MILL THE WHEAT AT SPOKANE
A Matter Of Importance to Ali Con-
cerned.

A Matter Of Importance to All Con-
oern.d
Palouse Gazette,
Spokane has awakened to the de-
mands of the situation, and Is no
longer content to allow small por-
tion of the wheat of the Palouse
country to pass through the city EN-
route to market. Such condition
OF affairs could benefit that thriving
city but little and indirectly, while,
If the wheat can be milled at Spo-
kane, she will become herself the
market Of the entire section. The
present facilities for the transporta-
tion of the wheat of the country are
entirely Inadequate, and the RE
VIEW very wisely concludes that
the ratio of production will continue
to increase much faster than railroad
construction, thus making the con-
gestion of traffic u question of far
reaching import. Why should not
Spokane become the milling conter
of this vast wheat-producing Edo
ist elsewhere In this country? She
has n water power conceded to be
superior to that of Minneapolis, and
her enterprising citizens will not be
backward In taking in the i'm
portance of the situation and push
ing this great project with the same
energy and persistency with which
httf I
beautiful city from the ashes of the
old.
This Is not IA question of less i'm
portance to the farmers and mer-
chants of the Palouse than to Spo-
kane. In fact, 1t is in every way of far
more vital importance. Spokane
will live, If she does not become u
milling center. But the farmers
will have to sell their wheat as now,
minus the heavy freight charges 10
Portland and the Sound. With
immense warehouses at Spokane
for storage, this would all be done
away, and the short haul would be
of immense benefit to all. Beside,
the advantage of the transportation
of the manufactured and concen-
trated product to the East and the
seaboard, the farmers would reap an
advantage from the fact that the
milling companies would be able to
combine in the making of rates for
their flour, n thing which can not
bc accomplished by the farmers
with their raw wheat. The result
would be that every bushcl of wheat
in the Palouse country would APP
proach several cents nearer the
price paid mt Portland or Tacoma.
Another fact Is indisputable
Whatever Is for tho building up of
Spokane IL for the benefit of the
farmers of the tributary country.
AS Spokane is to certain extent
dependent OH the ranches and
farms, so the farmers would be bene-
fitted by the prosperity of the form
or. 1t Is an inter-dcpendent rela.
ton. The money that goes from
the cities and the farms to Spokane
would remain in the country, and
much of IL again find its way into
the pockets of the agricultural
classes. Whereas, If Spokane has
years of struggle, much of the money
that flows i'm from the outside will
necessarily go East for the purchase
of manufactured goods not there
produced.
This Ia n question that the press
of the county and surrounding coun-
try should take up and agitate.
Every hamlet and inclpient city Is
interested as we'll as every farmer.

Mr., Jesse Coulter, Of Murray, man.
ager of the Spokane Hydraulic Min

for few days. He was seen ut the
Hotel Spokane Friday night, and in
answer to an inquiry as to the

APPEABANCEs are not wanting to in
dictate that the country is upon the verge
OF n mild panic. Repeated hurrics Ia
Wall street means something particu-
larly when they are borne out by gen.
eral feeling of doubt and general lack
of confidence in money centers. 1t is
hardly probable that this will develop
into alarming proportions. 1t is difficult
to determine tho causes that bring II
about. The country is prosperous and
there is u notable lack OF the speculative
fever. Its origin is probably traced tu
| restricted circulating medium. Lalor
came the customary autumn demand for
money with which to move the crops
! This brought about the recent furry.
When It became apparent that the Nc
killey bill was to become law, import
ers ordered large stocks OF imported
goods and products and that required u
dangerous drain upon the money of the
| country. A sharp advance in farm
products has also had the effect of re-
quIring u larger measure of money. All
these causes have tended to batter down
the prices OF stocks and securities, and as
u consequence Wall street has become
alarmed.

AFTER the worry and turmoil of cleo
ton times, it is pleasing TO note the
faintest indication of a return by the
public to those questions and topics that
excite discussion only when politics arc
waning. "Subscriber" sends in the fol-
lowing queries: "First--Is it correct or
incorrect for q gentleman in full dress
to wear gloves at tue thcater2 Second
Should a gentleman who finds himself
in the presence of "a lady while riding in
the elevator of business block, remove
his hate" Whether or not TO wear
gloves in full dress is largely matter
for individual determination. Either
is in good form, though the prevailing
mode is to sit gloveless. Prior to the
visit to the United States of the Grand
Duke Alexis, gloves were demanded.
The grand duke appeared at tho theater
in New York with ungloved hands, and
that established n craze. Since then
there has been a slight reaction. As to
the elevator question, that is u conun-
drum that has gone the rounds of many
| of the larger cities and upon which the
\ public aro divided. Circumstances
| should guide to considerable extent.
/ IL the weather is severe, quixotish no.
tions should not compel one to expose
himself to n severe cold. In general
way, the REVIEW believes the ladies' will
not insist upon this rather strained dis.
play of gallantry.

