The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1911-06-02

Many were the disappointed ana many
we're the happy ones over the result on
the local diamond. Weather conditions
were perfect and vast thrOng gathered
to witness the combat between the two
teams.
The first appearance OF the newly or.
ganized band added considerable interest
to the occasion.
1t was near the hour OF O'Clock when
Umpire Paul Pattison announced the
batteries for the opposing teams, and in
short time the fun began. 1t wes
evident from the start that the Pullman
boys we're clever manipulators with the
batting stick, and they never failed TO
sustain this reputation throughout the
game. On the other hand the home
team showed a weakness in batting and
this, combined with several costly errors,
spelled their defeat in plain letters The
score was not large, and considerable
interest was manifested when Cofax
tied the score il the seventh inning. At
this period Pullman installed a new
pitcher who finished the game without
giving the Colfax boys another score,
but the Pullman aggregation were more
successful and succeeded in gaining one
run in the eighth inning, which could
not be overcome and the game went
glimmering to the boys from the college
town.
While the result OF this game was in
favor OF Pullman it can be truthfulIv
said that Colfax should have carried off
the honors il the proper Judgment had
been exercised and bad decision elimi-
mated. The first slab artist for Pullman
had no more control over a thrown ball
than Jack johnson has over an auto
mobile, but it was apparent that his
tactics in either hitting or deceiving the
local team were fruitful, for the average
Colfax player appeared to show such
cheerful signs OF his escape of not being
hit with the ball that he would take
chances on the next one, if it be over his
head or on the ground.
Taken as a whole the game was inter
esting as well as amusing at times, and
we hope to meet the Pullman players
again-but with more satisfactory re-
suits.

Anent Nomadic Merchants.

1t is held by the state tax commission
that if merchant takes his stock of
goods into a town and remains there
but a short time his stock can be as
sessed and taxes collected.
The state tax commission also lays
down in a letter written to the sheriff of
Kittitas county at Ellensburg the pro-.
cedure for the collection OF the taxes
levied upon personal property which has
been removed from the county before it
can be distrained. In case the sheriff
fails to find it he is to notify the treas
urer, who then certifies the amount due
to the treasurer of the county in which
the property is located, and he in turn
notifies the sheriff of that county who
is to distrain the property.

The CoIfax Brass Band,

An interesting feature OF the days
events was the first public appearance Of
the new COlfax band. Several patriotic
citizens, musically inclined, came to the
conclusion that COliax had been without
a band long enough, and conceived the
getting together" idea among former
musicians and having a band. 1t was
found that fully 20 could be gotten to.
gether, and although ont OF practice
and all being men Of affairs, with some.
thing to do, none the less they met once
a week for rehearsal, with the result that
we have brass band OF 20 pieces that
s the JOY OF our hearts.
The band played several pieces on
Main street Tuesday afternoon and then
went to the baseball park and enlivened
the occasion there with music. Consid-
eriDg the brief time they have been
playing together the members OF the
band are to be congratulated. 1t is not
the intention to go outside of Colfax to
play. 1t is a patriotic desire to have a
band here, coupled with the liking for
the refining Influences OF music. The
band has been invited, however, to at
tend the ElbertOn Picnic on Coliax Day
and furnish music, and il the members
can leave their accustomed places of
business on that date the invitation
may be accepted.

Two farmers we're not long
since discussing their local
paper. One thought it had too
many advertisements in it. The
other replied IN my opinion
the adverti-. menus are far from
being the least valuable part of
1t. look them nv4c carefully
and save at least five times the
cost of the paper each week
through the business advan-
tages ! get from them"
Said the other: 81 believe
you are right / know that
they pay me we'll and rather
think that it is not good taste
to find fault with the adver-
tisements after ALI" Those
men have the right idea of the
matter. It pays any man with
q family to take a good local
newspaper for the sake of the
advertisements if nothing more.
And if business men fail to give
farmers q chance for adver-
tisement in the local paper,
they are blind to their own in
terests, to say the least Of it.
"You never trade with me-"
said q business man to a pros.
porous farmer. "You have
never yet invited me to your
place of BUSINESS and l never
go where | am not invited; l
might not be welcome" was
his reply.

Baby Party

Bessie and Donald Annis
were hosts to abeut twenty
five of their young friends last
evening at the beautiful coun-
try home of Mr.. md Mrs. A.
D. Annis west of the city. Each
guest was to dress in a baby
costume but some of them look
ed worse than any baby you
ever saw in your widest
dreams. The happy youngsters
met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. M. Carlisle ard
were taken to the Annis
home in automobiles where the
fun commenced. The idea Of
the baby party was carried out
in everything and to say a good
time was enjoyed by all but
half expresses it. All the
games of childhood were enjoy
ed to the fullest extent and it
was a late hour before the
tired but happy crowd returned
to the city.

Making Progress

In the house of representa-
tives last Thursday Mr.. Little
page of West Virginia inserted
a speech in the Congressional
Record which was not deliver
ed in the house. Fourteen
times the word applause" was
inserted and in one, place the
house, which did not hear the
speech at all, was recorded as
giving cloud applause to one
sentiment expressed by the
representative from. West Vir-
GINA.
A motion to correct the re-
cord was voted down, III to
122. 1t is not a surprising
thing that the house should
give its sanction to this old
practice of deception. The
really surprising thing is that
as many as l22 members Of
that body could consistently
vote against it. It shows that
the house is making progress
toward the abolition of a Gus
tom that has made the Congress
sional Record a national joke

Last year there died in the

Multiply this number by three

dia's population to our own, and
you will find that these terrible
figures covering the loss of life
from the plague in India, when
analized, show that out of a
thousand men women and child
