The display of mnuniental work to be seen in the store room of D. Millgard & Co. in the new Mackenzie block on Spring street, opposite the postoffice, probably excels anything of the kind in the Inland Empire. The middle store room of the block was specially 6tted up for them, all arrangements being unique in every particular. The room is 25x90 feet, running through the entire building to the back alley. A work room and an office in the rear have been par titioned off, but they in nowise interfere with the light and the completeness of things. A representative of The Gazette visited the beautiful establishment Saturday, feasting his eyes on the highly polished blocks of marble and granite that are to be seen in the new quarters to advant age, blocks that have found their way there from distant lands, representing the finest grades for uee in monumental work. Mr. Millgard very kindly showed the scribe through the premises, and a half hour was not ouly pleasantly but profitably spent. It developed that most of the highly polished blocks came from Scotland, Italy and Sweden, with a large percentage from Vermont and ather states cf the Union. Some of these blocks are massive, all show the skill of the true artist, and the fine grain of the rock is pointed out, plainly COLFAX GAZETTE, COLFAX, WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 2, 1910. telling why it is npcessary to send bo far for material for high class work. Those interested in art can enjoy a delightful half hour looking through the estab lishment, and no doubt will be made welcome by the proprietors. A huge traveling crane with chain hoist, running the entire length of the building, is a feature new to these parts, there being only one like it (at The Dalles, Oregon), in this part of the Pa cific Northwest. With this traveling crane one man can lift three tons and transport it to any part of the large room. It can take a block of granite or marble of any s'ze and transport it to the work room, large folding doors opening to receive it, and deposit it at any place convenient for the workman. This traveling crane is a great mechani cal device, and should be seen to be fully understood. Another mechanical device, not only worth mentioning but worth going to see, is the electric chisel used for lettering and designing purposes. It does away with the old fashioned process of doing it by band, which was slow, tedious and often unsatisfactory. With the electric chisel the work is done with rapidity and precision, it being the wonder how mon umental work in the past was done at all. It is in line, however, with mechan ical contrivances found in all walks of life, only this one is the advance agent in its line of work in the Palouse country, showing that D. Millgard & Co. are not behind the times in anything in their line of business. The electric chisel can also be operated by a moving crane and put to use in any part of the building. The Gez >tte is pleased to note these things, as it shows progress and speaks well for the stability and growth of Colfax. FOOTBALL IN COLFAX. Good Record Mads by Home Eleven --Resume of Events. The Colfax eleven made a good record this season, although the team suffered four defeats, of which only one was ex cusable. All the men played a star game, many of whom played their first Hiizh school football game this year. The team was light, lighter than any team that played this season except Endicott, but were last, which made up for what they lacked in weight. This is the record for the season: Colfax vs. Pullman 0 3- Colfax vs. Spokane 5 23 Colfax vb. Rosalia 39 0 Colfax vs. Lewiston In 0 Colfax vs. Coeurd'Alene 13 11 Colfax vs. Palouse 0 3 Colfax vs. Endicott 23 0 65 40 Tekoa, Oakeßdale, Garfield and Waits burg forfeited to Colfax. The team had a hard and heavy schedule this season, which is hard on any light team, the, result being that a greater part of the time at least two men were laid up and the whole team lacked the vim which wine a game. Returned From Post Graduate Work. Drs. Palamountain and Card well re turned Saturday, coming direct from Chicago, where they attended the Cliui cal Meeting of Surgeons of North Amer ica, in session from November 8 to 19 inclusive. This was a notable event in the surgical world. Over 2000 eurgeocs w^re present during the daily sessions of the congress, 1000 living outside of Chicago, representing every state in the Union, besides Canada, even far away Hawaii. The next session of the con gress will be held in Philadelphia. Drs. Palamouutain and Cardwell alt>o spent several days at Rochester, Minnesota, where they engaged in post graduate work, which was continued at Chicago. Poßt graduate work is necessary if prac ticing physicians would advance with the advancing science of surgery, as well as medicine, and it is pleading to note that local members of the profession take advantage of the opportunity to frequently take these courses. Killed Four Deer--Sans Bear. George W Horton and G. VV. Wilson returned Tuesday evening from Stevens count*, bringing the carcasses of three white-tail deer with them as a result, of the chase. Four deer were killed altogether, one being consumed in camp. The hunters left Colfax the Brh of Octo ber more specifically to hunt bear, taking dogs with them for that purpose, but in this they were disappointed, as bruin managed to elude them and their dogs, although they got on the trail of several. One big eilvertip was pursued for three days, the grizzly finally making his escape. The three deer brought to town were killed at the foot of Kalispell peak, 25 miles southeast of Colville, Stevens county. This has heretofore been a great game preserve, but as noted in other parts of the land, deer are getting scarcer every .year. Teachers' Exams. Teachers' examinations will be held in the new High school building in Colfax on December 8, 9 and 10. Those wish ing to take the exams should bear this in mind. The Correct Time to stop a cough or cold is ju&t as coon as it starts—then there will be no danger of pneumonia or consumption. Just a few doses of Ballard's Horehound Syrup taken at the start will stop the cough. If it has been running on for some time the treatment will bp longer, but the care is sure. Sold by V. T.
