'I hope none of you will fail to cast your ballots in the primary Tuesday," admonished President J. w. Donnelly to the Rotary club.

We owe it to ourselves and to our country to express our choice for the of- ficials who are to be directly responsible for the operation of governmental affairs during the next few years"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
ADVISES STUDY OF BALLOT

Picking choice candidates in list of 1s3 names is going to be big job at the polls,' said Chief Deputy I. E. McReynolds, who has been busy this week getting the ballot boxes ready to be distributed to the various voting places.
 My advice to the voter is to get sample ballot if possible and study over the candi- dates so that he will be prepared to mark the ballot with facility on the day of the pri- mary. Unless some speed is shown the polling places will be clogged most of the day A sample ballot could probably be obtained from some of the candidates which would give some idea of what to expect on election day. It seems that the newspapers in few days ought to publish a ballot giving a list of all the candidates. The voter could then study over the list and pick out his choices for the va- rious offices

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A MELANCHOLY MATTER

A ms.n out walking went one day,
 His widows now forlorn; Sixteen or more spectators say
 He didn't hear the horn. Perhaps he thought of other things While strolling through the town, Who now, perchance, is wearing wings And eke a golden crown. Iris certain that to motor cars
 He paid but little heed His death was written in the stars,
 Which means by fate decreed. For any man who ventures out
 Where speeders zip and zoom, And doesn't keep his wits abont
 Him, $ headed for the tomb.

COMPETENT MOTOR DRIVER
 a6 YEARS OLD

Benjamin F. Range, 96-year-old veteran of the Civil war, has taken out license in New York to drive motor car. He found no diff ficulty in passing the state examination for driving an automobile. When he showed steady hand, good eyesight and quick brain, doubting officials were convinced that he was entitled to his license.
 For years MT. Range wanted motor car. Now he owns one and he proposes to get as much enjoyment out of it, and probably will, as if he were a mere youngster of 60 instead of being four mile posts away from century. He is not the sort of man who begins to get ready to die when he hears the allotted span of four score years and ten, and as a result inevitably dies. He has probably been so busy living and keeping young that he hasn't had time to grow old.
 MT. Range is good example for other men, not so well advanced in years as he is, who would hesitate to trust themselves at the steering wheel of an automobile. With more old boys driving cars and not so many young ones, there would be fewer accidents. A man 96 years old is not going to train to a crossing, boost a pedestrian into eternity just for the fun of the thing, or specialize in joy riding.

SAYS BUsINEss NEVER BETTER

Despite the fact that the strike is with us and you hear many say on all sides that business is stagnant, we have no room for faut-finding with business conditions said Joe Saks.
 Business is here, all that is requisite to bring results is hard work Yesterday was one of the biggest days with our firm that we have had during the summer, and coming, as it does, in the midst of the season with many out of employment, believe is an in- dication, and good one, that there is no depression among us"

PREFERS HIS OWN KNOWLEDGE

'I was much pestered the other day by friend of mine who insisted that i vote for some candidates of his choosing" said W. R. Marby. "He had lot of nice things to say about them and seemed to think it was clinched and all with when he told me that he knew his choices were nice and fine men.
 "When he sprang that on me I answered that I preferred to vote for men whom knew to be nice and fine men rather than those who someone else said were proper men. But do you know, he seemed really affronted that I would not desert the men whom I knew to be fit for those he told me were fit. Human nature is funny, isn't it?"

To Hold Election on
School Consolidation

"Shall Red School house district
No. 36 consolidate with Colville con-
solidated district No. So" is the ques-
tion which will be settled at the
school election held at the gymna-
stun in Colvlle, Wednesday, July 5.
A movement is on foot to consolidate
the two, and several meetings have
been held in district 36 to discuss
the question. F. Leo Grinstead ad-
dressed one of these meetings and
explained to the people that it was
not his purpose to ask them to con-
soidate, and that the people of Col
vile were not asking it. He also
stated that it would in no way es-
pecially benefit Colville, and that it
would increase the taxes of district
No. 36 -four or five mills; the only
advantage being increased education
al facilities. If the election carries
in favor of consolidation, van will
probably be run to Colville from the
district.

COlyille Ball Team
Defeated at CheWelah

The Colville ball team suffered de-
feat at the hands of Chewelah Sun
day. Despite the heat goodly num-
ber of fans from Colville attended
the game. The first inning of the
game was scoreless for both teams,
but in the second Colville brought in
two runs, and although it was early
in the game fans felt certain Col
vile would win. The third inning
was also held scoreIess, but after
that Chewelah had a batting rally,
making 10 runs in the remainder of
the game. Five of Chewelah's runs
were in one inning. Rogers pitched
a good game the first two innings,
bat after that began to weaken, and
Chewelah had no difficulty in hitting
him. Support was generally good,
but Smith had unusually hard luck
at short, and Moss in the field was
unable to judge distance. Exley was
put in center field in the ninth and
got two hard ones in succession as
they came out to him, helping to
hold Chewelah down. Colville rallied
in the eighth. The final score was
10 to 9.
The Colville team will play in
Marcus tomorrow and again on the
4th.

New Officers
For Barmans, Inc.
Sig Dilsheimer Disposes of
Interest in the Store to
Partners

A deal was closed the first part
of the week, whereby Sig Dilsheimer,
president of Barmans Inc, sold his
interest in the store to Louis Strauss
and Laz Dannheiser.
Mr.. Dilsheimer left Thursday for
Portland, Oregon, where he will be-
come associated with Lee Strauss in
the Mangold- Strauss Manufacturing
company at Union and East Mont
gomery streets, in the manufacture
of fancy wood articles and wood
turning Of all kinds.
A complete set modern machinery
has been installed in their two story
building, 50x120, for the manufac-
turing of their products. They are
at the present time employing rs
men.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1922-07-01

Mr.. Dilsheimer came to Colville
December %, 1889, and became as
sociated with Dave Barman as clerk
in his general store. At that time
there were about 500 white inhabi-
tants of the county, and the trading
was mostly with the Indians. The.
first store building was of wooden
frame construction and contained
1900 feet of floor space, while today
they have a modern building with
over 10000 feet of floor space.
In 1909, Mr.. Dilsheimer, Louis
Strauss and Laz Dannheiser pur-
chased the business from Mr.. Bar
man and incorporated 'Barmans Inc.
Mr.. Dilsheimer was elected president,
Laz Dannheiser vice president and
Louis Strauss secretary, which offices
these gentlemen have since held.
The new officers of the company,
who are now the owners, are Laz
Dannheiser, president; Louis Strauss,
treasurer and manager.
Mr.. Dilsheimer will still hold his
personal property in the county as
we'll as his real estate. He is the
owner of the building adjoining the
Bank of Colivlle, which now houses
the postoffice. He was interested
in many of the mining ventures of
the county as we'll as in British Co.
liumbia, and will retain these.
Mr.. Dilsheimer has always been
booster for Colville and Stevens
county, and is sorry that he had to
leave before he could bid goodbye
to his friends. But he states that
he expects to pay Colville visit
once in a while and enjoy the fish
ing and hunting as well as the hos
pitality Of his longtime friends.
