COLvILLE WINS
SECOND GAME
DEFEATS SPRINGDALE TEAM
BY SCORE OF TO 3
LAST SUNDAY
SnOddy Pitches for COlville and Has
Excellent SuppOrt-Play
Chewelah Tomorrow

The redoutable Springdale Reds
invaded Colville Sunday confident of
their ability to repeat their perfor-
nance at Springdale earlier in the
month but unlike the Valley gang
last week they found it a case of
"too much Snoddy" and the Bull
dogs made their winning streak last
at least two games. In one of the
best fielding contests shown in the
league this year the local regulars
mauled the horsehide often and far
while Snoddy had the visitors at his
mercy all the way. Colville scored
once in the third on Wernli's smack
for three sacks and Snoddy's single.
Hard hitting brought over two more
in the fifth and two more crossed the
pan in the seventh when Whitney
chased F. Rogers off third and in
attempting to catch him at the plate
bounced the ball off his head per-
mitting both Rogers and -Wernli to
score. With five runs to go on in
the eighth, Snoddy eased up and
permitted one run and two more
came over in the ninth but the re-
suit was never in doubt. In justice
to the visitors it must be said that
they played good ball but all of the
breaks of the game were against
them The Redlegs are great favor
ties in Colville and are hard
working gentlemenly bunch of ball
players. They are good drawing
card and will always be welcome.

SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSN.
MAKES GOOD HEADWAY

The Colvlle Valley Savings and
Loan Association, whose officers are
DR.. o. F. Vinson, president; L. M.
Mcfarland, wise president; H. r.
Williams, secretary and manager;
executive committee, o. F. Vinson,
II. r. Williams, L. G. Keller, L. M.
Mcfarland and Quinn W. McCord
are increasing their sales of stock in
anticipation of the increased volume
of loans occasioned by the resuming
Of home building which will accom-
pany the adjustment Of prices OF
hardware to the pre-war basis and
the reduced cost of lumber and Ia
Dor.
Organizations of this character
have been tried and proved to be a
strong force and economic factor in
civic welfare in eastern communi-
ties. They are organized under
state laws applicable to loans, just
as are financial systems. These
loans are acceptable to the state and
are under the same supervision just
as though they were made through the
bank
The Colville Valley Savings and
Loan Association differs somewhat
from other loaning systems in that
with each monthly payment the prin-
ciple is reduced and the interest
grows less with each payment, and
at the end of the contract the prin-
ciple is paid in its entirety.
While the original purpose of the
association is to loan money on new
homes they have lately made loans
on completed buildings, some of
them of few years standing. The
association is growing and getting
new subscribers. Chances are still
open to enter new subscriptions for
stock in the company.

NIGHT LIFE IN COLVlLLE
is NOT ON THE WANE

There are those that hit the
downy at eleven and these are they
that don't know the COINS on in
these parts until after old ruddy-
comb sounds his first call for rising
on the chicken yard fence.
According to Willett Bros, who
neither slumber nor sleep, or more
specifically, William McKern, the
garage night watchman; Colville,
since the first of February has been
the "half way place" between Spo-
kane and British Columbia for tour
ing parties, business trips, etc, to
get their gasoline.
"At first, said McKern, the night
alarm sounded less frequent, but
now our being open all night is be-
coming know from boundary to
boundary, and they like 1t and are
beginning to depend upon US for
that accommodation.
"Then too the local trade makes
up a large part Of our night work
The lumber camps have night shifts
of trucks delivering poles ond they
depend upon US for gasoline. Then
there are the unexpected trips, like
the physicians, and altogether no
one realizes what is going on here
in the auto business after eleven
O'Clock at night unless they stay
awake to see"

BUBONIC PLAGUE IS
 SWEEPING ONWARD
Now Threatens Main Grain
 Supply of China

New York April 15.-Bubonic plague. which some months ago ap- peared in Northern Manchuria. has crept southward until it now threatens the main grain supply of China, ac- cording to q letter received by G. ID. Gold. of the Young Mems Christian Association, from Harbin. Manchuria, where MT. Gold was stationed during the latter part of the war. Unless the plague can be checked. MT. Gold as- serts, the granary relied upon for re- lief of millions of famine victims in North China will be cut off.
 'sThe situation Is rendered more serious" said MT. Gold today, "by the act that Manchuria is literally crowd ed with foreign exiles. There are not fewer than 500, ,0O0 Russians, who fled before the Bolshevik executioners 250,000 Koreans, and thousands of Chinese who formerly lived in Siberia. but who have been driven into Man. churia by the Red armies.
 Concerted efforts are being made in cities and towns along the Chinese Eastern railway to combat the plague. hospitals being established. and the victims isolated. Efforts also arc under way to fight the source of the disease-the rats that carry the germ. Thousands of per- sons already have died and been given nasty burial. Strict regulations have been put in effect to prevent affected persons getting beyond liar bin. and officials at Mukden, the next big center to the south. are on the watch for the first appearance of the plague.
 "If the grain suppy of Manchuria is cut off, the famine victims in Shnngtung. ChihIL Honan, Shensi and Shansi will be doomed. Man churia representstives of the Am erican Red Cross the Chinese Red Cross and the Y. Nj. C. A have in- formed the Picking authorities of the danger and urged that grain buying and shipments be hastened.

