Anderson i COUNTY NEWS I Steamboats will begin opera- tions April 1 on the Columbia river. Bruce Griggs of Wenat- chee, who owns an automobile line, a stage line and steamboat line, says that there will be a big awakening in the people of the Columbia valley the coming summer, and that they will ap- preciate the value of river trans- portation more than ever before. A dance was given in the new store building just completed at Cronin by Albert Loiselle and Guy Young, last Saturday eve- ning. About 120 people were present. The dance lasted until five o'clock. A few months ago a crowd of 120 was unheard of in that country, 30 or 40 being about the maximum, but that sec- tion is developing rapidly, and Cronin is coming to the front. There are now two stores, a post- office, a livery stable and a hotel. August Rick of Spokane spent last week looking over the field at Chewelah for a cement plant. There is a great deal of that kind of work done in that town, and it is probable that Mr. Rick will build a plant. Fifty thousand dollars was ap- propriated by the legislature for I iUDIML SIMONDS CROSS CUT SAWS J yl^;||HP' Are the be&. Ask the men who use them.

Capt. Fred McDermott of Kettle Falls was the leading lobbyist who worked to secure the appropriation. The Oroville Gazette and the Loomis Prospector have consoli- dated, and from now on the new paper will l> e published at Oroville, with Frank Dallam as editor, and Fred Fine as business manager. The paper has changed its style of dress and is greatly improved thereby. The Chewelah Independent certainly is a hustler. About three years ago it moved into larger quarters, built expressly for it, and now it announces that it has out- grown its floor space. The Delva block has been leased, and the In- dependent makes the mysterious remark that it will install a ma- chine, the purpose of which is a secret at present. We wonder if it can be a lino—but that is just a guess. Jack Wade, one of citizens of Bluecreek for many years and until last week marshal of the town of Chewelah, has been re- quested to accompany Col. Roose- velt to Africa on the hunting trip. A. D. Cameron of Spo- kane, a recent arrival into this country, will be the new marshal at Chewelah. The council of the town of Springdale has voted to accept the chemical fire engine ordered last fall, paying $100 in cash and the balance of $150 in town war- rants. The action of the Amer- ican-LaFrance company in thus allowing the town to pay for the engine in warrants is deeply ap- preciated by the people of that town. J. C Rigg of Chewelah will open an undertaking parlor in that town in a short time. Mr. Rigg had 15 years of experience in the east in the undertaking business before coming west,and is a graduate in the profession. F. Hewitt.owner of the Hewitt sawmill near Valley, while feeling of the saw to learn whether it was hot, had the tips of three fingers cut off, last Saturday. A large number of the mines near Chewelah will begin their spring assessment work in the near future. Many more will put on crews and begin work in earnest. Since last summer there have been many new mines lo- cated, and the camp is preparing for the biggest year in its his- tory. One of the mines near Chewelah was worked in the eai-ly '80s by Charles Montgom- ery and Jacob Stitzel. They took only the gold and silver which the mine afforded, and left the copper ore piled up on the dumps. This ore, of which there are thousands of dollars worth, will be shipped soon. The Copper King mine at Che- welah has resumed after a short shutdown in the compressor. The funeral of Charles F.Legg, took place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Congregational church in Chewelah. Rev. H. A. Luckenbauch delivered an im- pressive sermon, after which the remains were laid away in the Chewelah cemetery. Mr. Legg was born at Malcolm, lowa, April 11, 1871, where he spent the early part of his life. He was married at Newton,lowa, July 2, 1891, to Miss Grace B. Fuller. They came to Chewelah in 1903, where he has been employed as station agent until his illness forced him to resign. He was appointed as postmaster of Chewelah two years ago. Mr. Legg was a member of the firm of Legg, Acres & Co., gen- eral store, and also a member of Chewelah camp M. VV. A., in which he carries insurance. