list, and are hanpering the develop
ment of potential water routes for fear
they may become actual competing
lines.
Indeed, so far is their foresight
thrust to prevent growing competi-
ton by water. that they have secured
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission a ruling that to justify and
hold competitive water rate to a
certain point there must be existing
not in future-a material, actual COM
petition by water. The ruling goes
SO far as to hold that a potential wa
terway freight route cannot, and will
not, be accepted as ground for low
ering the rail rate to that point This
being interpreted means that because
we have called ourselves a port in
the past, and because we have had a
limited amount of freight shipped by
boat through it at irregular times. will
not justify our claim to a competing
water route, and the lowering of the
all rail rate to meet it equitably. Just
as one swallow does not make sum-
mer. so one boat or one barge is held
not to make competitive water
route for freight.
In view of this late ruling and the
movement of the railroads to take
advantage of it. to have competitive
water rates readjusted on the ground
that there is no water competition in
fact, it behooves Tampa to get into ac-
ton and see that it has actual freight
lines established between this port
10
portance. It is essential that we do
this even to hold the rates now in ex-
istence; for as sure as they are able
to, the rail lines will take advantage
of the I. G. G. decision in every place
where it is possibleeto get by with it.
Those who doubt that the railroads
will take away any water competitive
rate now in existence unless there is
an actual existing and material water
competition, will do well to attend
the meeting which has been called to
meet in Atlanta, July IL, by the
Fourth section committee of South
ern carriers" This committee an
nounces it will hear discussion on "the
general advance in rates" which it
has prepared. The invitation reads in
part:
Following certain decisions of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
fourth section orders affecting the adj
justment of rates to and from points
in Southern territory, and the amend
ment of the fourth section of the act
to regulate commerce by the trans
portation act of 1920, the Southern
carriers appointed a special commit
tee to review and readjust, under the
fourth section principles set forth in
the said decisions and the amended
four section, rates from Ohio river
crossings, st. Louis, Mo-. Memphis
and Nashville. Tenn, Gulf ports and
Mississippi river crossings, South At

ADVENTIST SCHOOLS

After a year of closed doors from
lack of a teacher, the Seventh Day
Adventists denominational school
has reopened, with an attendance
of 13 pupils.
The Adventists have an ex-
emplary school. Graduates are eli
gible for high school admittance.
Some of the courses of the public
school are used, and some of the
work is denominational in charac-
ter.
The Bible is used as a literary
study, and Biblical stories replace
fables. In addition to the regular
curriculum of study, music, draw
ing, penmanship, sewing and man
ual training are taught. The school
comes under the supervision of the
superintendent Of schools.
The teacher is Miss Elizabeth

Successful Clinic
Held in CO|Vi||e

Stevens county's first tuberculosis
clinic was held in Colville Wednes-
day afternoon and Thursday morn
ing, in charge of Dr. Frederick Sly
field of Seattle, senior physician in
charge of the Pulmonary Hospital of
Seattle, and representing the Wash
ington tuberculosis association. He
was assisted by the physicians of
this county, and the county nurse
Miss w. G. Glokner.
Twenty-seven suspects were ex-
amined and the finding ranged all
the way from serious cases of tu-
berculosis in advanced stages to bad
teeth, curvature of the spine, bad
tonsils, bad heart, and undernourish-
ment. The findings of fact were
stated to the patients, and in all
cases the reports and suggestions
for treatment We're referred direct
to the family physician, the exam
ining doctor prescribing nothing
direct to the patient.
"The clinic is the best means of
getting results" said Dr. Slyfeld,
because it brings the people to a
realization that prevention and ear
ly attention are worth health and
money to the community. 1t is
planned to hold a clinic here every
three months. Clinics are only held
in the counties which have county
nurses, and her aid is indispensable.
Several people are saved for every
case found, us records show that
every person who dies of tubercuo-
sis has infected four other people.
Loss of weight and incipient cases
of tuberculosis are often discovered
in the clinic, where otherwise they
would not be discovered until the
patient has an advanced stage of
the disease A school child with tu-
berculosis can easily infect dozen
children, as the sputum frequently
is the real carrier of the disease
The danger Of undiscovered cases in
the schools is very grave, and a
county without a county nurse who
makes frequent examinations of
pupils is taking chances which may
be avoided. Strict watch should
be kept of people who work in pub
lie places, public offices, and places
where foods are sold or handled"
When asked regarding the work
of other counties, DR.. Slyfield said:

