The Lind Leader says: By the grace
of Providence and the Northern Pacific
railway company the fuel famine will
soon be broken. Now, if Providence
and the Standard Oil Co., will just
push the kerosene and gasoline little
faster, we may be happy yet, you bet.

D. B. johnson, of College Hill, called

little as to the political situation in the
city. Mr.. Johnson was one of the men
who responded to his couutry's call in

he will be ready and willing to again
respond, but in different way.
The managers of several of the ware
houses in Adams county situated along
the line of the Northern Pacific have

hauling grain. Such is the case at
Cunningham at the present time at

are being piled outside.
| A rancher named VIM. Dous, who
lived about 16 miles west of town, has
left the country without even bidding
his neighbors goodbye. But he seems
to have left numerous debts in their

way, is the Ritzville Trading Company,
the Frieske boys and Fred Hoefel.
Not all the men who operated thresh-

to pay for the machine but that their
surplus profits aggregated one thousand

paid to Mr.. and Mrs. S. S. Schiller,

81, 900, this being the amount Of the
policy carried on the life of their son
Delmar, who died short time ago.
This is the first loss experienced among
the membership of the local lodge, and
it's early adjustment speaks well for the
Artisans.

offices will be in the Mcmillan block at
present occupied by H. A. P. Myers.
1t is useless for US to expand upon the
ability of either of the gentlemen, but
will again assert there are none better
or ADLER in the great Inland Empire.
