The people of Spokane Falls are anx-
ious to have included in census reports
the population of suburban territory an
nexed to the city in July. The popula-
tion of the city in the June census was

is supposed, would increase the figure to
about 10000. Representative Wilson
presented the case to Supt. Porter and
that official informed him that it would
be impossible to take new census; that
the best he could do would be t. make
ii foot note giving the population of the
city as it is now constituted.

the largest banks at Spokane Falls,
closed it's doors Wednes-
day morning. Its immediate liabilities
are estimated at 100000. w. Hussey,
the cashier, claims the assets will exceed
the liabilities by s15O,OOO. The suspen-
sion was precipitated by the failure of
,hree branches in the Cpur d'Alene
mining district, viz: Bank of Wallace,
Bank of Wardner and Bank of Murray.
The bank has been known to be in tinan-
'ial straits for the past year, but hereto
ore it has been assisted by other banks.
The bank was formerly United States
depository, but the government with
rev its deposits about two weeks ago.

ance will be to withhold all support
'om newspapers that do not run alliance
apartments, or at least publish alliance
ews regularly. This arrangement does
OF compel the support of alliance meas
res or the advocacy of alliance demands
the part of these newspapers in their
litorial columns, but does compel GER
lin degree of friendliness on their part
nd amounts to an absolute boycott of
