TALK OF SETTLEMENT.

There is still talk of the Pacific Ma
tional league and Pacific Coast league
coming to a settlement. Denied time
and time again by managers and the
president, the statement springs up
with remarkable persistency. Salt
Lake City and Ogden, the Utah cities,
have tried often to break into the
circuit of the Pacific National league
and the latest is that their efforts
are to be crowned with success. The
same brand of dope" also has 1t
that both the leagues are sick of the
fight In Portland and Seattle. While
neither side will retire, there Is moth
ing but loss of money for both, and
no matter how strong financially a
club IL no one will deliberately lose
thousands of dollars in q baseball
venture merely for fun. Another
choice brand has it that an altogether
new circuit will be formed Of the
coast cities of Seattle. Portland, Los
Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco and
Sacramento leaving Spokane, Helene,
Butte, Salt Lake, Ogden and some
other town in this circuit. 1t looks
good and plausible on paper. Anyway
there ought to be something doing
by July /.

SOME DIFFICULTY IN
ARRANGING DOCKET

The trial of the cases against Louis
ALBERT Peel, charged with theft from
the Northport smelter. is cutting
some figure with the special criminal
term of the superior court for this
county. The trial of the first Peel
case will commence before Judge
Richardson at Colville next Monday,
and the question here is how long
the trials will last.
Attorney Frank II. Graves Gold the
court today that the state had 33
witnesses for the first trial, while the
defense had a score or more. He
Furthermore said that the Stevens
county prosecuting attorney had
