trees forming all the letters of the
alphabet, gathered just as nature
framed them. He has limbs resem-
bling serpents, animals and human
forms. He has taken curiously
formed branches of trees and made
them into furniture, sometimes wierd,
sometimes exquisitely beautiful. Of
ten an entire piece of furniture is one
curiously twisted root or limb, with
no improvement or change at the
hands of man other than a coat of
varnish to preserve the wood.
There is an exhibit of natures
grating that is remarkable. 1t may
not be known that nature is good
CRATER, but Baree can prove it. He
has samples of cedar, fir, spruce and
pine limbs which have been grated
by nature, and samples of cotton
wood where nature did its best to
form graft, but could only secure
the result by clinching. Baree, who
knows every kind of wood by its first
name, can show by his exhibits why
branches turn and twist, and again
why they sometimes grow straight.
AS school for the horticultural stu
dent his exhibit is masterpiece.
One twisted limb he secured from
the top CT 150-foot tree near lone.
From his camp he saw this limb, and
wanted it, but could not at first de-
termine how to get it. Finally he
used his 30-30 rifle, and with four
shots cut the 212 inch limb from the
top. The limb shows the bullet
marks where he neatly severed the
limb from the tree top with his rifle
bullets.
A rare curio is his specimen of the
worm which lives in birch trees and
makes silk.
Baree is a musician, and can play
any of the various instruments he has
made, among them being a banjo
made from a gold pan, a violin from
a gasoline can, and guitar from a
chocolate box.
Among the exhibits of the things
he has made are some pieces of fur
niture which have been valued at
$500 and more.

power treaty, and explained the le-
gal and technical reasons for his
vote for Newberry without alluding
to the moral side of the question on
which he has been so bitterly attack
ed within his own party.
The senator's statements on which
there might be a difference of opinion
We're: "This congress has done more
for the farmer than all previous
congresses" "The Newberry expen-
ditures were argued and discussed by
every newspaper in the state before
the election" "If a man has the
right to quit work, another man has
the right to take up that work"
"There is no political servitude or
industrial slavery in the United
States" "The railroads were not
guaranteed 5h9S dividends through
the Esch-Cummings law" "There
were between four and five million
men out of work March 4, 1918"
AT different times his state nents
were greeted with applause, the
greatest response coming at the men
tion of President Harding. The
amount of applause at other times
indicated that about half the audience
was with him. The senator was
reasonably kind to c. C. Dill, but
not complimentary to Mrs. AXtell,
his party opponent.
FSeven auto loads of Chewelah men
were present and number of others
from surrounding towns came to
hear the senator.

Introducing New Pastor
Who Comes from Dayton

As an introduction to the new pas
tor of the M. E. church, the Examin-
er reprints the following article from
the Chronicle published at Dayton,
Wash, the last pastorate of the man
selected for the Colville field for the
ensuing year:
F"The word has gone out that Rev.
F. L. Cook is to be transferred to
new field. The many friends of Mr..
Cook will regret his removal. They
will miss his genial face and cordial
greeting. 1t has been said that Cooks
hearty handclasp and friendly smile
expressed more worth while theology
than most other mems sermons. He
was a friend in need and he would
sooner help a man that was down
than eat, and he was not opposed to
eating either.
"His genial humor was well known,
and many of his pungent sayings
are labeled 'Cookisms' and will travel
the social round for a long time
after he is gone. He was known
in all the country as a ready and
forceful speaker and fearless in his
support of what he believed TO be
right Nobody ever suspected him
of being trimmer or a time-server
He never side-stepped or crawled in
the presence of prominent people,
EXpediency had no place in his phil
osophy of life. He might not always
be diplomatic, but he was never in
sincere. His theology might not be
palatable, to the crowd, but he would
not exchange it for any mess of
pottage. We take off our hats to
the rugged sincerity of such man,
especially at time when so many
are conveniently willing to be any
thing or nothing if they can thereby
curry bit of popular favor or an
mex bunch of FOOLS pence.
"Then there is Mr.. Cooks devoted
wife. This is especially true of the
wife and patient mother. When
mans life work is summed up,
usually half the credit belongs to his
wife. How pathetically few
realize her value. Linked by af-
fection to the home affairs, patiently
tending the home fires; often un-
known to publicity or fame, she
treads her quiet circle and pins her
self to unheralded tasks, that hus-
band and children may win out in
larger fields. Such women may miss
the bouquets of popular applause, but
they will earn the higher award that
comes to those who are faithful and
true. Farewell and success to Rev.
F. L. Cook and his family"

