formed that railroads enter Colfax from
three directions" thus giving that place
great transportation facilities. The truth
OF the matter is, Colfax is not one-half so
much of a railroad center" as either
Garfield or Pullman. In fact, Colfax
would jump at the chance to trade her
present transportation facilities with any
place on the S. & P. Colfax has one line,
the o. r. & n, with which the town has
ralI communication with Pennington,
Garfield, Pullman and Moscow. Palouse
City has also one line, the S. & p, a
branch of the Northern Pacific, giving
her rail communication with Rosalia,
Oaksdale, Garfield, Pullman, Cotton,
Uniontown and Genessee. We have only
mentioned such places as are large
enough to support a newspaper, but it
is evident that Colfax is no longer the
"hub"-except on paper. Every day
there are car loads of lumber, wood, sand,
ice, saw-dust, sash, doors, brick, etc,
being shipped to the different towns
along the S. & P, while it is notorious
fact that not one of the towns enume-
rated ever think of shipping a single
manufactured article or pound of raw
material from Colfax, Why, Colfax, you
make us tired in your great efforts to
convince people that you are the supply
point to more than ten miles square, and
that such busy places as are located on
the S. & P. are not worthy the travellers

cuses will be with us at Pullman Wed

And now that the huge pictorials descrip-
tive of the many wonders to be seen in
the immense tents adorn the bulletin
boards and dead walls, and the small bills
are scattered around and about like
snow flakes, quite an interest is being
awakened, especially as it is the only
show that will visit the Palouse Valley
this season. The concern travels on its
own cars; is now on the way east via the
n. P. railroad on a journey to Europe.
Hearing Of the wonderful productiveness
of the Valley it has arranged to have its
train pulled this way. The fame of the
above establishment is not confined to
our own country alone, but extends to
the most remote metropolitan cities of
the globe An American being asked on
his return from abroad, "What was the
best thing you witnessed in the old
world?" answered, "Farini's circus in
St. Petersburg"
An exchange puts it thusly: eff
you are a farmer, curse the town where
you live as the meanest town on earth;
talk this to your neighbors; make them
believe the business men are all robbers
and thieves. 1t will make your property
more valuable when you have killed the
town. If you are a merchant don't ad-
vertise in home papers, but buy rubber
stamp and use that; it may make you
r. NJ bO
advertise prosper, and make the local
paper look as if it was published in a
one-horse town." And the HERALD
would be tickled to add to the above that
Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago,
are heavy property owners in Pullman
and help to pay our taxes and "carry "
our farmers till the "crap" is harvested
and sold, and NJ W. & Co. should be
patronized, protected, defended, coddled,
trotted on our knees and slObbered on,
even if it brings about the emptying of
dozen business houses in our town.
The return entertainment of the
Wade-Leroyle company at the opera
house last Saturday evening, for the
benefit of the Pullman band, was greeted
with a good audience, although the
crowd was not as large as it should have
been. For a show comprising two peo-
pie only, this combination cannot be
excelled. Miss Wade is a wonderfully
versatile performer, pleasant singer,
and has good stage figure, and her
costume changes were exceptionally well
executed Leroyle as Mud" the
busted Snowman, in the closing piece,
brought down the house, not only by
his remarkable makeup" but by his
amusing travesty upon tragedlans IN
general. We understand the band
cleared very little, if anything from the
entertainment.
Capt. Phillips is rapidly finishing up
his new store in the HERALD block, and
it will be dandy when completed. The
plate glass front, with its borders of va
rious colored squares, presents a very
neat appearance, and is the only one of
the kind in town. He is now receiving
large stock of furniture, caskets, ETC.,
and will soon have it all on display. In
fact, when fully finished the HERALD
