$4,000 Seizure
of Fine Liquors

A seizure of $4,000 worth of
liquors, at prices current in Spokane,
was made Monday afternoon at
Laurier by Customs Inspector Jacob
Meyers. The haul included AZ cases
or 576 bottles of whisky, IL cases of
gin, IL sacks of beer, and a jug of
whisky.
Myers was suspicious of the men
who went across the border the pre-
vious day, and in watching for their
return located two cars which were
under suspicion of booze running. One
car got away, but he landed the Sec
ond one, Dodge speedster, carrying
the contraband, in charge of Ed. To-
bin and Patrick E. Gavin, who gave
Pendleton as their address. The car
go was destined for Walla Walla and
Pendleton.
Myers brought the men to Colville
Monday night and placed them in the
custody of Sheriff w. H. Graham.
Tuesday morning they appeared be-
fore Mrs. Kathrine S. Ide, U. S. COM
missioner, who placed them under
$500 bonds to appear before the fed
eral court in Spokane, where they
were taken Wednesday by a U. S.
marshal. The liquor and car were
kept by the inspector at Laurier.

Start Engineering Work
at Falls of Columbia

The preliminary survey work at the
Kettle falls of the Columbia between
Marcus and Kettle Falls has been
started, and a crew of men is at
work on the engineering problems.
The company has three years to file
plans for the power development with
the federal water power commission,
which last June granted permission
for development.
1t is estimated that 100000 horse
power can be developed at the falls
by the Washington Water Power Co..
The power plants of this company at
Long Lake and at Spokane are run
ming to capacity, and more power
will soon be needed. The engineer
ing work this year will include dia-
mond drilling to learn the condition
of the underlying strata, and sur
veying the lands above the falls to
determine the amount of land which
would be overfowed by the proposed
dam, which will be above the upper
falls.
The engineering work will take
some months, and no permanent work
will be commenced until the plans
are filed with the federal commission.

COlville Valley Farmer
Laid to Rest Tuesday

The funeral of Walter H. McMil-
Ian, who died here last week, was
held at the McCord Undertaking par
lors Tuesday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. F. L. Cook, pastor of the
M. E. church. Music was rendered
by Mrs. j. C. Harrigan. Burial was
at Highland. Many of his former
neighbors in the vicinity of Orin,
Arden and Addy were present at the
services to pay their last tribute of
respect to their friend.
Walter H. Mcmillan was born in
Ontario March 2, 1859. When 10
years of age he moved with his par
ents to Michigan where he remained
6 years. After spending number of
years in Dakota, he came to this
state about 20 years ago. Most Of
the time he has been engaged in
farming in this county, and at the
time of his passing was resident
of Arden.
The past three years he had been
a constant sufferer and was confined
to his bed for more than a year.
He came to Colville three weeks
ago in order to be near his physician,
trusting that the winter would see a
change for the better. This, how

Dry Season Affected
Wheat and Oats Crops

Penzig Bros, who are completing
their 7th season threshing in the Col
vile country, report that the grain
crops this year are not particularly
good. Wheat averaged all the way
from 1 to 80 bushels an acre, the
average in the valley being 13 to 30.
Oats averaged 30 to 35, but RAJ as
high as 65 on favored groAsnd.
In the hills the wheat ran as low
as 8, with oats short, no rye, and
poor barley. The threshing jobs
have mostly been small ones, or set
jobs. Last years report was about
$4,000 bushels, while this year will
run with them only about $4,000
bushels. Considering the dry season,
this is said to be good, and it must
be said that on some Of the better
ground the yield was right up to the
average despite the drouth.
There is little disease in the grain,
damage being confined to drouth, with
a little smut. In the country north
of Colville the fall grain was not bad
but the spring grain could not be
threshed. The corn was better than
usual, with wonderful crops of to-
matoes and sweet corn, and fine gar
dens.

