THEATRES
Two Big Hits at Crescent

Thomas Meighan is the type OF
star who thrives upon a red-blooded
story with lots of action. He has
been given an ideal vehicle in THE
Frontier of the Stars" from the
magazine serial by Albert Payson
Terhune. The picture is being shown
at the Crescent theatre.
Mr.. Meighan is cast in the same
kind of m~aster-crook role that he
had in 1.-The Miracle Man" He is
an East Side gang leader. who, es-
Gaping from n detective. encounters
upon the roof of a tenement house a
pretty crippled girl. A friendship
develops between the two, and the
\rook, under her influence, goes the
Htraight and narrow.
? Mr.. Meighan's part is a strenuous
! one, requiring him to fight q couple
Of bouts at fisticuffs, to risk his life
in a steel mill accident, and finally
to rescue the heroine from a tene-
ment fire. Fare Binney plays the
role of the girl with winning charm.
1t is a picture of such virile charm
and appeal that none who sees it is
likely soon to forget it.
The program also includes Charles
Ray in Sudden Jim," a great "hick'
picture, a Charlie Chaplin comedy
ind others.

Henry B.. WalthaIl's splendid act
ing has never been more strongly
emphasized than in the CHARACTERIZE
ton of of the man who took the
greatest sporting chance in "A

at the Strand theatre today.
ESshe character, n Of the strang-

Karl NBreftman. the central figure in
the novel of Harold MacGrath,
which has been transferred to the
screen by Allan Dwan and released
by First National. The character of
Breitman is most unusual and inter-

evidence that he is a descendant of

the glory OF the old empire. Be

PROSPECT FOR
new RAILROAD
THAT GREAT NORTHERN MAY
BUILD NEW LINE.
Chamber of Commerce Will Take
Action as to Available Tonnage
and Right of WAY.

According to rumors that are
about Colville. the Great Northern
Railway Company would seriously
consider the establishing of branch
line which would run from COlville
to Deep lake, providing an assured
amount of tonnage would be avail
able. The proposed line would fol-
low Mi' creek to the headwaters
of the south forks of Deep creek to
Deep lake.
The Colville Chamber of Com
merce held meeting last evening
and discussed the ways and means of
getting The proposed line Frop re-
ports of we'll informed men it is es-
timated that over 5000 cars of lum-
ber. $500 cans Of cedar poles are
available for shipment through the
establishment of the road. rs well as
200 cars of pig iron that could be
easily smelted at the property of the
Northwestern IrCn and Steel Com
pany at Deep lake.
The chamber will also ask the CO.
operation of the owners of land
where the proposed line will run as
to the granting Of a right of way,
The establishment Of this road would
open vast amount of territory,
which comprises Threeforks, Lloyd
hill country, Aladdin Harriet basin
and The Deep lake tributary, and
would increase the value of all lands
IN the vicinity.
The Great Northern is taking up
its track from the boundary line to
Rossland, and has an application
with the Interstate Commerce COM
mission to tear up the connecting
link from Northporc to the boundary
line, and this road material would
be easily available for the proposed
road.
The chamber of commerce asks all
who are familiar with the territory
to send il a report of the amount
of tonnage they would have, and es-
pecially large pole and timber hold
ers
Complete data will be gathered and
representatives of he Great North
ern will be asked to look over the
situation, and plans will be formu-
lated as quickly as possible for the
establishment of the road, and the
cooperation of all is necessary to
complete he plans.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WILL HOLD PICNIC

Plans are being formulated by
the chamber of commerce for com
munity picnic to be held on Sunday,
Aug. IA, at Deep lake.
The chamber of commerce will
ask the aid of all car owners to as
sist in the conveying Of all who wish
to go to the lake, and accommoda-
tions for boating, bathing, fishing
will be ample for all.
The trip will be more of sight
seeing one and also will give all in
terested a chance to see the prop
erty of the Northwestern Iron and
Steel company, and the vast amount
of available iron deposits in the
county, as well as establishing a
feasible route for the proposed rail
road that will run from Colville to
Deep lake.

