Spokane Catholics LL,M Celebrate
the "Forty Hours DeU0ti0n."

A leaflet gotten out by the pastor
Of st. Aloysius' church announces
that on February 22 will commence
the forty hours devotion. This de-
votion is well known and lovingly
practiced in Catholic countries the
world over. and this will be the third
time that the members of st. Aloysi-

tunity of witnessing so touching
manifestation Of the beauty and
poetry of their religion.
The forty hours devotion consists

Corporations Organized
in Spokane During 1902

1t is beyond question that Spokane
Is second to no city in the west in
the matter of mining enterprises and
that more mining companies are
foated in Spokane than in all other
lines combined.
According to the records of the
county auditors Office PSI corpora
tions were organized during 1902. of
which 100. or nearly half. were in
corporated for the specific purpose of
engaging in mining. The capital
stock of these corporations ranges
from $1,000, 900 to s5,o00,O0O. Thus it
will be seen that an immense amount
of money is utilized in that branch
of business.
OF course. this money does not
come entirely from the pockets of
Spokane capitalists, but a large per-
centage does and the business of
each mining company is transacted
here.

in Manchuria was the dominant note in the
gathering. The possibility of taking any back

the object of the conference.

to opening Manchurian towns to foreigners was
not based upon opposition to foreigners, whose

Chinese Government in towns which prac-
