Laura Winston Company.

The attendance at the Ridgeway
Theater this week has not been what it
should have been. The Laura Winston
company was here a couple of months
ago and left an impression that should en-
title it to packed houses on a return
date, but strange to say this has not
been the case. The bad weather, how
ever, may have had something to do
with it. Tonight the company will pro-
duce "Swords OF France" romantic
drama of the time OF Napoleon, one OF
the big hits of the New York season of
1907. The company pays a heavy
royalty for the play and is spariDg moth
ing in the way of costuming to give it
adequate production. Saturday after
noon a special performance OF "The
Princess OF Patches" will be given for
the benefit of school children, who will
be admitted for Is cents and adults for
25 cents. The Gazstte takes pleasure in
recommending these plays as we'll as the
Laura Winston company to the public.
The plays are elevating and the players
assume their roles, one and all, as true
artists. Don't fail to go.

Returned From the Chase.

Lou Irwin and DR.. Mitchell came in
from their hunt on the Sherman trail
leading from Kettle Falls to Republic
Friday evening, bringing two deer with
them, buck aud doe, as trophy OF the
chase. They were gone two weeks.
Along the Sherman trail used to be
great deer preserve, and many of the
beautiful creatures still make that region
their habitat, but they have become
foxy with age and experience. although
their numbers have become greatly
thinned caused in part by over hunting
and in part by settlement of the country.
Irwin said grouse and pheasants were
plentiful, of which they had their fill.

POTATOES OF LARGE SIZE.
Planted on Hill Land, and, Like
TopsY, "Just Grew"

As showing what dry farming, along
with rich Palouse soil, can do, c. NJ.
Hitchings, whose farm is at Hastings
Rulch, near Sunset, brought to The
Gazette office Saturday eight potatoes OF
the Banner variety, the average weight
OF which is from 80 to 55 ounces each.
Each potato would make a meal for g
large sized family. The tubers have
since been placed in the rooms OF the
Coltax Commercial Club, alongside many
other remarkable things grown in Whit
man county, where those interested can
see for themselves.
These potatoes were planted last May
on hill land, and have grown without
special care or receiving drop of water
Mr.. Hitchings harvested big crop off
this upland field of potatoes, most OF
them being large and perfect specimens.
Like non-irrigated fruit, non-irrigated
potatoes are more mealy and toothsome
than the irrigated product, and usually
command the top-notch price in the city
markets.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
Tender DeraiIed on o. r. G. N. This
Side Garfield.

The o R. & n train from Spokane
due in COlfax at 7:10 p. m. was four
hours late Wednesday, owing to a pc
culiar accident which happened two
miles this side OF Garfield The train
left Tekoa behind tine and was pushing
ahead at the rate of 60 miles an hour to
make up lost time. At the point named
above the tender left the track, and
bumped along on the crossties for dis
tance of 1900 feet, tearing and plowing
up things, before the train WAS stopped.
Strange to say none of the passenger
cars. four in number, left the track, the
passengers, although feeling the humping
process, not knowing that the tender
was off the truck and the cars were in
imminent danger OF being ierked off,
until the train came to standstili.
After working with iackscrews and
other appliances known to railroad men
the tender was placed on the track again
and the train reached Colfax four hours
late. Considering the way the tender
plowed up things along the track it is a
wonder the train was not wrecked.

Grain Quotations.
Planning for Opening Ceremonies.

The equipment of the new High school
building is now practically complete and
though the building has been occupied by
the High school for the past three months
comparatively few OF the patrons of the
school have been through the building.
Patrons OF the school are always vel
come as visitors. The plan is now to

to visit the new building on the after
ternoon of Friday, December g. The

have shown interest in the school,
especially those active in the erecting OF
the new High school building. After
this gymnasium classes will be held and
a couple OF basket ball games put on in
the gymnasium to show the work that is
being done. A full program OF the

POULTRY SHOW NEXT MONTH
Colfax Will House Scores of High
Bred Fowls Then.

The poultry show by the Whitman
County Poultry & Pet Stock Association,
January 9 to IA inclusive. promises to
excel in every particular the one given
last January, which was the first annual
event. 1t is lusty youth, having out
grown this knee breeches and long stock
ings period, and has donned long-legged
pants, patent-leather shoes, immaculate
shirt front, bandana necktie and other
fixtures peculiar to a modern and up
to-date young man who is reaching the
period when his moustache and the girls
call for considerable attention. From
the lusty- youth period the poultry show
expects to develop into the perfect man,
although, following the simile, it will
mature, broaden and develop, grow
more sweet and mellow as the years come
and go.
While the premiums, prizes and trophy
cups to be awarded are a consideration,
still the main object OF the association is
to create interest in the raising OF poultry,
which is an asset to any community when
the business is carried On intelligently and
with purpose in view. Besides, most
people are interested in looking at high
bred and beautiful-plumaged birds, OF
which Whitman county has scores within
it's borders. Many of them will be seen
at the approaching poultry show.

County Jail Nearly Empty.

There are only five prisoners in the
county jail at this writing. This is
quite in contrast with many times in the
past. The prisoners, when not working,
are fed two meals day, which costs the
county 20 cents for each meal served.
When working they get three meals a
day. The meals are we'll cooked, and
bread, meat, vegetables and pastry are
served in quantity to supply all reason
able demands. No just complaint can
be made in this regard. The prisoners
last summer did considerable work at
divers places.

May Lead to Results.

The mayor and council, after above
business was transacted, held an in
formal discussion of plans for street
work and other civic improvements, it
being the opinion that work for the
future, which cannot be done to advant-

planned and brought to perfection now,

can be rushed to completion. The sug-
gestion is a good one. Let US reverse

work all summer. Plans for the future

Anent That Y Bridge.

0. R. & N. proposition for a bridge on
the Y-track leading from the passenger
to the freight depot was referred to street
committee. The bridge at this point
was badly wrecked by the food of last
March. 1t was built across the South
Palouse on piles, and when the Onrush
OF waters came, bringing thousands of
tons OF wreckage from above, the piles
supporting the bridge we're torn out,
leaving the track and framework sup.
porting it suspended in mdair in the
shape OF double bow. Later the rail-
way company sought to repair this
bridge by again driving piles in the river,
but was stopped by the city, it being
considered a check to the even flow of
water during high stages. The 0. R. &
n. now proposes to reconstruct this
bridge by building a three foot pier in
the middle OF the river, faced with heavy
timbers so as to turn Aotsam that may
come from above, with two 80 foot spans
on either side, resting on substantial
piers.
