Surprising Facts.

One of the best evidences of the
prosperity enjoyed in the Inland En-
pire today is the improved conditions
among the wage-earnerS. Heretofore
large share of this desirable class
of people have been rent burdened
for the privilege of living in homes
owned by other people. Today many
of them live in their own homes.
Keeping pace with the good times,
a vast Improvement has been made
in the systems by which homes can
be secured by wage earncrs. Speak
ing of this, II. V. Fuller of the
Washington Home company says: 1T
is surprising how many people are
taking advantage of our plan. We
have already bought and built many
homes in Spokane and elsewhere in
the state, and people earning small
wages are paying for these homes on
easy instruments. The no interest
plan is a winner. When a man calls
at our Office under the Marble bank
and learns that he can get a $1,000
home and need only pay $40 a month
for it. he invariably becomes q con-
tract holder

Pm. L. ANNUAL MEETING.

The meeting or the Pacific North
west league. which Is scheduled for
Seattle the latter part OF January,
is an event of much interest to the
faps bf these parts just now. Per-
haps the most important question to
be settled by the directors will be
whether or no the cities OF Salt Lake
and Ogden will bo admitted. Port
land was one of the chief opponents
to the expansion. There Is also con-
siderable opposition to such move
in Tacoma and Seattle. The general
opinion In Spokane Is that 1t would
be somewhat foolhardy to make such
an experiment when we have Sc
rious baseball war on our hands. 1t
Is believed Butte and Helena strong
ly favor the two Mormon cities. but
from the way in which they have
offered to stand by President Lucas
1t would appear that they will follow
dis dictates in the matter of expan-
sion.
