and education it has stimulated the
development of hospitals, sanatoria,
open-air schools, dispensaries and
other agencies for finding tuberculo-
sis until today there is invested in
machinery of this character over
$150,00O,000 and the annual expendi-
ture of these various agencies is
over $30,OO0,000. Most of this
money is being spent from public
funds-city, county, state or federal.
The Christmas seal has made this
development, and one may rightly
therefore say that the $l6,0OO,OOO
that the American public has invested
in Christmas seals in the last thir-
teen years has been multiplied, not
once nor twice, but nearly ten times
and the multiplication is going on
every day.
A dollar invested in Christmas seals
is not a static dollar. 1t keeps
moving, multiplying and growing into
many, many dollars and into renew
ed health and strength.

NEW GAS STATION
ESTABLISHED IN COLVILLE

A new gas station is to be opened
in Colville, within a few weeks, and
preparations are almost completed
for handling an Independent oil in
the Colyille territory.
Willett Bros, proprietors of the
Ford garage, have completed 10,-
900 gallon tank west of the depot,
which will store more than an aver
age carload of oil. The tank at
the garage will hold an additional
900 gallons. A tank wagon has
been secured for use in distributing
the gas throughout the territory.
1t is the plan of Willett Bros to
Wholesale and retail the new oil,
which is intended to be a better
grade for motor use than the gas
now in ordinary use, although cost
ing no more.
Details of the character and test
of the new oil will probably be made
public in a short time. 1t comes
from an Independent refinery, and
users in other parts of the country
are said to be highly pleased with
it's character.

The Production Of
Eggs to Increase
Poultry Project Leaders
Meet and Lay Plans for
Work of 1922

The Poultry Project Leaders of the
Farm Bureau met in Colville on Dec.
5 for the purpose of planning the
poultry program for 1922. The
meeting opened with Mrs. j. F.
Colder, county project leader, as
chairman. Report of the 1921 work
done and the results obtained was
given by the county agent.
w. D. Buchanan, specialist from
the Washington state college, out
lined tentative work for the 1922
program, and with the assistance of
the project leaders the program was
made. Mr.. Buchanan stated that an
average of 1857 of all chicks hatch
ed were raised, over the United states
at large, and that the goal for the
work in Washington in brooding
would be to raise this percentage to
4O@6. Record sheets will be fur
nished the community project leaders
which will have blank entry spaces
pertaining to mortality among the
chicks and the cause of loss, so that
definite check can be made through
the cooperating farmers in ascertain
ing whether this percentage has been
raised or not. Attention will be Civ
en- this year to better breeding, bet
ter hrooding, better feeding and man
agement, rather than the culling.
Culling demonstrations will be put on
in six communities only, where MEM
bers are more in the beginners stage
as poultrymen.
Mr.. Buchanan gave some general
facts relative to the number of
chickens in the state of Washington,
stating that the chicken census of
Washington showed 3,540,O00 chick
ems in the state, with over 100000
of these as hens and that half of
this number of fowls has to be pro-
duced or replaced each year, which
fact is ample proof of the impor-
tance of the question of better brood
ing, feeding and management of
young chicks. The average egg pro-
duction per hen was also definitely
fixed as 831a eggs per hen for the
whole United States. For Washing
ton, which is a poultry state of the
higher rank, 100 to l30 eggs per hen
per year was the figure quoted. The
work to be undertaken by the poultry
committee for the coming year will
also look to the raising of the aver
age egg production.
The final goal set for the work in
1922 was to raise the egg produc-
ton from around 120 to 130 eggs
average per hen to 155 eggs. In the
poultry work the goal set was 40
pullets raised per 100 chickens
hatched. The work charged to the
project leaders was as follows: First,
find place for demonstration and
make arrangements for the demon
stration; second, to advertise meet
ings; third, to distribute report blanks
to cooperators; fourth, to get reports
and mail in to the county project
leader or to the county agent.
A motion carried naming Mrs. j.
+. Colder chairman of the poultry
project leaders committee, and nomi-
mating her to the executive COM
mittee of Stevens County Farm
Bureau, to represent poultry inter
ests.
Among the out-of-town poultrymen
present was G. II. Lumberg of
Springdale, very active and eff
cient poultryman.

