must have lived II months and 10 days in the
state, 20 days In the county. and 10 days in the

The News is now well along il, its
third year of existence, and during all
the time has labored INCREASINGLY for
interests OF Ritzville and Adams coun-
ty in general. Whether our labors
have been appreciated or not is for the
general public to ascel tain. We have
trust and hope in this section OF the
great Inland Empire; its benefits will
some day be more wonderful than at
present, and its prosperous harvest
will be reaped by those who have had
the forsitude to remain with her when
dire disaster AMI pure poverty faced
many family in their humble abode
THE NEWS was established upon simply
business principles over two years
ago. Its promoter, the late J. A,
Thompson, had no "ax to grind" bus
commenced the publishing of the
paper amid what was then supposed
were the hest wishes of the commun-
ity. The business men, to whom we
more or less rely upon for our support
have patronized our paper literally
for which we are grateful. The course
of any news paper will not, and can
not, be fully approved by all; that is
one OF the impossibilities OF the pro-
fession. We trust however that no
grievance of lasting personal nature
has found resting place in the minds
of our local business men. We have
tried our utmost to advance the cause
of our merchant, honestly believing
that the money earned in our COM
munity should be spent with our local
business houses where a return COM
pensation is sure to be received. We
are opposed to the purchase OF goods
and wares from outside cities, from
which we can never expect any help
in the way advancement. We hope
that our labors in this respect have
been appreciated by our merchants.
1t is impossible for paper published
in country town to exist unless it
secures the patronage OF its people,
and trusting that our visits will not
be futile we will still continue to hope
for the best, and, while the Hon. Will
liam Smithers is figuring on going to
congress and many of our friends are
getting rich we are figuring to keep
the sheriff from selling the News plant
and clipping its wings close up to its
young body.

DRINK AND BE MERRY.


"A'ong about this season of the year
when the weather gets hotter than
a fiddler a; a coon dance, friend will
tell You what not to drink. He will
tell you to avoid ice water rs you
would the sheriff looking for jury
man, in the justice court, on circus
day. And yet everyone drinks soda
water and sparkling sarsparilla Sc
cold that it frosts their tongue" says
one Of our Redheadcd Exchanges.
Yes, and there are those who drink
warm tea, and yes even whisky, in
the expressed faith at least, that the
reaction will be cooling. But, then,
we all have ready excuse for any
thing we do. We have known mem tc
get drunken than boiled owl seven
times week, because they had troubles
at home. 1t never occurred to them
that it was the real, ardent love of the
taste of the stuff, that made them
drink. Indeed, they would not tell
you that they despised even the smell
of the vile stuff. Probably that is the
reason they drank it. They didn't
want so much of it around where they
could smell it. But this is no tenn
perance lecture. Men will drink
whisky until Gabriel performs his
solo. They are born that way.
1t is our unscientific, but, never.
theless, positive opinion, that people
do not drink enough. By this we dc
not desire to be understood to stand
as the disciple OF that cult that be-
lieves that man can guzzle beer like
the intake of the city reservoir, There
are too many men looking around
for hot springs to cure up case Of
kidney disease, to make sach pro.
position logical. But the drinking Of
water plentifully and the milk drinks
within reason, is, in our opinion,
essential to good health.
Have you ever noticed what they dc
to men who seek hot springs for re-
lief? They make them drink tanks
of water; they soak them in water.
1t is supposed to contain medicinal
qualities; yet, if the pateient were te
drink as much at home, OF pure water
the results would be the same. Yes
water it good thing, especially when
you can get it fresh and sparkling
right from the mountains. Beer OIL
a hot day, is good, too, providing he
can do away with the idea that hi
must drink it up like fire engine a,
the tank of tn, only well in the
block. And yet we are advised never
to drink when we are heated: never
to drink when we are thinking, and
finally, never to drink when we are
thirsty. Away with such doctrines
Let us drink and be merry. Not too
merry; but just merry enough to look
at life pleasantly and to see something
besides the seams and rough edges
Let us not drink those things which
will deaden or delude our brain, TO-
there is pleasure alone in the act, ever
ii the beverage is simply water--bu
let it be cool.

There is not vacant building in
Ritzville. The town has reached the
stage OF prosperity where all Of the
houses are occupied, and there is de-
mand for more six TO eight room cot
tages. A number OF such buildings
would find good tenants at once and
an opportunity is offered some OF the
owners OF lots to make substantial i'm
provements that will bring them in a
good interest ON the investment.
There will be no danger OF property
remaining unoccupied, as the growth
OF the town is permanent and has
none OF the boom features that so often
collapse and leave the town in worse
condition than before the boom struck.
The demand Tor these is largely due
to the increased activity and popula-
ton on account of the large influx OF
people who are an industrious class of
citizens who come to earn an honest
living aud there will be many more Of
them come within the next year.
Under these circumstances the de-
mand for new homes should he met
by those who can afford to build. The
opportunity is open to men with
money, and before the summer is over
we hope to hear more music Of saw
and hammer from all parts OF the
town. While it is true that more
building is going on here than in any
other town Gifts size on the Pacific
slope and that our population will be
1000 or M ore within very short time
yet new arrivals with families must
have place to live in or, pass us by.
