improve the property belonging To the

ing reported that the Nyrick property

offered to do the work for $67 7,SO6.

The council, by vote of 5 to 2, de-
cided to accept the bid for bitulithic
pavement, which includes the two i'm
prOvement distrcts embraced in Main

COuncilmen Perrine and Kirkland were
the two who voted against the bitulithic
bid.

fill in behind it, making Cooper street

Gazette has heretofore urged that this
work be done.
In the matter OF making certain i'm
provements in Browns addition, the city
engineer in making surveys found things
in some what muddled condition, and
it was decided by the council to place
the matter in the hands OF the city en-

COLFAX VS.. PULLMAN
ON LOCAL DIAMOND
Score Stood 3 to 2---Game Fast
and Exciting.
Colfax Goes to Pullman Next Sun
day to Play Last League Game of
the Season With the Boosters--
Three Teams Closely Bunehea.

In the best played game OF ball OF the
season Colfax trimmed Pullman on the
local diamond last Sunday 3 TO 2. The
game was fast and exciting throughout,
and was anybody's game until the last
man was out in the ninth inning. Feat
ures OF the game were the work Of both
pitchers and a running catch in the Sth
by Graves when he picked one out OF the
grass roots that looked like a sure two
bagger.
Pullman scored in the second when
Thorpe, first man up, hit safe, stole
second and scored on Noes two sacker,
and again in the fifth when Tulley hit
safe, went TO third on Sangers' single and
scored on Casad's infield hit. The
Boosters scored on the only two oppor-
tunities they had, for outside OF the
second and fifth they went out in one,
two, three order.
Colfax scored three runs in the fifth
first man up singled, Canatt hit one to
Casad who booted the ball, and both
come home on Wynne's two sacker,
Wynne going to third on passed ball
and scoring on a wild pitch.
On account of the games at the Elber-
ton picnic COlfax had to secure the
services Of an outside pitcher in order
not TO overwOrk Hamblen. Cadore, the
star pitcher OF the Spokane City League,
certainly made good. Jones, the lad
that played second, has secured posi-
tiOn with the Gilbert Hunt Co. and will
play with the Cardinals for the rest OF
the season.
Next Sunday the local team goea to
Pullman to play the last league game

PALESTINE AND HOLY LAND.
Subject of Lecture Tuesday Night
by Rev. j. G. Robinson.

A lair sized audience greeted Rev. J. q.
Robinson, rector of Good Samaritan
Episcopal church, on Tuesday evening,
TO listen TO his address on Palestine and
the Holy Land. The address was Illus
trated by stereOpticon views, the pic
lures in most part being taken by MIR.
Robinson in his travels through the
Holy Land several years ago. The ad.
formal talk, the speaker pointing out
and explaining in detail the various
points of interest as progress was made
through Palestine and the Holy Land.
Thus light was thrown on and clearer
insight given OF many things connected
with the subject matter, albeit MIR. Rob.
ing full understanding of the land in
which Christ dWelt, as CLEANED from the
books But here stood man who spent
several months in visiting every part OF
the Holy Land. telling of many things
not found N the books. Aside from the
lantern slides q topographic map Of
the country was shown, giving the au-
dience a clearer insight into the charac-
ter of the country, hill, mountain, valley
and gorge being pointed out and clearly
understood. Thus the great depth Of
the Dead Sea, and the utter desolation
surrounding it was apparent az glance.
The Dead Sea is about 80 miles long and
is 1900 feet below the surface o. the
ocean. Desolation reigns supreme
MIR. Robinson turned aside from the
lantern slides for a few minutes and
showed several articles of wearing ap-
parel as worn by the inhabitants Of the
Holy Land at this time. Asking &. J.
v ilcox to come forward, MIR. Robinson
soon had him dressed as q Mohamme
dan, much to the amusement OF the
audience. Many other articles used in
the daily life of the people OF that far
away country we're shown, some OF them
beautiful in make, all interesting to look
at.
Those who failed to attend Tuesday
night missed an interesting and instruc-
tive lecture. Perhaps Mr.. Robinson may
be induced to repeat it. Ii SO he will
probably get full house.
