WIFE DESERTER IS HERE
C. O. Lee, Formerly of Pullman,
Brought From Tacoma.

The Tacoma News Of last Saturday,
under the heading OF Another Woman"
says that &C. o. Lee, waiter at the
Annex cafe, was arrested on Pacific
avenue last night by Detectives Ashby
and Milo1e and Patrolman Modahl, who
held a warrant charging him with hav.
ing deserted his wife in Pullman, Whit
man county, three years ago. Deputy
Sheriff Cole OF Whitman county arrived
in the city last night to take the prisoner
east for trial. Lee was crossing Pacific
avenue in company with young woman
friend when the officers walked up behind
him and placed him under arrest. He
was completely surprised and nearly
broke down at the unexpected arrest"
Deputy Cole returned to Colfax Sunday
with his prisoner and lodged him in Jail.
Lee married Mrs. Martin in Pullman
three years ago, where both were work
ing in a hotel. A child has since been
born to them. Mrs. Lee swore to the
complaint of desertion. She is living in
Pullman in poor circumstances. Wednes-
day he was placed under $500 bonds
and relensed from Jail.
LATER Since the above was in type
Lee and his wife came to an understand
ing, he paying her a certain sum OF
money and all costs-the county being
out nothing-and at her request Justice
Doolittle dismissed the case. Thus end
eth tempest in teapot.

New Hiah School Building

1t is likely the new High school build
ing will not be ready for occupancy be-
fore early spring. The building looks
fine, inside and out, but it still needs,
and is receiving, few finishing touches,
which will be all done by the time the
furniture arrives, probably inside OF
month. Arrangements should be made
for public occasion when the building
is dedicated, which will probably be done.
It will fill long felt want.

Minina in Old Mexico.

Word has just been received in Colfax
that big ore shoot, assaying from $12O
to 1922 per ton in gold and silver, has
been uncovered at the Matarana mine,
situated on the Jolapa river, about 200
miles northwest of the City OF Mexico in
Old Mexico. This is interesting news
from the fact that several citizens OF Col
fax and of Whitman county are inter
ested in the Matarana mine, who will be
pleased to learn that results are likely to
flow from their investments. According
to the mining history OF Mexico the
Matarana is one of the Oldest of the
producing mines OF that country. 1t
was abandoned for many years, but was
acquired by the present company in
1908. American capital, push and en-
ergy seems likely to bring results.

Looks Promising for Alkan Flat.

Philip W. Cox returned Monday from
his farm near Hay, and reports the out
look promising for big crops in that sec
ton this season. The frost is entirely
out OF the ground, hence recent rains
come at an oppOrtune time, the water
penetrating the ground instead OF run
ming off. There being no clay subsOil in
that section of the country the earth
absorbs moisture readily, holding it for
the warm days OF summer.

Several Big Contracts Let.

1t should be stated in this connection
that the contract for the new bridge
across Chimacum creek, to cost $40, 900,
has been let. This bridge leads direct to
the new addition OF 40 acres just plated
to be known as RatIiff addition, which
may be of special interest to Whitman
county people. Contracts have been let
for the grading OF Moore and Price
streets, the two main thoroughfares of
the embryo city, also for putting in a
new city dock, and, best OF all, contracts
have been let for two more open hearth
furnaces to cost $15O,O0O. Mr.. Law,
vice-president of the Western Steel Cor
poration. is authority for the statement
that the plant will be increased right
along until it reaches seven times its
present capacity.
There is DO reason why the industries
mentioned above should not prosper and
grow. What the Pacific coast needs is
lust such industries, and we will not
come into our own until more are estab-
lished. Those wishing TO invest in real
estate should study the conditions, and
being convinced of the fulfillment OF the
promises made can afford to take
chances. G. 5. Clarke.
