JAMES SPENCE 
	James Spence was born July 29,1875,in Alamakee county,Iowa,son 
of J.P.and Mary A. (Welsh) Spence,natives of Illinois and Ohio,respectively.
   Mr.Spence received his education in a country school in Spokane county
and at the early age of seventeen started for himself. In 1896 he came to
Stevens county,but for four years previous to this he had been doing business 
on his own responsibility. After arriving in Stevens county Mr.Spence not
only labored with his father,but has done considerable timber and lumber
work for himself. He is a young man of promise and stands well in the 
community. It is very pleasant to see stalwart young Americans,like the sub-
ject of this article,rising to take the places of thosr worthy pioneers who
are all to fast disappearing in the Colville valley.
