SP|CK AND SPAN
/. ENG|NEFOR Auto,
ISCOLE OBJECTIVE

To overcome the lack-luster APP
pearance which the power plant OF
an automobile is bound to acquire as
the result of heat and ever present
dust and oil, the Cole Motor Car
Company has employed special manu-.
featuring methods on its eight,
which are said to have proved most
satisfactory.
Every car owner enjoys the sensa-
tion OF lining the hood of his car and
finding a motor that Cooks clean.
Realizing this, the Cole builders have
used highly polished nickel unspar-
ingly and even coated the cylinder
blocks with fire-proof lustrous paint.
Especially, however, does the com
pany pride itself in the treatment
given the exterior OF the exhaust
manifolds, which so often have
proved themselves q nuisance to en-
CINE designers who have sought to
give them a permanent appearance of
"newness."
1t is claimed positively that the
Cole exhaust manifolds will not cor
rode or tarnish. They are coated
with porcelain enamel, applied at 81
temperature of about $500 degrees
Fahrenheit. Inasmuch, as manifolds
in service seldom acquire a tempera-
ture OF more than 500 to 1000 de-
grees. the coating on their exterior
is said to be absolutely imperyious to
the effects of heat. The porcelain
enameIing is essentially a Cole pro-
cess, having been developed through
years of careful study

BRITISH OFFICERS PAY
HIGH FOR HORSE SENSE

British army officers have been
careful in selecting horses since the
Boerswar, George M. Wilson, veteran
horseman Of the Northwest, told the
Spokane Chronicle. "Western men,
when they want to ride, get on horse
and ride him, whether he has been
broken or not. The British bought
American animals of this variety dur
ing their South African war and it is
an open secret that their soldiers,
instead of fighting Boers, were break
ing horses"
Washington, Ilaho, Montana and
Oregon could furnish the U. S. govern
ment 20, army horses, if they were
needed, Mr.. Wilson said.
"At present prices they would cost
in the neighborhood of $l25 apiece, J"
said Mr.. Wilson. "This would mean
81, 500, 900 for army animals from this
section. These would not be the stand
ard stock demanded now by govern
ment buyers. but would be serviceable
animals. Our governments rules for
selecting army horses are the most diff
fcult to comply with of any nation on
earth, but in my opinion they do not
bring mas good mount or artillery
horse as the stocky built animal of the
west. "

Wheat Damage Much
Less Than First Reported

With the coming of warmer weather
and rains to break the crust of the soil
many farmers find the damage to grain
not SO great as was expected, while in
other instances wheat raisers who
thought their grain all right, find they
will have to reseed.
Grain conditions in this section are
Spotted" but on the whole, the dam
age will be less than was at first esti-
mated.
Wheat growers of the Walla Walla
valley have been able to determine de-
finitely just what amount of reseeding
will be necessary and have lost no
time in getting their crews upon the
work. Early spring sown grain which
was blown from the ground by the un-
usually heavy winds of March, was
not damaged to as great an extent as
had been feared, but hundreds of acres
will have to be resown. Soma of the
fall wheat is making a good growth,
but trip through the valley shows
a much smaller percentage to be grow
ing than had been looked for. In the
western part of the county one may
travel for miles without catching a
glimpse of green wheat fields, which
in former years were common in most
parts of the wheat belt.

Taking Measurements
For the New Bridges.

The Pendleton Tribune reports that
Ward Weber, United States engineer,
is over from North Yakima for the pur-
pose of gathering information regard
ing the situation of the land where the
bridges are to be constructed over the
u matilda river at Mission and at Thorn
Hollow. Mr. Weber has been engaged
in the work for the past coup of days
with Superintendent Swartzlander of
the Umatilla reservation and is today
measuring the depth Of the pits. 4
Congress authorized last spring the
appropriationsof two thirds of the cost
of these bridges on the condition that
the county court shall pay the remaind-
er. This the court agrees to do a nd it
is expected that the bridges will be
constructed this summer. Heretofore,
temporary structures constructed over
the river at these points have lasted
only one season. Damage by high
waters each spring practically wrecks
the structures and the new bridges will
make year around road.
The total cost Of the two bridges will
be $4,000. 49,

MR.. Bob WELL
PLAYED BY CAST
DIRECTION OF MRS. RUSSELL
Prizes Awarded Best Sustain
ed Characters--Play Put on
AT Weston Also.

The two act comedy drama "Mr.
Bob, J" staged last Friday night in the
High school auditorium by members of
the High school, was voted an unqual-
flied success by the large audience
who witnessed the production. The
play, rehearsed under the direction of
Prof. and Mrs. j. o. Russell, was one
of the best local talent has produced
in the city.
A prize was offered for the first and
second best sustained characters, and
these were awarded to Lawson Booher
and Henry Koepke respectively. Miss
lola Keen came next, with all the
other characters receiving much COM
mendation, not one of whom was weak
or disappointing in the rendition Of his
or her role. t@
Lawson Booher and Kathren Froome
as the butler and maid, were inimita-
BILE as the Romeo and Juliet of the
play, for the dignifed old butler was
we'll supported by the sprightly and
stage struck Patty" and finally cap
itulated to her charms.
Evalyn Hurd as the wealthy maiden
lady with a propensity for friendless
cats, portrayed her part perfectly, and
her niece, miss Zola Keen,J who
planned the plot which involved the
whole ensemble in ludicrous mixup,
acted in her usual pleasing and :tist-
ic manner. Her friend, Marian Bry-
ant, (Helen RUSSELL, was delightful
as "Mr Bob, and won all hearts by
her clever and natural Interpretation
of the role. Verne Dudley as Mr..
Brown, scored another success,
burdened as he was by his multiplicity
of names and Identities.
+ Henry Koepke as the young yachts
man, genial host and prosecuted of his
aunt's cats, brought down the house ia
numerous scenes, especially in his re-
fusal to watch the race.
Taken altogether, it was good en-
tertainment, and both directors and
performers deserve special credit for
its success.
The specialties which were intro
duced before the curtain rose for the
first act were thoroughly enjoyed. The
spooky Dance of the Ounces, the Clown
Drill, the graceful pantomime "Com
in Thru the Rye" by seven girls
with solo by Jeannete Miller; the song
Jungle Moon" in costume by Elmo
Russell, and the vocal solo and en-
core by Miss Lucille Taylor, all CON
tributed to very enjoyable program
which netted $82. 80, to be added to
the student body general fund. Miss
Velva Mansfield presided gracefully
at the piano.
The play was given in Weston at
the opera house Wednesday night, and
was well received by our neighboring
town, many encores being given both
the cast and the specialties, the latter
consisting of the pantomime by the
eighth grade girls, the Dance of the
Ounces" by fifth and sixth grade boys,
song by Miss Lucille Taylor and sew
eral readings by Miss Fortna. The
total receipts were $30.25, of which
$40 is clear and will also go into the
general High school fund.
