Potatoes May Be
Higher in Price
Most of the Years Yield
Believed to Be in the
Hands of Dealers

That 751o of the potatoes of the
northwest are now in the hands Of
dealers is the opinion of Frank W.
Wines, Colville's potato expert. The
potatoes were largely bought early
in the fall, giving a reasonable re-
turn to growers. 1t is estimated
that the average growing cost was
$25 ton, and the average price re-
ceived was $50. One reason for the
grower selling early was that he got
caught long on potatoes year ago
and did not care to repeat the ex-
perience. Another reason was that
the grower this year needed and
wanted the money.
Because the potatoes are now
largely in the hands of dealers, it is
reasonable to believe that the retail
price of potatoes will increase 500
before next June, in order for the
dealers to get their money back after
allowing for shrinkage, labor and in
forest 1t is not probable that the
price to the grower will increase, for
dealers are already stocked and will
not care to take on any more.
Early government reports last
summer were to the effect that there
was a shortage in the potato crop.
November reports showed an over
supply. Potatoes can not be shipped
east, due to the declining market and
the high freight rates.
Stevens county is believed to have
raised 100 to ITO cars of potatoes
this year, which is more than last
year Shipments from Colville may
total 8 to 10 cars, and from the
county perhaps 20 cars. Last year
Colville shipped 2 cars. A minimum
carload is now $4,000 pounds in
Washington. Seed potatoes form the
most profitable part of potato grow
ing, the demand for Melted Gem
seed being steady and strong, with
some demand for Earliest of All.
Growers expect to get about $40
ton for seed, although they could
just as well get $50 if they would
furnish certified seed and produce
enough to sell to the big users. A
large demand comes from the Yaki-
ma country, and growers there have
written that the Stevens county seed
is satisfactory.
Efforts have been made this year
by the Farm Bureau to interest Ste
vens county farmers in raising GER
titled Melted Gem seed, so that they
can take advantage Of the steady,
certain market and remunerative
prices offered For some reason
only a few farmers have become in
terested, preferring to continue the
gamble on products which have their
prices fixed by wholesale houses and
stock markets.

the head tax on both men and wo-
men added on top of it all. By the
time the sheriff's office gets around
TO the collection of taxes next year
it is to be hoped that the people of
the county will be sufficiently docile
to pay their head tax without COM
plant, for nearly every county Off
cial is obliged to listen to the tales
of woe of the taxpayers, when the
county officials are not at all to
blame in the matter.

Addy State Bank Is
Occupying New Building

The new building of the Addy
State Bank was occupied Monday.
The structure is a one-story fireproof
brick 2lx40, on the west side of
Main street. The vault is of double
reinforced concrete, and contains the
manganese safe. The safety deposit
boxes are of steel. A time lock is
part of the new equipment. Furni-
ture is in mahogany finish, and fitted
with plate glass.
The Addy State Bank is two years
old, and the officers state that the
business justifies the new building
and equipment. This bank suffered
a burglary loss last June, but was
fully protected by burglary insur-
ance.

COIViIIe Citizen
in South America
Goes from Porto Rico to
Venezuela and Describes
His Impressions

W. f. Montanye, who left Colville
three years ago, after many years
residence, is now business manager
of the Seventh Day Adventist church
at the Porto Rican Mission, Santurce,
Porto Rico. On a trip to Venezuela
he wrote as follows to his mother
Mrs. j. X. Montanye, Route 8, Col
vile:
Caracus. Venezuela, Nov. l, Dear
Folks at home: Here we are. Do
you know where that is? Well, it
is in the land of wild monkeys and
cactus and cattle ranges, Venezuela.
We arrived in the harbor of La
Guira yesterday morning before day
light, and after the usual delay incl
dent to all Latin American countries,
We got through the customs house
and started for Caracas. We hired
a Buick six, and such road, some
of the most terrible curves just
winding around and around, back and
forth through cactus groves and
barren hill sides up, up, and still up,
5000 feet above sea level, then down
1000 feet to Caracas, the capital.
When we left La Guira we had to
sign our names and show our vac
cination certificates, and the same
when we entered Caracas; just like
a military government. A police
man stands at the edge of every
town. on every road leading into or
out of the city, and takes the names
Of everyone leaving or entering the
city, and the same in the railway
stations How would it seem if all
n Colvillc had to sign their names
and show their vaccination certif-
Gates whenever they wish to go to
Spokane or any other town? Just
ike a military camp. But it is
necessary here for there are so many
revolutions springing up all the time
they have to keep tab on everyone's
movements. | never saw country
so we'll polced as this one. There
is no crime wave here; lives and
property are safer in Caracas than
in any city of its size in the L. S.
If anyone steals anything he is
sentenced to at least five years at
hard labor; no 30 day sentences here.
People know that misdemeanors and
crimes will be punished severely, and
they have a dread of the law, con-
3equently they are careful not to
commit crimes.
We are being pleasantly entertain
ed in the homes of Mr. and Mrs.
Bulard and Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner in
Caracas. We will be here week
when | will leave for Panama.
My, it was cold last night; COM
pared to what we are used to. 1t is
the funniest sensation to be cold
when you haven't felt that way for
two years. We slept out on porch
last night and as soon as it gets
dark the cold air comes down from
the mountains and cools things off.
The air up here is fine, just feels
like a tonic. Really | don't mind
the heat so much, but Lauretta gets
tired of it. This morning we went
to market and found Washington
apples selling for 20cts each. Re-
CARDS to our friends in Colville.-W.

