Tho disaster is undoubtedly far moro
serious than that which overlook Seattle,
both ON account of its great extent and
the more substantial character of the
burned buildings. No account of losses
has yet been received. The Western Union
Office was burned out and all instruments
except one, which an operator is now
working on dry goods box just outside
the city, were destroyed. All the -four
and lumber mills were saved.
Spokane was one OF the most prominent
of the many new cities in the infant State
of Washington. Situated on the line of
the Northern Pacific railroad close to the
CGur d. klene mining region, the city has
been the site for many large industrial es-
tablishments, such as smelters and kindred
enternrises. Expensive public ediices
had also been recently erected, ana une
population was easily supporting two
prosperous daily papers.
The business district of Spokane was in
a strip between the Northern Pacific rail
road tracks and the Spokane river. This
strip was five squares across, and extended
about seven squares in length. 1t was
solidly built up with brick and stone
structures. the cost of which varied
from $500 to 1926, 900. Ten
banking houses, FIVE hotels, the opera
house, and many Wholesale establishments
doing business estimated at half a million
dollars each, were situated within the dis.
trict described. The estimate of a $50,
600, 000 loss is believed to be exagger-
ated Half that amount is thought to be
nearer the actual figure, assuming that the
reported complete destruction of the city
is correct.
The population of Spokane is about
90, 900. The city possessed an excellent
water works, modelled after the Holly
system, with a capacity of 1900, 900
gallons. There were no fire engines but

Cincinnati Liquor Men Ask for Leniency
and Promise TO Obey the Law.
At Cincinnati the saloon rebellion has
been formally ended in the police court
by tho granting of amnesty to the
offenders on the application of their attor-
ney. The trial of Jonn Warlinger was in
progress. He has been one of the most
defiant violators of the Owen law. When
the case was ready to proceed his attorney
said that Warhinger was one of those men
who met and openly agreed to violate law.
They had money invested and thought
they were justified in trying to make
money and they were in some measure ex-
cusable. Before a week had passed they
knew they were wrong. Having seen the
error of their way they now ask forgive
ness and promised obedience to the law.
Prosecutor Corcoran suggested that the
trial be suspended for thirty days unless
there were further violations. Judge
Ermston said that it had been demon
strated that the law could be enforced,
He was ready to meet the men half way
and would adopt tho prosecutors. sug-
gestion, but he added that if there were
no further violations there would be no
further prosecution. So the trial was
POSTPONED.

IDAHO WANTS TO BE A STATE.
Gov. ShOup's Clalms--The Mormon 0ucs-
ton a Stumbling Block.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. 49, George L.
Shoup, governor Of Idaho, in his annual
report gives the provisions OF the consti'
tuition which will he submitted to the
people for adoption at the election to he
held November i. Idaho, he states,
claims all the qualifications necessary to
the assuming OF the dignity and RESPONSE
biIty OF statehood. There has been a
steady growth in population and taxable
property, and large increase III produc-
tions. The yield Of valuable metals is
nearly double that Of last year. All these
Show. that Idaho is in the line Of progress.
The report states that there arc over
200 people in Idaho who are adherents
of the Mormon faith. The population OF
the territory is 1l3,777.
Polygamy, however, is not at the
present time openly -practiced in the
territory, but the governor adds that OF
the fact that it is practiced secretly to Il
limited extent there seems no doubt, as
indictments are found at nearly every
term OF court, and q number Of conyic-
tons have been secured. He states,
however, that he has reason to believe
that division of sentiment on the sub
iect of polygamy exists in the church.
Under the constitution polygamy will be
prohibited, and the insertion of this pro-
vision may be regarded rs an expression
of the voice of the people of the territory
on this subject. Allotments Of land to
Indians under the severalty act is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and with little oppo-
sition on the part of the Indians.

EIFPEL OUTDONE.
A Monster Swinging Tower Proposed for
the Worlds Fair.

New York, Oct. ga novel structure
is suggested to advertise tho worlds fair
and eclipse the Eifel tower. 1t is an i'm
mense swinging tower 1000 feet long
which will describe complete semi-circle,
passing from the horizontal to q vertical
position and continuing its course until it
again assumes horizontal position.
At the extreme end Of the tower will be
platform of car capable of accom-
modating ! 900 people and so constructed
that it Will adjust itself to the motion of
the tower and always retain horizontal
position. Thus in its course the tower
will describe semi-circle, the diameter
of which will be 1000 feet, constituting
what may be termed "a thrilling aerial
flight.
When the tower is in vertical position
the passengers on the self-adjasting plat
form will be something more ,nan 900
feet from the ground, which is greater
height than they can ascend by means Of
the Eiffel tower.
The swinging tower will also serve the
purpose of transporting people from one
part of the grounds to another. 1t may
be feasible to have two towers, one swing
ing from east to west and another from
north to south.
T. B. Powers, q mechanic, is designer
of the proposed tower. It consists in the
application on a colossal scale of the lever.

