OP THOSE Itf THE nOVINd PANORArtA
OP LOCAL HISTORY
David Richardson, promoter of the
townsite of Quincy and a former resident
here is the guest of his daughter, Mrs. C.
L. Holcomb on east collt ge hill. He is
now improving a fine fiuii farm near his
town and has requisite water for irriga
tion on the land which promises to yield
satisfactory profits. Quincy is on the
r.iain line of the Great Northern Rail
way and has a growing population of
400 souls. Mr. Richardson has been
fortunate in business ventures, always
maintaing the best of credit and shrewd
ly managing his affairs with the skill ol
an expert financier. He was recently
chosen a delegate to the Republican
convention of Douglas county.
John Vehrs, a wealthy farmer has just
completed one of the finest farm house
residences in eastern Washington. Every
thing calculated to insure comfort and
convenience has been installed regard
less of expense. The commanding new
"home is on the choice country place al
most in sight of the town, three miles
west. The structure bears evidence ol
'lie prosperityof the ownerand his strong
faith in our section of the country. M.
S. Taylor a skillful young painter is lay
ing the beautiful finishing touches so
pleasing to the vision of the passerby.
In this issue appears the announce
ment card of Fred Kembel, a rtpresenta
tive and highly respected German farm
er just west of town. Mr. Kembel only
yeilded to the repeated urgent entreaties
of a large number of leading citizens with
who felt that the German people were
entitled to recognition upon the Republi
can ticket. He is an old resident in

doubtedly be elected to the office of
county commissioner to which he man
fully aspires.
The latest candidate for county audi
tor is C. E. Jay of Lind, a young school
teacher of ihe western partot the county.

his head and chest, severly cutting his
forehead just above both eyes. He is
attended by I3r. Burroughs and his

for her health. The external bruises are
not serious but internal fractures have
not been determined.
The profanity and indecent language
used on the grounds and bleachers at
last Sunday's base ball game was a
shock to respectable people. A town
that gets in the habit of allowing such
practices is starting a bad precedent and
those in authority should see that row
dyism and vulgarity is confined to those
people who enjoy it. -
F. L. Frost has leased the Baiour-
Guthrie warehouse and will be im the
market as a grain buyer on his ownliook #

doubtless gain rank and prominence
among the strong financial houses of the
Evergreen state, of which the Pacific
Northwest may be justly proud. There
fore our little city can be justly pardoned
for pointing with pride to her local banks,
all being officered by men of means,
ability and integrity, guaranteeing a safe,

day and perfected arrangements for the
establishment of a branch concern and
distributing warehouse in this city. Im
mense sieel tanks will be erected for the
purpose ot carrying coal oil and gaso- j
line in bulk, and a full line ot staple
goods in packages. Bulk gasolene stor
age is supplied on account of the large
and growing trade for this product for
pumping and other power purposes. At
no other point in the inland empire out
side of Spokane, does the demand seem
to warrant such a step by the company,
and upon a personal inspection of the
field it was decided that the expense was
justified considering the revenue derived
and the steady increase in shipments to
Ritzville.

Nine times in ten there is 110 need of baldness.
There's plenty of warning; hair loses lustre, begins
falling, dandruff increases. The time to decide
whether or not you eare to he bald is when these
symptoms show themselves.
OUR OWN HAIR TONIC is a reliable and
effective remedy. It will not grow hair on a billiard
ball; but where hair has fallen out and a spark of
life remains in the rjots, growth will be quickened
and stimulated. This remedy vitalizes the roots,
tones the scalp, stops the falling out, hastens the
growing in. Price 50 cents.
