valuable information concerning
electricity Tuesday morning by a
visit to the power house.
The track meet was a success.

they got. While the quantity was
small the quality was fine. Eliza

COULEE WINS. FIELD DAY
HONORS.


The Eight Annual Grant County
Track Meet and Declamatory con-
test was held in Neppel Saturday
May 5th, with all of the schools par
ticipating in some or all of the eve
nts. The day was unique in that it
was the first field meet ever held in
the county when the weather was
auspicious and ]. Pluvius or E.
Dustius were not on hand. A large
crowd was in evidence at all of the
activities in spite of the difficulty
of reaching Neppel and regardless
of the fact that many were that day
at the county seat to watch the
county commissioners in their mad
futile scramble to save their politi
cal lives,
Coulee City was we'll represented
in all the activities of the day. ex-
cept the track events; the energy OF
the local high school athletes having
been devoted to winning the tennis
pennant this year. In the Interme-
diate Division of the Spelling Con-
test in the morning the Coulee City
representative, Mayme Adams, wor
first prize and the gold medal after
spelling almost continuously for !:
hours. A feature of this contest was
that while they were supposed tc
use only the Book One of the Spell
ers it was necessary to make sub
stantial inroads on the second bool
before a decision could be reached
In the Grammar School Division OF
the spelling contest, Dorothy Pooles
took second prize in the final con
test, losing to the Hartline repre-.
sentative. The Coulee High School
representative, Merle Box, fought o
good fight but lost out in the 29th
round to our rivals of the East.
In the Oratoracal division of the
Public speaking contest Elizabeth

The display of the articles made
in the Domestic Science class will
be held in the Domestic Science
room and on Friday, the 18th every
body is invited to come and bring
your friends to inspect our work.
We have noticed an absence OF
the daily thoughts and notices from
the board for the past week.
We move the school board that
they erect seat in the right locality
and hemisphere for Prof. in the An

Spring fever is rapidly gaining
hold on the students. We hope that
it dosen't get too contagious.

WHITE. AND. THIEMENS SEEM
FRIENDLESS.

The fuss kicked up by the Ephrata
boosters and their pet court house
scheme has pushed the war aside in
this part of the country as topic
of conversation. White and THE
mems appear to have no friends or
apologists. An irritating feature of
the matter and the one denounced
the strongest is the secrecy with
which the proposition was promot-
ed. 1t takes time to hatch up so
complete an action as this one prov
ed to be, for the architect had not
only condemned the old building,
but had prepared his plans and
specifications in such a way that
bids were called for for the build
ing's construction next week. In
holding back from the public an ex-
penditure of this magnitude, the two
commissioners have committed an
act that of itself convicts the of be-
ing unworthy of the fullest trust.
Good actions have their birth and
being in the sunshine. The other
kind are born where this court
house plot came from-in the dark.
If Messrs. White and Theimens are
smarting under the lash of adverse
public opinion they have only them
selves to blame. If they are recall
ed from office and cast into outer
darkness that is some more of their
business.

HADN'T HEARD WAR DECLARED.
Snowbound Oregon Miners Didn't.
Even Know Wilson Was Elected.

EUGENE Ore, May 8.-That news
travels slowly in some sections or
Oregon is revealed by word received
here from Cottage Grove, Ore,
where o. w. Davis and William But

heard that President Wilson had
been reelected, or that the Uuited

Spring.

Spring is looked upon by many as
the most delightful season of the

rheumatic. The cold and damp
weather brings on rheumatic pains
which are anything but pleasant.
They can be relieved however BY
