plant. The heat is piped to the different
houses and paid for monthly in the same
manner as gas or water. The success of
the central heating plant is no longer
open to question, and the newest develop
ment in this direction is the passage Of
heat from one town to another several
miles distant
A plant now under construction in Utah
has underground conduits which will con-
duct heat about three miles distant to
the central part of Salt Lake City, where
IT is to be supplied to the Hotel Utah, the
Deseret News building, the Temple the
Tabernacle and most Of the other impor-
tant buildings Of the city. The expense
OF this plant Is to be $4,000. and it will
be in operation very soon. A number of
towns combine heating and lighting with
the power which supplies the street car
service. Manchester Iowa. and EyeIand,
Mimi, are doing this with good results.
Several heating companies located i'm
Chicago are furnishing heat to small
towns ten or twelve miles away

OLYMPIA GETS WRONG TIP.
Typographical Error Puts Whitman
Commissioners in Bad Light.

ln the official county commissioners
proceedings published last week an error
IN figures made it appear that more than
$264O had been refunded for taxes when
the correct figures were 50 64.
The error occurred under the head
Orders as to Taxes" The third para
graph should have read, Lots 3 and 6,
block 6, Proff's second addition to
Rosalia appearing to be outside corporate
limits, city tax for the year 1909, 50 "a,
having been paid by r. F. B0werman,
was ordered refunded" The error made
it appear that s., GA had been ordered
refunded.
An Olympia correspondent in going
over the proceedings found what he be
lieved to be gross violation OF law and
sent the following dispatch to the Sun
day Spokesman Review:
Whitman county commissioners are
getting in bad, according to report of a
recent commissioners meeting which
reached here today. This report shows
that the commissioners this month ord
cred cancellation of a number OF taxes
and tax refunds OF considerable amount.
The attorney general has ruled a num-
Der OF times that the county commits
sioners are without authority in law to
cancel or refund taxes and has suggested
that county treasurers who put out
money on these illegal orders of refund
may find themselves held liable for the
payment as a shortage.
The com missioners' reports show that
the Whitman county board ordered
$2644 refunded to B. F. Bowerman for
taxes paid for 1909 on lots in an addi-
ton to Rosalia, which property it was
later discovered was outside OF the city
limits
Attention was called here today to the
fact that the county treasurer is simply
an agent in the collection of city taxes
and that neither the treasurer nor the
commissioners have anything to do with
the refunding OF city taxes.
This illegal cancellation and refundng
of taxes has been generally done through
out the state and the state officials are
determined to put a stop to it. The at
torney general claims the only sale and
legal way for the county officials to pro-
ceed is to require that a suit be brought
against the county and a decree entered
in the superior court, as otherwise the
treasurer will be liable on his bond.

have to complete that sentence and in
addition there are three separate charges
of burglary lodged against him for bis
little fling with the Eberton people.
Under an assumed name Kitterman
expressed part of the plunder to Spo-
kane from Garfield. At the Garfield ex-
press office be signed his name as James
Harrington, shipping the stuff to John
Harrington at Spokane. He then went
to Spokane and claimed the package
addressed to John. Cole was close on
the trail and followed kitterman to the
home OF bis mother and step father near
Spokane and placed the young man
under arrest. When arrested kitterman

Interest in Loon Lake.

Charles Lichfeld of Spokane paid our
city visit this week and in company
with NJ. j. Maloney called upon several
of our lake going citizens with a view to
getting some OF them to join the Loon
Lake Outing club. Loon lake is the
largest body of warm water west OF the
Rocky mountains containing 1900 acres.
The club is making it very attractive
place. Arrangements are being made for
running water under pressure. Half the
grounds are devoted to amusements and
contain ball park, dance pavilion,
band stand and all the other amuse-
ments OF a live summer resort.

Colfax Wins Again.

Baseball enthusiasts missed one OF the
best games Of the season when they
Jailed to see Colfax trim Endicott on the
local diamond Wednesday afternoon by
a score OF . to 4. The game was ar
ranged too late for extensive advertising
consequently the crowd was small and
for the frst time the club failed to make
expenses. The game was a fast one.
The good fielding of Colfax and the
pitching OF Marsh for Endicott kept the
score down. If Coliax can hold on to
their winning streak there will be a merry
chase Tor that pennanu. Batteries,
Goetz and Stapleton for Colfax; Marsh
and Berry for Endicott. Umpire, Deacon,

More interesting events and contests
have been added to the long list of at
fractions for the Grange and Pioneer
picnic which opens on the Colfax fair
grounds Saturday, July l, and continues
for four days. With good weather the

of this nature. Campers by the hundred
will arrive early to secure the best loca-

day crowd will remain until after the
close OF the picnic.
Every effort will be made by the people
Of COlfax to make the visitors welcome

The. Inland people have promised
to put extra cara on the regular trains
to assist in getting the crowds to and

of Moscow, owners Of the Colfax Touring
mill, were in this city the latter part OF
last week and decided to put an addi-

The main grain warehouse 5Ox100 feet
will be built on the other side of the
spur on land purchased from the Pot
latch people. grain conveyor will con-
meet the warehouse and mill and the
labor of hauling will be eliminated.
Work on the Improvement will be started
at once.
1t is the intention Of the company to
increase the capacity OF the mill about
rs barrels in the near future The in
creasing demand for their -four has made
the addition practically necessity.
