One week from tonight Frank
Gotch and Boomer Weeks will get
together, in a fight, the like of which
has seldom, If ever been seen in Spo-
kane. 1t will be case of the man
with the greatest powers of endur-
ance and brute strength winning.
Friday nights battle will, or ought
to be, CORY, If not it will be a farce,
tame and uninteresting.
Both of the fighters. however,
have signified their intention of
fighting for all they are worth
Weeks. with his eye on the heights
of pugilistic success. says he will
continue on as a follower of the
squared circle only in case he wins
next Friday night. He will fight like
tiger. But, can he? This Is the
question which is assailing almost
every fight fan in the city. Weeks
being a home man, the home talent
wish to back him and would like to
see the fireman win. Reports from
Weeks training quarters Indicate
that the big fire fighter must devote
a good deal of attention to securing
a quick, effective punch. He can hit
hard, when he can swing at an OPP
ponent who gives him plenty of time
to do it, or at a punching bag, but
Weeks lacks speed.
Circumstances are much in Gotch's
favor He is used to appearing be-
fore the public. He has been in
training for the past year or So
His trainers ssay nothing but a
chance blow will get him. He Is gem
orally conceded to be about as clever
with the gloves as Weeks. Neither
are pronounced competent judges of
ring generalship. Eliminate science
generalship and a knowledge of pug
ilistic intrigue from a fight between
men weighing in the vicinity of 200
pounds, each of whom affirms he will
challenge the heavy weight champion
of the world, and where has Spokane
witnessed such a contest in the past

HINTS ON
ORIENTAL TRADE

The opportunity for a great in
crease of American trade in the
orient is the text of all communica-
lions which now come from our
conuls in Japan and China. Other
nations, notably Germany and Great
Britain, are alive to the situation,
and the experts of the department
OF manufactures in Washington ad-
wise Americans to go in and get
their share.
With the cessation of war, COM
merce has suddenly revived. Every
day there is some new indication
OF the industrial revival in the far
east. Last Monday word was re-
ceived here of an inquiry from Chi
ma for 100000 barrels of -four; an
other inquiry comes for rice. and
still another for modern stoves to
be used in China. Trade conditions
in Japan are reflected in the reports
for the past six months, which
show that imports from the United
States have increased from 3d.
1000, in 1905, to $31 ,921 900. So
exports from Japan to the United
States have swelled more than a
million for the same period.

The Spokane high school football
squad thinks Whitman college is

contract. Whitman's reason for call
ing off the game is that her squad

TEXT BOOK OF 10000 CLUB
IN HANDS OF ITS MEMBERS

eff the members of the 100000
club who are soliciting member
ships would kindly make returns as
soon as possible they would confer
great favor upon me-"
Such is the statement made by
Gordon C. Corbaley of the member
ship committee this morning. Presi-
dent King of the 10000 club has
for some time been requesting his
acting committeeman to prevail
upon those soliciting additional
members to send in their returns in
order that permanent committees
may be established.
1t is also the desire of President
King to secure, as near as possible,
full list of the members already
secured for the club.
In order to assist Mr.. King, Mr..
Corbaley is doing all in his power
to get the different members to
make returns on their books.
cat the present time we haven't
any more idea of our membership
than a jackrabbit," said Mr. Cor
bailey this morning. Il want every
man to bring in his book to the
chamber of commerce rooms and
make report to Secretary Monroe.
1t would be very impolitic for us
to go ahead and name our commit
tees when we don't know whom we
have with u.s."
I This morning the guide book of
the club was completed and deliver
ed at the chamber of commerce
rooms. The pamphlet sets forth in
detail the motives of the club.
1t suggests the way by which the
purpose of the club may be carried
out, what the club is going to do
and how it will be done. The book
also suggests what the city of Spo-
kane needs to increase its size and
why it is a good town to live in.
1t tells of what the city has and
what it will have, besides showing
the statistics incident to the growth
of the city between the year 1900
up until the first six months of
the present year

Where uncIes Rule.

Uncles rule amongst the native
tribes bordering Torres Straits, where
the relationship between maternal
uncle and nephew is regarded as being
closer than that between father. and
son. There a man is bound to stop
fighting when ordered to do so by his
mothers brother, and the uncle is en-
titled to bid his sisters husband cease
any hostilities in which he may be en-
gagged. Moreover, the quelled combat
ant is required to make a present to
the uncle, or brother-in-law-as the
case may be-who stops him.
When a man marries in these parts
his father provides the wherewithal to
purchase the bride, but it is the ma
ternal uncle who makes the actual
payment, and who requires the credit
attached thereto.
A man in those parts may not utter
the names of his wife's relations, and
when he speaks to his father or
mother-in-law he must lower his voice,
and speak humbly; the underlying
idea being probably a pretence that he
has carried his spouse away forcibly
from her home, and must sue for
peace.

stock That Turned out We'll.

United States Senator George l..
Turner of Washington lost his fortune
and poverty stared him in the face.
Turner was lawyer, and one day a
party of miners, well known to him,
who had struck a lode up in British
America, near Victoria, came into his
Office and asked him to make out some
papers for them
''We can't pay you cash for your
services, Mr.. Turner" said one of the
party, after their business had been
transacted, "but we will give you some
stock and call it square"
At first Turner refused to take the
stock, as his clients were all friends
of his and he preferred to do the work
for nothing, but on being pressed ne
took the certificates and tucked them
away in his safe
Two years later Senator Turner was
millionaire through these mining
shares, and the mine that brought him
the money and made the fortune of his
friends is the famous lie Roi, one of
the richest in the West.

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 18th Especially
-One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on one side
and could not walk across the room.

the matter to the police.
When the police arrived at the scene
they found the body suspended from
the tree. At the inquest Pat was

In the most ancient period OF his
tory, the bracelet was an ensign of
royalty. In later times it has bean
used in the East as badge OF

The bracelet of Rebecca (mentioned
in Genesis) weighed 10 shekels, or
about FIVE ounces.
Among the ancient Romans the men
as well as the women wore bracelets,
but the latter never wore them till
they were betrothed.
Bracelets were at first properly mill

generals and princes, on those who be.

afterward arbitrary decorations, as

supreme authority among the British
kings were golden bands worn round
the neck, arms and knees. Ornamented
bracelets of brass have been found
round the arms of skeletons in British
barrows"
The northern people used to swear
on their bracelets to render contracts
