Omen New Overa House

Colfay, Wash.-The new Ridge

Gated December 16 The opening
presentation will be "Rabes in Toy
land, the management having pur-
chased the production outright and
will sell the seats and if there is a
profit 1t will go to paw the cost of
the building above that estimated
when the building was started. The
new house is admittedly the finest
in the Palouse court~v and a credit
to the town. The circumstances un-
der which it was erected give addi-
tlcnal proof that Colfax is entitled
to the claim Of being the richest and
most enterprising town OF its size
in Eeastern Washington.

Electric Line for Grangeville.

Grangeville, IdahO.-LOcal bust
ness men are discussing the advis-
ability of forming stock company
to build a streetcar line from the
Northern Pacific depot to the bust
ness district. Samuel Jones having
the matter in charge. The depot Is
situated almost mile from the bust
ness district and 1t is believed that
a small car line would be satisfac-
tory investment. The depot is stu
ated at such a distance because OF
the necessity OF securing plenty OF
terminal grounds and side-track
privileges The business men are
considerably interested in the propo-
sition and 1t is probable that an es-

MEET TO
AID COMMERCE
TO BE ATTENDED BY ALI PROM.
NENT MEN IDENTIFIED WITH
LABOR AND COMMERCE-IT IS
LAST NATIONAL MEETING THIS
WEEK,

Washington. Dec. 10.--The fourth
conferences that have
helped to make the present week
notable one at the national capital
was held today, when the National
Council of Commerce met to elect
officers, adopt bylaws and perfect a
plan to be followed by the council
in its future work. The sessions
were held in the Offices of the depart
ment of commerce and labor and they
were attended by eminent represen-
tatives of commercial organizations
in virtually every state n the Union.
The National Council of CONNER
&C. which was inaugurated by Sec
rotary Straus a year ago, has arous-
ed considerable interest throughout
the country, about 60 commercial
bodies from the leading cities of the
United States having joined the
council since it's first meeting. Sec
rotary Straus has become more and
more convinced Of the practicable
ty and value of this progressive Or
ganization, not only to the COM
mercial activities throughout the
country, which can through the
council be constantly informed OF
trade opportunities abroad, but to
the various departments of the gov
eminent connected with the business
world.
One of the features of the move
ment is the establishment of per-
manent bureau of the council in this
/ city in charge of capable man, who
can keep in close touch with the gov
eminent departments that have tt

welfare. Similar bureaus have ex

England, France and other Euro
pean countries and have been foun'
to be of incalculable value in pro
noting their foreign commerce.

Dry Town Not Dry.

MOSCOW, ICanO.--A real SOFT drink
sensation is to be uncOrked in this
city before the end Of the week and
possibly within another day or as
soon as Professor J. Shirley Jones,
the university chemist, completes his
analysis OF liquor bought at one or
both of the near-beer stores of the
city. Two detectives from out of
town have been at work in this ely
for several days and evidence that
several bottles Of liquor have been
purchased have been obtained. In
one instance, 1T is claimed, bottle
labeled Lemon Soda Pop" proved to
be fair sample of straight whiske:.
This, 1t Is said will bring this case
under the pure food law and make 1t
a federal case, for selling goods un-

has been SO thoroughly and secretly
carried on that only few knew just

Wenatchee, Wash.--Work on the
additions to the present water system
will be commenced this week and
1t is expected that the work reces-

Columbia river to the new reservoir

an attractive branch Of farming and
many of the farmers raise large num-
bers of hogs. while many of them are
feeding cattle as well. The efforts
of the Idaho experiment station to
Introduce intensified and diversified
farming are bearing fruits. to the
great delight of the men who have
been induced to use science in farm
ing. Profits from livestock are usu-
ally much higher than when the
grain is sold, for at the present pric-
es for hogs and cattle the net returns
give much greater increase than
expected.

Nd NFonument To Dante.

