TRAINS HERE SOON.
The Work of Repairing Road Is
Goine On Apace.

The LELAND electric line has done
started in to repair their road from the
ravages Of the food of March 1. The
roadbed from opposite the Harpole farm
to Colfax was badly wrecked, four bridges
washed away and the tunnel nearly filled
with debris and slickens. A large force
OF men has been at work since the reced-
ence of food waters and cars will prob
ably be running into Colfax again the
first of next week, although the state
ment is made that the first train may
reach here Sunday evening.
The working force is encamped at this
writing near the fair grounds, where they
eat and sleep, putting in y hours day
in hard work Work now being done is
of temporary nature, the washed-out
bridges being replaced by piling, over
which cars can pass till such time as
steel structures are installed to replace
them. The roadbed up the valley, too,
has largely been replaced by pilng, over

is known as the "big fill, this side the
tunnel.
For the present trains from Manning
to Colfax will probably be pulled in by
steam, the resetting and rearrangement
OF poles to carry the trolly line being an
after consideration. This will enable
cars to reach here several days sooner
than otherwise could possibly be the
case.
Cars will probably land passengers at
the "old stand" on a platform, the depot
having departed to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns. Selah
Terminal depot facilities is a matter for
the future, in which rail way officials and
the citizens will probably get together
and solve the problem. The Inland peo.
pie are anxious to see cars moving this
way once more, and Colfax is anxious to
see them move in.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
Exhibit in CoIfax This Week by Gar
field and PaIouse Schools.

As an example OF what can be done
through teaching domestic science in the
public schools the exhibit placed in the
county superintendent's office this week,
during the session of the county insti-
tute, is directly in point. The exhibit
was placed there by the schools OF Gar
field and Palouse, each of which has a
domestic science department under a
has charge OF this department of the
Garfield school. The exhibit consists
mostly of needle work, of numerous
articles both ornamental and useful, the
work OF the scholars from the fourth
grade up, as well as specimens OF darn.
ing, patching, designing and other work
OF practical nature, that is certainly
useful for the young people to be ac-
quainted with. Many articles are placed
on exhibit simply to show what can be
done, while Others are intended for wear
or use in the home, and, of course, will
be kept by those who made them. The
material entering into the makeup of the
last named is furnished by the pupils
themselves, while that intended for ex-
hibit the material is provided by the
district, which is a nominal sum, amount
ing to about $15 in the Garfield school
and about $25 in the Palouse school
during the year. 1t is the intention. so
we are informed, TO add cooking in both
these schools in the near future, and if
the showing,in good things to eat is as
attractive as the needle work on exhibi-
tion there will be something doing in the
eating line one OF these days.
The exhibit above mentioned is attract
ing a good deal of attention, and as
deeds, not promises, count, the young
people of Garfield and Palouse, as well
as their instructors, have reason to feel
proud OF the progress made in domestic
science

Asks Big Damages.

Complaint was filed in the superior
court Wednesday by Ira Fields and wife
against John Klemgard and Charles
Kellogg of Pullman claiming damages in
the sum of S39,325. This claim comes
out Of proceeding that occurred Octo.
ber 8, 1908, on a farm near Pullman,
when defendants tried to regain posses
sion Of premises occupied By plaintiffs
and a transforming proceeding took
place, participated in by a "mob," as
alleged in the complaint, led by Klein
gard and Kellogg. The occurrence oc-
cupied much space in the papers at the
time.

have given over everything to satisfy the
claims Of the bank, and commences life
anew to recoup his financial fortunes.
Experts have been working on the
books of the Palouse State Bank for
some time, and the statement is given
out that the books we're found in such
condition that the public prose
cutor was warranted in ordering war
rants issued for the arrests named.
The matter will come up for official in
vestigation in due time, which should be
thorough and without prejudice, so that
the public may know all the facts. This
will probably be done.

Third Annual Horse Show.

Third annual horse show will be held
in Colfax on Saturday, April 30. Marion
Freeman, George Palmer and A. NJ.
Phillips have been appointed a commit
tee of arrangements, and A. NJ. Moffatt,
George W. Larue and Charles E. Scriber
was the committee named to finance the
show. The horse show last year was
held April 10, but it proved to be a
rainy day, and acted somewhat as wet
blanket on the attendance, albeit large
number of horses were in line and many
people witnessed the parade. By post
poning it to the both fair weather is as
sured, prime factor in a horse show.
Everything points to larger number of
prize winning horses here at that time
than ever before, so people who attend
will have chance to see the best.

Perkins told something OF the duties
and powers of the first school board OF
the county, of which be was a member.
Along the line of school work OF today
he impressed upon the teachers the grow
ing demand in the world at large for in
tegrity, and urged upon them strongly
the necessity Of making those principles
vital part of their teaching, both by
word and example. He closed his ad-
dress with most cordial welcome to { he
teachers to any and all of the Colfax
homes.
In his response, in behalf OF the
teachers, Superintendent Charles Henry

Colfax people, who have not only sue

Judge Henry W. Garfield. in speaking
OF the relation OF the Juvenile Court to
the Public Schools" gave many practi-

often, with medical aid, be removed. He
finds that the delinquent in many cases.
if placed in proper environment and
care, among proper associates for a
period OF probation, may often be re-
formed without undergoing the rigid
discipline of the state training school,
In conclusion, he spoke of the great need
OF good homes which might be open to
some of these boys and girls, who have
to be taken from degrading environment,
or who are left orphans and homeless,
and need helpful home influences in order
to become strong men and women.

EXCHANGE OF UMP1REs.
Leagues Arranging to Have Extra
Officials to Help Out.

PITTSBURG, December 26.-Quite a
number of the minor leagues are now
considering the matter of pooling issues
to a certain extent on umpires to assist
each other quickly in case of illness or
accident to any of the regular staff. 1t
is the idea as now figured to have any
of the leagues now being considered to
have the call on the league nearest to it
for an umpire in case anything happens
to one of its own umpires. For this
purpose each Of the leagues will pay half
the expenses Of at least one more UNI
pire than 1t now has under consideration,
or making one additional umpire to each
two leagues IL possible. President George
L. Moreland of the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania League, who has the matter under
consideration. said last might:
There Is SO much trouble when two
players are appointed tos umpire a game
that the additional umpire will be most
welcome. If leagues join and an umpire
is i'll in one league the president of that
league president for help, and the umpire
nearest the distressed league will move
over and help out. We are now working
out the details, but think one extra UNI
pire for each eight clubs will do nicely"
Among the leagues which Moreland
says are considering the matter are the
Tri-State. Virginia Valley, Three Eye.
Western. Central, South Atlantic, Blue
Grass. Minnesota Wisconsin,, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Central Association, Ohio State
League. Illinois Missouri and the 1ndf-
ana Michigan, in addition to the Ohio and

Every few weeks since Jack johnson
defeated Tommy Burns in Australia two
years ago today reports have been COM

young heavyweights who are going to go

and their struggles to get into the front
rank that 1 will deal.
Look over the early records of all the
great fighters-and l do not refer to the
heavyweight class alone-and You will
see that. with very few exceptions, they
amounted to very little until after they
had been boxing for from two to ten
years.
For instance, Jeffries wasn't any won

for four or five years and he knew very
little about the fine points Of the game
at that time. He was a big, slow,
clumsy swinger. But after a year or %