COLv|LLE A STEEL CENTER

With all the necessary elements
that enter into the manufacture of
high grade iron and steel, situated
within the radius of a few miles of
Colyille and only a few miles dis
tance from the immense iron de-
poSits of Deep lake, Colville stands
an excellent chance to become a
steel manufacturing center of no
small proportions. Within few
miles of Colville can be found every
known ingredient that enters into
the manufacture of iron and steel,
which eastern smelters find it nee
essary to ship, at great cost.
Magnesite--Obtained from Austria
or Stevens county. Magnesite is
used by all iron manufacturers for
lining furnaces owing to its great
heat resistances. There is lime
enough in Stevens county to fluX all
ore in the United States. Very nee
essary in the iron smelling in
dustry. Eastern smelters find it
necessary to ship their lime many
hundreds of miles.
Silica-Used in connection with
mon smelling, also as a ferro-Gron)
alloy commanding a very high price
on the eastern market and shipped
a great distance. Stevens county
has many large deposits of nearly
pure silica.
Fluor Gpar-Used to assist in the
reduction of iron ore. Very valu-
able, very rare. The United States
steel corporation find fuor spar OBJ
tainable only at a great expense,
owing to the demand created by
the dye industry. Stevens county
has several deposits, enough in fact
to last an iron industry many years.
1 Fire brick-Another item of great
Importance and obtainable from vari-
Gus manufacturers of Stevens county.
Manganese-All steel safes, rails,
fancy ranges and hundreds OF other
articles where a high grade steel
manganese is needed can be found
in the southern end Of Stevens
county in the form of a ledge that
can be traced many miles. The
eastern manufacturers are shipping
manganese ore from South America
at a great expense. Not so great,

STEVENS COUNTY SPUD SEED
PROVES WORTH SAYS EXPERT

Potato seed raised by growers in
Montana and Stevens county are
gaining recognition as being seeds
of a high quality, according to
George l.. Zundel extension plant
pathologist of Washington state col
lege. Mr. Zundel, who has visited
CoIville and the surrounding district
is enthusiastic over the kind of seed
that can he grown in this part of
the state.
High altitude and shady places,
such as we have here" said Mr..
Zundel ais the natural habitat Of
the potato. If the farmers of Colvillc
started to raise seed potatoes
they would find ready market for
them throughout the northwest"
The raising of seed potatoes is
one Of the big extension projects Of
the state college according to Mr..
Zundcl Due to the great demand
for good seed potatoes, state college
extension officials have started
campaign to have certain districts,
particularly the Spokane, Stevens,
Pend Orcille counties and northern
Idaho turned to the raising of seed
potatoes.
"Potato growers in the Yakima
and Sunnyside districts, who cater to
the potato market on the Pacific
coast are in the market for clean
seed ever time" continued Mr.. Iun-
del. "Hot weather, such as one finds
in the district lowers the vitality OF
the seed and prevents high grade
potatoes from being produced. On
this account, the big potato growers
of the Yakima and Sunnyside dis
tricts are looking for good clean
seed. Prices as high as seventy dol
lars a ton is paid. With the terri
tory here, there is no reason why
the farmers in and around Colville
should not be able to raise seed po-
tatoes which should in few years
become as famous as the Puyallup
valley berries.
Careful cultivation is necessary
for raising of seed potatoes. Far
mers who intend to raise seed po-
tatoes should remember that it is
best to raise just a few potatoes
that are easily sold than to raise
great number that cannot be sold"
In addition to giving different
demonstrations Mr.. Zundel gave
individual instruction prepara-
tory TO having the fields certi-
fed. The certification is done by
members of the state department Of
agriculture. The first inspection will
be made in the near future when the
potatoes are in bloom.

however, as would be the cost from
the west; Great Falls, Montana, be-
ing the nearest point to the eastern
manufacturer where manganese is
obtainable in quantities.
Tungsten-Used as a ferro alloy,
Shipped from Colorado to the east
ern manufacturers. Again Stevens
county comes to the front with one
of the largest deposits ever located.
This ore is found in the south end
of the county. Very valuable.
Crome--Crome is used as a ferro
alloy and has been discovered in
both Stevens and Pend Oreille
counties. This ore is shipped to
the east from California and other
western points.
Titanunn, Vanadium 10, Uranium
1l-All used to make the different
grades of iron and steel and are all
found in more or less quantities in
Stevens county
The eastern states have scarcity
of timber suitable for the manufac-
ture of charcoal. Stevens county
has millions of feet of northwestern
larch (tamarack) which equals both
in textile strength and heat units
the hard woods of the east. Char
coal makes the best iron.
Electrical energy-Stevens county
and near by territory has hundreds
of thousands of horse power going
to waste. Some of this potential
water power is now under develop
ment and means the coming of in
dustries and a new era of prosper
ity, in fact electrical energy can
now be obtained in Stevens county
as cheap as any place in the United
States.
The last, but not the least, is
the freight from eastern points to
the Inland Empire. Acting as they
do as a protective tariff With the
development of immense deposits Of
hematite iron ore now being un-
molestcd in Stevens county means
the opening of all the other mines
also lying dorment and the develop
ment of industries never dreamed
of, for this, the most favored county
on earth,

