Postmaster General Hitchcock that to
establish the postal savings bank in
the next session OF congress would be
the loading on the postal service Of
an expense which. with the present
enormous deficit, it could i'll afford to
bear. But. while the need of conomN
in the service is pressing. his chief
consideration has been that higher cf-
ficiency and stability for the lnstitu-
ton can best be attained by delaying
the legislation until the time for the
monetry reforms.
The reforms which Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock has instituted, and
which he will propose in his report,
will tend TO cut down the deficit in
the near future, but their real ana
more permanent effects will come
later, when they have been put into

a Perfect Day.

Last Sunday was perfect day, if it
was the ides of March. The sun shone
warm and resplendent, nature wore it's
most gracious smile. AS was to be ex.
pected nearly everybody was out. Fol-
lowing the long continued gloom OF win
ter it came as the first greeting of spring.
Some took rigs and rode over the coun-
try, but by far the greater number
preferred to walk and strolled in ery
direction. Ii the fipper tail pest was not
annihilated it was not for lack of rifles
and ammunition. Every pedestrian
seemed to have % caliber. One dealer
says he sold Is rifles last Saturday and
10000 shells, of different kinds. He
further volunteered the information that
his firm sold over 100000 shells last
season. And still the Gpper-tail lives
and grows fat on the fat of the land

HIGH SCHOOL BUILD.
ING FOR THIS DISTRICT
Site Secured and Construction
to Begin About May 1.
Will Take the Form of Private Own
ership, With Ultimate Object of
Building Becoming the Property
of District for School Purposes.

A building in Cofax for high school
purposes is assured. The putting up OF
the building will take the form OF private
ownership, but subject to lease for high
school purposes, with the ultimate OBJ
iect of it's becoming the property OF the
district upon complying with GER
tain conditions. The grounds, on Mill
street, east of the court house, have al
ready been acquired and paid for by the
district. 1t is thought the location will
he ideal for the purpose.
A joint stock company will be organ
lied, and The Gazette is informed that
all the stock has been subscribed but
$25O0, and that is absolutely assured
Plans are being made to put up $4O,-
900 building, which will be bought by
the district, payments on principal, or
cost OF structure, to be made in install
ments at the same time interest pay
ments are made, until 1913, when it is
proposed to issue district refunding
bonds. which will also take care of the
remainder of the Indebtedness. Work
will begin about the 1st of May and
rushed so as to have the building com
pleted by early fall. The present high
school building will be used for grade
work. 1t is proposed TO add manual
training and domestic economy to the
course.
Colfax will soon be supplied with build
ings and equipment to care for all who
may come. The new school laws passed
at the recent session Of the legislature
will add greatly to the income of this
district through state and county tax
alton. 1t will be but matter of short
time until the district will be out Of debt

CHANGE OF TIME.
On Palouse Lines of Spokane & In
land Electric Railway.

change in schedule on the Palouse
lines OF the Spokane & inland il expected
to be made about the first OF April, says
the Spokane Chronicle of March 16. The
local service will start from Mount Hope
instead Of Freeman, the present division
point. The running time between this
city and Colfax and Moscow will be re
duced considerably. In both instances
the present schedule will be cut down 20
minutes. The train from Spokane to
C0lfax will be two hours and 40 minutes,
instead of three hours to Moscow three
hours, instead of three hours and 20
minutes.
There will be seven local trains each
way between Spokane and Freeman, and
three trains each way to Colfax and Mos
COW. There will be less cars on train,
but more trains. As soon as they can
be turned out by the shop. chair cars
will be added to the Colfax trains, the
same as are now in service to Moscow.

HAS A SILVER LINING.
Gle Eium, OthelIo and Maiden Are
Selected as Divisic nal Points.

The Tacoma News is authority for the
statement that Cle-Elum, Othello and
Maiden will be the three divisional points
of the Chicago. Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railroad in the state of Washington. A.
M. Ingersoll, vice. president of the road,
confirms this. Maiden, it is said, will
have large roundhouse, ultimately car
ing for 60 locomotives, although the
present building provides for only 10.
Maiden and Gle. EIum will have immense
ice houses, which will supply all the needs
of refrigerator and passenger coaches of
the Milwaukee line.
That the Milwaukee is looking out for
the future is evident at all three places.
Provision is being made at each division
al town for many miles of sidings. No
less than five mile Of sidetracks will be
put in at each place Immediately, and
there is room enough to increase this to
20 miles when the traffic demands.
