The City of Spokane.

The city of Spokane, with popula- tion of 75,S53, which increased lit tie over 5000 in 1904, is the gateway to and the distributing and conner cial center of all this vast and rich territory. Spokane is now the second city of the State in population and commercial importance, says l.. G. Monroe in the New England Magazine. It is the greatest railroad center west of St. Paul and the Missouri River, and has the greatest water power in the West. The Spokane River, flowing through the heart of the city, descends in series of cascades distance of 132 feet within quarter of mile. The minimum capacity of the falls is 33,00O horse power, of which 15,000 is developed, The power in the form of electrical energy lights the city, turns the mills and factories, operates sev- enty-four miles of suburban road, and is furnished manufacturers on the NJ agara scale.
 Electric power generated by the falls is transmitted to the famous Occur d'Alene silver-lead mines of northern Idaho, a distance of over 100 miles, These mines produce fifth of the an nual lead output of the world, and can be easily reached via rail or via rail and steamboat from Spokane.

The soldier and the. sailor are especially subject to catarrh. In the barracks and on the field, Pe- runa is found equally eflicacious to overcome this physical enemy. If taken in time, it will prevent colds from developing into catarrh. Even after cold has settled in some or gan of the body, Peruna can be re- lied upon as an efficacious remedy 10 promptly overcome it.
 Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether acute or chronic, but few doses of it taken in the first stages Jf the disease will be more effec- tive than when the disease has be- come established.

Gov. Hoehs Plurality is 2.12s.

The complete election returns COM
piled and given out by the State Can

Notwithstanding the plurality of p
123 given Governor Hoch at the re-
cent election, the Republican plurali-
ty is about normal with the other
men on the ticket,
The average plurality is right
around the $4,000 mark. Several of
the candidates fell below this but
many of them are above it. Chief
Justice Johnston received the highest
plurality-4O,94 945. r. A. Burch was
running against d. NJ. Dale and Dale's
personal popularity cut Bureh's plu-
rality down to 1854. C. E. Denton's
plurtlity is 35, 100. Denton was can
didate for Secretary of State and the
plurality of this office is looked upon
as the average Republican plurality.
WI. Fitzgerald lost many votes be-
cause of the fight made on him and
two of the Railroad Commissioners.
For Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald
received plurality of &c, ,273.
Ryan received greater plurality
than any other candidate for Rail-
road Commissioner. His plurality
29.015. Ryker's 26, ,697, and Kanaval's
%, ,O68.
The Populists cast only 1,131 votes
for Horace A, Keefer, their candidate
for Governor. The Socialists were
third party this year, casting more
votes than either the Prohfbitionists
or Populists- The Socialist vote for
Harry Gillian for Governor was 1921.
J. B. Cook, the Prohibition candidate
for Governor, received total of 4, ,451
votes. Governor Hoch lacked 1880

It seems strange that when the

that so many of our farmers are so

men who can talk on the street for
hours are willing to admit that they
'just cannot speak before an audi

cussion followed on the subject of
early or late planting, listing with
level cultivation and listing with or
without plowing.
Mr.. Filing discussed Conserving
Soil Moisturs;n also wheat varieties
best for this climate and planting
good seed, He says if we are careful
to select the best seed we will not
need to change at all. He advises
planting from IL to 2 bushels of
wheat to the acre. He recommends
early plowing or disking to hold the
