of the ice will be up to the standard.
On Monday men will be sent to
Loon, Pend d'Orielle, Liberty and
Occur d'Alene lakes to begin work,
and they are expected to have finish
ed the cut by the first of March. Cold
weather is expected on the lakes within
the week. Whether the ice companies
stand in with the weather man is not
known, but they state positively that
the cold season will start at once.
All the ice cut by the several COM
panies of Spokane will be used in the
city. None is exported. The amount
of ice used in Spokane in one season
is enough to startle anyone but the
ice man. Several hundred tons are
used daily, and at the end of the season
the figures go into the thousands of
tons.

saws one or two of the companies are

CONVENTION

1t is practically settled now that the
republican state convention will not
come to Spokane, and it is probable
there will be but one convention, not
two. w. M. Shaw of Spokane, who
represents the county on the state
central committee, is making no effort
to secure the convention.

the convention for Spokane. 1 have

played over 200 times.
Henry Clay Barnabee as the sher-
if of Nottingham, with his eagle eye
and massive brain, was the same old
Barnabee who has often delighted
Spokane audiences. Douglas Ruthven
as Robin Hood was good. Della Don

the star of the evening was easily
Agnes Brown as Maid Marian.
