after one of the pleaders for the bill
had told of the vast amount of
tuberculosis and other cOndemnable
diseases to be found in Washington

of cowboys in eastern Washington
who might kill diseased cattle on the

city for the butchers to deal out to

it bobbed up that the farmer was to
get soaked his so cents for inspection
of beef; and, anyway, what would in
terfere with Mr.. Merritt's cowboy
selling his diseased cow on foot to
the farmer, who might kill it and
take it to the counters of the Spokane
meat markets. After one got through
listening to all the talk about diseas-

At the hearing before the joint
mittees on dairy and livestock on
Tuesday evening Representative
Dawes bill providing for state m
spection of all carcasses of beef, NUT
ton or pork was discussed. The argu-
ments ranged from the plea of John
w. Merritt of Spokane in favor of
the bill because it would give Spokane
consumers an inspected article to the
position of a. j. Splawn, raiser Of
blooded HerefordS, who said that the
bill was a handicap to the amount OF
the inspection fee on all Washington
abattoirs as against the free govern
ment inspected meat from the big
packing houses of the beef trust. Mr.
Splawn wants an inspection of beef
to protect the producer of beef who
desires good livestock, but he has no
sympathy with movement which
would cost any man, farmer on his
ranch or butcher in his slaughter
house, q fee which makes him so
much less equipped for lighting the
big concerns surrounding the Kansas
City and Chicago stock yards.
One feature of the Dawes bill pro-
vides for the destruction in a vat
of all carcasses condemned by the
state inspector. To this feature one
of the listeners at the hearing OBJ

KING EDWARDS NEW
YACHT.

LONDON. Feb. ga report that
King Edward has placed an order for
a steam motor turbine launch is be-
ing much discussed in society and
yachting circles. The new vessel, &C
cording to report is to be construct
ed on altogether different lines to
anything hitherto employed in the
royal service, and will attain high
rate of speed-approachin 20 knots.
The tonnage of the new craft. it is
stated, will be large enough to allow
of magnificent suite of apartments
for the use of the king and his
family. His majesty has placed the
order with a private firm of ship
builders on the Clyde, having decided
to ignore the admiralty designers on
account of the disappointment expert
enced over the building of the Vic
toria and Albert.

| orders in the latter's room before the
| battle.
To listen to this weird tale one
would be convinced that Reilly pre-
pared his own dope up in his room
| and actually doped himself, instead
of permitting himself to be knocked
out.
The way some of the people with
pitch on their fingers are jumping
| into the Reilly camp to scatter slurs
| is going to result in one wholesale
expose in certain quarters.
The statement is made this morn
| ing that Reilly can not fight in SpO-
kane again. That's his punishment
true.
I want to say now that this system
of undetermined knocking of a good
little man has gone about far enough.
A few more hammer blows at Reilly
and there will be a public expose Of
some things which have happened in
the conduct of prize fights by these
sledge hammer artists.
Either Reilly fights here again if
he wants to or there will be large
| dongs in the direction of the knock
| ers--the men who robbed Jim Bur-
rows and Jerry Mccarthy of $500 cold
cash.

At the rate these people are going
boxing in Spokane will be closed
within a short time-and 1 shouldn't
wonder If some things were printed
then which would show up the virtu-
Gus ones--and it would only be neces-
sary to print what they have said
about themselves.
o Q Q
| Jack Reilly was either doped or
taken suddenly sick from some cause
not known. To insist that he pur-
posely lost that fight through an
agreement to quit is lie made out
of whole clOth-and the men who are
busy spreading such talk know bet
ter than any others what dastardly
| lie it is.

Little Bill Lucas announces that
his estern-International league
is about completed. The little one
takes much credit to himself over
his declaration that a second ball
team will play in Spokane.
o o o
The tiny one says his league will
be Victoria, Vancouver, Bellingham,
Everett and Spokane with joint club
for Walla Walla and Pendleton.
Does anyone really believe that
Spokane is going to support a rival
club playing bush league teams in a
game dictated by the small Lucas?
Just keep your funny artists on the
other side of the range, Mister Lucas.

Oklahoma Lands for Lease.

A big event in the history of the
Southwest will be the leasing of the
Indian pasture lands in Southwest
Oklahoma, on December 4th, next.
The Interior Department of the
United States has arranged to lease
these lands for agricultural purposes
for terms of five years, with the lessee's
preference-right to release at the end
of the period, subject to appraisement
by the Secretary of the Interior. The
amount of land to be leased to any
one person, firm or company is from
q quarter to two sections. This re-
strictiOn is designed to prevent large
tracts being controlled for grazing
purposes.
The main body of this land is located
in Caddo, Kiowa and Comanche
counties embracing a tract of about
$50, 600 acres, most of which is valuable
farming land, on which cotton, wheat,
alfalfa and Kat1ir corn are readily
grown. All the pasture reserves are
we'll watered and much of the land is
located along creek and river bottoms.
Rainfall in this section, this year, has
been above the average.
Chattanooga, on the Rock Island
System, is the nearest railway station
to the big Pasture" Any additional
Information desired will be furnished
on application to JOHN SEBASTIAN,
