This is one of the best musical in institutions in the state, and that people in this city and valley are begininng todiscover the advantage of this school. The system is the latest and most practical, and in cludes all the latest discoveries in the art of teaching music. ' The school is divided into two depart ments; No. 1 is for beginners from 5 years or more and are taught the first three grades. Pupils come one hour each day. This is no kin dergarten system but far superior. In No. 2 the grades are from 3 to 15. Here they graduate. Pupils take one or two lessons a week as they desire. No scholars will be permitted to remain in this school who do not study. Opposite the Foley House over the candy store. Phone. 473.

The country woman at forty, iltough breathinea Durer air and living on a more healthful diet than the city woman, often looks fifty, while the latter at the same age, does not look more than thirty. But her mind, is more active than that of her country sis ter; that is the secret of her more youth ful appearance. Nothing else siges one more rapidly than monotony a dead level existence without change of scene or experience. The mind must be kept fresh or it will age. and the body cannot be younger than the mind. Few minds are strong enough to over come tne aging influence of the monoton ous life which rules in the average country home. Ltity people have infinitely greater variety of. life. They enjoy themselves a great deal more than country people. They work hard when at work, but when they are through, they drop everything and have a good time. There is no doubt that the theatre, in spite of its many evils, has done a great deal toward erasing the marks of age. People who laugh much retain their youth longer. Success, COOKING LECTURE Thu lActure dawintiwa nf fh' H nf cooking, given yesterday afternoon at! Mrs. T. N. Murphy's Hardware store by Joseph Becker, the, famous chef, 'was well attended. All present were delight ed with the demonstration and came away highly pleased with the information imparted by Mr. Becker. The lecture this afternoon was even better attended and the demonstration, if posible, more complete. Mr. Becker not oniy explains how scientific cooking should be done. but shows how as well. ' He makes all sorts of fancy pastry while he talks and finishes by explaining the merits of the well known Majestic range, THE STAGE Harry Hermsen, , the clever leading comedian of "The Royahef" company is known the country ote as a story teller. Some of his funny "tpy? may be heard most anywhere throng, e east or west. A good many years ad', longer in fact than Mr. Hermsen cares to audit, he was an agent in advanci of a cheai rep ertoire show. Oie day, said Mr. Herm sen, he got into a small town in Wisconsin. Ha asked .the local manager about prices, advertising and other points of information which the agent is supposed to supply to the manager of the troupe. Then he asked him the dimensions of his stage. "Have you any traps?" asked Mr. Hermsen, meaning of course openings in the stage, but the local manager misunder stood. "Really," he replied, "we haven't had a rat in the house for a year." In another town, this time in Michigan.! Mr. Hermsen asked the local manager for what time the orchestra rehearsal had been fixed. "Four o'oiock if it rains, and six o'clock if it doesn't rain," was the reply. "How do you figure it out?" asked the astonished agent. """Well, you see the leader of our orches tra drives the city sprinkling cart," re plied the manager. Another time in Chicago. Hermsen was introduced to a man who was said to be wealthy. A few days after the introduc tion Hermsen received a letter from the gentleman; "1 understand you have a very good show. Do you mind sending me two tickets?" it read. Mr. Hermsen's reply was brief, but to the point. '! under stand you have lots of money. Do you mind sending me four dollars for the tickets?" NORTHWEST NEWS A party of 15 surveyors are running a line northwest and soul west of Coulee, through section 1 5. in Washington. Resi dents have been liable to find whether they are Hill's men or for the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS . - At the fourteenth National Irrigation Congress, which meets at Boise, Septem- j oer o to e, the district engineer in charge of the various project being carried on by the reclamation service of the govern ment wiil report progress on the work under their direction. The combined statistics will prove very interesting and instructive to the delegates. The special train bringing Vice-President Fairbanks and party to the National Irrigation Con gress at Boise is scheduled to arrive at the capital ci.y of Idaho on the morning of September 5. A public reception will be held that evening to the distinguished guests of the congress. A year ago the government i:ad under construction irrigation projects invol ving the expenditure of $30,000,000 and the reclamation of 1.800.000 acres of land The expenditure of this amount of money will result in creating land values in ex cess of $87,000, OoO, and the lands re claimed will produce an annual crop of the value of $27,000,000, or nearly suf- ficent to pay the sum advanced by the government every year. . TIUEGGINS IN HARVEST Waterville Wash. Aug. 25-Not for many years have rattlesnakes been so numerous aiong me upper Columbia as this season. In the harvest fields lying near me river tney were becoming a ,t,ww t.w i..e ttitt.i uiimi uta ttuuiM weather of the last few days caused many to disappear. Harvesters