MUCH WORK IN PROGRESS.
Civic improvement Idea Has Taken
Deep Boot in CoIfax.

Substantial improvements in the build.
ing line are going on in Colfax. j. P.
Llch OF the South End grocery has raised
the structure wherein is housed the
grocery store and the clothes repair
shop, making it conform to the grade OF
the street, and putting in place a con-
crete wall on which the building will rest.
A large basement is thus added which
can be used in connection with the
grocery business.
The building being erected by NJ. Free
man at the head of Spring street for a.
livery, feed and sale stable. is a ponder
Gus affair nearing completion. The
building is practically new from end to
end, although the fronts of the former
Willis poultry depot and the store build
ing adjoining on the south have been re-
tained in part, which are all right for
the uses needed. The new building runs
back to the base OF the hill, which was
excavated several feet to make things
level. The barn when completed will be
large and uptO-date, nice home for
the equines to be housed therein.
Brick laying is going on with rush
on the new M. Z. church building. The
frame work is about complete to the top
OF the cupOla, the brick work being in
the shape OF veneer, which will answer
the purpose just as we'll as a solid brick
wall. The building rests on heavy
rock wall, making a basement that will
be put to divers uses. The brick being
laid comes from Freeman, between here
and Spokane. The bell that did service
in the old building will be put in place in
the new cupOla next week, it having a
clear, sweet tone, and will continue in
future, as in the past, to call the faithful
to the house OF worship. We feel like
eXclaiming with Tom Moore:
Those evening bells, those evening bells,
How many tale their music tells,
OF life aud youth, and that sweet time
When last we heard their evening chime.
The building being erected by Dick
Reid on Main street, next to the Codd
brick, of concrete blocks, has passed the
basement period and will soon assume
shape. While not large, having 'front.'
age of 25 feet. the building will cost
about $4,000, but is being put up as a
fixture.
improvements OF lees notable char
acter are in progress in other parts OF
the city.

BROWNS WHEAT LOADER.
Does Away With Back Breaking
Process Now in VOGUE.


Eugene Brown has patented what he
calls wheat loader" which does away
with the loading of wheat in sacks by
hand, a back breaking process that tries
the endurance of the most muscular
With Mr.. Browns invention a Is year
old boy can load a wagon with grain
without arduous labor and in less time
than it can be done by hand.
The wheat loader weighs between 40
and so pounds. 1t is fastened to the
rack of the wagon, on either side or at
the end, and is adiustible so as to fit
any thickness of the wagon bed. 1t can
be attached in less than FIVE minutes,
and taken down in two parts il desired
in the same length Of time. A rope or
cable runs through two pulleys, one at
each end of a crane, which, turned by a
crank, pulls the sack OF wheat clssped
by pair of tongs to the height desired,
which can be swung either right or left
and the sack deposited where wanted.
withal 80 devoid OF the back breaking
labor that follows the handling OF wheat
by hand, that it will probably be uni
versally adopted as soon as the con-
trivance is thrown upon the market. 1t
is capable of lifting 800 pounds and its
cost is only $25.
The use of the little mechanical device
is not confined to loading q wagon with
grain. A 300 pound porker can be lifted
into place just as easily as can sack OF
wheat.
Drop in and see Mr.. Browns unique
mechanical device which he calls q
wheat loader"
