Straw the Roads.

Next Tuesday, Sept. 9TH, is the
much advertised "Straw Day." All
warehouses and business houses will
be closed, and everyone lie invited out
on the roads. Your attention is called
to the necessity Of doing this work
thoroughly. Farmers will haul their
heavy loads from two to five miles
farther over smooth roads than poor
ones. A few successive years Of ade-
quate strawing places the roads in fine
condition. the straw mixing with the
soil forms hard pan that will not cut
up in the usual way. The fact that
the citizens are making an effort to
attract trade will advertise them ss a
class and help Ritzville more than
any other one thing.
Get out and hustlel There will be
teams and wagons for all. Arrage-
ments have been perfected with the
foremen on the various roads for a
general distribution of men. Let
enough OF enthusiasm be stirred in
the heart Of each citizen that the first
straw day will lie enough of success
to presage future ones, and that each
succeeding year will strengthen the
tradition, OF which, in time, it may be
written -
Maud Muller. In the good old way,
Welded her rake on Straw Day.
She was trawing the road over the hill.
For her Red Devil" automobile.
She thought Of the time when the road,

Full Of deep holes and dusty enough

known, but the high wind which pre-
vailed at the time caused the rapid
spread Of the flames. Estimated loss
will not be less than 100000. The
Bridgeport lumber yard was entirely
destroyed. Many OF the business
houses, including grocery stores, drug

An indolent sort OF individual lay
down one day in the early fall under
the branches OF tree laden with ripe
plums. He soon fell asleep aud his
mouth flew open. In little while
ripe plum fell from the tree and fell
plumb between his jaws. Itawskensd
him, and finding the luscious fruit in
his mouth, he concluded that he had
discovered an easy way to get living.
The next day be came again, lay down
on his back under the tree and opened
his mouth. In few minutes, in
stead OF ripe plum, large, juicy
worm fell into his mouth. As he spat
it out with disgust, he exclaimed -
"There are exceptions, Of course; but
as a general rule man would better
keep his mouth shut"

Peace Declared.

The dove OF peace has settled npon
two great warning belligerents, Russia
and Japan, the peace conference at
Portsmouthg agreeing Tuesday, Aug.
70, 1905. Preliminary arrangements
for an armistice have been concluded
and the work Of framing the treaty
begun. This sudden and happy end.
ing was due to the magnanimity OF
Japan in yielding the indemnity and
everything else at issue. People OF
the whole civilized world rejoices At
the termin alton of this greatest war
OF modern times.
Both sides. once the deadlock was
broken, wanted "a just and lasting
peace" and in that respect it was de-
cidsd to practically neutralize Sax.
halin each country binding itself not
to fortify its half OF the island, and
Japan assuming an obligation not to
fortify La Perouse strait, between
Sakhalin and Hokkaido, which would
bar Russis's com merciel route to the
Pacific.
The pie nipotentiaries went further.
They decided to add q new clause 10
the nature.of broad provision for mu.
tual commercial privileges, by.,which
each country will secure for the other
the benefit Of, the "most favored ma.
ton" clause and "the open door,"
The new treaty, therefore, will be q
wonderfully. friendly document, Of q
character almost to raise the suspi.
cion that the two countries have not
negotiated peace, but have concluded
the basis Of future alliance. There
is, however, no evidence, as .rumored,
that any secret clauses are to be ap.
pended 10 the present treaty.
Before leaving the conference build.