Hydorn came through with another
good game getting seven strlkeouts
and walking none. He also slammed
out three hits out of five times at
bat.
Raftis showed that he could get
on the bases. A walk, an error and
hit by a pitched ball gave Johnny
free transportation three times.
Wernli on first played one of the
best fielding games this season.
Llewellyn was the hitting star OF
the game, his two doubles to left
being real hits.

two times out His hit was OF the

MARCUS WINS
SUNDAY CAME
LOCAL NINE MINUS REGULARS
PUTS UP A GREAT BRAND
OF BASEBALL
Doubtful Decisions Prove Costly to
Home Team-Manager Raftis
UncOvers Stars

Johnny Raftis' reorganized Colville
nine, minus six of its regular play
erS, took an eight to five defeat at
the hands of Bill Laird of Marcus,
Sunday, at Marcus. While the home
nine went down to defeat, the game
showed that there are plenty OF
hustling ball players around this
vicinity who can make the regulars
hustle to keep their places.
To Bill Laird, and his battery mate
Llewllyn goes the credit for Marcus
win. All Bill did was to strike out
twelve, allow ten widely scattered
hits and get a double with a man
on second in the eighth. Llewellyn
helped out considerably with his
hitting, getting two doubles at op-
perfume moments.
Inability to hit when the hits were
needed was the main reason for the
local boys coming home on the short
end of the score. Thirteen men left
on bases coupled with twelve strike
outs helps to give some idea of why
Raftis and company went down to
defeat.
Colville started off with rush in
the first inning, Underwood reach
ing first on an error Oakes fol-
lowed with a single that went past
third like bullet. Smith was safe
on a felder's choice when Under
wood was thrown out at third.
Hydorn came through with a single
past second and Oakes was out
when he attempted to score from
second.
Three singles in the second after
one was down gave Marcus its first
run while a double, a single and
Zappel being hit by pitched ball
gave the opposition two in the
third.
Hydo1n's double to right in the
fifth scoring Raftis and Oal1es evened
the score. The glory was short lived
however, three errors in the sixth
combined with hit giving Marcus
two runs. Three hits in the seventh
was good for two runs, while two
in the eighth, both doubles added one
more to the Marcus tally.
The Colville boosters saw visions
of rally in the ninth when two
errors permitted Smith and Hydoln
to get on, Wernli followed with
single to right, scoring both runners
and went to third on the throw in.
When Laird started to wind up on
the next ball Lew stole home with
ease only to be called out.
Two close decisions at the home
plate cost Colville two runs, Oakes
being called out after he slid under
Llewellyn in the first. Wernli was
called ou1 in the ninth when he tried
to steal home.
Given more practice and with
some of the regulars back in the
lineup, Colville will have one of the
fastest amateur teams in the coun-
try.

BERKSHIRE HOG BREEDERS
OF COUNTY TO ORGANIZE

Plans are under way for organlz-

shire hog breeders in Stevens coun-
ty. According to those in charge
the purpose of the association Will
be to further the breeding of Berk-
shire hogs in the county.
Due to the fact that Stevens coun-
ty is the home of Lord Bacon, the
ninth, grand champion Berkshire hog
at the International livestock show
at Chicago, local breeders OF this
breed of hogs feel that an organi-
zation to further breeding of Berk-
shire hogs is strongly needed Some
of the representative Berkshire
breeders of the county are y. II.

Is Per Cent Wage
Cut Will Be Made
For Ship Painters
Employers Association Says
Reductions Are Necessary
in Order to Prevent Work
Going to Other Ports

A reduction of about 10 per cent
in the wages of ship painters en-
ployed by New York contractors will
become effective at this port Septem-
Der /, according to a statement issued
yesterday by the Marine Painters As
ISOLATION. The existing wages of ship
painters here are 70 cents an hour
for ship bottom painting and 80 cents
an hour for interior painting and yacht
work. The contractors propose to cut
these rates to so cents and TO cents an
hour, respectively, which, it is pointed
out, are higher than those of other
ports.
The present rates cannot be main
tained," the statement of the en-
ployers says, "because Of the high cost
of applying paint to vessels at this
port and the slackness of work due to
the general depression of shipping. In
many instances ship owners have had
vessels painted at other ports rather
than pay the high cost here, which has
been reflected in the unemployment Of
painters.
1.-THE contractors do not anticipate
any trouble in putting the cut into eff
feet, because they feel that the work
men realize 1t is necessary to reduce
the cost of painting in order to get
work and give them more steady en-
ployment."
