business Outlook at Post Falls.

While at Post Falls this week thn
scribe had occasion to visit the plant
oI The Spokane & Idaho Lumber Conn
pany, and there met H. M. Strathern
the genial and obliglng manager Of
the concern. Mr.. Strathern Informed
the reporter that there were at pres
ent eleven men employed about the
mill and yards. and that three or four
more would be added to that number
before the end of the week. At pres
ent the forenoons are devoted to saw
ing and the afternoons to piling lum-
Der and other work about the mill.
When asked about the condition Of
Inc lumber market, Mr.. Strathern re-
Piled that it was quite brisk SO far as
sales wore concerned, but that prices
were no better and even lower than
last year. He seemed hopeful of the
future, however, and talked encoul ag-
ingly Of the time when he expects to
have full force OF men at work, anG
when business would warrant the
building Of a dry-kiln, the material
for which Improvement is already pre-
pared.
The Post Falls Woolen Mill Com
pany have finally decided not to move
their plant to Spokane, and are to
start up by the lst of April. Freder-
lck Post is now part owner in this
concern, having recently purchased
$4,000 worth of stock. Many sub
stantial improvements have been made
in the mill since closing down last
fall, and prospects OF success for the
enterprise are much better.
There is some talk of cement tac-
tory locating at Post Falls. and those
claiming to be Informed say positive
]y that the enterprise is assured.

A Popular Summer Resort.

Frank Lavigne, the Spokane gentle
man who is making arrangements to
build summer hotel at Spirit Lake,
will commence work on the structure
as soon as the condition Of the roads
IS such that lumber can be hauled on
the ground. He wishes to have the
hotel completed as early as possible
and is quite anxious to commence
work. In letter to w. III. Cleland
of this city, asking about the condi-.
tion of roads leading to the lake, Mr..
Layigne states that he has already
had more applications for board from
people who intend spending their sum-
mer vacation at Spirit Lake than he
will be able to accommodate. Most
of these are people from the city who
have heretofore spent their vacations
at Loon Lake and other Eastern Wash
ington resorts. Indications are that
Spirit Lake will be very popular re-
sort the coming summer, and those
residing at the lake should see that
ample accommodations are prepared.

Will Be Interesting For Her.

Mrs. Mary Wood of this city has
again commenced an action in the
district court, In which she prays for
a divorce from her husband, G. w.
Wood. This is her second attempt,
having brought a similar action at the
last term Of court, which was dismiss
ed by consent Of counsel, but she is
evidently determined to carry the suit
through this time. 1t appears that
last fall the case was settled out OF
court by the parties agreeing to GER
tain stipulations in settlement Of their
differences, and the suit brought this
week was a great surprise TO Mr..
Wood who proposes to fight it to
the bitter end. II the case is hotly
contested, which it no doubt will be,
it will prove suffic' emily interesting
for both sides, as it seems to be by no
means one-sided affair. r. e. Nc
Farland is attorney for the plaintiff,
Mrs. Wood, while the defendant, Mr..
Wood informs us that G. L. Heitman
will be employed to see to his side Of
the case.

We spent few minutes in the
establishment Of the Idaho Mercan-

see the immense stock of general mer-
chandise in their store. Their spring
stock has arrived and all lines Of
goods are complete. We noticed par
ticularly the complete assortment of

is very large. The genial and oblig-
ing manager, V. w. Sander, informed
us that business with the firm was
good. Their price-list appears else

Gossip has blackened and sullied the

THEY WE'RE DISMISSED.
But the DoxOlOgy Remains Unwept, Un-
honOred and Unsung.

The divine gift of song is not vouch-
safed to all mankind, and those who
join secret societies are, as rule, as
tuneless as the famous harp that orna-
mented Tara's halls. 1t is undoubtedly
true that when it comes to bad singing
every lodge of every society in the
United States can give every other lodge
of every other society some pointers.
The Elks of this city are no exception.
that order the palm, but the warbling of
the lark, the melody of the nightingale
or the soft and languorous notes of the
bull bul are not heard in their lodge
room any more frequently than in any
other.
Saturday night the members had a
sort of brief rehearsal, and everything
moved along smoothly until at the close
the presiding officer called for the
"Doxology." Then there was fun. The
doxology is not down in the ritual, yet
every member knew he ought to know
the doxology, why of course he did, but
still he preferred some other brother
should "pitch the tune" Every mem
Der looked at every other member, but
silence deep, dark and deadly settled
like funeral pail over the meeting.
Finally there was confused murmur
started, grew and suddenly burst forth
in full and magnificent discord. Judge
Bradshaw gently warbled anaaria from

Michel tuned up on "Annie Laurie, -
Bert Phelps broke forth in something
about eta ID ra ra boom d'aye," Charley
Phillips basso profundo popped up ap-
parently from the lower story of the

Judd Fish's rich contralto hummed that
favorite selection from II Trovatore en-
titled murphy Bought Billy Goat
He Bought it for a Kid" Harry Ions
dale lost his bearings and warbled,
''There's Only One Girl in This World for
Me-" Macarthur trilled trill about see-
| ing "Tbe Light of Other Days Around
Me-" E. o. Mccoy caroled few notes
of sin This Wheat Buy and Buy" and
every other member had tune of his
own that became blended and lost in
the pot pOurri. Finally they all came to
a stop and then one of the mem bers
whose name shall for obvious reasons
ever remain secret, said: "Why every
body knows, or ought to know, that the
doxology begins: When can read
nv title clear to mansions IN the
Skies" and then Johnny Hampshire
who had been trying for ten minutes II
make suggestion, fell at his post with
dull, etc. The doxology was then post
Doned.
