THANKSGIVING IN PALOUSE
Plenty, Good Cheer. Good Fellow
ship, Happiness Ahounds.

Thanksgiving was duly observed in
Coliax. Probably no one in the city,
whether citizen or stranger, but sat
down to a bountiful repast and par
took of the good things to eat. All
hotels, restaurants and private board
ing houses provided plenty and to spare,
while many family gatherings and re-
unions were noted, where good cheer,
good fellowship, and love and affection
were the predominating features. This
may not be a land overfowing with milk
and honey. to use the proverbial saying,
but it is land of plenty, where, in the
fulness of time, all can enjoy peace and
bask in the sunshine OF happiness. Thus
We have much to be thankful for.
OF good things to eat the market was
loaded to the gunWales with everything
it was simply a question of ordering
what you wanted. Neither were prices
prOhibitive. Turkeys retailed at %
cents pound; geese, II cents; ducks,
20 cents; hens, 16 cents; chickens, 18
cents. This was a trife lower then
reckoned on several days before Thanks
giving, but there seems to be a rift 10
the clouds SO far as high p.icee are con-
cerned, which is another thing to be
thankful for.
The religious features belonging to
the day were not forgotten. They we're
full, loud and expressive, q worthy re
sponse TO the feelings which prompted
the observance of the day by the Pilgrim
Fathers, which has become one OF the
main arteries in the anatomy Of the
nation and has spread to the four cor
ners Of the earth.
Thanksgiving, 1910, OF blessed men,

obeisance in honor Of thy departurt

take charge of the properties OF the
Durham Collieries, being an old-time coal
miner and urged to do so by those inter
ested in the mines living in the Palouse.
The Crows Nest country, OF which Leth-
bridge and Durham Galleries are located
on the eastern border, has probably the
greatest coal deposits OF any region on
the North American continent, it not
being question OF coal, but how to
proftably mine and ship the product.
Many people hereabouts are interested in
Durham Galleries.

Grain Quotations.
Bungalow Nearing comp pletion.

The beautiful brick bungalow CT Mr.
and Mrs. Matt Johnson on James street
in the south end is nearing completion,
and is one Of the cosiest, most comfort
able and artistic homes in the city. The
architecture is pleasing and the arrange
ment unique. Although but one story
there are nine rOoms-fve down stairs
and four up stairs. This may seem like
a contradiction of terms, but it's the
truth. The roof, which is steep, has
been arranged so as to supply four
rooms, which are up stairs in the one
story building, the down stairs rooms
being large, with high ceilings and con-
veniently arranged. A house warming
will probably soon be in order. The
young couple are to be congratulated
on their beautiful new home.

H0! FOR KLAMATH FALLS.
A Region of Wealth and Beauty
Enjoying Great Prosperity.

Seymour Manning and John Barger OF
Coifax, James Benton OF La Crosse and
TGomas Matlock of Pullman are Pa
lousers who will leave here about the
2Oth OF next month for Klemath Falls,
Southeastern Oregon, TO look at the
country, mayhap TO locate in business.
Klamath Falls, from all accounts, is en-
JoyIDg remarkable growth. Since the
railroad penetrated that region it has
taken on new life. A $4,000 depot is
nearing completion. Machine shops are
under construction, Another railway
line is heading that way. We are told
that the denizens of that burg expect to
have $4,000 people by 1915. That is
going some If it materializes. Property
Is worth on the main thoroughiare 5000
a front loot. Scores of buildings are
under construction. j. B. Johnson OF
Coifax, who is there at this writing and
has son in the photograph business
there, is much impressed with the possi-
bllities and greatness OF the country,
but advises all who think favorably of
the country to go and Judge for them
selves
klamath Falls is favored by nature in
many respects. Aside from the oppor-
tuDities TO engage in agriculture, one OF
the finest belts OF sugar pine timber on
the Pacific coast Ellis the great klamath

value. klamath lake ia a large body OF
water navigahle for 40 miles. Crater
Lake, ooe OF the great wonders OF the
world, is only distant 50 miles from
klamath Falls. Il can be reached by
steamboat and automobile, it being a
joy ride the entire distance from Klamath

EIberton Is All RIG ht.

