6 The Colville Examiner, Saturday, April 16, 1910 ATTORNEY J. P. JUDSON PASSES AWAY John Paul Judson, who for 43 years has practiced law in this state, died at his home April 12, at the age of 70 years. He was the oldest continuously practicing attorney in the state, and until a few weeks ago was at his office daily to attend his work. His death was the result of a general breakdown.

Judson was born in Cologne, German Empire, and came to Washington territory in 1853, crossing the plains in a prairie schooner, and settling where the city of Tacoma now stands. Through his own efforts prepared himself for the practice of law, and in 1867, on the day he was pronounced a lawyer, he entered partnership with C. B. McFadden, under whom he had been reading. This partnership lasted until the death of McFedden.

Judson held the positions of territoral librarian, chief clerk of the house of representatives, and in 1876 was democratic candidate for territoral delegate to congress, being defeated by Judge Orange Jacobs by 73 votes. He was corporation counsel in Spokane for four years, during the administration of Dr. Byrne, and had previously held the same position in Tacoma. In politics he was identified with the democratic party. In the practice of his profession he was well known throughout the state, and held the highest reputation both for character and ability.

He seldom asked favors for himself or for his clients, but ever demanded their rights. A quiet, unobstruive gentleman whose modesty made for him more friends than even he was aware of, he was held in high regard in his profession and by the citizens. For several years he has been president of the Stevens County Bar Association. Deceased leaves one brother, Stephen Judson of Steilcoom; a son, Adrian P. Judson of McKenna; and four daughters, Mrs.

Eunice Dailey of McKenna, Mrs. Annie J. Koe bler of Bellingham, Mrs. J. A.

Johnson of Spokane, Sister Mary Eunice of Ward. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The pallbearers were selected from the bar association: W. H. Jackson, H.

G. Kirkpatrick, John B. Slater, R. A. Thayer, F.

Leo Grinstead, S. Douglas. Burial was at the Catholic cemetery. The floral tributes were numerous. Deceased was a member of the Spokane lodge of Elks, which sent a beautiful piece.

The bar association sent a gorgeous garland of lilies and roses. Thursday morning Judge E.H. Suilivan convened court, and the following resolutions were adopted by the bar association: Jefferson Banquet The Jefferson day banquet of the Stevens county democrats was held at the Hotel Colville Wednesday evening, and attended by representatives of the party from different parts of the county. Two long tables were set the length of the room, and the spread which was set before the democracy was a credit to the reputation of the house. Decorations were of cut flowers and potted plants.

The victrola furnished music during the banquet. County Commissioner S. S. Beggs, who is congressional committeeman for Stevens county, acted as toastmaster. Addresses were made by H.D.

Merritt, Albert Kulzer and R. F. Collins of Spokane, and short talks were heard from J. A. Rochford, John G.

Kulzer, L. B. Harvey, Mayor W.L. Sax, John B. Slater, E.

D. Improvements The postoffice department is making efforts to improve the R. F. D. lines of the country, and is sending letters to postmasters asking cooperation along the lines suggested.

Postmaster P. R. Parks is in receipt of orders to report upon the condition of roads on which free deliverys are operated, and if conditions are not kept up to the standard on these roads, the department announces that the mail lines will be discontinued. One letter says: "It is the desire of the department that you earnestly request patrons of rural delivery out of your office to paint their boxes and the posts to which they are attached a pure white color. This course, if pursued, will not only result in benefit to the patron in serving to protect his box and post from damage by the weather, but will give all boxes a uniform color and serve to fix their identity in all parts of the country as United States mail boxes, and will give them a much neater and sightlier appearance than they now possess.

It is also desired that patrons be induced to imprint their names and box numbers on boxes in black block letters about five inches high. It is also desired that you endeavor to induce road officials to paint upon the posts of boxes which are located at crossroads (but not attach signs thereto) the names of the towns or villages to which the crossroads lead, with an indicator showing the direction. Posts to which boxes should be attached shall be set in an easily accessible position at the side of the road and boxes securely fastened to a projecting arm of wood." 0. F.

SLATER, Committee on resolutions. Baseball The Colville baseball team played the opening game with Kettle Falls last Sunday. With Wright in the box and Thomas behind the bat, there was nothing to it. Wright found it unnecessary to use his newly discovered spit ball to defeat the sand town boys, so tossed them in his old manner. The game resulted in a score of 10 to 1 for Colville.

Local baseball authorities say that with "John" to do the boosting and Stannus to hold the boys in line, Colville will have a winning team this season. Kettle Falls AB. R. H. PO.
