Former COlville Pitcher
Operates Collie Farm

Colville residents who remember
the days of professional baseball in
this city cannot have forgotten the
years during which Chris Stelz was
Colville's popular pitcher. Announ-
cement that Chris was going to
pitch would always bring crowd,
and for some reason or other Chris
generally brought home the goods.
The following from the Spokes-
man-Review indicates that the for
mer pitcher is still in the land of
the living, and active as usual:
Spokane is to have one of the
finest and most complete collie ken
nels in the United States, according
to Mrs. Chris Stelz, who with her
husband, C. T. Stelz, has purchased
the old Barlow dairy farm of 81
acres, situated on the hill, mile
north of the city limits and quar-
ter mile west of the Country Club
road. Mrs. Stelz has carried off
high honors with her dogs at shows
all over the United States and last
March at st. Louis won first for the
best American bred dog in compe-
tition with ring Of 100 dogs. In
addition to the sable and white and
mahogany dogs which she now has,
she is to have blue and white and
tri-colored dogs.
"The Stelz collie farm is to be the
name of the new kennel location.
The place has large greenhouses,
barn and between Is and 20 acres
in cultivation. The rest is timber
land. There is a large eight-room
modern house which has hardwood
floors, fireplace, two bathrooms and
full subdivided basement, with laun-
dry, fuel and fruit rooms. The house
commands a magnificent view OF
Spokane and the surrounding coun-
try. The entire place is being put
into first class repair and the green
houses are to be utilized for a nurs-
cry business. 1t was bought from
Alfred P. johnson and wife for
reported consideration of s65O0. Up
on the death of the original owner
litigation ensued and the place fell
into disrepair. He held it at $3O,ooo
and is said to have refused $25,OO0
for It,"

Silver Mine at Daisy
Shows Rich Estimates

At the Silver Mountain Mining
and Milling Co. property near Daisy
crew of men is steadily driving the
lower tunnel to reach a point under
the big ore shoot under the shaft.
Another so feet will bring the tun-
mel 70 it's destination.
w. E. Seelye, manager, estimates
$4,000 tons of ore in sight, principal
ly silver values, with some gold and
a small amount of lead. The COM
pany is equipped with compressor
plant, blacksmith shop, 100-ton
crusher, and a complete equipment
for mining. The company's capitali-
zation is $l50,000, with shares at
1Oc. There are half million shares
left in the treasury, and it is plan
ned to sell some stock to complete
the mill. The company has 8 claims,
all patented.
1t is believed that $4,000 tons can
be broken down and sorted that will
average S55 ton, at cost of only
$2.25 a ton. Hauling to railroad
costs SO ton, freight to smelter 81,
smelter charge SO. At this estimate,
there would be an immediate profit

a healthy banking condition in this

the time of the last call for state
ment were not so great as at some
previous calls, due to various rea-
sons, but largely due to payment Of
dividends, reduction of amounts in
surplus, contractions of commercial
paper and some slight shrinkage in
deposits. However, normal tone
in banking is evidenced by the seq
regated statements Of all banks, and
the banks show plenty of money for
legitimate use, and fol borrowers
who have protected their credit, and
for carrying on the industry of the
community.

dent; w. l.. Sax, vice president; c.
l.. Baker, cashier; Irving d. Sill,
assistant cashier; l.. S. Munger, as

ance department. Total assets of
the bank Dec. 81 were $7O6,650.

vile, the oldest national bank in the

rectors: Hugh Waddell, president;
Henry r. Spedden, vice president, C.

tablished in 1919 and has just
occupied nice building with modern
equipment. Total assets Dec. 81

SPROULE MAKES
STATEMENT ON
MERGER DECISION

SAN FRANCISCO, June II. - The
following statement was issued here
today by William Sproule, president of
the Southern Pacific Company:
"The public is so widely interested
in the present discussions Of the South
ern Pacific System as it now exists, in
contrast with what may happen to it
under the recent decision of the su-
preme court of the United States, that
it seems proper for me to submit to
our customers, who are the shipping
and travelling public, some leading facts
in the situation with which they, as
well as this company, are confronted.
"The supreme court decision of May
% requires the Southern Pacific, to
cancel its lease of the Central Pacific,
to sell its Central Pacific stock, and
to bring about separation of the two
companies so that control Of their op-
erations will be separate and independ-
ent of each other.
"The Central Pacific has been leas-
ed to the Southern Pacific for 81 years,
or since February, 1885. The Southern

CALEXICO, June 14.-Word has
been received that Senator Gooding OF
Idaho had introduced a bill in the Sen
ate placing short staple cotton on the
dutiable list. Local people cannot un'
