The COMING SEASON
IN BASEBALL. CIRCLES

President Garrett of the Spokane
baseball club says that the outlook
for a good season was never brighter
and that the fight on the coast Will
not make any particular difference to
the Z. n. l., at large.
"A lot of soreheads are the only
ones who have gone into the new or
ganization,' says Mr.. Garrett.
THAT man Marshall has made his
boast that he would bust the Pacific
Northwest league and he will do
everything In his power to do 1t. His
heart is no more with the new organ

Spokane is not amenable to the con-
ditions that obtain in the east, whose
prosperity is almost wholly gagged
by manufactures, but the prosperity
that comes is of a more lasting kind,
being founded largely on the soil.
We have enlarged within the past
year and look for a considerable in
crease in business from the larger
stocks and the additions made neces-
sary to our force of helpers.
We have no doubt that the city will
number all of 100000 Inhabitants
within five years.

Judging what the future will bring.
Our business is steadily forging
ahead, and it is due to the steadily
growing prosperity of the city.
We see no abatement of the pres

up and their promises are surely to
be Yelled upon to add to the cityS

THE RECORD OF THE DYING YEAR
PREDICTS PROSPERITY IN SPOKANE

gether with the immense growth and
upbuilding of the city of Spokane
has been noised abroad throughout
the east, with the result that all eyes
are turned toward Washington and
thousands are heading this way. AS
for the city OF Spokane, the fact that
the Canadian Pacific is to build into
this city and the Occur dAlene cleo
trio line, also the Graves street car
line that will be built this year will
give an impetus to Spokane never be-
fore known.

fact that low rates for hOmeseckers
will prevail this spring from the east
and bring many new consumers to
the section tributary to the city, the
fine business assured from the many
developed and producing mining
camps. and last, but not least, the
large returns from last years plente-
or will be sold, at high prices, should
assure n very good business FOR the
coming year.

Immigration will, I think, surpass
pre- Nious records. Building operations
within the city, both business and
residential, will assume great proper
tons and the demands of the builders
will be met with an abundance of ma
terial.
The chief source Of congratulation
will be that such prosperity as comes
will be lasting.
