The Coal Trade

The Coal Trade Journal says editOrially
on the the condition of the soft coal trade:
we look for no great advance or change
in prices during the year but we anticipate
that there will be more steady employment
for all concerned. and the net result there
of cannot but be of great good to the com
munity.
That there is none too much of a stock
of soft coal carried 10y the average dealer
in the Western states is evidenced by the
demand for supply which set in on the ad-
vent of colder weather in tine past week.
Orders for increased shipments and deliv-
cries of fuel for the steam trade were
steadily increased during the latter part of
the week, and in numerous instances.
Consumers discovered that their bins were
empty. Outside points are waking uD and
calling for fuel in a hurry. All interests
hope for at least few weeks of zero
weather which is needed by others than

REDUCING ruE INTEREST.

On Saturday the vos--s - the city viii
be asked 70 autrarize the funding OF
the floating indsote4ness OF the school
district The falling OF "a the payment
az taxes last year made a very serious
inroad upon the available funds. and the
alternative was presented Of issuing war
rants or closing the schools. The law
requires the school board 10 make an
estimate every year OF the amount that
viii re required 70 defrsy the expenses
or the ensuing year. and upon that es-
innate the tax levy f. made. II. there
fore. the taxes fail of. as they did last
year 10 the extent Of nearly - per cent,
IT Is easily seen that there must be n de-
fciency IN the income of the schools.
The result was that warrants were is
sued These bear per cent. interest.
and IL is proposed 20 fund them by the
issue OF bonds bearing s or 6 per cent.
interest. aaa SO save annually about
sl2eo0
Il would be better TO pay or these war
rants from the proceeds Of the taxes. OF
course. but there Is no immediate pros
pect OF all the arrears being paid in. and
few taxpayers would be in favor OF In
ercasing the tax levy next year sufii-
GENTLY to make up the deficiency. That
would mean that. In order to make good
the amount due by those who have not
paid. those who have paid and would
pay should pay more.
The school district has assets in build
ings and lands sufficient TO Offset the en-
tire endebtedness--funded and unfund-
ed. and as the law makes II a punishable
ofense to incur hereafter any liability
10 meet which there are not funds IN
sight. there is little fear OF any further
floating Indebtedness.
There was some criticism OF the old
board. which was accused OF aiming al
too high a degree OF perfection for
city OF this size. II had been started IN
boom times, and the board no doubt
did become inflated as some other civic
Institutions and some private assocla-
lions did. The consequence was a too
rapid pace. necessltatiag an outlay great
er than the subsequent diminishing In
come could bear. The present board has
done very much 20 retrieve that error.
and a policy OF economy has been es-
tablished which viii no doubt be main
tanned
The funding OF the warrants Is a feat
ure Of that good business policy.

BUu.T IN ONE DAY.
The Colfax Opera House sprang Up as
If by Magic.

Colfax Letter iii Spokane Spokesman.
For some months past the people OF Col
fax have heard wild rumors of the in
teuti0n OF the band 10 erect an opera
house some time in he near future. hut
no three persons outside Of that orEani-
zation suspected until yesterday morning
that there had been any. definite shape to
their many plans. bat now the institu-
tion il an astonishing reality and enc OF
which the city VIII he proud for many
years 10 come. On Wednesday night
there seemed TO be something wrong with
the electric light plant. and the streets
were in total darkness. Inquiries were
answered with the Intelligence that the
engine was out OF order and the plant
could not be operated The people were
satisfied with this reply and but little
comment was made. Now. it seems to
have been part OF a plot on the part Of
the band 70 hide their scheme. Street
louugers had noticed for several days the
beginning and progress upon the work OF
putting tn the foundation OF the new
building on the Codd and Stravens lots
north Of the First National hank, and in
the last few days immense piles of brick
and lime had been hauled to the street
in front of the place but IL caused little
suspicion.
Soon after - got thoroughly dark
"Wednesday night a force Of about sew
cnty-nVe men were brought IN from Spo-
kane on a freight train and unloading
near the Main street bridge. armed with
hods and trowcls marched 20 The place
ana silently began the work OF laying the
brick upon the new building As that
side Of the street was distracted and the
night dark one. no ore passed near the
building and the ruse was not discovered.
Stealthlly the men passed UP and down
md along the walls and rapidly they
spranE upward through the night By
daylight the outside walls were finished.
ana before any one was astir or the
streets yesterday morning the sraffolding
was taken down. and there stood in mag
nIaceut elegance the pToudest opera house
iu the Northwest.
Men. women and children thronEed
down the street dumb with astonshmeut
sud aduira ton. r. seemed that nothing
short OF magic could have erected such
structp without causing suspicion Of
what was going on.
Jest before daylight the maso0s fin
