Born, to Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Cornwall Nov. 11,
a son.
T. Ferris, of Deer Park, has been assisting with
the carpenter work on the Christian church this
week.
A freight wreck between Deer Park and Pratt
last Tuesday delayed trains even longer than is us
ual on the Great Northern system.
H. T. Grimm, of the Colville Abstract Co., and
E. M. Heifner were over at the Bonanza mine and
its vicinity on business Wednesday.
The Colville roller mill will resume operations
next week, but owing to the small amount of
wheat coming in it is not certain how long a run
can be made.
C. W. Stanley of Blue Creek was in town Thurs
day on business pertaining to his saw mill which is
about four miles west of Blue Creek. He reports a
general scarcity of teams for logging and hauling
lumber.
Miss Katharine Trevitte of Chicago will give a
recital at the courthouse Thursday evening, the
21st. Miss Trevitte is a recitist and impersonator
and ranks among the best. Selections from Riley,
Field, Meredith and Kate Douglass Wiggin will be
rendered, with music interspersed. An admission
fee of 25 cents will be charged, and any money
cleared will go to the benefit of the high school
piano fund. With this worthy cause bringing a
reader of such note, a large attendance may be ex
pected.
The Colville High School Athletic Association has
just organized a basket ball club, with about 30
members. Coach J. A. Johnson next week will
start practice with the boys at the roller rink. Two
teams of the town association will play the two
teams organized from the high school club and
thus afford good practice in this finest of winter
athletic sport. The Ist of March will see the be
ginning of indoor practice in baseball. High school
athletics are receiving attention this year as never
before and the benefit resulting is noticeable.
The proposition to raise the town of Colville
from fourth to third class will be placed before the
voters Dec. 3. Such change, according to Jesseph
& Grinstead, city attorneys, would leave the town
officers the same as now with the exception of
there being seven councilmen instead of five as
now. All officers would be elected instead of some
being appointed as now, and all officers except
councilmen would serve for one year. In a city of
the third class the mayor has veto power, which
does not exist in a town of the fourth class. Sal
aries will be fixed by ordinance, the same as at
the present time. The proceedings of a citizens'
caucus held Saturday night to nominate candidates
are found in another column.
Dr. L. B. Harvey has purchased the 16-horse
power Maxwell runabout owned by Jack Mooney.
Mr. and Mrs. George Stenger, who have been
touring the east for the past two months, were
heard from at the Jamestown exposition this week,
and announce that they will be home by Thanks
giving time.
Colville possesses an industry which is meeting
with such favor that plans are under way to place
the business upon a larger basis. This is the man
ufacture of "Imperishable Paint," the patent and
copyright for the name of which are owned by E.
A. Bennett. For about ten years Mr. Bennett has
been making this paint, shipping considerable, but
using more in his own work. It is made from pure
white lead, zinc and oil, but with an ingredient
added which causes the paint to crystalize and
wear for years without chalking or cracking. He
places it upon the market with a guarantee for
five years. At present he has only a small mill for
grinding, but next summer intends to enlarge his
facilities, advertise the product and sell in quantity
to retailers throughout the country. This paint
can be made to sell at the same prices which east
ern paints cost laid down here. If Colville can
possess a factory capable of turning out paint
equal in price and better in quality than eastern
productions, support will readily come to the enter
prise, especially when there is an added guarantee
of durability by a local firm. Stevens county wel
comes any home industry which will bring money
into the county and aid in keeping its money with
in its own confines.
If you are going to do any painting this fall be
sure and get prices at Carroll's before buying.