An open river to the sea would did
materially in relieving the congestion OF
the railroads. Since the transcontinental Al

products to market

The State Teachers Association
will convene in this city on Deem

sion. w. NJ. Heiney, OF Tacoma,
president of the association, has is
sued circular to the teachers and
school officers of the state, in which
he says:
Every teacher in the state is needed
by the association, and we feel warranted
in saying that every teacher needs the
association. In the past the orguniZa-
tion has been too much of u City teach
ers' clan, but now that II is a fixture IL
deserves the recognition and support OF
every man and woman in the profession.

unite (amiust the approving smiles OF
the college proiessors) and bear one
another's burdens, exchange trials and
opinions, as well as ABSORB the enthu-
| sIasm and professional zeal OF the
whole.
THE exhibit of school work will be
made conspicuous part of the meeting
this year, and tne,couniry teachers, city
superintendents, college and state insti-
tuition presidents, are urged to contrib
ute 10 this popular feature of educational
incentives. For particulars write Pro-
fcssor Frank J. Brown, president execu-
tive committee, seattle, Washington.
I'VE respectfully request that all
school boards assist US in making this
meeting great success by following the
example set last year by the liberal
board of education of Spokane: That OF
continuing the wages OF all teachers dur.
ing the week such teachers attend the
meeting. 1t was this generous spirit
that secured to Spokane Falls this year $
meeting.

The Oaksdale sun thinks that the cost

would outweigh the advantages to be de-

his own place an elevator capt.
bic Of holding all that his farm will pro-
duce. II this were done tho iarmer
would not be obliged to sell his grain in
order to save it, and could hold it for

narles before another harvest ripons, yet

found unprepared by any unexpected
event such as the present season fur

Special Correspondence OF The Leader.
IVA, Wyo., Aug. 2S.-Tuesday after

tachment of the Republican candidates,

henchman Mr.. George Leaning, arrived

ploYes Of the Teschemacher & De Billier
Cattle company, which latter, with but
n or two exceptions, are good Demo
Gratis, filed the school house. Mr.. II. e.
Teschemacher. the chairman, introduced
MIR. Davidson, who commenced by saying
he would endeavor to show why be
thought the Republican party deserved
the votes of the electors, and with that
aim tackled the tariff question. He
traced the effect a tax for revenue pur-
poses has had from its inception to the
present date, and SAID whenever there

cited as selling in this country before there
was any OF it manufactured here at 800
per ton, but when a duty was LEVIED on it
OF twenty-eight per cent, manufactures
OF it sprang into existence and the price
to the consumer went steadily down.
Many other industries we're likewise
cited, among them tin plates; only in this
instance the foreign makers of the article
managed to undersell the native makers.
From the tariff he branched off to the
claim the Democrats make that they will
give a more economical administration Of
state affairs if they be entrusted with the
management, aud to show how fallacious
their contention is he gave a statement Of
the expenditures of the county commits.
sioners of this county under both parties.
But as it might have weakened his case
to have given us some information as to
how the money was expended, he was
wisely silent on that matter.
On the whole his argument on the tariff
question was verv superficial and weak.
MIR. Leaning followed Mr.. Davidson,
and confined himself 10 landing the Re-
publican candidates, and in particular Mr..
Carey and Mr.. @. d. Clark. and bellittling
the Democrats, singing out Mr.. Baxter
as the one on whom to vent his spleen. 1
will pass over what he said and only re-
mark that all of his statements regarding
Mr.. Baxter were on their face so untrue
hat they only evoked a smile. In the
words of a great English statesman, Mr..
Leaning is evidently intoxicated with
the cxubcrance of his own yerbosity."
The aspirants for state senatorial and
state legislative honors respectively we're
mute. Take it all together, the meeting
was a failure.

~monopolists BY the tariff placed on Cana.
da coal of the same nature. If this tax
were removed in exchange for its small
contribution of this special coal Canada
would take 10000 900 tons a year OF our

from Wyoming.
Our iron will be developed when there
is a demand for it, when the industry is
put on a business basis by wiping out the
tariff. With a contracted market, and

was most vigorous and lucid.

cratic house nominees, was quiet and caus-
tic in his short ermon on the text THE
Tariff is a Tax" Carey and Warren
hate this little sentence and consider the
final word particularly vexatious. Judge
Carey went before the Laramie county
commissioners and protested because his
two lots, just below the statehouse, on
Capitol avenue. were listed at 81, 500. He
insisted that 50. 200 would be about right.
No realty man would value this property
at less than 81, 1000 and Carey has repeat
eddy been offered SIS, 900 for it. The
poor man who owned a little home worth
$1,000 usually turned it in
at $3.50. In Natrona county
the official paper, a Republican organ,
mentioned in the commissioners pro.
ceedings the reduction of the assessments
of four concerns in which Judge Carey
was heavily interested. In each OF these
cases the tax valuations had been lowered
from $500 to $1,000. Governor Warren
