The sense Of the meeting was final
ly formulated into the following reso-
luton by a committee appointed for
the purpose The resolutions demand
sunken tracks.
Resolutions.
The resolutions as adopted are:
Whereas, the Northern Pacific
Railway company has submitted a
proposition or plan which contem-
plates the closing of Sprague avenue,
and also of Division street, where
said avenue and street cross the
Northern Pacific railway tracks, and
also the permanent closing of Browne
street, where said street crosses said
railway track, and as a substitute
therefor to construct an irregular
subway under said railway at a point
west of Division street, which propo-
sition or plan would impose upon the
city of Spokane an expense of s25, 900
to aid the said railway company In
the construction of said subway; and,
Whereas, the closing of said d.
vision and Browne streets and or said
Sprague avenue as proposed would be
detrimental to the interests of the
citizens owning property benefited by
the traffic which is accustomed to
pass and repass at said crossing; and
Whereas, the construction of said
subway would divert traffic which
would naturally pass and repass over
said crossings in such a way as to
injure certain valuable properties
which have been purchased and i'm
proved on the faith of the use as
heretofore enjoyed of said streets and
avenue; and
Whereas, the construction of such
subway and the payment of any part
of the cost thereof by the city would
establish dangerous precedent, call
ing for the repetition Of such ex-
penditures, and the construction of
subways under street railway tracks
along other streets crossing the
same; now, therefore
Resolved. that we. property hold
ers and citizens of Spokane, do here
by express our opposition to said pro-
posed plan of said Northern Pacific

thing about music he knew a thing

The growth of population in the
northwest has distanced all census
counts. During three years it is esti
mated by the Canadian government
authorities that the province of Mani
toba has gained no less than $4,000
to 1900. making the total of the
province between 100000 and $4,000.
The territories, it is estimated, have
increased In population about 100000.
This growth is witnessed in each
town. Saskatoon, which two years
ago had but goo people, today has be-
tween 1000 and 1000. Winnipeg had
$4,000 In 1901; at a recent census 1t
was found that 1t has $4,000, and
