II would scarcely be reasonable to ex-
roct that all of the good men who have
been named for state officers from
among the residents of Spokane Falls
win be nominated. II is u remarkable
tGct, however that those of our citizens
thus far layorably mentioned have each
and all been first put forward by the
press and people of other parts of the
territory. In other words, their widely
proven merits, rather than any booming
from their partial friends at home, have
caused them to be iavorably regarded in
connection with the Offices OF the future
state. The name of Major IL. a. Routhe
has never been mentioned, for illustrar
ton, by any home newspaper
and perhaps it has not been known
by many of the majors friends here at
home that his name is being fnvorably
considered for a state Office, but it APP
pours by the following from the Tacoma
Globe that such is the case. II says:
"ilvcn the fire fond cannot daunt the
spirit of Spokane Falls, and she now
presents the name of Major IT, A. Routho
Tor lieutenant governor of the great
state OF Washington, Major Routhc
was formerly citizen OF Illinois, where
lie was a distinguished journalist. lie
served four years In the Union army;
was assistant adjutant general % I'LL
nois, and afterwards connected with the
railway commission OF that state. lie
has been resident of Washington for
several years, and is one of the many
stirring citizens of Spokane Falls. IL he
gets the nomination at Walla Walla he
viii be elected"
Tho Glope's remarks about Major
Routhe may be supplemented by an
assurance from the REVIEW that the gent
tleman stands very high in his homo
community and Ia worthy of any posi-
ton TO which he may be nominated,
We have also an cstimable man in the
person of w. &. Jones, who IS named tor
attorney general, ucis q lawyer ofiine
ability and public speaker of great
force and his friends throughout this re-
gion are too numerous TO be counted.
still another good man is named in the
person of Professor w. Il. Turner, VINO
is talked of Tor superintendent otpublic
instruction. As member OF the terri
torial board and as one interested in the
cause OF education he has achieved Il
high standing. Then there is Hon. John
L. Wilson, who is being spoken of in
high terms by the territorial pres> for
member Of congress. Also Col, T.. H..
Winston, who is advanced rs
another good man for lieutenant
governor Lastly but by no, means in
the matter Of Importance, may be mcu-
toned Judge George Turner and Hon. s..
G. Hyde whose names arc just now be-
ing considered I'm connection with the
United States senltorship. Either of
these gentelmen would do credit to the
state of Washington in the senate, and
one or the other will probably be put
forward by their fellow citizens when
the proper timo comes. Judge Turner
has made a splendid record as mcm-
Der of the constitutional convention.
Hon. Sam Hyde is an able lawyer and
has been resident of this city front its
infancy. His friends throughout the
territory are legion and the mention ol
his name in connection with the seun.
torial office 10 hailed with enthusiasm
both in the copntry and city.

LAST fall, when the republicans held
their convention for the selection of can
didates for county offices, some feeling
was developed on the part Of the country
delegates against the city delegates with
reference to the division of honors. This
time there appears to be an entire alb.
sence of any such feeling. On the con-
trary, there is disposition toward fair.
ness on both sides, and any effort to dis
turb the friendly relations now existing
would meet with a stern rebuke and it
would not be profitable to any person
who might make an attempt in that di-
rcction. In the selection of legislative
representatives an equal and fair di,
vision win be made and there will be no
attempt by either side to dictate to the
other. Tho interests of this city and
those OF its surrounding county are
identical, and this fact is becoming bet.
ter understood than ever before.

RNp1IpIICAN ACrIYITY.

