of luxuries during the war boom,
declare New York department store
executives in an optimistic summary
of current buying tendencies.
In parting with his easily earneu
wartime shekels, the spender ac-
quired some data on what to buy
and what goes to the attic on the

Good Quality Demanded.
Practical merchandise of good
quality and discreet design is now
chiefly in demand. This holds good
in apparel, in home furnishings. and
in articles DIN the borderlne between
utility and ornament.
There was a time when every
time a man felt the artistic urge he
went out and bought something

Nowadays he buys something
which is not exactly bric-abrac.
but which possesses real and last

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Furnishings

Chicago department stores said to-

Customers are buying all kinds

There was a day. earlier in the
year. when the coming Harvard
Princeton battle looked to be a
Crimson set-up. all Crimson. with
the Tiger tanned in advance. This
was the late September prospect,
with Harvard returning a veteran
machine, carried forward by owen
and Buell., and with Princeton start
ing almost fresh. But that medie-
val dope no longer stands UP. Har-
ward may now be picked to win, but
1t will be only after one OF the
hardest games a Harvard team has
ever known.
Two Tiger Hopes.
There are now two foundations
for Tiger hope. One Is the brilliant
showing Bill Roper's game young
team made against overwhelming
odds in Chicago. No team in Mas
sau history ever rose to greater
heights or came so far from the rear
where the shadows were deepest
and darkest.
1t was easily one of the notable
fcats of gridiron history. That
game alone was quite enough to
revive Nassau faith and to make
even the unbeaten Harvard ma
chine sit up and take sudden notice.
There Is still another hope foun-
dation. and this is the historical re-
count which shows that Princeton
Is nearly always at her best in a
Harvard game.
Nas.au's Harvard Status.
Princeton was well ahead of Har-
ward in the Standing of the Clubs
column when the two revived their
play In 1911.
And Princeton began that year
by beating Harvard in the first re-
newal.
After that Haughton came through
with a whirl of notaoie teams
Even then the Tiger held Mahan
and other stars to a 80 count and
was barely beaten. 10-6. in still an.
other contest.
Princeton several years ago wal
never overwhelmed by those grea'
Hardwick -Mahan- Brickley marches
as Yale was. Princeton might sag
before Yale. but against Harvard
she was at her best.
Then followed the second re-
newal after the war. Harvard
could beat Yale. but she couldn't
| beat Princeton.
They fought out two brilliant
draws in 1920 and 1921. with Gilroy
saving the Tiger day last fall.
1t might be interesting to note

Automobile Laws
Are Being Enforced

Through the campaign that state
Direetof of Efficiency l.. d. Near
die and Director of Licenses Fred j.
Dibble have been making to assist
peace officers and courts in enforc-
ing the drivers license law the oper-
ators' permits issued by the state
have come to have real value in
the eyes of motorists.
Scores of licenses have been taken
from drunken or criminally negligent
drivers and the license department
has carefully listed all such names
so they can be spotted when applica-
tions are made for renewals. 1t is
probable that when the most serious
offenders ask permission to again run
a car the state will seek the advice
of the courts that ordered them for
feited. Reports from peace officers
indicate that the drivers who have
lost their first cards are exercising
extreme caution now and are not
apt to run the risk of being taken
from the wheel of their cars.
Director McArdle says that traffic
officials are cooperating with each
other and the courts are lending them
all assistance possible. He believes
that the campaign now being carried
on will make the state highways
much safer than usual for summer
travel. The highway patrol has
been directed by Mr. McArdle to
cooperate Fundamentally with local
officers.
Activity of traffic officers is credit
ed by Director Dibble with RESPONSE
bility for Fastening applications for
new motor vehicle licenses. By May
I it is expected the number OF IL
ccnses issued will be as large as the
number on July of last year. 1t
is believed license lodging can be
made unsafe this year.