Carroll Pharmacy Closes
After 20 Years History

After being in business in Colville
for 20 years, the Carroll Pharmacy
closes this week and c. H. Carroll
and his son Burdine Carroll and
family leave for Seattle to make
their home.
The Carroll Pharmacy was estab-
lished in 1902 by C.. H. Carroll, who
came here from Marcus and opened
the pharmacy in the same building
in which it has remained ever since.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll were both
pharmacists and operated the store
together until her illness and death
this spring.
Burdine Carroll has been a Seattle
resident for several years, and ex-
poets to open a pharmacy on the
west side. His wife. is also a phar-
macist, but since her marriage has
given little time>,to the work.
The CAROLS, will be missed from
Colville and Stevens county, and their
host of friends wish them success
and happiness i in their new home.
The store building and lot have
been purchased by J. C. Freeman,
who may erect new building. Part
of the drug stock was sold here, and
some is being shipped to Seattle, to-
gether with the Carroll household
goods. The Carroll home on north
Main street will be occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. C. L. Baker.

POindexter at COlville
in Last Primary Speech

The last campaign speech of the
primary election was made in Col
vile Monday night by Senator Miles
Poindexter, who motored here in the
afternoon with Mrs. Poindexter, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. w. Sexsmith and the
usual reporters.
The Palace theater, which seats
nearly 300, was filled. Atty. H. Wade
Bailey introduced Senator Poindex-
ter, who spoke two hours, covering
the work of the republican congress
since March a, 1919. His talk was
along general lines, and he did not
go into details on any points. With
the exception of scattered statements
which might be made in two min
utes, his address was one which
might be made by the advocate of
any party, and his statements were
such as no hearers might take ex-
ception to. The senator seemed
wearied after his strenuous campaign
for the denomination by the republi-
can party, and only at times did he
present a sign of the old vigor with
which he used to deal with political
questions.
His remarks touched on the Co.
lumbia basin project, federal loans on
crops, and che war expenditures. He
defended his vote for repeal of the
excess profits tax, stated his opposi-
tion to the government taking over
the railways, defended the four

Famous Chewelah Horses
Again Come to COlville

Mrs.. Fred letter of Chewelah was
here this week making arrangements
for her exhibits in the Chewelah
booth at the Livestock show. She
will have a rest room in the exhibit,
and demonstrate to ladies how to
dress for health. Mrs. letter operates
the letter hospital at Chewelah, and
had wonderful exhibit at the fair
last year.
The letter team of Percheron-
Shetland horses, Dan and Topsy,
will participate in the parade again.
This team, composed of the only
horses of the kind west of the
Rockies, was given the blue ribbon
at the Spokane fair last week. The
horses will be ridden by Mrs. letter
and the Chewelah princess, and will
help to illustrate the old Indian leg
end of the conquest of the Chewelah
valley by the white race.
The Indian legend tells that long
before civilization began, the Indian
chief Keen-Ear and his two beauti-
full daughters Sunbeam and Moon
beam lived at the top of Chewelah
peak in tepee, and their horses
grazed knee deep in grass. They
were very happy until they heard
the rumblings of civilization. Little
Moonbeam came running in one day
and said to her sister "The white
chief Chewelah is coming today"
Sunbeam, in her jealousy, said
"Where is the white chief? | have
a date with him." At that little
Moonbeam blindfolded her horse and
rode off the mountain, and the great
water snake writhed, turned over and
died. The Indians had always lived
in great awe of the water snake.
Then civilization began, the white
chief commenced to reign, and has
been supreme ever since, loved and
respected by the Indians.
Mrs. letter will represent the
white chief, and Miss Muriel Rhoden
will represent her maid Moonbeam.

An old hen came up to young
White Leghorn pullet and said,
"M'dear, l hear you cackling almost
every day. Did it ever occur to you
that by laying each day you are
making less work for hens? If you
will follow my example and lay only
once a week you will be just as
happy and then there will be work
for six more hens. You see these
incubators and brooders are laying
off so many hens there is great un-
employment. The only way to do is
to organize and do less work so
there will be more employed"
The pullet looked up in amaze
ment and was about to ask for fur
ther information when she was in
terrupted by the farmers boy COM
ing with hatchet, and his mother
saying, "Get that old three-year-old.
She don't lay nohow."

are located, producing a like sum yearly. A shaft is being sunk on this property, which is called the Midnight Sun Mining Company with Miss Cash man as manager The company has no officers and no offices, but is being conducted on business principles by Miss Cashman who has had years of experience in the mining game. So far, she has spent none of the money received from stock sales, paying her own expenses and saving every dol lar accumulated to develop the ground
 Miss Cashman is thorough pros- pector and miner, having followed the business in the largest camps in the states, where she amassed consider able fortune before coming to Alaska. The call of the wild is still strong within her breast and she would not trade Alaska as home for any coun- try under the sun.