II Is now rea lized by the republicans
Of the territory, and especially by those
of Spokane county, that the time for
activity Is at hand, The primaries for
the selection of delegates to the county
convention will he held on Saturday,
the 9th instant, and the county conyen-
ton will closely follow, being on the
29th. This leaves but little time for
preparation and conference, but mem
bers Oft the party appear to be fully alive
to the situation, and are falling in
line for u decisive campaign. Tho Lin
coin club, which meets once week, is
taking steps to increase its membership,
and another organization, known as the
Young Mems Republican club, is about
to be organized. AS this is to be the
first state election it is proposed by all
republicans who have been heard to eX-
press themselves upon the subject to see
10 it that the republican victory shall be
decisive. All those whose past pro-
civities have been with the republican
party aud who have ever been in sym
pathy with its principles will doubtless
join in this determination. The princi-
pies arc old and time-tried, but under n
territorial government it has been but
natural for party allignmcnts to be less
rigid than under Il state organization.
Now that asyro-enough governor is to be
elected by the people, and a voting
member of congress is to be sent to
Washington to assist in national legisla-
ton, and two senators chosen to repre-
cent the state in the higher branch of
congress- every republican recognizes
that the party responsibility is greater
than ever before and that the party
should have the loyal support of every
believer in its principles,

RAILROAD ISUMBLINGs.

Reports published a few days ago
from Montana afford strong indications
that the Manitoba road is to press on to
this city and from here to "the green
waters of Puget Sound. As the line has
been constructed as far west as the pres
ent terminus it is the reasonable thing
to expect IL to come further. Once CON
structed as far as Spokane Falls, there is
every reason 10 believe the road would
lind it to its further advantage to go on
TO the ocean, thus making it trans
continental line, Let il come. Tho
gate is open and the tributary resources
will be found TO be inexhaustible.
There are good passes yet available he
tween Eastern and Western Washington
and the sooner they are made use Of the
better it will be for the development of
this territory and lpr the COM
panies getting tho traffic. While
the Manitoba road is headed this
way from the Northwest, there appears
to be strong probability tnat the
Southern Pacific system may be ex-
tended from Portland to this point

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention stul Talks Abont
the state Lands.

The convention met at ?, the president
in the chair and forty nice, new chairs
awaiting occupants when the gdvel fell.
Dunbar moved TO 20 into committe of
the whole again on state lands, and IL
was so voted. Dyer resumed the chair.
rrossor continued his argument in favor
of retaining the school lands in the con-
troll of the state.
Dunbar said that in spite Of the
speech of Prosser he had not changed
his opinion, and that was that we could
not and ought not to try to fix a plan
for the management of the school lands,
but to leave that To the legislature, who
WILL NOT BE WOLVES ENoUGn
20 rob the children of the state of their
inheritance.
Gnmus thought Prosser's speech
should have convinced any person that
there was no possibility of argument
against the policy of holding these
lands.
Bowen called attention to the fact
that no part of tho principal OF tie school
fund could be spent, so It couldn't get
away, and that needn't frlghten any
body.
Piusser asked If Browne thought it
right 10 speculatc with trust property,
Browne thought if the state could
make money by speculating in the man
ncr he had indicated, he was willing it
should.
Cosgrove considered the report of the
committee as clear and feasible n plan
as any he had seen, lie did not believe
this convention knew enough OF
the circumstances to decide
whether leasing or selling
was the best plan, and was willing to
trust to time to let it mature, leaving
the legislature with fewer retrictions
rather than moro.
f. NJ. Rced thought it wise and safe
to adopt this section just al the COM
mitoe ret lorted IL.
Section was read, that not more than
one quarter of section of any land of
the state shall be offered for sale in one
parcel, and all lands within the limits of
amy incorporated city or within one milo
of the boundary of any Incorporated
city, where the valuation OF such land
shall he found by appraisement TO ex-
ceed 500 per acre shall, before the same
be sold, be plated into lots and blocks
of not more than four acres in II block
and not more than ono block shall be
offered for sale in one parcel.
Stiles said, let the legislature attend to
this; II was his reiterated cry.
Browne offered Il substitute dropping
out the one mile limit and substituting
NEAR any city,
Lillis favored tho committees section.
Browne amendment was lost. stiles
withdrew bis amendment and moved to
change 'iour acres" to five acres.h
Adopted by 1910 ID.

Weir protested against filibustering
and Esclielman called him 10 order.
Dunbar moved to rise and report pro.

Moore moved Ia rise and report pro-
