o’clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Dougherty, occurred the marriage of their daugher, Arie, to Mr. Carl B. Kinzer.

The house was daintily decorated throughout with white and green flowers. The window in the living room was draped with white and green in the form of an arch.

To the strains of the Bridal Chorus of Lohengrins Wedding March, played by Mrs. Buchanan on the piano and by Clarence Dougherty on the violin, the bride and groom took their places in the circular bower of white and green. They were attended by Lawrence

Mr. Peters urges letting congress retain the system of paying the railroads for the weight of mail carried, but would provide that the mails be weighed not less than once a year instead of once in four years as at present. “ Mail will then keep reasonable pace with the in­crease in the service rendered in­stead of lagging years behind,” he states.

A number of large checks paying taxes in full were received, including one for more than $50,000 from the Potlatch Lumber Co. Ten thousand dollars in cash was in over the counter on Saturday.

It will not be possible to dispose of the accumulated mail before the latter part of this week or the early part of next week, so no informa­tion is available as to the amount received or the number of delin­quents.

About three years ago this com­pany was formed by the consolida­tion of two large stocks of hard­ware and implements, known as the Lincoln Hardware and Imple­ment Company and the McCrea Hardware Company. Since the ad­vent of this new firm they have pushed forward until they stand second to none in the Palouse or Potlatch country.

They have a large store building which is convenient for their large trade. The building is lighted from their own electric light plant.

In talking with the manager of this firm we were informed that this company have during their time in business in this city, been selling a number of Implements to the farmers that are not sold by any other dealer in the whole Palouse country. The coming season thi-y are placing a new im­plement on the market that has never been introduced before. It will be worth your time to call on them and investigate the merit of this machine, it is a labor saver.

In interviewing the clerks of this establishment we find that the management has secured men that are experts in their particular lines. First, the main effort of the firm is to study the wants and needs of the different localities of this section, as it is a peculiar one, hav­ing such a diversified amount of grains, grasses and fruits to har­vest each year, that they can in­telligently inform the user of tools what they are best adapted for and at the same time what tool or im­plements are best adapted for their kind of work.
