Foremost among the rapidly grow

Inland Empire is the Washington
Printing and Book Manufacturing

pany's plant represents an investment
of over $4,000 and employing as it
does some thirty skilled printers, pres
men and bOokbinders with a payroll
approximating 100000 per annum, it
occupies a prominent position among
the manufacturing industries of Wal

most modern machinery obtainable.
Four Of the latest types of Mergen-
thaler linotypes, three high speed book
and newspaper presses, three high
speed platen presses, ruling machine,
stitchers, stapling machines folding
machine and various other equipment
for printing and blank book work 90
to make up a plant second to none in
any Of the cities Of the northwest. not
excepting Seattle, Portland, Tacoma
or Spokane.
Until the installation Of this magni-
ficent plant, Walla Walla business men
were contributing to the upbuilding Of
outside communities by sending away
for thousands of dollars worth of print
ing and blank book work yearly. With
the exception of very small percent
this work Is being done in Walla Wal
Ia, thereby increasing the payrolls of
the city thousands Of dollars each year

line of goods found in a hardware store
is carried in stock, and the quality is
of the very best. Those who are in
search of appropriate holiday gifts

reasonable as the most reasonable

SEVEN DAYS LEFT IN WHICH TO
BENEFIT BY DOUBLE VOTE OFFER

Four more days to work for $40 in
gold. Seven more days to get double
number of votes. Two new five year
subscriptions will put any candidate
in the race in the lead. This is your
opportunity.
Candidates in the Times $4,000 con-
test who expect to benefit by the spe-
cial offers must work hard for the
next few days. The contest is now
nearing the close and the rest of the
time will undoubtedly be marked by
the greatest activity. Polls for We'd
nesday's count close promptly at six
o'clock tonight.
Seven days are left in which to
benefit by the double vote offer. Can
didates are taking advantage of this
offer to marked degree, and others
will be heard from before the close
of the Special Cash offers of $40 in
gold.
Those who fail to make the very
most of these offers are certainly
throwing away their best chances OF
winning the main prizes, as positively
no other offer will be made during
the contest, so 1t will be much better
to turn in every available subscrip-

Get the double aumber-do not wait
until the very last and then get only
the usual number of votes. Those
who have promised you subscription
will give it now If you explain to
them that their subscription is worth
just twice as much to you as 1t will
be at the close Of the contest.
Get in with the busy throng and
work hard the balance of the time.
You may lack few votes of having
enough to win big prize, SO work
while you have the advantage.
Judging from the many compliment
airy remarks that have been heard
around the city, the public certainly
appreciates the generosity OF The Ev-
ening Times, in offering such liberal
rewards to the ladies of Grand Forks
for so little effort.
Less than two weeks now remain
of the contest, and any Of the prizes
are worth striving for. There are not
so many working in this contest. and
those who work hard are almost sure
to win something. Then. why not you
win one of the capital prizes by lit

BUILDING IMMENSE DAM
Kettle River Quarries Company Con.
structing Power Producing Dam
on Kettle River

Inspector John Woodruff, who is en-
gagged at Sandstone, Mimi, in the in
spection of creosote blocks, writes
that the Kettle River Quarries COM
pany is doing large amount of work
in the construction of a dam on the
Kettle river near its plant. The dam
will be sixteen and a half feet high
and constructed with a sufficiently
firm foundation to be built consider
ably higher when more power is de-
sired
In the company's power house two
turbines will be installed. These will
develop $50 horse power, which will
be used in operating the quarry and
the Sandstone electric lighting plant.
The construction of this dam, furnish
ing additional power to Sandstone,
will mean much for the industrial
growth Of that city, says Mr.. Wood
ruff and as the company will furnish
power to industries intending to locate
there, the people are greatly pleased
over the operations now under way.
