ment. Davis asks that the court de
cree that he is entitled to have ferry

CHRISTMAS
Is there a season of the year that means
more to the hearts of old and young alike
than Christmas time!
To the young folks it is the one day

home-coming—the reunion and renewing of
home ties and friendships.
To all in the circle of our acquaintance
and friendships we, too, would extend our
sincere wishes for a happy Christams.

Frank J. Naff, aged 46, a well
known rancher near Addy, died Sun
day night at Mt. Carmel hospital
in Colville as a result of appendici
tis. He had been a resident of
Addy since 1890, coming from Ten
nessee to Oakesdale in 1884, where
he lived six years. He was vice
president of the Stevens County
Pioneer association, and had been
prominent in grange and community
activities. He leaves a widow, six
sons, three daughters, three brothers,
four sisters. Funeral was at Addy
Wednesday afternoon.
In reporting a theft at the Ardcn
grange hall last week, an Arden sub
scriber sends the following to the
Examiner: "The meanest man in
Stevens county paid Arden a visit
one day last week, climbed through
a broken window in the Home Lum
ber Co.'s store and office building, un
locked an inside door leading into the
grange hall, stole the poor grangers'
broom, then unlocked another door
leading into the company's store
room and stole a steam gauge. Now
ain't that a fine combination, a
broom and a steam gauge! Some
nice people, I don't think." The
Examiner hasn't heard from W. P.
Buckley, master of the Arden
grange, as to the value of the broom,
but it is evident that the Arden
grangers use good brooms in their
hall.

ing board, J. R. Jones, Albert I.

A report seemed to have gained
circulation that changes were to be
made in station agents at Northport
and Colville due to the return of
Captain Paul Otey, former agent at
Northport. This report is unfounded,
and no change is in sight. Railway
patrons at Northport and at Col
ville feel fortunate in having the
present incumbents in charge of the
offices, and as both hold precedence
by reason of long service on this
line, there may not be any change
until there is opportunity for advan
cement to higher paid positions.
Herman Warner of Evans, age
60 years, unmarried, died at Mt.
Carmel hospital Dec. 20, from the
result of injuries received in an ac
cident in the lime quarries near
Evans. He was born in Germany.

known. He has resided in Stevens
county 15 or 20 years. Interment
took place at Highland with Rev.
John M. Huggins officiating.
Mrs. Sarah Samueles, former resi
dent east of Colville, has been at
the Deaconess hospital in Spokane
where her left arm was amputated.
She is 68 years of age. Before
leaving Colville she had trouble with
her arm, and had been advised to
consult a specialist, as it appeared
that there was a necrosis of the
bone. So far as is known, the
trouble started from a slight bruise
on the arm.
