becomes known that he has lived in
this vicinity for the past 80 years.
Led by the Colville band and aug
mented by fourteen members of the
Frank Starr Post MOI. AZ of the
American Legion, the celebration at
Chewelah easily attracted more peo-
pie from Colville than any other
single celebration. The Colville band
was the only band of three adver-
tised to appear that actually put in
an appearance.
Much favorable comment was
heard on all sides on the new cap
adopted by the Frank Starr Post.
The cap is modelled on the same pat
tern as the cap worn overseas by
the doughboys in the late war, and
is blue with gold trimmings.
The individual features of the pa
rade was the beautifully decorated
automobile floats, with the comedy
being furnished by the clowns.
Eight former ex-sailors from Che
welah in their white uniforms also
came in for their share of the at
tention In the parade, the post flag
of the Frank Starr Post was car
ried by Color Bearers Bob Lee and
Abe benson. Jack St Clair and
Warwick Stewart acted as color
guards. .Iohn " Folsom post of
Chewelah also took part in the pa
rado Ind later acted as host to the
Colville post at dinner.
The ball game in the afternoon
between Chewelah and Colville at
tracted its share of the crowd at
tending the celebration. In the
evening dancing was the chief form
or amusement offered Numerous
automobile parties made little side
trips into the country.

FEATHERKILE is HELD
IN NORTHPORT ROBBERY

In Howard Featherkile, age 40, a
farmer living across the river from
Northport, Sheriff W. H. Graham
believes that he has the man want
ed for robbing and shooting W.
Stewart, a logging contractor at
Northpor. Monday evening. Feather
kile, who is lodged in the Stevens
county jail without bail denies any
part in the robbery or holdup, but
admits that he was in Northport al
the time of the robbery.
According to Stewart, Featherkilc
and another man had been after him
twice on the previous evening to get
a drink of liquor which Featherkilc
is alleged to have cached across the
river. On both occasions Stewart
refused to accompany the two across.
Towards morning between 3 and a
o'clock Stewart according to the story
told Sheriff Graham, went across the
river to get his horse. Seeing him
do this, Featherkile is said to have
called out to him to stop and wait
for himself and his friend. Stewart
did this and the other two men
quickly catching up started to walk
along the railroad track. Where the
track rounds short curve, the three
stopped fnd according to Stewart,
Featherkilc hit him with the butt Of
his revolver knocking him down. As
he was attempting to get up he al
leges that Featherkile shot him
twice, once through the right arm
and the other time through the lung.
The amount of money taken from
Stewart according to Sheriff Ora
ham was eight dollars. Seventy
three cents, in pocket book in one
of Stewards packets was left un-
touched.
At the hospital in Northport where
Stewart was taken by passing
motorist, it is said that the chances
for his recovery are good unless
pneumonia sets in. Doctor Robinson
removed the bullets from Stewart.

Power House at Kettle Falls

Application has been made by the
Washington Water Power company
to construct a dam and power house
at Kettle Falls, according to dis
patches from the national capitol at
Washington, D. c. The proposed
dam and power house is one of the
biggest power projects that has yet
come before the federal water pow
er commission under the new water
power law.
Officials of the Washington Water
Power Company are busy closing the
details of buying the property which
will give them complete possession
of the territory where their pro
iect will be launched. According to
officials of the company, this will be
completed in a short time. Only
meager details of the plan are
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1921-07-09

known.
1t is the intention of men in
charge of the work to build the dam
in three stages. The first step will
sbe the building of a dam thirty9iee
feet high across the minor channel.
A dam sixty feet in height across
the main channel is the proposed
second step while the building of the
gates at the crest of the concrete
dam raising both dams to height
of seventy-fve feet will complete
the work.
A total of $4,000 horsepower will
be the installed primary power at
the end of the third step. Should a
market for secondary power develop.
it can easily be generated in the
opinion of officials of the company.

CHEWELAH WINS
FROM COLv|LLE
LOCAL TEAM LOSES EXHIBITION
GAME SUNDAY BY ONE
SIDED SCORE
Grover Graham Calls Home Nine OF
Field in Second Contest With
Opposing Side in Lead

Featured by the clever pitching of
Snoddy and Spurgeon, Colville went
down to defeat at Chewelah 5 to l
July 4. Both teams played great
ball up to the eighth ining, when
Colville left the field after being
given the worst of a poor decision.
The trouble arose when Snoddy
was refused his base after being hit
on the wrist by a pitched ball, the
umpire claiming the ball was dead.
In the eighth, the same situation
arose when Barton for Chewelah
was hit. Instead of ordering him
back to the plate the umpire i'm
mediately gave him his base on
balls. Grover Graham Immediately
called the Colville players Off the
field.
Chewelah opened the scoring in
the first inning getting two runs after
two were down. Smith knocked
down hard hit ball to short, the
batter being given credit for hit.
Leeper tripled and scored minute
later on a single.
Colville started a rally in the
third which looked bad for Che
welah Joe Rogers was safe on first.
Smith, next up singled, Rogers
going to second and Hydon, show
ing some of his Babe Ruth ability
hit to centerfield for double.
Sweeney felded the ball cleanly and
threw Rogers out at the plate,
Smith going to third. Smith scor-
ed a minute later when Altman threw
wild to third in an attempt to catch
him off the base.
From, the third to the sixth, both
mines put up high class brand OF
ball, fast fielding and clever work
by the pitchers being the outstand-
ing features.
Chewelah broke into the scoring
column again on the sixth when it
scored three runs on combination
of hits and errors. Then the eighth
inning came when the local team
walked off the field after having
been handed the poor end of the de-
cisions throughout the entire game.
Score by innings:
Chewelah 3 0 0 0 0 O-5
Colville I'D o | 0 0 o o.
Batteries Chewelah, Spurgeon and
Altman; Colville, Snoddy and Gra-
ham.
Notes on the Game.
Smith on short for the home
team celebrated his return by play
ing a fast game.
Joe Rogers again starred around
the keystone sack. With Wernli he
pulled off a clever double play.
Both Snoddy and Spurgeon pitch
ed alright ball.
Chewelah and Colville played an
exhibition game in Colville Sunday,
losing Is TO 2, before a small crowd.
Colville tried out Murphy, a recruit
pitcher Murphy went well for the
first four innings but the visitors
fell on him the fifth for five runs
and the game from then on was a
farce, Colville shifting it's lineup re-
peatedly and trying out different
pitchers.

TALBOT COMMENTS
ON MARY AT HOME

As illustrating Miss Pickford's
love of all her people. one of those
queer twists of fate, or whatever IT
may be. brought to the surface with
dramatic force the bigness of this
little natural mothers love for her
family, says Hayden Talbot, to
whom Mary told her life story.
For before she finished debating
the last sentence we both heard the
sharp rst-a-tat-tat Of an aero
planes engine. 1t was not the low
droning that comes down out of the
air when a plane is at any great
altitude. 1t was rather like the
sudden ,ear-splitting assault OF a
racing motor car dashing by within
"a few feet. - p.
Miss Pickford's face went sudden
ly white. She: sprang to her feet
and dashed out of the room with
out word ,InvoluntariIy 1 fol-
lowed-although aeroplanes in
Southern California are as common
these days as, automobiles.
On the lawn OF her bungalow Miss
Pickfo1d' stood gazing up at The
