GOSSIP ABOUT
AUTOS AND AUTO DRIVERS

A Stanley Steamer will be used
on a new stage line between Hunters
and Spokane and it is expected that
the trip will be made in four hours.
b. A. Campbell, formerly connected
with the Pacific garage, is now en-
ployed in the sales department of
Culver G. Richardson's garage.
One of the new Buick service
signs now hangs in front of Culver
& Richardson's. 1t is illuminated for
the purpose of guiding gasless, tire
less, airless, pepless, or houseless
Bucks to hospital or boarding house
services, whichever they desire. Mr..
Culver, who recently returned from
a meeting of Buick service men in
Seattle, reports that there is to be
one of these service signs every fifty
miles in the state. There were 178
Buick representatives at the meeting
from Washington and northern Idaho.
Mr.. Culver also states that the Buick
took first place at all the national
automobile shows this year and that
the Buick is the largest producer of
six cylinder cars in the world and
has the largest single automobile
plant in the world, in addition to
being connected with the General
Motors Company which is the strong
est financially. (This line of talk is
all right, Mr.. Culver; we all know
you are selling Buicks.)

THREE FIRES IN
FOURTEEN HOURS
FIRST FIRE ALARM IN 1921
FOLLOWED BY TWO OTHERS
THE SAME DAY
Two Trucks and Garage Totally
Destroyed By Early Morning
Blaze on East Beach

Three fire alarms in one day was
the record on Wednesday for the Col
vile fire department. The first oc-
Cured at four o'clock in the morning
when the Ed. Hobbs garage on east
Beach avenue was discovered in
flames by the night police. The sec
ond came about $3.50 in the afternoon
from the Colville Laundry, the roof
of which had caught on fire from a
metal stovepipe. The third called
out the volunteers about six o'clock
in the evening to the Maggs boarding
house where there was a chimney
fire.
At the time of the early morning
alarm, the sandman had firm hold
on Colville residents and especially
on the members of the fire depart
ment who arrived at the scene Of the
fire three quarters of an hour after
the alarm. By that time the flames
had gained considerable headway and
the efforts of the department resulted
in the saving of some of the frame
work of the building but the two
trucks in the garage were totally
destroyed. The fire was hard
one to check as the building had been
built for an ice house with double
walls and sawdust filling between
the walls. The trucks were a Denby
and Republic, and Mr.. Hobbs
stated on Wednesday morning that
he had insurance on the Denby, but
that the insurance on the Republic
had expired, he thought, and he was
just trying to take out some in
surance on the building.
A COW was also housed in the
garage and an early arrival at the
scene of the fire reported that the
COW was seen running at full speed
down the street.
At the time of the fire, Mr.. Hobbs
was out in the country, about nine
miles southeast of Colville. During
the latter part of last year the Hobbs
residence caught on fire and at that
time Mr.. Hobbs was also in the
country. Mrs. Hobbs and children
were awakened Wednesday morning
by the roar of the flames. The walls
of the residence became so hot from
the garage fire that the fremen
turned water on the house.
The fire at the laundry was dis
covered before much damage was
done and was quickly extinguished
by the firemen who carried buckets
of water to the roof.
The chimney fire at the Maggs
boarding house was extinguished
with snow by boys in the neighbor-
hood before the department reached
the scene. Word was passed to the
firemen who turned the hose cart
around and returned it to the hose
house.

LEGION PRESENTS FLAGS
TO NEWLY NATURALIZED

Six residents Of Stevens county
became citizens of the United States
last Saturday morning at naturali-
zation hearing before Judge D. II.
Carey of the superior court. Just
as each man signed his name to the
oath of allegiance to the United
States, he was handed an American
flag, presented to him by the Ameri-
can Legion.
These were the first flags pre-
sented to newly naturalized citizens
in Stevens county, but it is the in
tention of the American Legion posts
throughout the country to thus recog-
nize the newly made citizens. l.. b.
Donley, speaking for the American
Legion to the petitioners at the be-
ginning of the hearing, welcomed
into United States citizenship those
who should pass the examination and
reminded them that admission as
citizen carried with it certain privi-
1eges and duties to which they had
not heretofore been accustomed. Mr..
Donley explained to the men that
the Legion was interested in the kind
of citizens admitted and told them
that the flag was not presented be-
cause it was a piece Of tri-colored
cloth, but because of the things which
have been done under and in the
name of the flag.
AS each of the six men received
his flag, Judge Carey reminded him
that it was presented by the Legion
and not by the court and that ne
should take good care of it.