Not much is known of the Deer

present writing. Always fast,
tricky team, the eleven from the
south end of the county this sea-
son are proving no exception to the
rule. A good idea of their caliber
can be had from their game played
against the North Central high

That there will be changes in the
local lineup is certainty but just
what men will be shifted Coach
Oberhansly is unable to say. 1t
is known that the coach is contem-
plating some changes in the back
field and also intends to shift his
line in an endeavor to get more
balance. But when it comes to
giving any of the details, he is
mum. Wait and see is the policy
that is being followed at the pres
ent time.

Rife Squad is
Getting Stronger

Colville's rifle squad has increas-
ed to 18 rifiemen fully instructed
in their duties, the various alarms
which call them, where they shall
station themselves, and what to do
under various circumstances. Chief
of Police Frank Perras states that
he has some of the best rife shots
in the county enlisted in the Col
vile rife squad for the protection
of Colville life and property. He
has been besieged by applicants for
admission to the squad, and has
been obliged to turn down some
very good men for the reason that
they might not be able to give quick
response in the locality needed
Should any emergency arise under
which the squad is called into ac-
ton, the chief urges that house
holders who have only revolvers
should stay at home and look after
their immediate neighborhood, as
extra revolvers will not be of any
assistance to the rife squad, and
extra people unarmed on the street
will not tend to assist in the plans
which have been formulated.

NEW LUMBER COMPANY
REPORTS GOOD BUSINESS

That the lumber business in and
around Colville in on the road to
it's former prosperity may be taken
from the statement recently made
by Bernard B. Barber of Barber
and company, dealers in wholesale
and retail lumber.
"Since the organization of the
company, business has been un-
usually good" said Mr.. Barber,
"much better than I had anticipated.
Unless something unforeseen hap
pens, l look for good season this
fall"
Mr.. Barber, who has had con-
siderable experience in the lumber
business, came to Colville direct
from the coast where he has been
associated with the Cascade Lum-
Der company of Yakima.

Successful Stock Show and Fair
Parades, Exhibits, Indians, Midway
Attractions Please Big Crowds

approximately 600 children,
band of cowboys, 80 Indians in full
tribal costumes from the different
reservations, and 81 decorated autos
took part in the opening parade of
the Stevens County Livestock and
Fair associations eighth annual
show The parade, which was held
on Main street from Beach avenue
to Second avenue, was a half mile
in length.
Leading the parade was the Col
vile band headed by Prof. NJ W..
Meyer. Following close behind the
band came Princess Amatap, Miss
Dorothy Diffenbacher of this city,
and her five attendants, Miss
Louise Brown of Chewelah, Miss
LYDIA Erwin Of Valley, Miss Pearl
Lair of Marcus, Miss Zita Rowe of
Northport, and Miss Ruth Brown of
Kettle Falls. The princess and her
attendants were gowned in full
Indian dress.
Following the princess and her at
tendants came the Indians, dressed
in their tribal costumes. Experts
on Indian costumes placed the value
on the different costumes all the
way from $75 to. $3.50. As to the
Indians in the parade, it was easily
the best representation of Indians
in quality, quantity and dress that
any parade yet staged in Colville
has had. Twenty-six of the Indians
in the parade belong to the Occur
d'Alene reservation. The remain
der was divided between the Cali
spell, Colville and Spokane tribes.
Close upon the Indians came the
cowboys followed by thirteen
ex-service men carrying the Ameri-
can flag and the emblem of the
local legion post. Then came the
decorated autos representing the
different business firms of Colville,
and the new fire truck. The school
children, in platoons led by their
teachers, made showing which
/ can not be equaled by any city the
I size of Colville in the northwest
!. Two thousand dollars is the value
placed on the costumes worn by
Princess Amatap, her five attend
ands and her chaperons in the open
ing parade. The costumes, the
property of the Coeur d'Alene, Cal
ispel and Spokane Indians, were
rented by the general committee Of
the fair for the princess, her at
tendants and her chaperons.
Princess Amatat's costume was OF
pure buckskin as was that worn by
her attendant from Northport, Miss
Zita Rowe. Both suits were mark
ed by fancy bead work. The cos
tunes worn by Miss Louise Brown