Queer Expressi0ns.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.-Judge Mather
P. Deadly, Of the Oregon federal circuit
and district court. before whom the
famous Sharon-Hill case was brought to a
hearing in Washington, wrote the opinion
declaring the famous marriage contract a
forgery, and Judge Sawyer concurred IN
the opinion. Being interviewed bya Post
reporter, Judge Deadly said: 81 came east
as Il delegate to the Episcopal convention
at New York. Yes, | sat in the Sharon
Hill case. The fact is that the woman
was merely his mistress. He gave her
$500 a month, furnishing her with mag
niicent quarter and spent money on her
lavishly. Her influence on Judge Terry
was undoubtedly bad. She urged him to
acts beyond even his own inclination.
In November she will be tried before me
for resisting the authorities. Very likely
she may, at some favorable opportunity,
attempt the life of Justice Field, Judge
Sawyer or my own. l predict she will die

New YORK, Oct. 23.-Rev. John Nc
Dowel! Leavitt OF the Protestant Episcopal
church has Withdrawn to become Re
formed Episcopal church minister. He
preached this morning on his reasons
for doing so in the 1st Reformed Epis-
copal church, Madison avenue and 5lst
street.
DIR. Leavitt declared he has been practi'
cally forced into his present position, and
his action was the outcome of long and
persistently fought battle between the
tenets of the Protestant Episcopal church
and the dictates OF his own conscience
His widest difference from the church
was on the supremacy of the scriptures
as the sole rule OF faith. The baptismal
office was, he said, in direct contradiction
to the article and homily on this point,
for the reason that while the office asserts
the regeneration of an infant in baptism,
the scriptures are silent on the subject.

WAS ELKINS TO BLAME?
A Chain OF Condolences That May Throw
Light on the Lead Ore Ruling Who
Was the Interested Party?

New York, Oct. 23.-Men in the lea(
trade are down in the dumps because O.
WINDOWS decision upon the Mexican
lead ore question, which leaves the Mex
leans or anybody else free to import sill
yer ores without paying the lla cents
per pound duty that the tariff says lead
ores ought to pay.
"The trade scarcely expected differ
ent decision" sad Il. A. Caswell, q rep
resentative lead broker, yesterday. at
has become q political question, and we
were not surprised that it was not decid-
ed upon its merits. The question simply
was whether these Mexican ores were
lead ores We asked for a hearing, and
the secretary of the treasury graciously
accorded us one. We produced over
whelming evidence to show that they
were known as lead ores, and not as sill
yer ores, and now, after long delay,
the secretary says he has no power to
decide the question. Why didn't he find
that out six months ago?
"We shall appeal to congress, but with
out much hope, because congress is intlu-
enced by politics.
"The secretary's decision has caused
great depression in trade and the price of
pig lead has gone down about per cent,
from $3.50 to $3.50. About one-half the
lead mines of this country wi be closed
unless the Mexican importation is
stopped"
The Herald says: "a curious story
was told in trade circles yesterday, giving
what is said to be the under the surface
history OF W;ndom's course. In the lat
ter part of August, Asst. Sec. Batcheller
prepared decision favorable to American
lead producers, requiring Mexican ores to
pay = cents per pound. Instructions
came from the president, who was then at
Deer Park, not to issue the decision. By
IN odd coincidence, Stephen B. Elkins
was at Deer Park at that time. Elkins,
by another similar coincidence, was in
Washington, it is said, the other day when
Sec. Window was preparing the present
decision, which is just opposite in effect
10 that which Mr.. Batcheller was pre-
vented from issuing. A third curious
uxtaposition is that the lead trust, which |
s benefited by Sec. WINDOWS decision,
las its offices at number l Broadway, on
he same floor of the Washington build |
ng where Elkins has his headquarters |
while in New York.
"Within the past two or three years it
s understood that Elkins has sold nearly
I'll of his northwestern silver mining
tocks and has put good deal of money
n railroad and other enterprises in the
northwest. He is also the heaviest own
r in the new railroad from st. Louis to
he southwest and is popularly supposed
o be interested in the lead trust.
"At all events, there is no doubling the
act that the decision OF Secretary Window
viii result in benefting the railroad COM
ANY referred to by permitting it to carry
he Mexican ores which have been the
ubject of dispute, and which form a large
art OF the freight carried over the line"
