The heaviest loans and the greatest
burden of mortgage debt in Washington
as elsewhere in the cities among the ow-
ners of large buildings and good deal
of property These men have borrowed
to improve or they owe part of their pur-
chase money. This is just what the
farmer has done, only he has borrowed
hundreds where the other man has Dor
rowed thousands. 1t is safe TO assert
that the farming classes are really the
most prosperous class in the community.
Let those who doubt investigate and
they will very shortly be convinced that
this statement is correct.

The PaIouse Valley Agricultural Asso-
citation is the name of a syndicate which
was organized this week for purpose of
building a race track and fair grounds.
The association is backed by fifteen of
the wealthiest men of the city, all of
whom are willing OF spend plenty Of
money to get tirst-class track, says
the Palouse News. They have already
fenced in a section of school land on
Dufeld flats including the old half mile
track. Twenty-one teams and small
army of men are at work making mile
track under the supervision of the veter-
an turfman H. 0. Waters. A good
grand stand and stables are to be built,
a swlendid ball field laid out, trees plant
ed and the whole section enclosed by a
high board fence. No effort will be
spared to make the track as fast as any
in the state W. L. Farnsworth is pres
ident and Al Swarts secretary of the as
sociation. The project starts under
very favorable auspices and with such a
strong backing that it will undoubtedly
prove successful. 1t marks another
long stride in the progress Of PaIouse
City.

Work was begun on Tuesday on the
wells above the city on Spring Flat. A
large amount of water is believed to be
obtainable there, enough, indeed, to sup
ply the city. A large reservoir well will
be blasted out capable of holding much
water. Then the supply will be tested
by pumping till 1t is ascerSalned how
much water can be depended on there.
If a suficiency is found, it will be
brought from there to the city in pipes.
There are many advantages connected
with bringing the city supply from the
Spring Flat wells, and it is hoped the
present attempt will be successful

W. H. Mastin's mill was broken into
by robbers last Monday night. The
robbers gained entrance through a hole
in the floor and ransacked the desk,
pigeon-holes and every available article
in the office. Tools and instruments
were also examined, some of which were
confscated. The mill hands and Mr..
Mastiu had a number of articles of
clothing in the mill and these the rob
bers appropriated, leaving their own
ragged garments in exchange. The
clothes left were identified as belonging
to some of the circus employees who were
in town Monday. In leaving, the gang
bursted a window in the basement and
tried to do as much damage as their
neIve would permit without arousing
an organized pursuit and capture. Ga

the X. of P. excursion pulled out for
Ceur d. Alene at 7: 80 with about $50

handsomely decorated outside with red,

City, steamer was chartered and all
the points of interest were visited. Re
turning, the garrison was visited and
found to be magnificent place. The

senting the land promise to have it per.
fected in a few days. There were a
dozen or more plans submitted for in
spection, but only one met the approval
of the board, and it is likely it will be
accepted at the next meeting, Monday
evening. The one favorably considered
will embrace a six-room, two story brick
building, to cost $4,000 The arrange
ments will be modern, and when com
pleted will be the finest school building

Less than year ago the Bank of
Garfield was incorporated as a stock
company, with a capital of $4,000.
Sixty per cent. of this amount was or
dered paid, by the trustees. A call
meeting was held yesterday, at which
the board of trustees was pleased to find
that the business would require the other
40 per cent. of stock, which was called
in. The institution is surprising even
its warmest friends.

I'VE had met by accident about six

who had been writing gratuitously for

on hand are here on sale and rather than to
