SAWS ARE SINGING
Cutting 10000 Feet of Lumber
Daily At COdd's Mill.
Valuable improvements Have Been
Made IN the Equipment and
All Runs Smoothly.

VIM. Colds mammoth sawmill is run
ming on full time and cutting about 40
600 feet of frst-class lumber daily
Twenty five men are employed, and
this number will be doubled as soon as
sufficient stock is accumulated in the
yards to justify starting the planning
mill and big sash and door and box
factories The yard was cleared before
the big drive of 4 100000 feet could be
gotten in the boom and the saws start
ed. The lumber demand is good, and
builders are hauling it by the wagon
loads fresh from the saw, so unwilling
are they to wait. The first few days
run of the mill was largely upon ad-
vance orders, and little Roadway was
made toward stocking up the yard.
Over $4,000 worth of improvements
were put in the mill before the opening
of the saving season. While it was the
leading and best equipped plant of it's
kind in Eastern Washington before, it is
now easily so. The new improvements
include a splendid and up-to date log
hoist, new edger and a set of continu-
Gus rolls for bearing away the sawed
timbers and slabs. Every thing works to
perfection, and the new equipment keeps
the employees on the Jump.
This is the leading industrial enter,
prise of Colfax, furnishing, as it does
well paid employment to large number
OF men, and it is being constantly i'm
proved in capacity and the character Of
it's products.

Church Debt Cancelled

The Woman's Guild of Good Samari

dollar OF Indebtedness against the hand
some building, after five years of strug-

were received. The ladies of the guild

Probably Not Stop,

The itinerary of President Mckinley
and his official family on their trip west
IN May has been fully arranged. The
president will stop at Walla Walla May
rs, leaving there in the evening, pre-
sumably over the O. r. & N. road, and
arrive at Spokane about midnight.
Should the route be by way of Colfax,
the distinguished party would not reach
here before 9 O'Clock at night, and
there can hardly be hope that a stop
would be made. Mayor Lippitt is in re-
ceipt of of a cordial invitation from

TRIBUTE WE'LL DESERVED.
Good Words for the EpiscOpaIiaI
Easter Day Services,

Easter Day Services.
The Moscow Star pays the following
splendid tribute to the Episcopalian
Easter services and members of the
Good Samaritan church:
1.-The Pilgrimage of Moscow Command
cry No. 3, Knights TempIar, to Colfax
on Easter Sunday, was not only a day
of mark to the city in Whitman, but an
epoch in Templarism that will long be
remembered. A fine representation of
Templars we're in attendance. The citi-
zens of ColfaX and Guild of the Episco-
pal church, have had the pilgrimage
under consideration for three weeks.
The church was a marvel of beauty in
decoration, and the ladies and pastor
had drawn from southern California for
decorative material, among which were
two hundred of the largest cellas
Special Easter music had been secured
from New York City for the occasion,
and many Knights who are judges of
music very much doubt if the renditions
have ever been equalled in the northwest
Miss Dumdi, the choir soprano, gives
promise OF rivaling any intermountain
talent we now possess. Rev. Daughters
address displayed deep thought and fine
talent. The Masonic fraternity at the
lodge rooms were prOfuse in display OF
refreshments and every attention to the
wants of the visitors, while the citizens
threw open their doors in entertainment,
luncheons and dinners. Moscow Knights
have cause to remember the hospitality
of COlfax"
