THE SPOKANE TRACTION CO.

Never did the future hold forth
brighter prospects for Spokane than

the first railroad in 1883, has there
been a more promising outlook for it's
growth and the further development

Germs engaged in various lines of
business In our city are inseparably
bound up with its prosperity. and in

and development, but no enterprise
is fraught with greater promise Of
furthering this growth and develop

organized last March with a capital
of 100000. but 1t is vigorous and

THE HARDWOOD COMPANY.

That the dairying industry of the
Inland Empire is very important
one is attested by the large number
Of fine creameries that are to be
found within it's boundaries and that
it is an industry destined to assume
gigantic proportions Is evident to
every one acquainted with the condi-
ton. The principal growth of this
enterprise has. however. been with
In the last five or six years. The
farmers began to see that they were
overlooking great source Of profit
and together with the advent of the
hand cream separator. it has led to
rapid and radical changes in their
methods Of farming, while the number
of creameries has doubled and their
output increased tenfold.
Among these institutions there is
none more deserving Of patronage to
the fullest extent than that of the
Hazelwood company, whose large
plant at 500 Second avenue is one Of
the largest and best equipped west
of the Rocky mountains. This COM
pany is one Of the pioneers of the
industry in the state. being one Of the
Oldest now in existence in the North
west. From modest beginnings, they
have. by intelligent enterprise and a
constant aim to produce nothing but
the purest and best butter and ice
cream. built up one of the finest in
dustries of its kind in the world.
Besides their large plant in this city
they also have a plant in Portland.
Oregon, the largest in that state, and
one at Sioux City, Iowa, than which
there is no larger or better equipped
plant of it's kind in the world. Their
trade has assumed gigantic proper
lions. the products of their cream
cries reaching all parts of the United
States. and the brand "Hazelwood"
stamped on all the tubs and wrap
pings containing their goods has be-
come known everywhere as a syno-
nym of purity and fine flavor Few
people in Spokane fully realize the
Importance of this company's plant in
this city. Their pure and delicious
ice creams go from here to all parts
of the Inland Empire, while their well
known butter goes to all parts of the
United States. They each year pay
out nearly $4,000, 900 to our farmers
for cream paying the highest price
per pound of any of our creameries,
while the wages of their employees
amount to over $1,000,0 900. 1 The Ha-
zelwood Company was the'first COM
pany in this country to adopt the
pasteurizing of cream and to employ
graduate chemist to continually test
and guard against any impurities in
its cream and products, while the ma
jority of the machinery, in their
plants has been devised for their spe-
cial use. The marvelously rapid in
crease of the demand for their prod
ucts renders any attempt to place a
limit on their future growth an i'm
possibility.

DENOUNCES THE
 CITIZENS UNION
GREATER NEW YORK DEMOCRACY PLEDGES ITS SUPPORT TO Me- cLELLAN, CIRCUIT AND FoRNEs. DEVERY Alto NOMINATED.

New York, October 5.--The only deci- sive move today in the political cam paign was taken by the convention Of the Greater New York democracy, led by John c. Sheehan, tonight unanimously adopted resolutions denouncing the course of the Citizens Union and Republican conventions, declaring that the organiza- tion now stood on purely party basis and pledging itself to the democratic ticket headed by Mcclellan, Grout and Fornes
 The Citizens Union met and adjourned until tomorrow without coming to any decision regarding the fusion candidates for comptroller and aldermanie president. It is now definitely settled that whatever action the fusionists may take, Grout and Fornes will remain on the Tammany ticket. MT. Grout resolutely refuses to be busted from the fusion ticket and de- clares his determination to defend his position in the courts. In response to a statement issued by Mayor Low this morning, declaring that he had no recol- lection of a second conversation with MT. Grout, the latter replied caustically to the effect that the mayors failure to re- member could not be considered a direct denial
 MT. Fornes broke silence tonight by is- suing a statement that he, like MT. Grout, has consulted with the mayor relative to his acceptance of a democrat ic nomination to which he says the mayor appeared to perceive no objection. MT. Fornes also said that he would not re- tire from either ticket, although he would take no legal action to compel his retention on that of the fusionists. The adherents of William S. Devery held a convention tonight and formally nomi- mated him for mayor

HEATING NOISE NUISANCE.
Judge Coleman and Mayor Drennen
 Confer About Twenty-first Street.

A conference was held yesterday be. tween Judge A. A. Coleman and Mayor Drennen regarding the abating of the noise nuisance on Twenty-frst street. The circuit court room is next to Twenty-first street, and Judge Cole man gave orders last winter to have the street closed up while court was in session, it being claimed that it was practically impossible to carry on the business of the court because of the constant rumble of passing ye- hicles.
 It is understood that some of the property owners along the street be- tween Third and Fourth avenues threaten to sue the city for damages if the street is closed up again this year.
 Mayor Drcnnen thinks the only solu- tion for tte matter temporarily is to have a carload of sand strewn along the vitrified bricks as was done for a time in the spring.
 Several methods hayo been tried to abate the evil, but the removing of certain parts of the pavement seems to have done little good. The sand will be put along the street by tomorrow, as that was the time limit set by Judge Coleman. If it is not done then he will order the street closed.

ADJUSTMENTS.
openinq of the Bijou.

The second season of the Bijou was in- augurated last night with Homer Null laney, in "Wealth and Poverty" a drama aboundng in action and climaxes galore. In every act there was a fight of one variety or another, and the desperate character" and the hero were given free rein to show what was in them.
 The play is wonderfully exciting. The audience gasped for breath several times when the hero seemed to be getting the worst of it, and the villain was all but finishing some dastardly deed which would send from one to five into eternity, but each time something prevented.
 There was no lack of applause from the audience, and curtain calls were answer ed after each act. The house was well filled. The balcony held its convenient capacity, while the top" house was packed and the lower floor was more than two-thirds filled. Several box parties oc- cupied the loges.
 Homer Mullaney Is a clever actor. As the constable himself" he has much comedy to enact, and he showed that he was exceptionally apt in that particular line. His lines frequently enlivened the play.
 The other member of the cast who stood out conspicuously was w. J. Woods, as James Hadley, lawyer and general as- sistant to the william, which part was well played by Herbert Warrent.
 Of the women Minnie Stanley was the best in the role of the village belle.
 One of the noticeable features of the opening was the orchestra. It is an inn provement over last night, and if it con tinues to improve with practice it will be a drawing card. The house last night was decorated elaborately with ferns.

HIGHW WAYMEN GET
 PATTERSON'S $2OO
TWO NEGROES BEAT A WELL KNOWN CITIZEN OF JEFFERSON. MIR. PATTERSON WAS DRIVING IN HIS BUGGY.

Two negro highwaymen struck M. J. Patterson, who lives near East Lake over the head with sticks Sunday night near Avondale and while he was lying uncon- scious in his buggy they robbed him of S200 in money.
 According to MT. Patterson he had just collected the money and was returning home with it in his pocket. He was driv- ing along slowly when one of the negroes called him and asked some trifling ques- tion. The other negro slipped up be- hind Mr. Patterson and struck him over the head several times with the stick knocking him unconscious.
 The negroes then searched the white mans s pockets and took the money. When MT. Patterson recovered consciousness the horse was trotting along the road on the way home. He had started off as soon as the negroes left the buggy, and was within a short distance of home
 The robbery was reported to the sherif's 8 office yesterday morning and descrip- ton of the negroes given. MT. Patterson's s injuries are painful, but not serious.