My father and 1 came to the
Palouse country from Salem, Oregon,
in the winter of 1876-77. We arrived
at Spokane Falls on February IA,
1877.
In the fall of 1876 | made the trip
across the Cascade mountains on
what is known as the Santiam route.
| rode a cayuse pony over the noun
tains, and by the way, it was in the
same fall, about one month later,
that my old time friend John B.
Slater made the same trip ovel this
self-same trail from Lebanon, Ore
gon. l stopped on Birch creek be-
tween Pilot Rock and Pendleton un-
til my father arrived from Salem.
Ny father had started for Spokane
Falls and insisted that l join him on
this trip, and I consented to do so.
We went over the territorial route
via Walla Walla from Colfax to Spe-
kane Falls, arriving there February
ID, 1876.
The winter of 1876 and 1877 was
a beautiful one, only about two
inches of snow at any one time, the
ground never frozen and with a lot
of beautiful days.
We stopped on Union Flat and
stayed there a day or two with my
fathers friend Chauncey Clutches, he
having known him back in Iowa. Mr..
Clutches was living there on rented
ranch, he having not yet located. The
place he had rented was near Cap
tain Ewert's on Union Flat.
We then went to Colfax and stop
ped a few hours there. Only few
settlers were there at that time,
Judge Perkins, John c. Davenport,
Glenn King and few others. The
Torrance family lived down below
Colfax, and the Loomis family arriv-
ed that fall. The first night out Of
Colfax we spent with Cash-Up Davis.
Mr.. Davis treated US fine and called
our attention to the black Palouse
land and told us that the land was
vacant for twenty-five miles around
his place and insisted on my father
locating a homestead there. He told
us that he was going to build a
wagon road up to the top of Steptoe
butte, a hotel, dance hall and observa-
tory. In after years he did this. l
remember Barney O'Neil, who now
lives at Seattle, and Charles Hinch-
cliff, who lives at Elberton, and I
attended the dance after Cash-Up
Davis finished his. hotel and dance
hall. Mr.. Davis also told us where
Col. Steptoe fought the Indians on
the top of Steptoe butte some years
before.
From here we continued our jour
ney to Whitman station. Whitman
station was where Rosalia now is. We
went on from there and stayed over
night with Gum Hardman and from
there to Spangle. There were few
pioneers at Spangle and a postoffice
kept by William Spangle. Mr.. Span
gle had two sons, George and Henry,
and a brother-in-law, William Tiffin.
We also stopped with the Blaine
Brothers, their names being Winfield,
Lucian, Byron, Charles and Edward.
The Spokane county poor farm now
stands on the Blaine homestead. We
also met Doc Philio, d. F. Percival,
w. A. Sanders and old man Stuttler.
These were about the only inhabi-
tants at Spangle at that time. These
people also insisted on our homestead
ing there, as the land around there
was all vacant. We told them that
we were going to Spokane Fahs, and
they told us we would fffd nothing
there but rock and that the Spokane

Repeal of the Kentucky scdition

Peter J. Campbell, of Louis vile.
who was in the city recently look
ing after preliminary arrange
mcnts for the session which will
begin here September II.
There will be d number of
questions before the assembly for
consideration. Mr.. Campbell said,
ranging in Importance from con-
sideration OF the matters men
toned above to what he charac-
terized as peanut politics" :" The
more-Vital matters, he sad. will
be consideration OF miners safe
ty laws, regulations regarding
wash rooms and other details for
safeguarding the lives and com
fort Of the workers.
Opposition Of miners to the
state constabulary bill which will
come before the next general as
sembly, Secretary Campbell said
is founded on two factors-the
fact that the Kentucky coal fields
are practically free from distur-
Dances affecting fields i'll : Other
states from time to time and the
miners contention that the sup
