Summer u

Made Of prairie grass are the most
practical Of the inexpensive assert
ment shown in the shops. The colors
are durable, and good shades of red,
green, blue and yellow are used. The
borders usually are of a lighter or
darker shade Of the color used for the
center. Rugs of cocoa fiber are the
most desirable of all the styles, for
the colors are in lovely soft shades
and the designs are most unique. The
colors are durable, for a woman who
had had n Of these rugs several
years and was buying another re-
marked: II have left the rug out in
the rain, and the sun has shone on it
while 1t was still wet and the colors
did not change a particle" Although
these rugs are expensive they prove
economical in the end, for they wear
two or. three times as long as the
other kinds.

Opera House for RitzviIle.

The committee which was appointed
by the Business Mems association to
formulate plans for the building of an
opera house in Ritzville met in the
office of Henneberg & Clark Monday
night and formed a temporary organi-
cation. They elected F. f. Robbins
chairman and Geo. Christensen as
secretary. A committee was appointed
to solicit subscriptions of stock. The
committee consists of F. f. Robbins,
Fred Henneberg, Geo. Christensen,
Henry Rosenoff, DR.. d. A. Hewitt,
o. II. Greene and j. M. Bennington.
1t is the intention to canvass the people
of this city and secure $4,000 in
subscriptions in order to handle the
project. 1t is to be stock company.
Ritzvilie is in need of an opera house
where public gatherings can be held.
This was considered one of the best
show towns between Spokane and
Seattle, when the old opera house was
standing. Now is the time for the
people of Ritzville to pull together and
assist in securing the building desired.
The committee are ready to take sub
scriptions for stock and any one who
is interested should see them. This
should be owned entirely by Ritzville
people.

RitzxiNe Short Of Wafer.

The citizens of this place are suffer-
ing from water famine. The large
pump at the city well on College hill
has broken down and the city has had
to send to San Francisco for repairs.
The people of this city are without
water most of the time on account of
the shortness of the supply which
comes from the well down on the flats.
This well only supplies water for few
hours at time and it does not give
enough pressure to force the water up
on the hills. 1t is reported that it will
take several days before the main
pump can be repaired. The water
users were not notified of the shortage
consequently the hotels and private
residences were entirely out of the
necessary water for household pur-
poses. 1t should be a warning to the
officials of this city to be prepared for
just such an emergency as this and
either have an extra supply of repairs
on hand or surplus pump. This city
would be in bad shape in case of
fire. We do not know who is to blame
for the neglect but those who are de-
pendent upon the city should be in
formed of the state of affairs, so that
they could make provisions accordingly.
People who pay for their water are en-
titled to a notification at least.