British Policy
Now Is FIRMLY
Against Turks
Naval and Financial Help
To Be Given TO Greeks
as Result of Cruelty
10 English Prisoners
From The T,1bune's Europeen gurea,

Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc,
LONDON, May 30.-Predictions made
II Constantinople yesterday Of a far
reaching change in the British policy
IN the Near East moved toward full
illlment to-day when it was learned
here that the Lloyd George govern
ment has decided on course which
amounts practically to support of the
Greeks in their conflict with the
turks. England has been goaded to
this change of front largely bv the
treatment of British prisoners bv the
turk Nationalists and the hostility of
the Angora government in general to-
ward the British.
Announcement of this new policy
probably will be made in Parliament
soon by Winston Churchill, Secretary
OF state for Colonies. The British in
tend to give the Greeks not only moral
put hnanclal and naval assistance in
their war against the Kemalists.
French Also Disguised
France in all likelihood will follow
inc lead OF the British. The French
are utterly disgusted with the repudia-
tlon OF the agreement Premier BRAND
made with Bekir Sami Bey few
months ago and, after having been
soahoed, nave expressed sympathy with
the British point of view. The onlv
opposition among the Allies is likely
20 come from the Italians, who now
hold strong position in Turkey.
- LONDON, May 30 (By The Associated
Press) s),-Great Britain takes grave
view of the attitude said to have been
ADOPTED by the followers of Mustapha
Renal Pasha, the Turkish Nationalist
leader IN Angora. with respect to the
treatment OF British subjects and of
otner violations Of the agreement
signed by the London conference on
Near Eastern question.
The execution OF Mustapha Sachir
the British Indian subject who recently
was hanged III Angora as a spy, will
oe made the subject of representations
70 the Angora government, as will also
the detention of British prisoners and
the refusal of the Turkish Nationalists
TO permit British vessels to use Ana
tolian ports.
Stern Measures Probable
While official circles declined to-
day to discuss the possibility Of
Franco British support for the Grceks
IN N their military campaign against The
turks, it was admitted stern measures
likely would be taken by Great Britain
to compel satisfaction of her demands
CoNsTANTINoPLE, May 3o.-Tbe
Angora government has announced a
campaign OF reprisals against the
Greeks in Anarolia, especially in the
Pontus region. The government as
serts that Greek irregular troops have
killed 10000 Turkish civilians in tho
Brusa area, although the British fig
ures give the casualties as 5000.
The Governor of the region is carry
ing out reprisals in arresting Greek
priests and teachers.

BRAND Explains
why He Z allied
TO Invade Rul1r
Continued from page ono)

CONTINUED from page ohe)
The French attribute the attacks to
the increasing gravity OF the economic
situation caused by the shutdown of
the railways, factories and mines,
which deprived Polish industry of raw
materials and caused a coal shortage
in the German districts 1t is believed
here that it is most urgent that solu-
tion be reached before the population
becomes exasperated to further vio-
lence.
The conference of the Supreme Coun-
Gil in Boulogne may not be held at all.
In any event, it probably will not take
place before next week, according to
information in French official circles to-
day. 1t was pointed out that the French
Foreign Office was more and more in
clined to discourage the conference,
hastily convoked without thorough and
meth odical preparation,
1t is contended by officials that it
would have been most unwise for
BRAND to have met Lloyd George di-
rectly after the speech of the British
Premier, when opinion was stirred up
on both sides of the channel, forcing
the hand Of the government chiefs.
The same Danger is likely to arise
over the questions if they are dis
cussed while the air is charged with
Misunderstanding and mistrust.
The French now are hopeful that the
problem of Upper Silesia will be dis
cussed in a calm 'pirit, with Italy,
Belgium or possibly America in the
role of mediators, and that a solution
will be reached which will make it i'm
possible for Upper Silesia again to en-
danger European peace.

Premier Tells Commons
World Not Disarming Yet, and

Offer to Irish

Rejection Is Predicted
Believed That Prime Min.
lister and DE Valera Have
Held Secret Conference

LONDON, May 30 (By The Assooi-
ated Press) Premier Lloyd George,
reaffrming in the House Of Commons
to-day that the crown forces in Ireland
were being strengthened, said that even
il Parliament approved the suggestion
Of colonial autonomy for North and
South Ireland, no has "reason to be-
lieve it would not be accepted by the
men responsible for the violence in
Ireland, but, on the contrary, would be
regarded by them as weakness on the
part of the British government and
an encouragement to further violence-"
The Prime Minister announced that
a statement on the governments plans
in Ireland would be made to Parlia-
metn when arrangements were COM
pleted. He said it was not intended TO
send the reservists there.
The Prime Minister said there could
be no question of making good out OF
the British exchequer the damage to
the Dublin Custom House caused by
the recent incendiary descent upon that
building.
Zone of the most precious posses
sions Of the Irish people was wantonly
and deliberately destroyed by the Sinn
Feiners," he added.
Met De Valera, Report
The Prime Minister said the loss was
estimated ct 100000 and that the
claim would be presented in due course.
Under the law the loss would fall upon
the local authorities, but it would be
within the powers of the Southern
Parliament to make provision for meet
ing the loss, wholly or in part.
No. 10 Downing Street. the official resi-
dence of the Prime Minister, has been
inundated with requests for conhrma-
tion or denial Of reports from Belfast
that Eamon de Valera and Mr.. Lloyd
George had held conference, but a
definite yes or no to this query is
being withheld.
Those usually informed of the Prime
Minister'S movements, however, have
been unable to verify his whereabouts
during the weekend of May 21, which
fact is leading some to believe that
secret peace conference between the
Irish republican leader and the British
Prime Minister may have occurred
then.
Another meeting soon between Sir
James Craig, the Ulster Premier desig-
nate, And De Valera is expected in
government quarters, according to The
Times, which asserts that the moderate
section of Sim Fein is again try
ing to influence the party councils in
the direction of settlement.