Efficient Officials Save
in the Criminal Costs

Judge D. H. Carey made a volun-
tary cut of $4,000 in the estimate for
court expenses for next year. This
year he is saving about $4,000 out
of the estimate, and stated to the
editor of the Examiner on Wednesday
that he was able to do this by reason
of the most efficient work of the
sheriff's and prosecuting attorneys
offices, which had held down the ex-
pense of trials and convictions.
eff the sheriff and prosecuting at
torney properly prepare their crimi-
nal cases." said Judge Carey, "the
state pays for the witnesses on con-
viction. But with a disagreement of
jury, or an acquittal, the county has
to pay the costs. Probably no other
county in the state has Zone as well
in handling the criminal matters as
has Stevens county during the last
two years, and the result has been
to hold down court costs"
This high compliment for Sheriff
w. H. Graham, his first deputy d. F..
Ham, and second deputy c. A. Led
gerwood up to Aug. l, and Prosecu-
ting Attorney o. w. Noble, shows
that efficient work is appreciated. 1t

Tax Levy High
for Another Year
County and State Taxes to
Be 31H Mills for
This Year

Relief for the average taxpayer is
not yet in sight in Stevens county.
The taxpayers of this county will
again pay 311a mills tax for county
and state purposes, the same as last
year. Those who were so fortunate
as to have their valuations reduced
will not pay so much as last year.
The commissioners this week finish
ed their making of levies, and des-
pite their best efforts they were un-
able to cut the tax levy, due largely
to the continuation of high tax
demanded for state purposes.
Following are the levies in mills,
and amount in dollars, for 1922 taxes
payable next February:
Tota1 I nxSnc
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1922-10-14

The total amount of taxes for coun-
ty purposes is less than 1921 or 1920,
but valuations have been cut over
million dollars, leaving the tax levy
for county purposes higher than in
either previous year.
Taxpayers must not expect that
their taxes can be lowered unless the
state enacts some legislation which
will cut the demand for state money,
and the county officials devise some
means of lowering the costs of their
offices. The commissioners are help
less to change conditions, and none
but the taxpaying voters themselves
can prevent the recurring high taxes.

Work was started yesterday, 1t was
announced through The Associated
Press. at the United States Assay Of
flee on Wall Street, on the installation
of electrical precipitation equipment
calculated to keep particles Of valua-
Die metals from going out of the build
ing along with the smoke from the
smelling and refining plant.
From tests made at the ASSAY Of
flee and extending over a consid erable
period, Superintendent Isaac H. Smith
believes that more than $4,000 worth
Of gold, silver and other metals will
be saved every year by the installation
of this new device.
The electrical plant is being put on
the ninth floor to capture particles of
metals arising from the smelling and
refining operations, and floating up
the smokestack. The gases which it is
purposed to treat will pass through
flues to the precipitation plant.
In addition to the precipitation
equipment, the present ventilating sys.
tenn will be augmented by electrically
equipped fans and flues which will re-
duce the working temperature in the
smelling rooms. This combined install
lation will be of sufficient capacity to
handle approximately 10000 cubic feet
of gas per minute.

Since Ruth's birth her mother, slight
and rather pretty in an angular, pi-

OF her time and attention, according to
her own story, to endeavors to get rid
OF the child, although she denies that

fed it as a picture Of her child, but
betrayed no concern. She declared
that she had seen nothing in the pa

graph she believed Ruth to be in

She had tried many institutions. she
said, without finding one which would
accept the baby, and Friday night,
when woman who had been boarding

A. D. Van Buren,, of 16 East Forty
third Street, an attorney and formerly
legal adviser in the prohibition depart
ment at Washington, where he framed
the regulations governing the distribu-
tion of rabbinical wine, attacked his
own regulations yesterday before
United States Commissioner Hitchcock.
He also attacked the validity of the
Volstead law on constitutional grounds,
asserting that the law could not apply
to ordained ministers of any religion
without violating the constitutional
covenant of religious freedom.
The case, which involves the most in
teresting legal question yet raised in
opposition to the Volstead law, is that
