Colfax, Wash.-Judging from the
prices for which the state school
lands sold at the sale recently held,
either the state inspector and ap-
praiser did not know his business or
land values have risen surprisingly
sinse the appraisement was made.
for of all of the 1440 acres sold only
800 acres sold for the state apprais-
ment, the remainder selling from
to to three times above the appris-e-
ment. This was not due to any few
erish bidding on the part of the bid
ders present, but to their idea of it's
worth.
Wallace, Understanding of a
sensation was caused on the main
business street when a woman ap-
peared clad in the new directorie
skirt. Who she is or where she
came from seems to be a mystery,
but the general impression is that
she is with the circus. The circus
people. however. deny they are re-
sorting to this kind of advertising.
This was the first appearance Of the
skirt in Wallace.
Suuyside, Wash. -Although the
bids on the construction of the Nab
ton side of the Sunnyside project
known as the Mabton siphon, have
been opened, the awards have not as
yet been made and it is probable
that the government will do at least
part of the work by day labor, or
by what is called forced account.
The reclamation service probably |
will attend to the excavation for |
both the small and large pipe lines.
and the construction of the inverted
siphon under the Yakima river.
Bids will be awarded for the laying
of the wood stave pipe.

the SnOwstorm mine on Red river,
two and one-half miles east of camp, |

Four-Mile district. In fact great
er number Of people in Elk City have
become interested in the recent dis
sovry than did in the one reported
from the Four-Mile.
Freewater, Ore.-The Freewater
cannery is closing up a successful
run on asparagus and will soon pre-.
pare to handle cherries. At present

season Of fruits opens at least as
many more people will be employed. |

made BY the wenatclse Fruit UroH.1
ers' association during the past win

Walla Walla, Wash.-Fall wheat
is heading out all over the valley
and farmers are beginning to think
seriously of harvest and Its many
problems. Usually harvest begins
about July 4, but this year a delay
