OVER THREE MILLIONS
COdd's Log Drive Safely Landed
in the Boom,
Rear End Came in During the
Early Hours of Saturday
Milling Season Opens.

The rear of Codd's log drive for his
Colfax sawmill was landed in boom dur
ing Friday night and Saturday morn
ing. 1t contained about 100000 feet,
while about 100000 feet we're left in
the woods of the upper Palouse river
because of lack OF snow and good roads.
The water stage was fair all the way
down, and the 80 men employed had
rather an easy time, as logging goes in
the snow water rushing from the noun
tain peaks across the plains below.
MIR. Colds mill, with it's lumber, plan
ing and sash and door outfit, is one of
the important industries of the city, en-
ploying during the months while logs
are in boom from 35 to so men. The
season with them is just opening.
COlfax is the most western sawmill
point on the Palouse river, or, for that
matter, in all that country between the
Occur d'Alene and Cascade mountains.
There is large demand for the lumber
Hoated so far down the Palouse, and the
mill and the town profit largely by it.

BIZ THROUGH IN MAY
President Will Pass COlfaX On
His Western Tour.
1t il Feared. However, That His
Arrival Here Will Be Far
in the Night.

While the tour of President Mckinley
and his cabinet through the west has
not been definitely arranged, 1T rs now
almost certain that the presidential
party will pass through Colfax from
Walla Walla to Spokane. At Just what
hour or the exact date cannot now be
said, but it is probable that it will be
Saturday, May 25. 1t is feared, how
ever, that his train will pass here in the
night at 80 late an hour that the people
will be unable to see him. The only
hope, if the schedule which it is now
thought will prevail, is that a few min
utes at least must be taken for water,
and the president might be prevailed up
on to appear.
1t is announced that the chief execu-
tive Of the nation does not desire the
people to organize receptions for him,
nor does he want to make the long tour
a continual speechmaking. His desire
ia to see the country and take drives
about such places as he may be able to
stop over at. 1t will be impossible for
the president to shake hands with the
millions of admirers he will meet, and
must not be expected to attempt it.
III unable to stop at PalOuse country
towns because of time and darkness, the
people will be bitterly disappointed, but
it now seems certain that the entire day
OF Sunday, May 26, will be spent al
Spokane. If so, an opportunity will be
afforded many to see and greet a presi
dent for the first time.

Small BOYS Stealing.

Owners of traction and stationary en-
gines, separatOrs and like machinery
have been systematically robbed during
the winter, while their machinery has
been in store. Among the losers are j
S. Adams, from whom about $50 worth
OF brass fixtures have been stolen.
Everything in brass which was detach-
able has been taken from his threshing
outfit. He has detected the culprits,
small BOYS whose names he will not give
for publication, and also knows to whom
they sold the plumber. Aaron Kuhn
and Frank Brickner are also sufferers
from the youthful depredations, and
they threaten punishment if the practice
is not stopped.

CLERKS DEPUTY DISCHARGED.
The Only County Office That Ever
Earned Its Cost

Through the economy, or whatever
one might call it, of the democratic com
missioners, County Clerk Renfrew was
obliged to dispense April l with the ser
vices of his probate clerk, Geo. M. Carey.
The commissioners refused to allow the
clerk but one deputy. The history of
the Office is that, even in the days of
populistic econOmy-when business was
less than now-two deputies and occa-
sional extras were freely paid for The
clerks Office is the only one which has
ever paid its way out of collected fees;
but it is among the first to be political
ly sat down upon.
With two deputies and the principal
in the Office during the month of March,
the fees collected for work performed for
litigants amounted to $345 20. For
criminal work the office receives nothing
The salaries of the clerk and two depu-
ties reached only $3.50. While every
month does not show $50 to the clear
in the clerks Office, the average receipts
and salaries paid have been, during Mr.
Renfrew's administration of the office,
some gain to the county. In cutting off
the probate clerk, it is hoped the COM
missiOners did not have in view the saw
ing OF salary in a paying republican
office, that it might be applied to the
expense of one or two reproductive
democratic offices without the people
taking cOgniZance.

injured. The apricot is the tenderest of