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn their loss, and in his death Chewelah loses one of its most enterprising citizens. Dr. Otto H. C. Rosenkranz of the University of Pennsylvania has located at Valley with his family,and will practice medicine in that vicinity. The body of a man of about 40 was taken from one of the sloughs near the Little Spkane river at Scotia last week Monday. Tattoo marks cover a part of the right arm, and the initials "F.C." are tattooed on the back of the left hand. There were no articles about his body which would lead to his identification. The body was lying in about 15 inches of water when found. He was ob- served several times Mondy sit- ting on a log on the bank of the slough. It is plainly a case of suicide. The manager of the Stuttz Theatrical Company, which showed in Chewelah last week, critized the town for collecting a license. Bro. Smith of the Re- corder says there were extenuat- ing circumstances, that Stuttz had just come from Colville, and had hoped to replenish his cof- fers (which, supposedly, were emptied while showing here) by drawing large crowds from the country surrounding Chewelah, but because the roads were bad, he lost out there also. Guess again, Bro. Smith, Stuttz did not show in this town. A marriage license was granted in Spokane this week to John Koch and Helen Boylan, both of Newport. Fred Fish of Echo valley sold his improved farm of 160 acres to B. N. Fowler of Penrith last week for $4000. Miss Fannie Norbee of Meyers Falls died at the home of Mrs. Martha Gardner last Saturday evening. She had lived in Mey- ers Falls about six years and leaves two brothers, John and Mack. The deceased was 42 years of age. She came to Mey- ers Falls from Weatherford, Texas. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the Con- gregational church and burial was in the Meyers Falls cemetery. Sparks brothers, who are the platters of Plantations, between Meyers Falls and Kettle Falls, have closed the deal whereby they secure the right to construct a reservoir on their tracts. Josef Lhevinne, the famous Russian pianist, who is attaining success which almost • parallels Paderewski's, will be at the Spo- kane theater Friday, March 19. Fred Overmeyer and William Barton of Hunters have begun operations for the summer by es- tablishing a live stock and dress- ed meat company, with head- quarters in their home town. Later in the season they will put in a cold storage and packing plant, which will add another in- dustry to the rapidly growing business of that enterprising sec- tion. There is just now a general de- mand for changing the date of the presidential inaugurations. Senators and congressmen be- lieve in striking while the iron is hot. Col. Roosevelt will sail for Africa March 23. The Lurid Glow of Doon i was seen in the red face, hands and body of the little son of H. M. Adams of Henrietta, Pa. His awful plight from eczema had for five years defied all remedies and baffled the best doctors, who said the poisoned blood had affected his lungs and nothing could save him. "But," writes his mother, "seven bottles of Electric Bitters completely cured him." For eruptions, eczema, salt rheum, sores and all blood disorders and rheumatism Elec- tric Bitters is supreme. Only 50c. Guaranteed by Frank B. Goetter. The State Anthem Redgin.a] De Koven, composer of "Robin Hood" and other light operas, and Prof. Edmond S. Meany, head of the department of history in the University of Washington, were t-ignaily hon- ored by both houses of the state legislature in regular session at Olympia, when, by joint resolu- tion, "Washington Beloved" was declared the state anthem. Mr. DeKoven's music for Prof. Meany's verses is dignified and distinctive. The words follow: "WASHINGTON BELOVED" Thy name, oh Washington renown'd. We hailfromfar and near. Thyglories joyfullyresound In song of praise and mighty cheer. Thy fame, oh Washington serene, Leads up unto the sky. While we thro' ev'ry changing scene. Thy purple pennants lift on high. Thy deeds, oh Washington benign. Will last as hills of stone. While we like ore the firs refine. Will ring forth praise to thee alon B . Thy sons, oh Washington belov'd, Lift up their heads in pride, By whatsoever sea remov'd. To thee, in love, their lives are tied. Near Death in Big Pond It was a thrilling experience to Mrs. Ida Soper to face death. "For years a severe lung trouble gave me intense suffering," she writes, "and several times near- ly caused my death. AH reme- dies failed and doctors said I was incurable. Then Dr. King's New Discovery brought quick relief and a cure so permanent that I have not been troubled in 12 years." Mrs. Soper lives in Big Pond, Pa. It works wonders in coughs and colds, sore lungs, hemorrhages, la grippe, asthma, croup, whooping cough and all bronchial affections. 50c and $1. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by Frank B. Goetter.