are often found wearing tin leggins to protect themselves from being bitten bv the venomous serpents. On the Emerich farm, lying in the brakes of the Columbia about five miles from this city, it is said that more than 50 rattlers have been killed this season. , DISCOVERED GOLD Gold has been discovered in the vicinity of Wamic and is creating no small amount of excitement in that section. George Stout and the Steed brothers have been prospecting for some time and at last found pay dirt. The mine is located about three miles above Wamic, on Three Mile creek. From present indications it seems probable that th little village nf Wamic, which nestles among the foothill of the Cascade ' mountains, may in th near future be transformed into a thriving mining camp. The Dallas Optimist. GENERAL NEWS Mrs. Langtry, the famous actres, wa hissed at by a large crowd in London Wensday night, because the play she put on was o.ily a trifling South American episode lasting 20 minutes. Timothy M. Healy, member of the parliament from North Louth, Ireland who arrived in New York enroute to Chicago, said he believed that with in 1 0 years the land question would be settled for Ireland. Sheriff Stougb of Fremont county, Wyoming has ordered out Comyany B, of the state national guard to proceed to the Shoshone reservation to assist in preserving order on the new townsite on the reservation, where much trouble is brewing over land l ights. The first through passenger train over the San Pedro. Lo Angeles & Salt Lake railway since Sunday, left at midnight Wednesday from Salt Lake, the dammage by the recent washout having been repaired. The rainfall in Utah was the greatest of any for 24 years. Mrs. Kittie Biakeslee was electrocuted in the bath roon of her home at Winnipeg, Man., yesterday. She had started to take a bath. She slipped and grasped the lamp socket, which was cut of order.

TKC SCHOOL TWLT -T' NCS FOR TH1 J BEST IN lOijcaTION -WpT FOR CATALOGUE THEN AND NOW W all know the typewriter has com Lto Stay. W discovered that long ago. It i only a question which typewriter, for the word is well and truly used in the singular sense. The typewriter that has come to stay is not the one of ten years back, when in novation caused such a stir in business circles. Then nobody ever thought of as sociating the word "alignment" with a typewriter; it satisfied the user so long as the machine would write some fashion or other, and. with constant break-downs ever-present repair bills were paid smil ingly. But things are different now. Time tests all things. The business man has become wise. He wants what he pays for. He has learned the value (from dearly-bought experience) of a machine which will writ properly, not only the day it is bought, but perpetually. He also wants to be satisfied upon the peculiarities of the many machine now before the public. Th individual claim of our product places its position beyond all question, and the few particulars we give on' the following pages will, no doubt be found cf interest to those buyers who "wartt what they pay for" ABOUT TH2 OLIVER The No. 3 Model, which has secured such a firm foothold on the universal markets, constitutes what is reckoned as WHY? Here is our answer IT WRITES IN SIGHT There is no carriage to lift; no con structional parts to peer over. Your work is there right before you. ALIGNMENT" . V Each type-bar is a double or U-shaped one and the alignment is secured thereby, No slots or so-called "guides" are neces sary to preserve the alignment of the Oliver. Th U-shaped type-bar doe it SIMPLICITY In th construction of the Oliver less than one-half the usual number of parts I employed, consequently what there is to learn is learnt quickly. MANIFOLDING Th freedom of, the Oliver type-bar permit! of any desired force, so that in heavy manifolding equally good results are obtained first to last copy From one to twenty copies can be made simultaneously, without materially increased exertion, STENCILING ; No extra-heavy touch is needed to cut a perfect stencil on the Oliver. The or dinary touch is sufficient, therefor all risk of "cutting out" is avoided, Th type of the Oliver cut the finest stencils pos sible. ' OPERATION The Oliver never tires. Its operation is a pleasure. , even when used without intermission. Its tcuch is beautifully elastic and most responsive. The fastest operator cannot overtake its speed, NON-LOCKING TYPE-BARS The type-bars of the Oliver cannot lock, no matter how many keys be depressed at one time. TYPE CLEANING ' ' .The type of the Oliver are not, as with other machines, cleaned indivdually, but eollec'.ively, and the case with which this cleaning in done makes excuse fordiity type impf ssible. LINE RULING Lines, e ther vert.cal or horizontal, and in any color, may be ruled upon paper whilst a is in the machine, and without the aid of a ruler. Ordinarily. any neces sary rJing is ieft. of course, until it can be done in the usual way. but is usually forgotten. REMOVABLE CARRIAGE The carriage is removed from the ma chmeifor cleaning er,d other, purposes) instantly, without manual interferences with anyTasterings whatever, and is just as easily replaced. PAPER RELtASE By a single rr.cveirer.tahsolute freedom is given to the paper, leaving it to he either straightened cr ctherw.se moved in ary desired position No force is nec- j essary. consequently no so'lirg or tearing. cf the paper occurs, i CARD WORK j Tr.e Oi.ver typewriter wii! teed the ! stiffest and stojttst card as easily as a s'ng'e 5l;(:ct cf pacer.
