five school buildings and i've cot
tages on the Spokane and Colvill,
Indian reservations has been award
ed by the government to William +
Sullivan OF Reardan. The contrac,
price was $4,000.
The wheat crop of the Big Bend
is looking good and the prospects
are better than last year. Fruit will
be little late, but good crop IL
expected. The warm weather of this
week forced rapid growth.
Leavenworth, Wash.-The works
OF the Pacific Coast Pipe company
were destroyed by fire, leaving moth
ing but the iron tank filled with tar
rubber mixture Workmen claim
the blaze started from the ignition
OF free oil floating on the surface of
the heavier mixture, the high tenn
perature causing the oil to ignite.
Walla Walla.-With slight de-
mand for -four for export, and heavy
stocks on hand, the millers of this
section are having trouble to dis
pose Of their products. Most of the
mills laid in large supply Of wheat
last fall, anticipating strong prices
all winter, and they have plenty Of
grain to keep the mills running on
full time, but the market does not
justify the investment. Most mills
will close down for few weeks dur
ing the hot days of the summer.
Wallace, Ida.-Money slot ma
chimes, which mysteriously appeared
about three weeks ago, disappeared
again, just as quietly as they came.
The only reason that can be ascribed
for the sudden removal is found in
the statement made by the Rev. j. D.
Neilan and the Rev. Charles Nc
Caughey. They say they demanded
OF Probate Judge Worste'l last even
ing an order directing the sheriff to
seize anddestroy all slot machines

were rushed to Heppner to secure
Judge Beans signature to the tenn
porary restraining order restraining !
the county court from issuing a pro-
clamation.
North Yakima, Wash.-It is prac- !
tically certain that the State Bank
ers' association, which meets here
June 1920. will be entertained byl
real Indian warriors, attired In real
war dress and paint. When the pro-
gram was planned the committed
that the association, could |
induce the Indians to take SO much |
time away from their languid sum-
mer life, but through the efforts Of
local men the Anal arrangementsl
will be made.
kennewick. Wash.-With much |
evidenced by the imme-
date subscription OF nearly $1,000,
the Kennewick Commercial club has
launched a company to construct
docks and warehouses along the wa
ter front. George F. Richardson, L. |
E. johnson and H. H. Cole were APP

cles Of Incorporation.
Bellington, Wash.-Grain inter-
ests OF the city are planning to have

North Yakima.-More labor trou-I
