ern Leader of Peoples Church

Bishop 7aMcinturff has received an
offer of donation of $4,000 for his
new colony from J. II. Harris of Sc
attic. Mr.. Harris is a stranger to
Bishop McInturff, but has the money
and likes the bishops plan of a
western Zion"
Every real estate dealer in WASH
ington and Oregon is trying to sell
the bishop a tract of land. He now
has more than 100 good offers to
choose from.
Bishop McInturff said today: I'VE
have our working plan all arranged
and the different departments organ
lied. The colony will be- managed by
board of seven members of the
church named by the bishop. They
will appoint subcommittee to man.

TO NAME J.b. L|NDSLEY
Deal to Haze Councilman Appointed
District attorney When Federal DiUi-
sion Is Made===Mr. Jweeny Talks

One Of the deals said to have been
made at the time the Sweeny influ-
ence was thrown to Piles in Olympia
last week was that in the event of
the redistricting of the state by the
federal authorities, Spokane man
was to be named as United States dis
trict attorney
1t was rumored today that the dsal
provided for the appointment of
Councilman ]. B. Lindsey as district
attorney and a representative of the
Sweeny forces.
Mr.. Sweeny arrived home from Sc
attic yesterday after being given a
banquet by Seattle business men.
In interviews Mf Sweeny states
that he is pledged to support Senator
Ankeny If the latter desires re-
election, therefor he can not be again
considered as a candidate for the
United states senate. In speaking of
the erafters in the legislature, Mr.,
Sweeny said
MY campaign is over and I've left
the politics of the state purer than
they've been for a long day.
Il believe that the political moral
ity of the state has been put on a
higher plane than ever before. The
standards that prevailed here in the
election of United States senators
were none too high. But the lesson
taught the grafters this year, when
not one of them got a cent, should
remove Washington from the plane OF
Montana and Delaware.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-01-30

There are to be departments of
dairy, horticulture, cooking, school,
poultry, fuel and lumber, merchan-
disc, religion, Homework and justice.
'All disputes between members will
be settled by the department of JUS
tice and anyone refusing to abide by
the decision of the judge will be ex-
PEELED from the colony.
THE colony will manufacture all
its own furniture and the members
can take their choice"
Every member, the bishop said, can
go to the meat market and order what
he wants and all he wants. The bish-
op did not know who would get the
tenderloin or who would get the
chuck He added that when people
were living Christ-lke lives these
little things were easily arranged.
Under the colony code the bishop
of the church shall be superintendent
of the colony and general manager
of all the departments and ''in a
godly way" direct the same. No one
shall become a member except he be
appointed by the bishop.
All the surplus funds shall be used
for the extension of the colony.
The bishop says: Il now have
$4,000 in sight"

Some of the grafters went down
to Olympia expecting that they could
go home with enough money to start
national banks. There never was a
more clean election than that of Sam
uel II. Piles, and the humiliation of
the boodlers is so apparent that it
would be cruel for me to say any
more.
But l want to urge upon the peo-
pie the necessity of electing to office
only clean, decent men, whose integ-
rity can not be questioned. If that is
done, the debauchery which has
marked the political affairs of many
states can not be carried on for a
moment.
I'VE have accomplished more good
for Spokane than was ever achieved
by any body of Legislators ever sent
from eastern Washington.
1.-THE election of Mr.. Piles was only
promises in writing to give his untir-
ing efforts for the doing of these
things:
He promised to work for the Great
ing of a federal court for eastern
Washington, with headquarters in
Spokane, along the lines Of the Jones
bill. That means the home here of
a federal judge, federal attorney, a
United States marshal, bailiffs, and
the other attaches of such a court.
Even more, it means that the entire
federal law business Of eastern Wash
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-01-30

ington will be brought to Spokane,
instead of centering in Seattle, as in
the past. The presence of such a
court, with following of lawyers and
court attendants from all over the
Inland Empire, which 1t is sure to
bring, will in time prove Of great
financial Importance to Spokane. Both
senators and Congressman Jones are
pledged to the measure, which would
have been passed ere now were it not
for the persistent opposition of Sena-
tor Foster. He used all his endeavors
to have the new court located at
Tacoma.
I'VE have written promises that
port of entry will be established here,
with a collector of the port and the
subordinate attaches who go with a
collectorship. The creation of the
United States court and the port OF
entry will probably call for increased
appropriations for the federal build
ings. The demands upon it are sure
to be much larger than were con-
templated when it was first planned.
"All my friends in eastern WASH
ington are taken care Of.
I'VE have secured absolutely the
passing of a railroad commission bill
that will be satisfactory to the people
of eastern Washington. We have Sc
cured from Mr.. Piles written promises
that he will support President Roose-
welt in his advocacy of needed rail-
road legislation"

The Spokane Traction company is
confronted with new problem in
reference to the proposed new line
on East Olive avenue.
The company, in making applica-

the river on the bridge to be con-

The board of public works award
ed the contract for a bridge, Satur-

1t was stated at the city hall this
morning that the bridge contracted
for is not heavy enough to carry the
electric cars.
Should the council grant the fran

company will be compelled to build a

by the present plans.

awarded to Zernsible & Marshall of
this city for $S3S4.50. The ordinance
passed authorizing the bridge per-
mitted an expenditure not exceeding
$500.
Commissioner ONO stated this
morning that it would cost $4,000
more to construct a bridge strong
enough to be used by the Traction
company.
City Engineer Gill stated that the
abutments called for by the present
plans will be heavy enough to hold a
superstructure of sufficient strength
for a railroad bridge. He estimated
the expense of new single track
bridge for the railroad at about
$500.
Obviously the railroad company, If
given the franchise. can save $4,000 by
arranging with the contractors for
the strengthening of the city bridge
rather than to build new one.