The county poor farm ar Eiberton is
to be abandoned about April l. The
new poor farm at CoIfax is almost ready
for occupancy. The farm at Elberton
will be sold probably at auction early in
the spring. With the removal OF the
poor farm Elberton loses one of it's prin-
cipal industries" but it enjoys the dis
tinction OF having the largest prune
dryer IN the world and is noted for being
the heaviest shipping point for prunes,
direct from the grower, in the west. Be-
sides it has large -four mill and is

PaIouse Is Great Apple Country.

The Burrell Investment Co. has shipped
east AZ carloads of apples from the 22O-
acre orchard at Diamond, and expect to
increase this five more cars before the
close of the season. As each car holds
$40 boxes apples it will be seen that
when the complement is completed the
company will have shipped about 20, 40
boxes OF the king OF fruits. This does
not represent the entire yield OF the
Burrell orchard at Diamond, as the
culls (anything that has the least mar of
beauty or OF flesh is Gully would prob
ably fill as many more boxes. The Pa

COLFAX AGAINST ENDlCOTT.
Football Game Played Last Satur-
day in the Dark.

The football season closed last Satur-
day with the game with Endicott. This
was an easy victory for Colfax, although
the Endicott boys put up good fight.
The Soo-Spokane was two hours late,
which delayed the game until nearly
dark, as the Endicott eleven arrived on
that train. They we're dressed for action
when they stepped off the train, and as
soon as they got to the field the game
was called. The greater part of the
game was played in the dark, and it
was impossible to see the plays. The
game was divided into two 20 minute
halves on account OF the darkness.
Stapleton, Cox, Hargrave and Ettinger
succeeded in crossing Endicott's goal lire
in the short time; Goff, Gidsell three
goals; making the final score % to O. 3

MANUFACTURES ROYAL
ROSE BRAND FLOUR
Colfax Milling Company Doing
Land Office Business.
Mill Unders ding Repairs as Well as
Receiving Improved Machinery
Large Quantities OF Flour Sent to
San Francisco and the Orient.

The Colfax Milling Co., which manufac-
lures the celebrated Royal Rose brand
OF -four. has it's mill closed down this
week on account of extensive repairs and
improvements. A new boiler is being
put in place in the basement for steam
ing barley, and new feed mill, larger
! than the old one, is also being installed.
The greatest Improvement, however, in
connection with the mill is the rebuilding
OF the dam On the North Palouse above
town, and repairing the mill race leading
from the dam to the mill This latter
work is now going on, cement lining be-
ing used in divers places to prevent all
possibility OF leakage. There is little
danger now of the dam being washed
out. 1t is practically new, at least two
thirds OF 1T having been rebuilt. Big
timbers were used in its construction,
filled in with rock. Ii took $50, 900 feet
of lumber to finish the job.
Mill Runs Day and Night.
The mill most Of the time is running
dey and night. Besides the large local
trade-which means CoIfax and ali the
nearby towns-mixed cars are sent to
Spokane, the Coeur d'Alenes, even to the
Willamette valley, our hard wheat -four
being in demand there at times. Large
cOnsignments of -four go to San Fran
cisco and the Orient, which, in fact,
takes the greater part OF the -four man
ufactured here. Orders are in now
enough to take all the mill can grind for
the next two months This, of course,
goes in specially labeled sacks, that to
the Orient bearing Chinese characters
The mill has capacity of $50 barrels a
day.
Side Track Leading to Mill.
A side track leading from the turn
table just above the o. R. & n. depot
will soon be built to the mill, franchise
having been granted by the city council
at its last regular meeting. When this
is completed -four will be loaded direct
from the mIll to the cars, an added con-
venience over the present method OF
hauling -four by team across the river
and putting it in cars at the freight
depot.
