About the Town. Covered with debris, obscurity and sidewalk at the two corners on street, opposite the Ritzville hotel, and on street epposite Pioneer State bank are the long disused holes which formerly did duty as the city water works. It was a part of the town marshal's labor to keep the two hot air engines going, and several gallons water in this manner were daily deposited in the old wooden tank on Knob hill. This tank, wearied of its long, lonesome staud on the hill, one day got a cramp in one leg and with the aid of the usual spring zephyr tumbled over, spilling several tubs of water and delaying washday among the housewives. This unworthy action threw the tank into disfavor with the council and through their influence it finally lost its job.

The holes under the sidewalk are now the only evidence of the milkman's prosperity in our halcyon days. In those days the dust was thick upon the show is yet. In those days no water sprinkler kept the streets ceol and the dirt out of the air. In those days lawns suffered the need of water, and when the thirsty citizen manipulated the gleaming pump handle and poured forth its substance into the depths of the old rusty tin cup aad cows loitered around the wet epots sipping the drops that fell after him, it always created within a yearning for better things. The cows and pump handles have been abolished.

Even the wet spots have vanished. But the old holes linger, a passing, curious reminder of those dead days of long ago, when Rehfield and Rettig officiated as engineers and Ritzville had not assumed the truly metroplitan airs. Changes in Game Law. It behooves the sportsmen to familiarize themselves with the game laws as amended by the legislature just adjourned. The ehanges are very radical and the increased revenue is placed in a fund as stated below.

It has been signed by the governor. Under the new law resident hunters are required to pay $5 for a license, non-resident hunter $10, alien hunters $20. The sum derived from the sale of licenses is used for the creation of a game and fish fund. It created the office of state game warden, to be appointed by the governor at a salary of 91,600, with $760 expenses, to be paid out of the game fund. It prohibits the killing ef elk until October, 1906; the killing of waterfowl on the Columbia river in Walla, Kittitas, Douglas, Columbia, Garfield and Whitman counties at all aeaaons, and prohibits the chasing of deer with dogs on any island in the sburg Capital.

The following admirable editorial, entitled "Crime and Weak Minds," appeared in Tuesday's Spokesman-Review, which is worthy of reproduction: "Two distressing examples of the evil that may result from bad education of weak minds were reported in yesterday's Spokesman-Review. In this city a murderous minded man tried to kill wife because she would 110 longer live with him and endure hia cruel treatment. The other tragedy was enacted in Pennsylvania, when an overwrought girl of 18 plunged a knife into the breast of a companion because he had dared her to strike. ''It is reasonably certain that somewhere in the more youthful career of the would-be Spokane woman killer, he had heard foolish men or silly boys proclaim the craxy opinion that the pistol waa the best remedy for wrongs. Probably everyone at some time has heard that anarchistic doctrine.

Fortunately it has little weight with sensible minds, but now and tben it takes root in weak intellects and there ia no telling when the vicious plant will bear ita blood red "At soma period in her life, the Pennsylvania girl doubtless heard it said that it was a cowardly thing to take a dare. That foolish notion is prevalent with many boys and girls, but fortunately most of them have the good sense to outgrow the nonsense. "The remedy for a large part of the crime that shocks the American people is better education at home and in the schools. The conditions under which the law holde its right to take a life are easily understood. The law holds that it is justifiable only to kill on self defense.

That when a person has good reason to believe that bis own life is imminently in peril, then and then only ha may protect that life by killing the person who is try- 1 ing to take it. That is good law and it is common sense. It is the con- centrated wisdom of ages. It is the view of wise, brave and humane men, and it onght to be clearly impressed I upon the rising generation.

Miss Helen Newland ol Ritzville, pent in Lind this week the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Leader.

The Eltopiau, published at Eltopia, has changed hands. R. L. Hitt and W. U.

BerfStrom, a former resident of Ritzville, was half owner and resident manager of the retiring lumber company. Just what he will do is not yet given out, but he expects to continue in similar business at some other place. Last year he made a trip to Alaska and was well pleased with that country. Just now he Is on a tour of inspection, having left for Spokane and other points the first of the week. Since coming here he has married, and Almira people will regret to have the family move." The Adams County News of Ritzville, did itself honors last week by getting out a fine supplement of sixteen pages describing the different businesses and the business men, and is well illustrated with many fine halftones of the same.

This seems to indicate prosperity, and The Quill congratulates the Quill. The Adams County of Rits- contained a lupplement in last week's issue. It is a biography of the business men of that plaee and surrounding country, and is well filled with half-tons cuts of Ritiville's business establishments, printed on book paper. The supplement is gotten up in an artistic manner wktoh reflects credit upon the printer's News. The Adams County News last week sent out a well printed and neat pamphlet supplement that is replete with valuable information concerning Ritzville and Adams county in general.

From an apparently barren waste in 1881, that section has developed into one of the finest of the wheat-producing counties of the state, and Kitzville, from a struggling shack village to a well built and prosperous town of 2,500 Leader. The Adams County News got out an extra addition, last woek, nicely illustrated with scenes from the harvest fields around Ritzville; and with scenes from soiqe other portions of the state showing lakes and timbered Chrenicle.

J. ranch, Ave mi lei north of town, on Wednesday of laet week at a depth of 134 feet. The well was drilled by Shaver Bryion, and waa done quickly and without mithap of any kind. Mr. Guier will now probably aell at a low price the water wagon upon which be made many a weary trip to Washtucna for water in the building up of place.

It considered very fortunate that water could be had at no greater Enterprise. Married. Isaac Rigg and Mrs. D. E.
