SIMPLE MACHINE DOES
WORK OF TWO men
FACTORY IN COLFAX WILL MAN
UFACTURE LABOR SAVING DE-
VICE ON LARGE SCALE.

Eugene Brown of this city has
patented sack piler and loader and
the new machinery will be manufac-
tured in this city. Preparations are
underway in Mr.. Browns machine
shop on Main street; material has
been ordered and it is expected that
by the first of next month at least 10
men will be at work making the new
machines which will be placed on
the market at once.
A company of local capitalists has
been organized and capitalized at
$4,000. At meeting last Satur-
day the following directors were
elected: Charles L. Mackenzie, P.
B. Stravens, w. A. Mitchell, Seymour
Manning, John Monahan, William
Schluting, Docks Fry, Paul Pattison
and Eugene Brown, all of Colfax.
A meeting of the directors will
soon be held for the election Of Off
GERS.
Two kinds of machines will be
manufactured at the start. One is
a device for loading sacks on a wag-
on from pile in the field. This ma
chine will probably sell for $25. An
sacks scattered over a field by a
combine harvester and place them on
a wagon, will sell for about $50. AS
soon as a few machines are finished
they will probably be taken through
the country and demonstrated to the
farmers.
One man with the machine can
load as much grain as two men can
by hand, and much easier.
Mr.. Brown received the patent on
the first successful warehouse sack
piler and this machine is being ex-
tensively manufactured in Portland
at the present time.
If the new device proves as popu-
lar as anticipated, factory will be
built in Colfax next season and the
machines put on the market in large
numbers.

GRATEFUL TO COLFAX FRIENDS
Charles Hubbard Plans to Return to
the Far North.

Many old timers in Colfax and
Whitman county will remember
Charles Hubbard who owned what is
now the Minnick brothers farm on
Dry Creek. Later Mr.. Hubbard went
to Alaska where he made money At
one time two friends borrowed all
Hubbard had and then hit the trail
Hubbard followed and overlook the
men and in a gun fight which follow
ed he shot man in self defense. He
was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary but his Colfax friends
made strong fight for his release.
While going to Lacrosse the first
of the week J. A. Perkins of this city
met Mr.. Hubbard on the train and
had long visit with him. Mr.. Hub
bard was on his way to Waitsburg
to visit a son. He declared that he
was coming back to Colfax sometime
to thank his friends who stood by
him during his trouble many years
ago. Mr.. Hubbard plans to return
to Alaska later.

everything that those who were re-
sponsible for the law claimed for it.
In Colfax it is not proving of as much
use as in some other places. At the
present time the deposits here amount
to about $500, divided up among 16
depositors. In all "a accounts have
been opened and Is have been closed.
A total of sc deposits have been made
and 33 Withdrawals are on record.
During the harvest season the de-
posits reached the highwater mark,
or about $1400. The same system Is
in use at Pullman but no bank in that
city qualified as depository and
their funds amounting to about $500
are on deposit in this city.
In the 5185 postal savings banks
in the United States more than four
teen million dollars have been placed
on deposit. 1t is stated authoritative
ly that most of this money has been
brought from hiding, and has not
been in circulation. 1t can be seen
that these millions will find their way
into the channels of business, and
will add just that much to the re-
sources of the country available for
present business needs. This one ad-
vantage OF the system is an important
one.

VAS PIONEER In BUSINESS
Mr.. Mackenzie Owned Much Prop
erty in This City and Spokane.

Roderick Mackenzie, father OF
Charles L. Mackenzie of this city,
died in San Diego, California, last
Friday night of heart disease. His
wife and daughter, Mrs. Carrie Nc
Kinnon accompanied him to Califor-
mia early in the winter and were with
him at the time of his death. They
were guests of relatives here for some
time before going south and at that
time Mr.. Mackenzie appeared in ex-
cellent health although he was 72
years of age.
Burial was at San Diego as Mr..
Mackenzie was very fond Of that city
and had often expressed a wish to
live and die" there.
Besides the widoD five children
survive. They are Charles L., bank
er, of Colfax; William, who resides
at Liberty Lake; John, one of the
managers of the Savoy theater, San
Francisco; Mrs. Bert Terry Of Spo-
kane and Mrs. Carrie McKinnon.
Charles Mackenzie and family

DOES NOT LIKE MEAT.
Objected When Companion Threaten
ed to Make Him Into Sausage.

Deputy Prosecuting Attorney F. l..
Stotler was in Rosalia Tuesday to at
tend the trial of John Bowman, who
according to the complaint filed by
Godfrey Hildebrand, "did threaten to
shoot me through the head and make
sausage meat out of me-"
The two men had been employed as
farm hands by Thomas Hastings, Hv-
ing near Rosalia and had an argu-
ment over the number of buckets Of
milk which Bowman had MIXED on a
certain day. One said it was three
buckets and the other said it was
four. They decided to make a bet
but before the question had been de-
cided their argument had waxed so
warm that a near fight" occurred,
resulting in the arrest of Bowman
The case was tried before Justice
M. H. West and as a result Bowman
was fined 81 and costs, amounting to
about 500.

GOVERNOR HERE;
Will RETURN SOON
DEEPLY INTERESTED In POWER
and IRRIGATION PROJECT
FOR NORTH PALOUSE.

Governor M. E. Hay will be In Col
fax on the first two days of March
and will attend the meeting to be
called for Saturday, March 2, for the
purpose of furthering the proposed
conservation project for the North
Palouse river. This was given out
after Governor Hay had talked with
Mayor Tiff and few prominent
Whitman county men while the gov
ernor was a guest in the city for an
hour between trains Wednesday
morning.
The governor had been to Pullman
to address the Wheat Growers con-
ventiOn Tuesday evening and on his
way to Spokane came through this
city for the purpose of comforting
with Colfax men on the conservation
problem. He was met at the station
by Mayor Tiff, Senator Oliver Hall,
John Arrasmith, former state grain
inspector, J. r. Good, Claude Hol-
lingsworth and several other citizens,
who escorted him to the office of
Senator Hall. No mention was made
Of politics during the governors stay
in this city.
People all along the Palouse river
are awakening to the possibilities
that lie before them and 1t is expect
ed that the meeting called for March
2 will result in a movement to bring
greater possibilities to the people Of
Whitman, Adams and Franklin coun-
ties. Data pertaining to the proposed
project should be gathered by people
ali along the river and be presented
at the meeting.
F. A. Metz, the Elberton banker,
was in this city Tuesday on business
and in conversation with a Gazette
representative expressed his enthusi-
asm over the probability of the peo-
pie of this county being able to inter
est the government in the conserva-
tion of the waters of the North Pa
louise for power and irrigation pur-
poses. He believes that if the gov
ernment can be induced to send en-
gineers here to investigate the pro-
ject there will be no question about
the discovery of the feasibility of the
proposed plan. Mr.. Metz declares in
favor of more people in the county
and he believes the way to get them
here is to make it possible to produce
more from small tracts. He believes
all the river flats for miles and miles
may be made into veritable, garden
spots and fruit tracts. Sufficient
water runs to waste every spring to
more than irrigate all these flats and
1t could be held in reservoirs near
the headwaterS of the river until the
QrV months when if ia naodpd
