SPOKANE FALLS As A RAILROAD CENTER.
Very few OF our citizens realize the
fact that We are 10 close proximity 10 q

make Spokane the center Of commerce
and transportation for the entire North
west. With only sixty miles Of road
connecting Spokane with Pennington,
Ne will have a direct line via the o. X.

coasts. With something over 300 miles
Of road We have connection With the
Canadian Paciho The eonsummation
Of these two plans 10 something devout-
ly 90 be sought. The former is IN
