Peterson and Dan Phelan will, six
months from date, become regular
officers on the Spokane police force
if their services are satisfactory
for that time. The order is signed
by Police Commissioner Hanley.
1t is the rule of the police COM

become regular, although he
works all the time, must serve for
the first six month subject to dis
missal. These men will receive
$3.50 per day for the first six
months.

new RACING SCHEME

The adoption Of this plan would
insure some exceedingly high class
racing here, probably the best the
city has ever seen.
Again the Spokane men are GO
ing to insist that the dates be so
arranged in the different cities so
as not to conflict and so as to con-
stitute a circuit. They also want
the racing season to begin earlier
and continue longer than hereto
fore. Spokane would like to have
the last week in September and
the first in October.
The idea of the local men, 1t Is
said, is to have Spokane, Portland,
Helena and Seattle be the racing
towns next year. If this Is not
satisfactory then add Lewiston and
North Yakima. A large fair Is
planned for North Yakima next
year.
At the present time racing men
are losing money on account Of the
expense of shipping horses to so
many small towns.
