The Appoinimsnt Of Negroes.

But it may we'll admit of doubt
whether in case of any race an APP
pointment of che of their number to
"a local Office in 4 community in which
the race feeling is SO widespread and
acute as to interfere with the ease and
facility Wit; which the local govern
ment business can lie done by the APP
pointee is Of sufficient benefit by way
of encouragement to the race to out
weigh the recurrence and increase of
race feeling which such an appoint
ment is likely TO cngender. Therefore
the executive II recognizing the negro
yace BY appointments must exercise a
careful discretion not thereby to do it
more harm than good. On the other
hand. we must be careful not to en-
courage the mere pretense Of race feel
ing manufactured in the interest Of in

IN A DAZED CONDITION.
Ben Burgunder Fell On Icy Walk
and Sustained Injuries.

Ben Burgunder had the misfortune to
fall Christmas morning, receiving a shak-
ing up that has kept him confined to his
home since. He appeared at the Elk
barber shop Saturday morning to get q
shave, looking pale and being in a dazed
condition. He said he had fallen on the
sidewalk and hit the back OF his head,
then afterwards said he had no recollec-
tions OF anything happening. 1t was
thought advisable to notify his son Sam
who called doctor and took his father
home in hack 1t developed later that
Mr.. Burgunder fell in the back yard at
his home before he left to get shaved, his
wife brushing the snow off his clothes,
not considering him seriously hurt.
Whether he fell again on his way up
town, or his present condition is the re-
suit OF his fall at home, is the question.
He is gradually improving, and will
probably be out in few days.

MORE GOOD ORE IN THE RUBY
Work Is Resumed on This Famous
Property Stockholders EIated.

From the Oroville Gazette it is learned
that drift on the 500 foot level OF the
Ruby mine near Nighthawk shows an
extensive and rich ore shoot. Work has
recently been resumed on the Ruby, and
the management feels greatly elated over
the result. 1t will be remembered that
t. A. Hubbell and G. w. Conner were in
COlfax several months ago in the inter
est OF this mine, Offering stock at low
figure for further development. The re-
suit of further development will be
watched with interest by many.
The Oroville Gazette says that the
Ruby mine is located on the precipitous
side OF the north slope of the spur OF
mountains topped by huge Chopaca, di-
rectly on the line OF the railroad, some
FIVE miles beyond Nighthawk. Work
has been in progress on the property, at
times continuous for months, for seven
or eight years. There is probably more
underground development on the Ruby,
in the nature of tunnels, drifts. cross
cuts, upraises and wines than any min
ing property in northern Okanogan. The
ground to considerable depth and dis
tance has been thoroughly prospected,
and in the process OF that prospecting
much excellent ore has been encountered.
The ledges cut are Of large size and well
mineralized. In places this ore is in solid
bodies. Some of it runs very high in
gold, silver and lead, the chief values
being in the two latter metals, and there
is sufficient of this high grade stuff to
run up the general average so that it can
be treated at good profit.
The Ruby is in q great mineral zone,
mineral being in evidence on every hand.
This extends into British Columbia near
at hand, where properties have been de-
veloped more extensively than on this
side, with the result that we hear of
mines selling for millions that owe their
wealth to exploitation rather than to
more favorable location.
The Ruby mine will bear investigation,
and if we mistake not will be known in
time as one OF the great gold and silver
producers of the country.

ANOTHER PIONEER DIES.
Henry EnsIey Succumbs to Com
piication of Diseases.

Another old timer has passed away.
This time it is Henry Ensley. he died
at bis residence in South COlfax Sunday
night. Mr.. Ensley has been ailing for
long time with a complication OF die
eases, consumption being given as the
cause Of death. The funeral was held
Wednesday, interment taking place IN
the cemetery at Opecho. The funeral
was one OF the largest ever held in Whit
man county. Paul Aeschliman preached
the funeral sermon.
Mr.. Ensley came to Whitman county
ia 1872 and settled on farm 10 miles
south OF CoIfax. He was classed as one
of the well-to-do farmers OF Whitman
county, counting many broad acres,
with plenty and comfort for all his tribe.
Besides his wife. one daughter and five
sons survive. They are Mrs. f. A.
Aeschliman, and Dwight L., Arthur E.,

RURAL ROUTE PATRONS
Should Provide Receptacle in
Boxes for Small Coins.

