new CHURCH

No clew has been obtained to the
identity of the incendiary supposed
to have set fire to the First Metho-
dist church.
DR.. Rasmus this morning denied
emphatically the story that he had
received an anonymous letter threat
ening to burn the church.
A meeting of the trustees was held
this morning. when the loss was
placed at $4,000.
1t was shown that the flrebug en-
tered through the pastors study,
which could not be locked owing to a
arrangement of the lock in the door.
The trustees voted to go to work
at once to build a new stone and brick
church to cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
Money Is already subscribed in a
sufficient amount to guarantee the
rebuilding of the church.

over the line marked around Spo-

as Spokane's hundred-mile limit. The

the elimination of this hundred-mile

break back into territory that is gen.
orally regarded by business men as
tributary to coast shipping points.
"On the other hand, Spokane mer-
