Views Growfog Fra1e Of Seattle
With Jeaiousy.
Special Dispatch to the Post-Yntesligencer.
REPUBLIC. May Ga representative OF
Spokane interests has been in town this
week for the purpose Of interviewing mer-
chants regarding their having their goods
shipped from Seattle instead Of Spokane.
He foune that many Of the heavy dealers
were ordering their goods from Seattle
and thus saving nearly half the distance
for hauling by teams. the road from Re-
public landing, formerly JohHsons land
ing. having baen shortened 10 forfy-eight
miles To coun.erac4 this the Spokane man
advocated the building Of q wagon road
over the Sherman pass Afrem Kettle Falls.
The fact is that a wagon road can never
be built over the pass. nor over what Is
called the state road" over which
load of freight can be hauled. Parties
have been coming over the pass all spring
On foot by scores. and without exception
they report the route impractioable as a
freight road. both on account of the eieya-
tion and the snow, which is still five feet
deep. and cannot be crossed On foot except
early In the morning when frozen. Near
the summit country hotel accommodates
the pedestrians. which they reach at night
and cross the summit early the next morn
ing.
If Seattle will make the proper enort
the matter OF supplying this camp be-
longs to her. II the present increase con-
tinues II will be no small item, and may
lay the foundation for the Great Nortaera
TO build a branch road TO this camp.
A long-distanee telephone will soon be
completed to this camp. A local telephone
system is also being put in.

The Outdoor Woman.
Harpe-'s Bazar

The subject of bicycle touring Is one
which has been widely discussed. and in
regard to which a great deal of advice
has been given. Lists Of the necessary ar
ncies to be taken as baggage upon the
wheel have been made out, and a multi
tude OF directions have been laid down
governing the proper equipment in gen.
erai Nothing that the tourist could pos
sibly need has been omitted. but-snd here
lies the missake-a vast number of things
which she could dispense with have been
included IN this outfit. From tais cause
largely has come the dissatisfaction which
has been expressed regarding bicycle
tours. Too many Of them have been un-
dertaken by persons 80 oyerburdened with
alleged 'conveniences' that theirs trip has
resembled that Of g freignt-ladeu caravan.
The secret of pleasurable tour lies, in
a great measure, In the iightest possible
equipment. The tourist on a wheel cam
not expect an the travelling iaxuries 10
be found in a drawing room car. and the
more strictly she limits her list, the more
comfort she will have.
A plan which has beer followed with
mucn success by a man and his wife who
live In the suburbs might Well be adopt
ed by tourists IN general. They carry
with them as baggage little else besides
few toilet articles These are packed In
To strong bag Of brown linen made with

elsewhere. and drinking cup is another
necessary article No attempt is made TO
carry any extra clothes; but arrangements
are made 20 have these sent on by ex-
press TO the hotels or houses at which the
tourists are TO stop on their journey. This
plan requires that tue roate shall lac care
fully planned before thu start i< made
and that the cyclists shall adhere faith
fully TO their programme. Arrived at
each nights stopping place. they find a
bag of fresh clothes awaiting them and
having taken these out, they repack the