DAMAGE Suit is
Settled in Spokane
Great Northern Pays $500
for Death of Three
People in Accident

The $4,000 damage suit against
the Great Northern railroad brought
by John G.. Gensel for the death of
his wife at Palmer Siding Sep a,
1921, was heard in the federal court
in Spokane this week, but was
settled out of court for $425O when
about half the evidence Of the plain
tiff had been introduced.
A similar case brought by the adj
ministrator of the estates of Albert
C. Pittman and his wife Bertha Olive
Pittman, which asked $4,000 dam
ages, was settled at the same time
for $425O. Thus a total of $500 is
to be paid by the Great Northern
for the triple accident.
An automobile containing the three
people was being driven by Pittman
across the railroad track at Palmer
Siding on a Sunday afternoon. A
northbound train struck the auto,
hurting it into a ditch, and instantly
killing two of the occupants, and
fatally injuring the third. Testi-
mony of the prosecution was that the
engine did not sound whistle or bell.
The defense made a counter claim
of negligence on the part of the
driver, as there was perfect view of
the approaching train possible from
the road crossing.
Atty. w. Lon Johnson was the at
torney for the prosecution, and he
was assisted by Atty. w. w. Zent
of Spokane. The Great Northern
was represented by it's Spokane at
torney C. S. Albert. Many wit
nesses from Colville were present for
the trial. Local comment on the
settlement indicates an opinion that
the terms of the settlement are es-
pecially favorable for the prosecu-
tion, in view of all the circumstances
attending the accident.

Should Observe Care
in Planting Strawberries

Every spring there are consider
able number of people growing straw
berries who desire to gain some
revenue by selling plants from their
fields. They overlook the fact that
before selling plants they must com
ply with certain regulations which
our state law provides for the pro-
lection of the strawberry producing
industry in particular and all hor-
ticultural activities in general.
For FIRST consideration, there is now
in effect a quarantine against the
sale of plants from field infested
with the strawberry root weevil. Be-
fore plants may be sold from any
field, it must be inspected and pro-
nounced free from weevil by an
authorized horticultural inspector
The weevil works in the soil where
it destroys the roots and crown OF
the plant, resulting finally in the
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1922-04-29

death of the entire plant. Some of
the most flourishing strawberry dis
tricts of this state have been practi-
cally forced out of the production of
this crop by the entrance and Spread
of the weevil. Hence the extreme
necessity of preventing its further
spread.
Second, there is the nurseryman's
license to be obtained and bond to
be supplied. Strawberry plants are
nursery stock just as much as fruit
trees and ornamental shrubs and any
one selling berry plants must be
licensed and bonded in accordance
with the law governing the nursery
business.
The intent Of the law requiring a
license and bond is to place a check
on INSCRIPTIONS dealers who are
wont to sell plants not true to name,
age or variety, and plants carrying de-
structive diseases and pests.
The penalties provided for failure
to comply with the quarantine orders
and laws relating to the sale of
nursery stock Gncluding strawberry
plants) are quite severe as compared
with the cost and slight inconvenience
of complying. These regulations are
all for the improvement and protec-
tion of our fruit crops which every
one desires to have flourish. Inter
ested persons may obtain detailed in
formation regarding these regulations
from l.. r. Batson, Dep. Hort. inspec-
tor. Kettle Falls.

Daisy Mine Encounters
Vein in Lower Tunnel

After driving tunnel HOO feet
toward the vein, the Consolidated
Silver Mountain Mines Co., better
known as the Daisy mine, has struck
the ledge at a depth of 500 feet,
and is in values running as high as
$3.50 in silver, lead and gold.
The tunnel is the lowest of three
tunnels that have been driven toward
the vein. All have encountered the
vein, and better values have been OBJ
tanned at each new depth. Before
the last strike, it was estimated that
there were 10000 tons of ore in
sight.
This mine has underground work
ings totaling $500 feet, and about
100000 has been expended for de-
velopment. The Seelye brothers
are the principal owners of the prop
erty, which lies a few miles north
east of Daisy. There are 9 patented
claims. Some of the ore is quite
similar to the high grade silver ore
of the Old Dominion.
A mill will be installed on the
property as a part of the next move
in opening the property as ship
per, and the vein will be stopped
from the point of contact of the lower
tunnel with the ore body.
