PRIVATE WATER SUPPLY.
Extensive improvements Planned
for South End Property.

). E. Hunt, prosperous ex-farmer,
who has bought large amount of resi-
dence property in Colfax, is now planning
an extensive improvement to that part
OF his property situated on South
Meadow street. This property contains
four residences and it is Mr.. Hunts plan
to establish his own water system for
these houses and for lawns and gardens
He is boring well. which is now down
about $50 feet deep, and is early full Of
water, having struck a splendid flow, but
will sink it still further in order to get an
abundant supply. He will construct a
10000 gallon concrete reservoir on the
bill alb I'VE the well, and the water will be
pumped to it by windmill. gasoline
engine or an electric motor. From the
reservoir pipes will lead to all the resi-
dences and yards and be expects to have
an abundant supply of good water.

Delinquent Personal Taxes.

The county treasurer has turned over
to the sheriff the delinquent personal
property tax lists for 1909 and 1910.
On the 1909 list there are 1856 names,
with an aggregate amount OF tax Of
So ,406 Sc, which draws interest at Is
per cent from March Z, 1910. On the
1910 list there are $50 names, with an
aggregate amount OF tax of $S,176.81,
which draws interest at 15 per cent from
March 10, 1911. The sheriff is directed
by law to distrain property to pay this
tax at once, but is sending out notices
to delinquents in order that they may
save the cost of levy and sale, before
making the distraint procedure: Inter-
ested parties can save costs by taking
advantage of the sheriff's notice and
paying at once.
People are sending in taxes in some
instances little shUrt; they would save
considerable annoyance by remitting an
excess rather than a shortage, as re-
ceipts cannot be issued except for the full
amount due.

THE ANNUAL HORSE SHOW
To Be Held in CoIfax on Saturday,
April 9th.


April 9Th.
The fifth annual horee show is sched-
uled for Saturday, April 8, and as the
committee has been working hard to
make it success nc doubt the event
will be better than ever before. The
different committees all report every
thing in readiness, and some horses are
already here. There is expected to be
at least 100 head of the finest thorough
breds in the parade, which will certainly
include the tiuest driving horse and the
heaviest draft animal.
The Pullman band has been engaged
for the occasion and will lead the pa
rade, which starts from the court house
at 1 O'Clock in the afternoon. The
bard will also play several concerts
throughout the day, and as it is an ex-
cellent organization we may expect some
good entertainment from them.
The committee desires it announced
that all horses brought to the show will
be cared for at any livery stable in town
free of charge, and cordially invites all
horsemen to bring their stock. A cor
dial invitation is also extended generally
to the citizens OF Whitman county to
visit US on that day and see the great
est display OF horse flesh ever exhibited
in Whitman county. John C. Wicks is
marshal OF the day.

REDUCED RATES TO EAST
All TranscontinsntaI Roads Makinq
Special Rates for Summer,

The transcOntinental railroads are all
making round trip teachers rates to the
east and also to various conventions to
be held throughout the summer. The
selling time for these tickets has been
named by the different roads. All Jour
neys must be begun on day OF sale, with
going limit OF 15 days, with stop over
privileges within that limit Anywhere
west OF Chicago. The return limit on
all these tickets has been fixed at Octo-
Der 81. The rates offered to various
cities are exceptionally low being similar
to those offered last year, and no doubt
will be taken advantage of by large
mum bers of people who desire to visit
eastern cities.

1O:3O-"What Children are Like" DR..
Z. o Sisson, U. of W.
He said in part: If one we're to ask
thousand teachers what are children like,
here are some OF the adiectives that would
be used in describing them; restless, in
quisitive, mischievous, meddling, mimic,
wilful, pugnacious and noisy. Activity
is necessary to growth. The non-active
child ia not going to make a live OF 1t.
The mind of the child is very active
The child who does not ask thousands
OF questions will not be fully Intelligent.
The questioning impulse is not a bad
thing but priceless thing. Nearly all
the meddling and mischievous acts can
be traced down to something good. The
child has a good motive. The child is
an initiating machine. Ii the child did
not have the initiating impulse he would
never learn to speak. When child is
noisy he is having good time. That
is the way be shows his JOY. Every
normal child has growing up impulse.
He wants to be older. The impulse OF
love is the basic and greatest of all. 1t
is the root of all social qualities. This
impulse must grow in conjunction with
the Others and guide them.
