PRESTON MAKES FINE GIFT
Pioneer Miller Gives $3O,00O Building
to Waitsburg.

In order to express to the citizens Of
the little city of Waitsburg, with
whom be has lived for so years, a
testimonial of bis good will and es.
teem w. q. Preston has Just announc-
ed his gift of community nuild-
ing costing $4,000.
Incidentally, Mr.. Preston has offer.

citizens, and BESIDES special lahora-
tories for domestic science and manual
training GLASSES Of the high school
there will be bowling alleys, swim
ming tanks and gymnasium for any
who care to take advantage of the op-
poItunities.
Mr.. Preston is president of the
Preston -Shaffar Milling company Of
Athena and Waitstnrg. He has al
ways been public-spirited and has
made many Eountifnl donations to bis

ished by the coming fall and the plans
are being drawn ty Walla WalIa
architects.
TIE building is the climax of a
series of ienefactions Mr.. Preston has
made to his community. A short
time ago he provided a scheme for
the improvement OF the cemetery by
giving as much as the citizens would
raise ny voluntary contribution for
that purpose. This new structure
will probably be called the Preston
Memorial building.
The building will be devoted to the
advancement OF the general social
spirit and kindly feeling of the whole
community. The gymnasium is made
the largest single feature of this
building in recognition of the faor
that only in sound body uan there

of the first objects for which the
building will be used is the creation
Of good, sound, healthy, servicable
bodies in the growing youth.
Then, as he says, since man must
live by bread, even though he may not
live by it alone, the building is to do
its part in equipping the youth Of
the community to supply themselv YES

The first thing to he done when
cholera is suspected is to take away

ment is the urine or manure, do not

most a daily thing for this place, says

day some one is down from the hill
with tunoh Of free, virgin gold,

it has punched. During Che first few
days !. b. Hazeltine took ont pocket
that had 500 in it. The story told
last week of Dan O'Shea taking out

$4,000, which is quise a nice little

a day or two. And so 1t goes aud no
one pays attention to 1t. Similar oou-
dition anywhere else would be fol
lowed by stampede. Many thou-
sands of dollars have teen taken from
the mountain and nothing said about
it. Prospectors who open up pocket

buached want nothing said about it