Mass Meetings
Consider Problems

A mass meeting of the church
membership of Colville was held at
the M. E. church last Sunday after
noon. Rev. C. E. Whitten of the
NJ. E. church acted as chairman.
The enforcement of the 18th amend
ment was discussed, together with
the measures now before congress
seeking its Interpretation and en-
forcement. Talks were made by
representatives of various churches,
Prof. E. C. Durdle speaking for the
Congregational, Dan Droz for the
Christian, Atty. F. Leo Grinstead
for the Methodist Episcopal and G..
S. Pond for the Free Methodist
church. Rev. Guy B. Denney of the
Free Methodist church pronounced
the invocation and benediction.
By unanimous vote of the
audience, the following telegram
was sent to the states representa-
tives in congress:
"The people of the United States
by a decided majority have made
the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquor crime. We oppose
the weakening of the 18th amend
ment in any way. We are in favor
of the Willis-Campbell bill prohibit
ing the manufacture of light wines
and beer and we are heartily in IA
vor of the strict enforcement of the
Volstead Act and any other act or
measure that will put an end to the
liquor traffic"
This telegram was signed by rep
resentatives of five Colville
churches.
Favor Board of Charities
A correlation of all public charity
in Colville was favored by the meet
ing. Presentation of present con-
ditions was made by different
speakers, showing that there is no
uniformity and no source of infor-
nation in Colville respecting public
charity. Statements were made
that under the present lack of sys-
TEN, the professional and undeserv-
ing mendicants were able to get
money, while deserving cases We're
overlooked. 1t is suggested that
Colvi1le Board of Charities be fofni-
ed in the city, with representative
from each of the churches, one from
the chamber of commerce, one from
the Red Cross, and one from each
of the other organizations which
have been doing work along this
line.
By vote of the meeting, it was
decided to hold a mass meeting of
all citizens on some Sunday eve
ming, for the purpose of forming
such a board. A committee was
named to make arrangements for
such meeting, the committee
members being F. Leo Grinstead,
E. C. Durdle, J. C. Harrigan.
The committee has arranged for
the mass meeting to be held at the
M. E. church Sunday night, Oct. 3,

clared that proposals. for closer CO.
operation with the other branches
were useless and that efforts
should be made for an organic
union.
Discussion Of the church union
was followed later by debate on
reorganization and consolidation

up by the report of special COM
mittee which proposed that some
plan be worked out by which the
number of boards be reduced and
much overlapping work eliminated.
Resolutions adopted declared
that the assembly while willing

HELP SOUGHT To
SEND MEX|CANS
To THEIR HOMES
Miners Who Have Been
Thrown Out of Work in
Arizona Said To Be in a
Destitute Condition.
(ny The AssocIated rress. }

Z Phaenix .Arize, May 2s.--.H~ r.
Mines, state immigration commits
sioner, today received request
from f. f. Kellnes, Jr.. of Su-
perior, asking that something be
done to repatriate Mexicans, who
were said to be in a destitute con-
dition in the vicinity of Superior
These Mexlcans are men who have
been thrown out of work by the
closing of the mines in that dis
trict, and their families.
Mr.. Mines conferred with Mex
lean Consul Gayou here, and then
asked Mr.. Kellner to make a sur
vey to determine how many of
the Mexicans wished to be sent
back to Mexico. After this is
known, he said, the Mexican con-
sui will ask the consulate general
at Ell Paso for money to help pay
the expenses of the trip.
The Mexicans at Superior, Mn
Mines explained, are not in the
same class as the cotton pickers
were with regard to repatriation.
The cotton pickers were brought
into the state, he said, under con-
tract and were guaranteed return
transportation into Mexico. He ex-
planned that any action taken to
repatriate the Mexican miners and
the families would be done not to
fulfill an obligation, but merely to
help maintain cordial relations be-
tween the United States and
Mexico.
