MANY CITIES ENTER
IN GL|DDEN TROPHY
Countrywide Complexion Evil
dent in Big Automo-
bile Classic.

Never in the history of the American
Automobile Associations tours has there
been such countrywide complexion to
the entry list as is accommodating for the
event to start in Detroit, Mich, October
Z, and conclude in New Orleans, La. DC
tober 10. Teams for the famous Gl.dden
| trophy are already assured from Boston.
Detroit, New Orleans and Jacksonville.
Many Of the cities along the route will
announce their teams in the near future,
| and 1t is not improbable that fully a
score will be involved.
The national tour committee, OF which
Dr. c. E. Dutton Of Minneapolis is chair
man, has appointed the following night
stops: Fort Wayne, Ind; Indianapolis
Ind; Louisville, KY; Mammoth Cave,
Ky; Nashville, Tenn; Sheffield, Ala. !:
Rogers Springs, Tenn: Memphis, Tenn.
Greenwood Miss; Vicksburg, Miss; Mag
nol.a Miss; Baton Rouge, La, and New
Orleans, La.
To Inspect Lincoln Memorial.
1t has been arranged to have the noon
stop the fourth day at Buffalo, Ky. The
Lincoln Home Park IS about two miles
from Buffalo, and detour will be made
and time allowed, which will permit the
tourist to inspect the beautiful memorial
building The log house in which the
martyr President was born is inclosed
within the granite building. The old
schoolhouse on Knob creek. where Lin
coin first went to school. may be seen
from the road over which the tour will
pass.
At vicksburg the tourists will have
ample time to visit the battlefieldS and
view the monuments which have been
erected by the various states and the ma
t.onal government. The Nat Onal Military
Park contains 1873 acres and pract cally
includes the battle Ines of the two ar
mics during the investment OF Vicks-
burg in 1853. The park hills overlooking
each other have been purposely kept clear
| of any timber. apd an unobstructed view
Of the whole battlefield may be had. Dur
ing the siege there was no timber ON
these hills. and such as is there now is
the growth of the Intervening years. So
many historic and beautiful places are
located along the route OF the 1912 tour
that It might aptly be called the historic
and scenic tour.
Several Changes in Rules.

The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1912-02-09

The plot of the play is based upon
the rivalry between the first two
settlements in New England. The
people or the first settlement at Ply
mouth being devout Puritans, while
the second colony, founded at Wessa-
susetts by Weston, was of men of a
Tar different type and of tempera-
ments almost opposite that of their
religious brethren. This rivalry is
carefully worked out; the thread Of
the story is most interesting; the ae-
ton proceeds rapidly and uninter-
rupted.
These college Thespians promise a
better performance in Colfax than
the one they gave in Pullman, which
was considered by the faculty and
Pullman people to be the best perfor-
nance ever staged at w. S. c., not
even excepting the caste Of "Just Out
OF College" given by the same So
ciety and later staged before a packed
house here in Colfax several years
ago. Arrangements have been made
for special car for the transporta-
ton of the scenery made especially
tor the Pullman performance, the
Puritan furniture, old spinning wheel
and forest scenes.
Elaporate costumes and special
electrical effects are other features
that will make the presentation of
the seventh annual Websterian play
IN Colfax an event worthy of patron
age by both old and young.

business lots are 25x105 feet and the
residence lots are 50x105 feet. Ad-
joining the town, $50 acres, which

tate as well as debts contracted by

Manager Frank e. William of the
Olympia theater, has written Matt
Johnson, manager of the Ridgeway,
the following letter:
81 write you a few lines to let you
know something about the Right of
Way company, that will play your
city shortly, as I am always DESTROYS
of learning anything that / can about
any attraction l might have booked,
and believe you do so. l take the
liberty of writing you that the San
ford Dodge company was a surprise
to me and I desire to say that it is
one of the strongest companies that
has played Cort's Circuit this sea-
son. My patrons have asked me to
have them return, but as he is booked
up, it is out of the question. You
cannot boost it too high, as Mr..
Dodge is without exception what the
author intended, the character should
be. I do this as the company is en-
titled to any recommendations which
cannot be made too strong. In CIV
ing them big house you will not
have to offer any apology to your
patrons.

