SPOKANE TAKES INITIATIVE.
The Chamber of Commerce Gets Out
Circular Letter Appealing to the
Inland Empire.

A movement, fostered by the Spokane
chamber of commerce, looking to the
expenditure of united efforts among the
people of the state of Washington and
especially of the central section or In
land Empire, for the purpose of secur-
ing all the benefits to be derived from
the reclamation fund, Is now on foot.
In circular letter sent out by Secre-
tary A. /. White. emnating from the
special irrigation committee Of the Spo-
kane chamber the following ideas are
set forth:
Under the United States Reclamation
Act, a fund of S27 900 600 has been set
aside to be used in the irrigation of arid
and semi-arid lands in certain western
states and territories. Washington,
Oregon and Idaho are named as benrn-
Charles under this law. 1t is made the
duty of the secretary of the interior. as
far as practicable TO give each state and
territory named. the benefit of The ma
ior portion of the funds arising from
the sale of public lands in that state or
territory. The fund already set aside
for purposes OF irrigation. will be in
creasing each year so long a. there are
sales of public lands being made in
these states. The secretary of the in
terror may temporarily use the funds
available for any one of the irigable
states, for the benefit of another, if he
deems it advisable to do so. The use OF
this money and the services of the Unit
ed States engineers, will not be forced
upon fogy, sleepy, or non-enterpri-ing
state, when there are other states and
territories ready, willing and cucrgcti-
cally reaching out for this generous as
sistance.
Realizing the Importance Of this mat
ter to the state OF Washington. and the
surrounding country. the Spokane cham

mittee of nine members. representing
various lines OF business, for the purpose
of arousing the interest of the Inland
Empire to the Importance of this work
and asking the cooperation of every in
dividual in making the most OF this
present opportunity.
There are two OF three undertakings
now under consideration by the reclama-
ton bureau. which will call for an eX-
pcnditue of some millions of money in
these three states. Anything that ben
Gifts amy portion OF this great state or
the surrounding country will materially
benefit every tax payer
I'VE want united action and to that
end we wish TO call together Il conven-
ton of all people interested in irriga
tion and reclamation matters at as early
a date in September as possible, to be
held in the city of Spokane. and aim to
ask the support of the newspapers i'll
circulating our invitations and arous-
ing an interest in this matter Said
convention will he addressed by various
speakers from all over the country,
particularly by Mr.. Maxwell, of tne
National Irrigation association. who is
perhaps the best informed gentleman on
these subjects in the country. At this
meeting the reclamation act will be the
subject of study and discussion and we
expect to have speakers to demonstrate
the merits of irrigation here in this re-
zion. and we hope to have speakers from
other states, showing the good work that
has been done in other sections.
I'VE invite the cordial cooperation of
every section of the country in the In
land Empire, and with that end in view,
are addressing letters to editors and
representative men and commercial bo-
dies throughout that region. requesting
them to send delegates to the conven-
ton, tho date for when has not vet
been fixed. Special rates over the rail

INTERCITYS WON GAME
PIattsburg's Errors Caused It's Defeat
In Yesterdays Game Across
The Lake.

Paitsburgh, n. Y, July I5.-The
Barre Montpelier base ball team was too
much for Plattsburg yesterday afternoon
and defeated them by score of 5 tos In
closely contested game. plattsburg
scored first, making one run in the third.
The lntercitys more than evened up mat
ters IN the fourth, however, by bringing
IN three scores. Pattsburg made another
In the sixth and ended the game with a
third tally. The visitors finished strong
with two scores. Dresser was in the box
for the visitors and scanlon for the home
team.
Dresser had the game all his own way
until the ninth inning when he went into
the air like rocket. As he didn't come
down Sheldon was sent in and he did the
business. Plattsbnrg secured only six
hits oil Dresser, while the little left hand
eT famed seven Of them. He, however,
gave three passes to first on balls and hit
two men Scanl0n was touched up for
only five hits, but he gave four bases on
balls. Only three Of the Barren -Montpe-
lier combination struck out.
Poland was on second and his position
at right was taken by sheldon. The out
fielders, with the exception of Stewart
had little to do, few balls being batted
that far Stewart had four put outs
Poland played a snappy game at second
accepting nine chances without an error,
four put outs and five assists. He also se-
cured a tw0-bagger at the bat Nash also
hit the ball well, getting two safe ones, a
single and two-bagger
Plattsburg put up ragged game in the
field, making six errors, some of which
were directly responsible for sthe visitors
scores. Daley. the new man from Syra-
cuse, contributed two misplays on third.
Shuttle at short duplicated the perfor-
nance, while Dunn and Scanlon aided the
Intercitys.
In contrast the visitors played fast
fielding game, making but two errors.
There was no scoring until the third
when Scanlon hit for single, was ad-
Yanced on a put out and an error by Dor
man. Barre Montpelier captured three in
the following inning Dunn's and Daley's )
errors being largely responsible. The
home team got another III the sixth bv
punching hits, two singles and a double
by Shuttle. Plattsburg made two errors
IN the eighth and Nash came to time with
O NVuotcf scOItnS Two runs.
Il looked doubtful for the visitors In the
ninth inning. Dresser passed Shuttle and
Stroh, and then Davis made his fast hit ILL
ing the bases. Dresser then forced In run
by hitting Soanlon. Dresser was pulled
out Of the box and sheldon called in from
right field. It was all off for the home
team then. The next two men batted
easy grounders to the Infeld and wereout.