Count Gallini. in letter publish ed in Vita, gives an interesting account of a visit to Giosue Carducci which he made when he was a reporter of Italian parliamentary news. It was at the time when the government was consid- ering the advisability of voting 15O.- 900 lire toward a Dante monument, the rest of the money necessary for a suitable memorial to be raised by pop ular subscription. T went to Bolog- na.' writes the count. "saw the great man and began to explain my mtssion' when he interrupted me. saying: No, no! No monument for Dante.

GREAT ENGLIsH HOMES.

 It Is pathetic fact that there are sew sral men in the United Kingdom who would consider themselves on the brink of bank ruptcy if they were reduced. by any evil stroke of fate. to a mere pittance of one thousand pounds c week-who would find 1t. simply impossible to rub along anyhow on the income of . simple millionarire which would be barely sufficient in some cases to pay the expenses of the iordly pleasure houses which they have inherited from their ancestors.
 The Duke of Devonshire, for example has no fewer than seven of these stately homes-six in England and one in Ireland leach of them 1t for the reception of q king. and in not one of which. as he con tessed the other day. has he lived lons enough to explore thoroughly Probably he himself does not know within one thousand pound how much these palatial homes cost yearly to maintain. but the annual cost has been said to make very big hole in one hundred thousand pounds.

MIdshIpmen and Marriage.

Midshipmen and marriage are inter esting the navy department at-present considerably. In the last three years more than one midshipman has been dismissed from the services for marry ing before he has been graduated from Annapolis. Also there have been in creasingly numerous requests to the navy department from passed midship- men asking permission to marry. The department has been so far lenient with Cupid and has granted most or these requests. A quiet investigation of the effects of such marriages has, however, been carried on, and the re- suit of this has satisfied the navy de- paFtment that a passed midshipman has no business to marry unless he

4<nafpr HaIe's Navy Blli Comes Up Flrst--Ffnanciai Measure to Be
 Discussed in Committee 4et4 Tomorrow.

F Washington, Jan. 12.--In Congress, ffs two subjects which are attracting attention to the exclusion of almost everyfhlng else are the financial bill and navy personnel b:h, the former 8v Senator Aidrich and the latter by Senator Hale. The Senate Committee on Finance will take up the Aldrich hilS at it's sitting next Tuesday. It Is not believed that the Democrats Will make any determined opposition to the bill in committee. and the indications are that t will be given a place on the calendar sooner than even the Repub- 1ican advocates of the measure expect ca There will be some effort to amend < both in committee and in the Senate, hut whether amended or not 1t will be debatad in the Senate at length.
 Even though the Democrats them selves should favor the passage of the ifiea8ure. they would not permit the session to go by without discussing the financial situation, and the Aldrich bill will afford them the best opportunity for thss. The Democrats will take ad- vantage of every chance to get every 4hinE possible out of the situation, but {n the end will not stand in the way of such legislation as the party leaders may agree upon.
 Senator HaIe's bill will receive the flrst attention at the hands of the
  ureaent week, but 1t will probably be some time before the measure can be reported to the Senate. There is little doubt but that hearings will be or darnd. It will be quite impossible to avoid touching upon the retirement of Admiral Brownson and If the subject ie once opened. there is no telling to what extent it may be pursued. The general question of the reorganization 0x the navy is of itself very important. but the addition of the Brownson inci- dent has added much to the general 1nterest in the proposed amendment.
 Chairman Tawney of the House Com mittae nfAppropriations will be in his seat Monday .morning and the commit tee will immediately proceed with the canssderation of the appropriation bill. me voluminous bill providing for the codifcation of the penal laws holds the xlglt-of-way in both houses. It has been under consideration in the House for two or three days, and it was given the position of unfinished business on the Senate calendar before the Senate adjourned last Thursday. The Senate wiil adjourn again on Thursday until tli Following Monday. but the House wsli m 3Gr likely continue it's work un- til the end of the week.