 GARRY OILSEEkERS
New Fields in Canada Reached
 After i,SOO Mile Trip
By Newspaper Enterprise

Edmonton. Alberta, April i5.-Some of the folks who are planning to join the stampede into the newly discover ed oil country that lies on the Arctic Circle in northern Canada have a hazy idea of the hardships such a journey entails.
 The man from New York state. for example. who wired railroad officials here 10 reserve sleeping car accommo- dations for him to Fort Norman will bo disappointed.
 For the only method by which he can cover the iSo0-miie stretch to the oil district centering about Norman will be an arduous journey of weeks by river boat. a longer and more dan gerous trek of wagon, or by airplane.
 Airplancs, for the first time in his tory. will be used in the rush for claims The Imperial oil Company has two planes already on the job. and in May will begin the job of conveying men and surveying instruments across the hundreds of miles of wilderness. These will be for company employees only, but several other companies are being formed for carrying passengers. The fare will be 5000 for the round trip. Steamer fare is $500.
 Although navigation on ice-iockcd rivers and lakes will not open until late in May. the first steamer loads of passengers and freight are now be- Ing signed up. Transportation com panies say they can move 5000 men this season.

DOG BEGS FOOD TO
 FEED HER PUPPIES
Minnesota Man Turns Out Mother Dog and Nine Little Ones
 She Cares for Them,

Clear Lake, Minn., April 15.-When the owner of a dog and nine puppies turned them out without food and res fused to feed them any longer. the mother dog did just what 8 human mother would have done in similar circumstances. She went from door to door begging food for her little ones.
 The dog would scratch at the back doors of Clear Lake houses and when opened she would look into the face of tte person who came and then at her half-starved. puppies, telling as eloquently as she knew how that they were in need.
 Her appeal was always needed and food was provided for the wanderers. But in every instance the mother dog, hungry as she must have been, re- fused to touch any of the food until her little ohes had had all they want ed
 The case was reported at length to Sam F. Fullerton, executive agent of the Minnesota Society for the Pre- .vention of Cruelty, who investigated the story and found it true in every particular. MT. Fullerton compelled the dogs owner to take her and her puppies back to provide enough food for them.

HOLCOMB PERMITTED
 TO SELL SOME NOTES
Receiver, Of Shelton Bank and Trust Company is Given Authority
 By Ruling of Judge.

Bridgeport, April 15.-An order was issued by Judge John P. Kellogg in the superior court today under which Marcus H. Holcomb, receiver for the Shelton Bank and Trust Go. may dispose of the notes of the Armstrong Realty Go. among the as- sets to the Naugatuck Valley Cruci- ble Co. The liquidation of these notes is expected to mean that the conn pany will be in much better shape to meet the demands of creditors and depositors.
 MT. Holcomb appeared in court to explain his application for the order. The Armstrong Realty Go. had notes of ss2,O00 in the Shelton Bank and Trust Co. secured only by 1,500 shares of the Ultra Realty Go. which is non existent. It had been stated that if the Armstrong company could Hquidate the notes the trust company would be in fairly good shape. E. w. Kneen, the former treasurer, had de- pended upon payment of the notes to get the institution out of trouble but Receiver Holcomb has not been able to realize anything. The Cruci- ble company, of which Kneen was treasurer, had $5o,oo0 on deposit. It offers to take the Armstrong notes for the deposit and agrees to pay to the bank anything additional real ized on the notes.
 The received thought that the of fer would greatly assist him, and the proposition was approved by counsel for several large creditors, inc1ud- ing counsel for the city of Shelton which was a depositor.
 The court by issuing the order ap- proves of the recommendation of the receiver.

CANAL ZONE PEOPLE
 WANT CIVIL GOVT.
Also Anxious to Have Effective
 Suffrage for Citizens

Panama, April 15.-Civilian govern ment of the Panama Canal Zone under the department of commerce or the department of the interior and effective suffrage for civilian Ameri- can citizens residing in the Canal Zone are two of the objects sought by the newly formed Civilian League of the Canal Zone" The zone is now a military reservation.
 The league has been keeping in touch with proposed legislation by congress affecting the Canal Zone" said H. J. White, president, and it has discovered that parties not con- nected with the zone have attempted to secure the enactment of bills sdb- mitted which would not prove ap- plicable or beneficial to the zone.H
 A statement issued by the league de- clares that the military branch of our government is using its influence to have the canal considered primar- fly as a military project" and adds:
 "The league takes the position that the business interests of the United States demand the fullest commercial development of the canal; that, as far as possible, the same form of government that exists in the United States should apply in the Canal Zone; that the civilian citizens of the Unit ed States residing in the zone should have a voice in the affairs of the zone; that the zone should be thrown open to Americans who want to own property and settle in it, the same as in the District of Columbia: that the army and navy, while permitted to do any and all necessary defensive work for the protection of the canal, should be entirely separate and dis tinct from the government of the Canal Zone"
 Specific demand is made that "con- gress grant the right of suffrage to civilian Americans residing in the zone, authorizing them to elect a resident commissioner to represent them at Washington, in the same manner as the present resident conn ,v,fcSianers of the Philippine Island