H. S. JUNIORS Win in
CLASS TEAM MIX-UP
REGULAR TEAM WORKING HARD
FOR GAME AT PALOUSE NEXT
FRIDAY.

The scheduled games between the
Seniors and Juniors; and Sophmores
last Tuesday failed to take place be-
tween the full class teams, the
Sophmores got cold feet and showed
up minus most of their team. The
game really should have gone to the
Freshmen by default, but the Soph-
more ranks were recruited from the
Junior class and game was played,
resulting in favor of the Sophmores
and their allies by the score of IA to
il. 1t was a good fast game and, for
the most part, well played. The Ju-
nior team announced their intention
of not playing the Seniors, few
hours before the game. Men ware
put in to fill the vacant places, Freer
and Pierce of the Faculty playing
forward and center respectively. The
game then went on, but through the
individual work of Pierce and Freer
the Juniors won &c to II. The game
was fast and interesting from the
start.
Colfax high has no game this week,
but will rest and keep practicing for
the big game with Palouse High
school, which will be played at Pa
louise next Friday, February 16. A
close and very fast contest is ex-
rected and Colfax will do her best
to avenge the 3 to defeat in foot
ball. Palouse has good team, but
there is no reason why the Colfax
boys cannot win if they practice
steadily and keep their usual speed
and team work. This will be the first
game of basket ball ever played be-
tween the two schools

COLFAX Wins
IN CLEAN GAME
HARRINGTON PLAYERS STRONG
UNTIL LAST HALF.-FINAL
SCORE is 1926.

In slow but interesting game of
basket ball Colfax defeated Farming
ton High last Friday evening 1928.
The game was never fast save in the
last few minutes of the last half when
Colfax forged ahead. The home team
boys played good game but lacked
their usual snap and spirit.
Farminton won the toss and chose
the North basket. The game started
slowly, the players seemed unable to
put on their usual speed and fumbles
were frequent. After a few minutes
of play Hayfield at forward threw the
first basket of the game, for Farming
ton. Colfax got the second and the
score see-sawed back and forth,
standing $40 in favor of Farming
ton at the end of the first period.
Colfax started the second half with
rush, but before a basket was made
a foul was called and Mcqueen shot
the basket, making the score 11-9,
At this juncture Burgunder made a
good shot from the field that evened
up the score. From this time Colfax
commenced to win. Pennington play
ed hard and went ahead for a point
or two at times, but after a series of
magnificent goals from the field by
Forward Howard, the score stood 35-
% as the whistle sounded for time.
Howard played a good game in the
last half shooting five goals from the
field. His passing was good and some
of his shots were difficult. Golf played
hn in hiC
scoring goals from the floor. Hay
field did fine work for Pennington,
and Brown and Grimes at guard shot
some very pretty goals from long dis
tances. The line up and score:
Colfax-Forwards, Oliver, Howard
Burgunder; Center, Golf; Guards,
Fuller, Morrison.
Farmington-Forw Mcqueen,
Hayfeld; Gen., harrington; Guards,
Brown, Grimes.
Field Goals: Oliver 1, Burgunder
3, Howard 5, Golf Z, Grimes 2, Brown
l, Harrington 2, Hayfield 5, Nc
Queen 2.
Foul Goals: Golf 1, Howard 1, Nc
Queen f. Fouls called on Colfax 10;
on Pennington 10.
One feature of the game was the
throwing of a basket from the field
by Golf which scored points, one Of
the Pennington players fouling just
as he shot. This is the first basket
thrown in this way by one of our men
this year. The game was very clean,
the feeling between the players excel
lent and none of the fouls called
caused the slightest dispute.

Prices of Cattle Higher.

Adyices from El Paso dated May Fist. read as follows:
 Cattle are thirty per cent higher In prices this season than last. This fact was learned yesterday afternoon from one of the best au- thoritles in cattle circles through out Texas, who when asked for a reason regarding the increased prices, said that it was due to the scarcity of cattle in the United States, together with the innumer able losses of stock in the north ern pastures this past winter.
 This year the Dakotas. Wyom- Ing, Oklahoma and principally Colorado experienced one of the severest winters for decades, in winch thousands of cattle were either frozen to death or were lost m the heavy snow drifts of the mountains ranges That has had much to do with the advanced price of cattle.
 Importations of Mexican cattle across the boundary, owing to the Poaacal trouble, the cattleman asserts, has had little or no effect upon the existing prices, because, ''7 added, Mexico could ship all of
