Want PEOPLE To
come NORTHWEST

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 26.-Nearly
200 delegates, representing the cities OF
the northwest, have assembled there in
response to the call sent out by the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce and
the Portland Commercial Club for a
convention at which a unified publicity
campaign might be in~augurated. 1t
is the first time commercial bodies of
the four states of Montana, Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington had ever met TO-
gether to promote an enterprise for
their common good, and, as was re-
peatedly remarked by the speakers, it
indicated a new era for the northwest.
The possibilities of concerted action by
all the commercial bodies brought
forth great enthusiasm among all the
delegates. 1t is the purpose to have the
cities of the four states raise a large
sum of money, chiefly contributed by
the larger cities, which shall be ex-
pended for general exploitation of the
northwest, with no advantage to any
particular community, by an executive
committee composed of an equal num-
Der of members from each state. Fur
Their, it is the intentionto ask the state
legislatures of the four states individ-
ually to appropriate a fund, as large as
possible, tob g used by this committee
in its publicity work, with the neces-
sary condition that the money appro-
priated by a state be expended wholly
for the benefit of that state. 1t is also
proposed that none of the money be
spent in advertising the larger cities,
but that the entire funds be used for
the making known the agricultural,
mineral, timber, fruit and mining re-
sources of the -four states in the east
and middle west, with the idea of Sc
curing people. The organization will
take the name of the Pacific Northwest
Development League.
One hundred thousand dollars is is the
mark which is proposed to be raised.
The larger cities are expected to raise
the larger sums and the smaller towns
give smaller amounts.
Resolutions indorsing the Alaska
Yukon-Paciic exposition, which is to
be held in Seattle in 1919, and pledg-
ing the support Of all the delegates in
making the exposition u success, were
passed by the convention by a unani-
nous rising vote.
g.. B. Dennis of Spokane was elected
resident of the league.

StensIand Near Home.

Under arrest by New York detec-
tives, Paul o. Stensland, former presi-
dent of the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank at Chicago, who stands indicted
for heavy embezzlement from that in
sutton, arrived in New York last Mon
day night. He was taken from the

came from Morocco to which country
he had fed after the wrecking of the
bank, and according to his son, Theo-
dore Stensland, he will plead guilty to
several of the charges brought against
him. Stensland has made a compete
confession, according to Assistant
States Attorney Olson of Chicago, who
went to Tangier to take the former
banker into custody, and in his ocnfes-
sion he implicated other Chicago men.
Attorney Olson declined to name these
men.

CABINET OFFICERS
RESIGN IN CUBA

Havana, Sept. 26.-It is declared IN
veyr high authority that American in
tervention in Cuba is certain. Fur
thermore, it is expected that the proc
lamation of intervention will be issued
from Oyster Bay. All the members of
the cabinet and the heads OF depart
ments have presented their designations
to President Palma. He has accepted
them, but the officers will retain their
positions until the resignation of the
president has been presented to con-
gress. Senator O'Fairell, secretary of
state and justice, says there would pro-
badly be a government by a commission
appointed by the American govern
ment. He mentioned Senior Barrier,
chief justice of the supreme court. and
General Mario Menocal as possible
commissioners Plans for the transfer
of troops from the United States to
Cuba in the event of the failure of Sec
retery Taft's mission to bring about q
peaceful solution of the trouble in the
island republic have been completed.
President Palma has called a special
session of congress for Friday, when he
will present the resignation of himself
and Vice President Mendez Capote.
The moderates, however, will not at
tend that session of congress, for in
their hurriedly called moderate assem-
bly, Tuesday afternoon, they decided
unanimously to quit forthwith. They
will not even attend the approaching
session or have anything more to do
with the government of Cuba, alleging
that they have been u~njustly treated
by President Roosevelt's commission
ers. This determination is taken by
Messrs. Taft and Bacon to mean that
the moderate leaders, finding they can
not control the situation themselves,
are determined that the liberals shall
not obtain control.

Last Tuesday a sailor from the Dunn
freisshire went to the Edward Sewall
considerably under the influence of Ii

but Oh! my. The result was that the
sailor was so soundly thrashed that he
will probably remember that beating
that Mate Kimmette gave him. before

although Captain Quick left the vessel
a number of times that evening to go

HOW LOCAL FIRM
WON A CONTRACT
MANILA CABLENEWS TELLS OF
OPENING OF THE BIDS FOR CON-
sTRUCTION OF WATER SYSTEM.

The Manila CableneI:s under date OF
January has the following account of
the opening of the bids for the con-
struction of the water system of that
city: Matson, Lord & Belser Co. ST.
O40, 900; Shaw hatcher Co.. $1.066,000;
Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Co, S1,07S,00O:
]. G. White & Co.. $1,2O2. 900: Delmar
w. Smith, for three sections only. and
Peabody & Co. for steel pipe only.
These were the bids received for the
construction of Manila's new water
supply system yesterday by the NUM-
cipal board and opened as the clock
struck noon.
In anticipation of the opening of the
bids the session hall of the board was
crowded and everyone listened anxious
ly to hear the figures of the six offers.
but no figures were made known nor
could they be obtained either from the
members of the board or the chief en-
gineer or the city engineer. The fig
ures as given above, while not official,
are computations made out by the va
rlous bidders and are, i'm round num-
bers, the sum totals of the bids, The
bid of J.. G. White & Co. contained a
proviso that should the firm secure the
contract for the whole work the sum
of $780, 900 would be deducted from the
bid. This would still leave it the high
est bid of the four who bid on the basis
of the whole job.
Almost at the last moment the bond
of $4,000 demanded was deposited by
the Shaw-Batcher Co. the fact being
cabled to Manila by the bureau of in
sular affairs. When the bids had been
! all opened and their details read out,
P. G. Mcdonnell moved that all the
bids be referred to Major James F.
Case, the chief engineer of the new wa
ter and sewer system for his perusal,
examination and report.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the whole contract Shall be given to
the lowest bidder, it being optional
with the city to award it in that man
ner or in sections. Should the lowest
bidder secure it and the work all be
undertaken by the one firm there is no
doubt that the city would be the gamer

ger of delays in one contractor getting
his work completed before the other
had proceeded. 1t would also decide

SAVAGE CAT TAKES
CHARGE OF SHIP
MATE KIMMETTE OF SHIP ED
WARD SEWALL GETS A FELINE
TARTAR.

THE ship Edward Sewall has a Won
derful cat. Mate Kimmette secured the
animal yesterday and in consequence
Captain Quick and the mate have been
in terror of their eyes. The cat is so
savage that neither of the officers feel
like venturing in the proximity of the
creature. 1t is a black cat and was
put aboard for the purpose of hunting
rats. But so savage is the growing of
the cat that the rats have evidently
become terror stricken. None are to be
found or heard about the craft, and
yet the cat has not apparently killed
any of the rodents.
Mate Kimmette wanted to take a
bath this morning but his pet had TAX
en- possession of the bath room and
made such savage display of teeth
that the mate was forced to beat a
hasty retreat and take a sponge bath
instead. Instead of the cat proving the
ships pet that it was hoped, the feel
ing seems likely to be the terror of the
crew. Meanwhile the rats are prob
ably leaving the ship for fear of the
cat.
