M'tTHDY. 133 RUSSIAN GIRL SOLDIER AT ATTENTION Type of girl serving in Russia's "Co phoio by Underwood & Underwood. By A. C. Howlctt ! The last time that I wrote for the Mall Tribune I tried to give a partial account of tho city of Colvllle and now will try to toll something of the valley of Colvllle. It is situated on either skle ofUhe Colvillo rlvor; , It runs thrtr a' biautlful valley about 60 miles In length and an average width of about one and a half miles, altho In some places It Is six or seven miles wldo; the Inner Is generally quite level and as a rulo very pro ductive and Is particularly adapted to tho growing of, wheat, oats and barley, altho tho soil Is generally of the same character as the rost of the soil In central and eastern Washing ton, a volcanic ash. The valley, is interspersed with small townB alon the railroad that runs thru the val ley. The Colvillo river is a good slzod stream and was originaiiy quite shnl low and during the spring and early summer seasons overflowed Its banks Intubating a largc'portion of the va. loy, but In the course of time the farmer dredged the river beij nnd made It deep enough to carry off the most of tho surplus water ami tho result Is that during the dry season such as they havo had this summer, the land lacks moisture with tho re sult that tho crops aro short of whnt thoy would he If they had let the nat ural flow of water spread over It, altho tho water Is used to a certain extent for Irrigating purposes nnd as a rulo the most of the farmers aro on "easy street." Tho land, as a rule. Is owned by the occupants or elso tho owners llvo In tho towns or cities and hire laborers to cultivate anrl tend tho Innd; occasionally you will find a tenant on a farm but as a rule when you do they are so bound up that the owner of the Innd gets the "lion's share." As In some Instances at least tho tenant Is required to do a certain amount of extra work, for Instance a part of the land may have been "layed otf" and tho stumps are left and the tenant will be required to remove tho stumps off of tho land and then give a certain per cent of tho grain or hay, putting It in tho barn, grannry or sacr.s, or It may be the owner will require the tenant to summer fallow a part of the place and then the owner will plant the ground In corn for his silo, when If tho land would bo left without any crop It would prodnoo a much greater quantity of wheat. They val ley Is bounded on the sides by a mountainous country and the hills are covered with some fine bodies of timber and as a matter of courso they have n number of sawmills all along the valley and some of them are employing quite a number of men In that branch of Industry, In fact this part of Washington Is quite lively. One thing that I have noticed with the farmers Is that the most of them own their own machinery, such a gang plows, seeders, hinders or headers, and In many Instances threshers. They have a small thresh er, run by a gasollno engine with . , minnml of Death" Copyrighted ail tho. modorn attachments, blower, band cutter, solf-feedor, etc., as they roquire no horses and but very few men, barely enognh to got tho grain to the machine and take It away. These machines are generally used In the Immediate neighborhood where they are owned, and the neighbors exchange work and by that means get thru with tho harvest In Bhort order with but very little expense. Thcro ' bcems to be but very llttlo attention paid to tho fruit Industry In this section of tho country, I judge, from tho fact that I havo seen but very few orchards since I loft Ore gon but the ginin makes up for It as this Is truly n great country for grain nil ho this season tho complaint is general that tho extreme hot weather In July has damaged tho grain and in many places has ruined it. I noticed In some instances that the wheat is badly shriveled and on examination of the oats find that there is nothing but the hull of the grain but that wns caused by a heavy freezo they hud July 2. 8.

Miss Swem is decidedly in tho professional class nnd bus ol ways been a drawing card in tho valley and in Scnttlo, where she is a student of the University of Wash ington. "The Milker of Di-cnms," a fan tnsy in one act by the English au thor, Olipbant Downs, is thus de scribed in a press notice- concerning a London performance, from the Glasgow Daily Record and Mail : "A little piece ns fragilo as porcelain nnd as inbuilt when tho light shines thru it. A more cbarming,s delicate and clever littlo playlet has surely never been seen on the varioty stage. It achieved instant success." The personnel of tho cast is ns follows: Pierrot, James Vance; Pierrette, Jeanne Brnckinreed ; Tho Manufac turer, Milton Scbuchard. Costumes and scenery under personal dircc lion of Mr. Swem.
