The Cotton Mill Flooded

The heavy rain last Monday
night raised the branch that flows
just, South of the cotton mill so
high that the water ran over the
embankment of the narrow Gauge
side track, causing it to give way
and large gap to wash through
it. The lower railroad embank-
ment, being older, did not give
way but held the water back caus-
ing it to flood the boiler rooms,
engine room and the entire first
floor of the cotton mill. The
water stood eight feet high on the
boilers, putting out the fire, of
course, and bringing all the ma
chinery to a standstill. In the
engine room the water melted the
cement that held the belts togeth-
er, and the water stood to within
a few inches of the cloth on al
the looms on the first Hoor of the
mill. The reservoir was filled
with dirt from the embankment
which gave way. 1t was thought
they would resume work yester-
day afternoon.

How Spokane Appreciates

The excursion of Spokane business
men to Colfax Thursday to attend the
Whitman county fair was a success, says
New West Trade. 1t was conducted by
the chamber of commerce and a large
number of Spokane's enterprieing Job
bers, wholesalers and business men took
advantage Of the opportunity to ex-
press their feelings of good will and fell
lowship for the people of Whitman
county, and to aid in the success of their
fair. Spokane is linked to Whitman
county by every tie that binds a city to
it's natural tributary territory. Their
interests are in a large measure identi-
cal; here are associations which should
and must continue throughout the years
to come, and it is to be hoped that the
commercial relations between Spokane
and Whitman county will be materially
strengthened and extended as result of
this friendly commingling and exchange
OF greetings between the representative
business men of the two sections.

FREE RURAL MAILS
Three Routes Out of COIfax
We're Started Tuesday.
But the Regulation Boxes Have
Not Arrived, and Some
Trouble Resulted.

People on 6S miles of rural roads are
now in touch with the daily mails. Three
tree rural delivery routes were put in &C
tive operation Tuesday. The only
drawback is that the regulation boxes
even those already subscribed for--have
not yet arrived, and as a consequence
some OF the mails taken over the lines
on the first day we're returned to the
postOtfice, the carriers being unable to
deliver 1T. However, where houses were
on or near The road, delivery was gen
orally made. All the carriers we're in on
the return trip by 2 p. M, and two OF
them arrived shortly after noon. The
other started late. Two routes are
each % miles long and the other "a.
All the earlier morning mails arriving
at Colfax postottice are carried out on
these routes the same day.
The system is generally hailed with
delight by the people along the routes,
and for a starter Postmaster Ewart and
the carriers have matters in good shape.
1t is expected that as soon as the farmer
gets wheat off the brain and the long
leisure evenings for reading come on
that the people will more than ever ap-
preciate this little service of their Uncle
Sam.
1t should be remembered that with
the establishment of the free rural de-
livery system the 1-cent drop-letter sys-
TEN is abolished. Hereafter, all letters.
IN town or out, must carry the regular
2 cent postage.

ments cannot reach the disease. An old

when faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures CATARRH,

charges, and curing all inflammation. 1t

A DEMOCRATIC JOKE.
Cruel Tilt At Our Wide Awake

came up here the first of the week to es-

Holt had taken there for his breakfast.
The prisoner was in the next room eat

prietor of the shooting gallery, who
wore a striped sweater. He was taking
his morning meal with Mr.. Henry, who