JAPANESE PROTEST AMERICAN ORDERS
 IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

HONULULU, Oct. 17-There is no protest on the part of the Chinese community here against the pro- posed changes in foreign language schoolsr rearranging their courses of of study to conform more with Amer ican standards and ideals. The at titude of the Chinese is in marked contrast to that of the Japanese community and press, which are pro- tions suggested by a joint committee of Americans and Japanese. The Jap anese press has accused American members of the joint committee of using coercion which forced the Jap- anese to submit to their recommen- dations.
 In a letter to MacCaughey on the Governor Wallace R. Harrington makes the following declarations:
 American Territory"
 This is an American territory, and the solution of our problems must always be reached along Ameri- can lines. There can be no divided allegiance so far as American cti- zens are concerned in their relation to the American children and for the development of the best American ideas in morals and Government.
 "It should be clearly understood that there can bo no division of al- legiance among the children who are expected to assume the respon- abilities as well as the privileges of American citizenship"

K0YUKUK HAS
 WET SUMMER,
 SAYS0LDTIMER

"We have had cold, windy, wet summer Gardens have not done very well, but as there has been consider able water on the creeks, some oper- ators have had a good season, espe- cially on Nolan creek, where Harper Workman, Peter Dow, Wool and Wanamaker, and Henry Pingel, all working on the left limit benches, have had prosperous summer writes an oldtimer in the Koyukuk country to the Fairbanks News.
 James Kelly, on Bettles river, has some fairly good ground and is said to be taking out about $40 day. It is reported that Gilbert & Ellington, on Jim Pup, have struck good pay; and also that Brady & Watts, on Ham, mond river at the mouth of Swift Creek, where they have taken lease from Averill & Huey picked up a thou sand dollars recently.
 ."Emma, Porcupine and Slate creeks have not turned out very much this season. There have been no recent re- ports from Wild river or Hog river.
 Foley and Swift have bought out Bob Burfords interest on TramWay Bar, and are said to have good pay, with several seasons work in sight. Take it all around, the mining outlook for the upper Koyukuk looks bright
 '"The oat crop up here does not amount to much this season, and two frosts in July, in addition to the cold, wet summer, shortened the crop of na- tive potatoes to away below normal We have some small carrots, beets and cabbage, and celery and lettuce did fairly well. Some caribou have been killed, and there are apparently many rabbits and ptarmigan. At pres ent there is shortage of coal oil ham, bacon and dog salmon. There have been only two mails since the breakup"

NEW PASSENGER CARS FOR
 GOVERNMENT RAILROAD

An order has recenly been placed for two additional sleeping cars and two additional baggage cars for the Alaska railroad, and it is expected that sleeping cars will be shipped within a few weeks. The baggage cars, which will be constructed new, will follow some time during the winter.
 Probably few people even along the line of the railroad realize that the commission is operating nearly one thousand cars of various kinds. For instance there are thirty passenger coaches, ZIG freight cars, and 236 cars of a miscellaneous nature, such as bunk cars, etc., total of 7S2 There are thirty-nine locomotives in service.

WOMAN MINER
 IS DEAN OF
 GOLD HUNTERS

Nellie Cashman, one of the oldest and best known mining operators of the Territory, was a passenger on the 1 last Admiral Evans to the States, where she will float stock in her rich mining properties on Nolan creek in the Koyukuk district. Miss Cashman has sold several thousand shares of stock in her proposition to. prominent Fairbanksans and others, and has a gilt edge proposition, backed by years of experience and life time of busi- ness probity, says the Seward Gate way.
 Miss Cashman is the oldest pioneer in Alaska today, having first visited the Territory in 1875, nearly half cen tury ago, and since that date has been engaged in the mercantile and mining business in several of the more promi- nent Alaskan camps, achieving repu- tation for successful business deals.
 Away back in the early seventies, when Miss Cashman was considerably younger than she is at the present time, she was a resident of Virginia city, made famous by it's mines and bv Mark Twain. She went to Victoria, and hearing that strike was on in the Cassiar district, and that about 15O men were down with the scurvy, she, with a number of companions left Victoria with supplies and medicines to succor the distressed miners. The party landed at what was then Fort Wrangell Alaska, and worked thelr way I'D to Cassiar Her mission being accumulated, she returned to Arizona, after remaining in the koyukuk TOT three years In 1879 she returned to Alaska, going over the trail to Daw- son, from Dawson removing to Fair banks, where she engaged in the mer- camille business with great success financially.
 After putting in several years in the i.,terior metropolis, Miss Cashman To- cated some valuable claims on Nolan creek, in the Koyukuk district. The KOyukuk has been one of the terrl- tory's heaviest gold producers, averag ing about S3OO,OOO annually, Nolan creek, where Miss Cashman's claims