From a recent count made by rural
carriers in one OF the counties of New
York of coins deposited by patrons in
their boxes for stamp supplies, it was
found that each carrier in the county
was collecting an average OF 115 one
cent coins each week. This average, ap-
piled to all the routes in operation
throughout the country, would give the
enormous total of about 800, 100000
one cent coins.
As most OF these coins are deposited
loose in boxes, it is desirable that pat
rons provide themselves with stamp sup
plies in advance of their needs, and to
equip their boxes with suitable COIN
holding receptacles, 1t should be ex-
planned to patrons that the picking Of
loose coins from boxes not only results
in needless hardship and suffering to
carriers in winter weather, delays the
delivery and collection Of the mails, but
frequently results in actual money loss
to the carriers, for if, in collecting coins
from boxes, they drop them into the
snow or on the ground without recovery
they are required to replace the amount
out OF their own funds. Patrons should
take heed OF this.

the cause of death. Grandma Scantlin
came to Whitman county in 1891 and
has made her home with her son here.
She was born in Phillamont, Lowden
county, Virginia, January 2, 1928, and

OF INLAND
EMPIRE ELECTRIC LINE
A. M. Lupfer Is Here to Direct
Surveying Parties.
One Route Is Up Spring Flat, Cross
ing Union Flat TO Dusty, Thence
TO Hooper Other Routes BEING
Considered One to WalIa WaIIa.

A. NJ. Lupfer, who located the Great
Northern from st. Paul to the Pacific
coast, likewise the Inland Empire line
from Spokane to Colfax, arrived in Col
fax yesterday and gave out an inkling in
regard to the extension OF the Inland

One route is up Spring fiat, thence
crossing Union fat to Dusty and on to
Hooper. Another is the old right-of-
way purchase to Penawawa, crossing
Snake river and going up Deadman
creek into the country back OF Asotin.
1t is also possible that extension may go
to Walla Walla.
Surveyors are in the field and Mr..
Lupfer is here to direct their movements.
He was seen just before The Gazette went
to press last evening, hence much cannot
be said now.

Christmas Trade Immense.

The Christmas trade in COfax was
probably the greatest in the history OF
the city. The business at the postoffice
broke all records. One prominent dealer
remarked that his trade was % per cent
greater this year than last. This shows
that people have money and are spend
ing it. Good cheer and plenty prevailed
on every side. Even the prisoners in the
county Jail feasted on turkey and goose,
something not vouchsafed to every per-
son in every community during the
Christmas season. Bumper crops during
past seasons have been factor in al
this, and the outlook is bright for con-
tinuance OF big crops.

Another Phase of Christmas.

Mrs. Edgar Anderson, daughter OF
John Lyons, who lives on the Henry
Rock place north OF Diamond, met with
a painful accident Monday evening while
returning with sleigh full OF people
from Diamond to the farm homestead.
The sleigh was overturned on a rough
piece OF road, all the occupants being
thrown out but escaping injury except
Mrs. Anderson, who had her left leg
broken below the knee. This came
about, probably, from the fact that she
held her baby aloft to save it from harm
when the sleigh overturned, taking the
force of the fall herself. She is at her
fathers home, doing as we'll as could be
expected. Mrs. Anderson's home is in
Spokane, she being at Diamond to spend
the holidays with her parents.

Italians in Uqly Mood.

The train from Portland (No. 81 pull
ed in yesterday morning at O'Clock
with a car of Italians who had paid their
fare to Colfax, but insisted on continu-
ing the ride to Spokane without further
recompense. The bunch was too much
for the railway officials to handle, who
teephoned to the sheriff's Office for as
sistance. Sheriff Carter and Deputy
Roberts went to the depot, and without
ceremony hustled the sons OF Italy out
OF the car. They were in an ugly mood,
evidently intending to force free ride
f3om Colfax to Spokane. This is anoth-
example of the kind OF people the
United States is getting from the south
OF Europe.

SOCIAL SIDE OF COLFAX
Two Afternoon Card Parties
and An Evening Smoker.

Mrs. George Cornelius was hostess at
two very delightful card parties this week,
on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
The rooms were beautifully decorated
with the Christmas colOrs. From fes-
toons of green were suspended many
Christmas bells, and between the rooms
was an arch Of evergreen from which
hung mistletoe bough. The tally cards
were Christmas bells and the markers for
progressions were holly stamps. On
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. L. D. Woodward
won the prize for most progressions, and
on Wednesday Mrs. Edwin True was the
fortunate one. Delicious refreshments
we're served.
Rev. ], s. Budlong, rector of Good
Samaritan church Of this city, was host
at most enjoyable smoker given at
Emporium hall Wednesday evening and
attended by over 40 of the men of Col
fax. After an hour spent in indulgence
in the weed that soothes, Rev. Budlong
addressed his guests, explaining his posi-
tiOn and the object OF the gathering.
which was to get the men together and
promote cOmradeship. He then invited
written queries on church and biblical
subjects, for which purpose paper and
pencils we're distributed. The questions
propounded, which covered a wide range.
we're collected and the answers to them
by Rev. Budlong constituted an inter-
esting and instructive feature of the oc-
casion. Coffee and sandwiches were then
served, followed by more cigars and
general discussion of topics brought out
by the question box. 1t was announced
by Rev. Budlong that this smoker was
not to be the end of the matter, being
merely the first OF a series of like func.
tions to be given in the near future.
Before goodnight was said the prelimi.
nary steps were!taken to organize the
Mems Club of Good Samaritan Church,
which is designed to promote sociabiIity
in general by frequent meetings, and a
large number of names were signed to
the membership roll.
