GROWTH OF UNION LABOR
IN SPOKANE.

According to statements made last
evening at Central Labor hail by
some of those who are prominently
connected with the promotion of
trades uniunism, the progress of the
labor movement in Spokane within
the past year is unprecedented.
with the exception of n few of
the international bodies. Spokane two
years ago was one OF the most poor
~ organized cities in the country
and was advertised far and wide as
the very hothcd of non-lnionsim Its
reputation. however, has SO complete
~ changed that national organizers
who have visited the city have CON
graduated the trades council upon
the fact that the work of organza
tion is in Il more iIUurishing condi-
tion here than in any other city in
the country.
"Such llattering words said the
secretary of the council, Horace
Brown, coming from the lips of
men who have been thoroughly idcn-
titled with the cause of labor for
many years, are certainly to be
priced. At the present time every
craft is represented in the trades
council and they are SO completely
organized that a nonunion man is
very hard to find"

SANTA CLAUS COMES.

Five hundred children Of all ages,
classes and conditions, brimful Of
laughter and eyes bright with ex
pectancy. jammed the mezzainne floor
of the Whitehouse Dry Goods com
pany yesterday afternoon and rs
many more were hurrying to the
scene as the news was spread more
rapidly than the telegraph could have
done that Santa Claus was making n
preliminary visit and inquiry to the
children of Spokane.
A sure enough Santa, with jingling
sleigh bells ana a bounteous tree, had
departed from the store and in an
hour or two afterward returned and
with him came the juvenile cohorts.
The excitement in the childhood
world was intense and up to the hour
of closing the kids continued to come.
Santa Claus gravely addressed the
throng and investigated each child's
record for goodness, after which he
presented each. good and bad alike,
with a very pretty picture book.
The crowd WAS 50 dencc that one
little tot was overcome ana the man

attendance, after which she was

assistant postmaster is issuing a
money order TO Chinaman who
is sending to CELESTIAL friend for

YES of the opportunities and ad
vantages, and they will not be
disappointed, for there is no part
of the state that is at present
settling up faster than this sec.

large amount of school land that
Schleicher county had TO be pla.
ced on the market last year.
But We have not seen the end of
the rush yet for there is still a
greater amount of these lands to
come on the market within the
next five years, and every foot Of
it is good for either grazing or
agricultural purposes. This is
principally q stock raising coun'

acres of as good farming land as
can be found in any section Of

until the farmers find it out in a
practical way either. People
still continue to come in here,
and the county is settling up
with a good class of citizens.

away to the teudaicy to say
