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 Mai'cus and opened the pharmacy in the same building in which it has remained ever sinte. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll were both pharmacists and operated the store together untH her illness and death this spi'ing. Burdine Carroll has been a Seattle resident for several years, and ex pects to open a pharmacy on the west side. His wife is also a phar macist, but since her-marriage has given tittle time-to the work. The Carrolls will be missed from Colville and Stevens county, and their host of friends wish them success and happiness in their new home. The store - building, and lot have been purchased by J. C. Freeman, who may erect a 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 ville Monday night by Senator Miles Poindexter, who motored here in the afternoon with Mrs. Poindexter, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sexsmith and the usual reporters. The Palace theater, which seat.s 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 4, 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 renomination 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 basir project, federal loans on crops, and che war expenditures. He defended hU vote for repeal of the excess profits tax, stated his opposi tion to the government taking over the railways, defended the four- "power treaty, and explained the le gal and technical reasons for his \ »°t p f°'' N'ewberry without alluding I BO the moral side of the question on Which he has been so bitterly attack ed within his; own party. L Thi' senator's statements on which I there might be a difference of opinion were: "This congress has done more for tlit? farmer than all previous I congresses." "The Newberry expen- I dltures were argued and discussed by erery newspaper in the state before thr election." "If a man has the right to quit work, another man has the right to take up that work." "Tliere is no political servitude or industrial slavery in the United I States.'' "The railroads were not I guaranteed hVa'.'i dividends through thr F.sih-Cummings law." "There v.cic between four and five million nicn out of work March 4, 1918." .At different times his stati-.nents I were greeted with appltu.Ai', the I greatest response coming at the men- I tion of President Harding, The amount of applause at other times indicated that about half the audience w»s with him. The senator was reasonably kind to C. C. Dill, but not complimentary to Mrs. Axtell, hi- !«n ty opponent. ■Seven auto loads of Chowelah men were present and a number of others I 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: "The word has gone out that Rev. P. L. Cook is to be transferred to a new field. The many friends of Mr. Cook will regret his removal. They will miss his genial face and cordial greeting. It has been said that Cook's hearty handclasp and friendly smile expressed more worth while theology than most other men's 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 light. Nobody ever suspected him of being a 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 a man, especially at a time when so many are conveniently willing to be any thing or nothing if they can thereby curry a bit of popular favor or an nex a bunch of fool's pence. "Then there is Mr. Cook's devoted wife. This is especially true of the wife and patient mother. When a man's 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 altars, patiently tending the home fires; often un known to publicity or fame, she treadH 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." Handiwork of Nature Is Exhibited by Baree An exhibit of nature's handiwork is being prepared in Colville for dis play at the Livestock Show this year, and this exhibit is to be of such an unusual character an to be of excep tional interest. Bud Baree, whose full name is liudwell Baree, is the artist who is preparing the exhibit. He has been a resident of Stevens, Ferry and Okanogan counties for the last four years, spending his time mostly at Orient, Marcus and Colville. He is a stockman by trade, but. for 26 years has been a student of nature in the mountains, and during the last six years he has collected the .specimens from which the exhibit is to be made. He has roots and branches of 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 nature's grafting that is remarkable. It may not be known that nature is a good grafter, but Baree can prove it. He has samples of cedar, fir, spruce and pine limbs which have been grafted by nature, and sampler of cotton wood where nature did its best to form a graft, but could only secure the result by clinching, liaree, 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 a school for the horticultural stu dent his exhibit is a masterpiece. One twisted limb he secured from the top cf a 150-foot tree near lone. From his camp be 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 2'/a-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 oi 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 a 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. Famous Chewelah Horses Again Come to Colville Mrs. Fred Jetter 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. Jetter operates the Jetter hospital at Chewelah, and had a wonderful exhibit at the fail last year. The Jetter 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. Jetter 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 ful daughters Sunbeam and Moon beam lived at the top of Chewelah peak in a tepee, and their horses giazed 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 hor sister "The white chief Chewelah is coming today." Sunbeam, in her jealousy, said "Where is the white chief? I have a date with him." At that little Moonbeam blindfolded her horse and rode off the mountain, and the preat 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. Jetter wil! represent the white chief, and Miss Muriel Rhoden will represent her maid Moonbeam. An old hen came up to a young White Leghorn pullet and said, "M'dear, I 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 oft* 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 *as in terrupted by the farmer's boy com ing with a hatchet, and his mother saying, "Get that old three-year-old. She don't lay nohow." An Exponent for Stevens County $2.00 Year in Advance; 5c Copy Candidates Named by Three Parties Primary Returns Come Slowly and Tabulations Difficult to Make With a registration of about 6700 in Steven* county, the primary elec tion in the b'B precincta did not draw the full possibilities of the vote de spite the beautiful weather. Returns were very slow in coming in to the auditor's office, but by Thursday afternoon all contests were settled except that of Ham and Led gerwood for the democratic nomina tion for sheriff. The official canvass will be made next week, and next week's issue of the Examiner may be able to give the vote for each candidate. One of the most interesting ques tions in the primary campaign was whether Senator I'oindexter could hold a sufficient part of the vote of his party to make him reasonably certain of election in November. Yesterday morning, with four-fifths of the precincts in the state reported he had fallen below f>o'/< of his party vote which makes it seem improbable that he can be elected. The vote which he did not receive was largely a protest vote, and had it been cen teieil on one opponent it would have defeated I'oindexter at primary. With the democrats almost solid for Dill, and with this large republican protest vote with nowhere to go ex cept to Dill or the farmer-labor candidate Duncan, it is freely pre dicted that Poindexter will be elim inated in November, The opposition in his own party is responsible.
