July 15, 1932	Who's Who In Republic This week we take for our subject one of the old, old-timers and one of the very first merchants of the Republic camp. John Stack first saw the light of day in the city of Dubuque, iowa, May 21, 1859. In the early year of 1866 he moved with his parents to Helena, Montana, then a thriving mining town. where he attended school and worked in a grocery store. After living 11 years in Helena, with his mother they moved to the city of Butt, Montana, where his mother ran a boarding house and young John again worked in a grocery store. Ager a residence of 10 years in Butte, he moved to Cour-d'Alene when the mining boom struck that country, and where Mrs. Stack and he again ran a boarding house. Mr. Stack was married to Miss Ella Hurley in 1884 in Couer 'dAlene, and to this union two daughters were born, Mrs. Ella Wager of Spokane , and Mrs. Marie Dodson of Wenatchee, Washington. In 1887 when the Republic Camp was being started, Mr. Stack was among the first to set up his tent and start a store. There were only some 30 or 40 people in the camp at that time, but people from all over the county were coming in by all modes of travel. When the town was surveyed Mr. Stack bought the property which he now occupies. He now operates one of the largest mercantile establishments in Republic, and he and his business is known through North Central Washington. He has served as mayor of the Republic city and he and his family have long been identified with the industrial and social life of the town, where he has resided for the past 35 years.
July 29, 1932	Who's Who In Republic John Slagle hasn't always been a druggist, but first took charge of a drug store in Texas. He was born May 10, 1873 near Murphy, North Carolina and as an infant, moved with his parents to Gainsville, Georgia, where his father operated a shoe factory. from there the family moved to Athens, Georgia, and during the next three years, they again moved, this time on a farm at Franklin, N. Carolina. Here young John milked the cows, fed the hogs and attended the local school and also attended Western Carolina college, at that time under the leadership of Prof. R. I. Madison, a nephew of General Robert E. Lee. When about 25 years of age, tiring of farm life he pulled out for Texas and landed at Henriette, where he worked on a farm for about a year and then took charge of a drug store for Dr. J. H. Ferris. After four years at Henriette, he visited his old home town in N. Carolina, before coming to the state of Washington. He traveled extensively over the state of Washington doing relief work and finally in 1904, he arrived in Republic, and took charge of an estate drug store belonging to the Threlkeld Bros., which he afterwards purchased at auction sale. Soon afterwards he purchased a drug store from a competitor and combined the two. In 1909 Mr. Slagle was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Moore who had been teaching school in Republic, and to this union four children were born, three boys and one girl, the girl having died at a young age. John W. Slagle today owns the only drug store in Ferry county, housed, as it is, in one of the largest brick buildings in the town. He is doing a good business.

Dec 27, 1935	Miss Ruth Jarvis, graduate nurse, is home from Idaho, the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bart Jarvis and family. Miss Alice Moran, graduate nurse of Juneau, Alaska and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Moran of this city arrived here Tuesday to spend the holidays with home folks. Miss Alice has pent the three past years in the northern city and has made good in her profession. She was reared and schooled in Republic. Postmaster Jack Cody was the busiest man in town during the holiday rush of business at the post office. A hurried call at the window by a customer would soon see Jack crawling from under a stack of some six feed of mail sacks, with his permanent gone and his hands that would compare favorably with that of an auto mechanic, Jack says its a great life if you don't catch yourself slipping.
