THE
COAST

Cut the coast jobbers out OF your
list. That is the slogan started by
the Club pharmacy, Of this city, in
retaliation for the fight now being
made on the coast against Spo-
kane's contention for fair freight
rates. The Club Is out with the
following announcement, printed
in red ink on a new supply of en-
velopes:
THE store that demands lower
freight rates from the East than
to coast cities. We pledge our
selves not to buy goods from any
coast jobber whose commercial or
trades organizations are working
against our efforts to secure juss
freight rates for the Inland EN-
pire."
This movement will probably be
generally taken up all through this
territory and it will mean shut
ting off of trade from the coast
until a more friendly disposition
is displayed toward this city and
country.

WEST TONIGHT

The Northern Pacific will send
it's first train for the coast since
yesterday morning at 1880 to-
night. This train will run down
by Wallula junction and over the
o. r. & N. line to Portland. From

IT'S SETTLED
At LAST

The finish of Bishop McInturff's
church project was sounded this
morning by Judge Carey when he
signed stipulation settling the
troubles Of the Peoples United
church. The stipulation asked
that the actions Of Waterbury
Hendryx VS.. the Peoples church
and the Peoples church vs..
Thomas Hye, be united; that the
ranch Hye traded McInturff a,
Boomers Ferry, Idaho, where the
bishop founded his Alamo colony,
be restored to him, and that hv
give back the church to the flock !;
that the flock sell the church for
enough of this worlds goods to
pay the Indebtedness; that the
bishop had not right to make the
trade. McInturff did not appear in
court
The stipulation developed the
following odd facts: The church
rents room to a saloon owned by
the Schade brewery; the large
flock which one time amounted to
moer than 100 people has dwindled
to is; the Indebtedness of the
property on mortgages and taxes
amounts to almost $4,000.
The property is situated on

DRUNKEST ARMY
ON Earth

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 16.-
The United States army Is the
drunkest in the world, according
to figures contained in the report
of Surgeon General O'Reilly, head
of the medical department of the
army. Though General O'Reilly
does not so state specifically, he
intimates this undisputed emil
nence has been attained since the
abolition Of the canteen system.
The report also makes it clear
that many diseases from which
soldiers suffer are caused by driv-
ing them outside of the posts for
amusement.
The British army is the sickest
in the world, according to General
O'Reilly, the death rate there be-
ing 7.13 per thousand men per an
mum. The American army stands
next with death rate Of 6.28,
while the Prussian army has the
lowest, with death rate OF 2 per
thousand. The American army,
however, has the shortest average
duration of sickness.
