a dazzling array of facts and fig
ures tell the story of the building
of the mammoth underground road.
For instance, more than 5000, 600
cubic yards of dirt and rock were
blasted and dug from the streets of
the crowded city. To tear away the
rock 100000 pounds of dynamite were
used. Eleven thousand men were en-
ployed in the work and of this num-

1t is estimated that the road will
carry 115,00o.000 passengers a year
The fare Is 5 cents. When the ex-

GR0CERS

Spokane grocers who are In the
great local trust organized for the
purpose OF compelling consumers to
pay more money for what they eat
have cleared the decks for action In
what Is to be a fierce war Of exter-
mination. The proposed victims of
the trust are the grocers who have
refused to Join the combination to
force up prices for the laboring men,
who are now compelled to pay out
all of their earnings to the trust gro-
GERS and butchers.
The grocers' trust has been In ex-
istence for some years. but has never
been forced into publicity until late
ly when brains and capital entered
Spokane to fight the greedy ones. The
venture was at first cried down. but
so strong has grown the opposing
firm that the grocers have been COM
PEELED to reorganize the trust In order
to maintain themselves.
This reorganization was made pub

are quoted ITO foster a permanent
social feeling among the grocers of
the city. to obiiterate distrust and
inspire confidence, to correct excess

to remove evils and customs which

Our desire is going

The ancients may have meant de-
sire when they talked about heart.
Us not desire the heart of a person?
Desire governs our thoughts and acts
so far as we have freedom.
Why ii is an error to wish others
misfortune or to glory in their having
trouble?
We see others doing it and il Is a
common temptation, but ii is In error
because ii helps to sustain discord on
earth and war among men.
In every nation there is a peace Gle.
ment and a wal element. You and |

In nearly every organization or as
ISOLATION and in many homes the two
elements may be found. II for better
methods and one for the products of
ignorance.
The best victories are lot those
which cause trouble for the enemy,
but which rather cause the enemy to
respect you and confess his previous
error.
A desire for the right kind Of a VIC
tory gives patience, wisdom and op.
portunity. For success ii must be a
genuine desire for peace on earth and
