INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOTBALL
Coifax Won Saturday From Pullman
--Piays Coeur d'Alene Today.

In a return game of football with Pull
man last Saturday the CoIiax High
school team won. The score was II
points in favor Of the home aggregation
to two points for the visitors. The for
mer game this season at Pullman resulted
in tie. The Colfax boys outclassed
the visiting team, including better in
dlvidual and collective play, tackling and
in getting the ball under way.
The Coeur d'Alene High school team
will be here this (Friday) afternoon to
play the High school team. The visiting
team is the only undefeated team out

set as flint to win, hence it is up to
our boys to get in and dig.
criticism offered by a spectator at
last Saturdays game il that not single
player brought into play the important
factor OF passing the ball to another
member OF his team following him when
realizing he would be stopped. Here is
where more ground can be gained, where
good play comes in, where scoring and
victory results. To witness a game
wh,re among other things, the bali may
not touch terra tirma for minutes at a
time, the other side sometimes intercept
ing pass and carrying the ball, is real
fun, and prevents many tiresome delays.

RAILROAD EXTENSION
IS ORDER OF DAY
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound r. R. Active.
The So Called Loop May Be Real
ity Soon--O. r. & N. May Double
Track Main Line From Portland
Through the Palouse Country.

Railroad development, extension and
Improvement seems to be the order OF
the day in all parts OF the Inland En-
pire The Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railroad, now that the main line
Is practically complete, is undoubtedly
planning for feeders, as surveyors and
lOcators are securing through this part
OF the Palouse looking over the situation
An ageat OF the Milwaukee road was in
Colfax this week, but gave out no def
Dite information what he or his com
pany intended to do. This, OF course,
was expected. That the company is
planning to build the 80 called loop,
tapping the rich soil tributary to Col
fax, as well as the productive valleys of
Walla Walla and the Touchet, returning
to the main line somewhere on the CO.
iumbia river, is apparent, and their
movements are being watched with in
terest. Since the Inland Empire system
is now owned by the Great Northern,
and the Great Northern and Milwaukee
are competitive roads, lends color to the
belief that the latter means business and
railroad building will be active in these
parts in the near future
Not only that, the o. r. & N. is en-
gagged in double-tracking it's line between
Portland and Huntington, distance of
4O4 miles, with the ultimate object of
double-tracking the entire main line into
Spokane. As the O. R. & N. passes
through the entire length of Whitman
county, it means much for the farmers
and business men of each and every
community in the county. The 0 R. &
N. has been spurred to this action by
the growing opposition of Hills North
Bank road. 1t will take time to do all
this. but it is surely coming

Nearing CompIetion.

Brick work on the new High school
building is finished, hence we have a per-
feet exterior view of the structure. Aside
from it's ornate appearance it is some
thing to gladden. the eyes of Colfaxites,
as it is greatly needed for school pur-
poses. The roof is not all on yet,
however, unfavorable weather conditions
having prevented. The heating plant is
being installed, and desks and furniture
ordered. 1t is thought everything will
be in readiness for use by the first OF the
year, although the contract calls for
completion OF the building by the 18th
of December. Unpropitious weather of
late has greatly interfered with outdoor

Whitman County Fair Association.

The board Of directors OF the Whitman
County Fair Association held a meeting
Monday. All bills against the associa
tion, including premiums for 1909, were
ordered paid and the secretary was
directed to give notice that premiums of
the 1908 fair remaining unpaid would be
lquidated without further delay. This
Is something for congratulations, showing
that the last fair was a success financially
as well as from show standpoint. It
was voted to level and seed to grass the
ground inside the race track, which will
not only beautify the inclosure but will
make it available for games and other
forms of amusement. The 1910 fair
may be looked forward to with more
than the usual feeling of anticipation.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM PUGET SOUND
State Aims to Make Education
More Practical.
Portage Canal Between Lakes Union
and Washington Is of National
Importance - Federal Govern
ment to Bear in Expense.

Seattle, Nov. 1O-A project has been
started to divide the Third congressional
district OF Washington, limiting it to
the extreme tier of counties. This would
put the central counties into the Fourth
district. Already L o Meigs. speaker
OF the 1909 house of representatives, is
being doomed for the place in congress
from this division. He lives in North
Yakima Miles Poindexter considers
himself solid in the Third on his insur
gent record. Judge McCredie, elected
from the Second to succeed the late F. W,
Cushman. is said to be well fixed in the
saddle, while in the First district Ken
meth Macintosh, former prosecuting
attorney of King county, is credited
with ambitions to succeed Will E Humph
rey. Such are the rumblngs in the
congressional cauldron.
Suffragists are exceedingly active in
all the counties of Washington, taking a
poll OF the voters to ascertain their stand
ing on the constitutional amendment
granting the ballot to women, which will
be voted on in December, 1910. Thurs
ton county is in the lead in this activity.
Already a complete list of the voters
there has been compiled. Politicians are
showing much interest in this campaign
and many of them believe that thorough
methods of this sort are bound to win.
Striving for Higher Education.
Washington state is aiming to make
it's higher education more practical all
the time. At the University in Seattle
a course in the Japanese language has
been added to the curriculum for the ben
eft of those students who plan to invade
the Orient for commercial purposes or
in the government service Another
innovation is the addition of course in
the Scandinavian languages. Wash

advance agriculture. Its latest demon

Will Apply for Patent.

j. l.. Irwin of the Elk barber shop
has invented and put into practical use
a simple cOntrivance which does away
with the necessity OF taking out the hea d
rest in barber's chair when customer
desires hair cut as has been the case
heretofore. The head-rest is pulled up
a certain distance where a set of double
springs allows it to lay over against the
back OF the chair, it being fastened and
regulated in position by the old methods
1t is not only labor-saving devise, but
puts a stop to the awkward practice OF
pulling the head rest out and laying it
away somewhere. Mr.. Irwin will apply
for a patent.

Nine Foot Sheets Hereafter.

Although the new law regulating hotels
in Washington does not go into effect
until March, the better class OF hostelries
have begun to comply with it. Beds are
being equipped with the nine-foot sheets
for which the travelling public made a
demand. At the time OF it's passage this
part OF the law was regarded as a joke,
but the discomfort Of skinny bed linen
is too we'll known by men who don't live
at home. Hotels are even beginning to
advertise this feature of their obedience
to the law, showing that it is believed to
have drawing power.
AS result OF the fight of the anti
saloon fight, many arid spots are begin
ming to appear on the map Of Washing
ton. So far local option has carried in
twelve Incorporated towns as against
wet victories in three.
