CHINESE
BOYCOTT
AFFECTS
SPOKANE

Spokane and Seattle's trans Pacific
commerce has been made to suffer a
loss of nearly 100000 in one single
instance as the result of the boycott
placed against American goods by
the Chinese. The loss was sustained
by the Centennial Mil company of
the two cities, of which Mr. MoritZ
Thomson is president. An order for
100000 sacks of flour placed with the
Centennial mill was cancelled as re-
suit of the boycott which the Chinese
organized against American products.
Mr. Thomson returned Saturday to
Ceattle from 10 days trip to San
Francisco.
''rhe boycott has already seriously
affected u.s." said MIR. Thomson in
Seattle yesterday. II do not pretend
to say what our government should
do in this crisis. 1t is fact. how
ever, that the attitude of the Chinese
merchants has already seriously dam
aged the trade between the Pacific
coast and the orient. We had placed

gold and silver to be found in differ
ent localities on the reservation. AL
though the exact location of the de-
posits is not yet definitely known.
OF the total area over 1000. 900
acres have been placed in permanent
forest reserve which guards the tim
Der but does not stop the mine hunt
ers Two hundred and fifty thousand
acres have been reserved for the In
dams to Craze their herds; 3S40 acres
have been taken for the Fort De-
chesEe military reservation; 10000
acres have been allotted to the In
dams IN scveralty. This leaves about
100000 acres for actual settlers.
OF this remaining area about three.
fourths are practically valueless for
agricultural purposes, but the rest is
very desirable. More of the land may
be made available by irrigation.
Today there is no railroad nearer
than 10 miles to the reservation. but
the fact that gilsonite is found on
the reservation will soon change this.
The newly built Uintah railway from
Mack, Col, to it's present terminus
at Dragon, Utah, which serves the
purpose of hauling gilsonite from the
mines at Dragon, will quickly be eX-
tended to connect with the Gilsonite
deposits In various parts of the res
ervauon. That will be of great help
to the settlers and will considerably
increase the value of their lands.

country fairly.
THE truth of the matter is that the
Chinese officials feel that we have
not lived up to the spirit of our treaty
with China. The radical, not to say
autocratic enforcement of the Chi
nese exclusion act, has caused our
trouble. The privileged classes in
China should have the same courtesy

OWNS WATER
OF R0SSLAND

There is trouble ahead for Ross
land, b. c. John Harryman of Sc
attic is in Spokane preparing to de-
velop the o. X. mine of Rossland,
which he recently acquired. In this
development he says he will use all
the water in Little Sheep creek Much
of this water now is used by other
mines and by the town of Rossland.
Mr.. Harryman claims this water by
an old right. the possession of which
he secured when he made his settle
ment with the Old National bank Of
Spokane.
This Is one of the best properties
in the Rossland camp said Mr..
Harryman today. 1.-TWO hundred
thousand dollars already have been
taken out and l propose now to com
mence work on a new plan and put n
large force of men to work. This
will require the use of all the water

The o. X. property formerly was
owned by Joe Warner. Mr.. Harryman
secured Mr.. Warmers interest and
now is the sole owner.
This property we secured In a
settlement with the Old National
bank last fall" said the owner. THE
bank had loaned the mine 100000 or
$4,000 and commenced foreclosure
proceedings to take the property.
This the owners claimed was con-
trary to an agreement that the bank
should do nothing about its loan
which would hurt the value of the
stock for a year. We claimed the
bank violated this agreement and we
brought suit for 100000 damages.
We settled by the bank giving us the
entire property, including the water
right. Post. Avery & Higgins were
our attorneys. Their good manage
ment won us the property"
