NHITMAN COUNTY WINS
Great Agricultural County Candi.
dates Get Many Prizes From
Spokesman-Revlew

Whitman county again set the
pace in enterprise when its candi.
dates polled nearly one-fifth of the
votes in the voting contest recently
held by the Spokesman-Re and
nearly one-fifth of the prizes offered
were won by Whitman county can
didates. ]. L. Nessly, district mana
ger for the Spokesman-Review, was
awarded cash prize of $50 for hav-
ing had the greatest number of votes
poiled in his district of any dis
tEict in the contest
When it is remembered that the
entire northwest was the field in
which the contest was held and that
it was divided into II districts
every one of them much larger than
Whitman county. the results seem
almost remarkable. There were 40,-
100000 votes polled in the entire
oentest and 7,105,099 of these were
least for Whitman county candidates.
There were SO prizes given in addi-
:. ton TO the trips 10 Seattle and Whit
man county candidates got 0 of the
afi8.
Opposed to Whitman county were
~. our states and British Columbia.
a.. akane City was a district by it.
-, Spokane county outside of Spo-
-, city, and Whitman county
ned another district, which was
- inferred g No. 3 was all of Lin
49, In, Adams and Stevens counties.
80 was Ferry, Okanogan, Chelan
and Douglas counties. District No.
was Kititas and Yakima counties.
No. was Franklin. Benton and
: Kickitat counties Walla Walla,
Garfield, Columbia and Asotin coun-
ties composed District No. Z. Una
tilla, Baker and Union counties in
Oregon, composed District No. 8.
No. was composed of all of British
Columbia, Bonner. Kootenai and
Shoshune counties Idaho. No. 10
was Idaho, Nez Perez and Latah
& COunli6S, ANc. uiobiASA
was All of the territory not includ-
ed in the above named 10 districts.
That Whitman county should eX-
cell every one of these districts by
an overwhelming majority seems re-
markable. bur the vote shows that
this county takes a back seat for no
two, three or four counties in the
northwest when it comes to showing
enterprise and boosting for its home
people. Four Colfax and three Pull
man candidates won prizes Miss
Codd, of Colfax, won the trip to
Seattle and $500 worth of real es
tate in Spokane Miss Lulu Wells,
Colfax. won fine piano and $50 in
cash to pay for music lessons. Miss
Ethel Scott, of Colfax, won a fine

INJUNCTION FELL ON
HOTEL IN MEOORA

A Medora report says: The
Enforcement League got in it's
work at the Rough Riders hotel
here last week when the place was
searched and cases of beer dis
covered. An injunction is now
on the front part Of the house.
The Rough Riders hotel was
erected in the winter of 1884-5
by George Fitzgerald, and was
operated as an hotel by him until
the fall of the curtain in 1887.
Fitz lost it on a mortgage, when
it became the property of the De
Mores Company, and remained idle
for over ten years, when it as sold
to one Tom Grozier, and has in
the past twelve years passedthrough
the hands Of over half a dozen
parties. The Joy Of life has al
ways been dispensed, and no one
ever thought the enforcement
people would ever trouble this
little town in the hills. The
hotel was formerly known as the
metropolitan" but after Colonel
Roosevelt fought the Spanish war,
the name was changed to Trough
Riders. It's terrible sad.

IE the copper country it is believed that
the steel corporation intends to cut the

at McCargos Cove.
The company making the sale is the
