WANT PEOPLE To
CONE 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 unified publicity
campaign might be inaugurated. It
fs 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 new era for the north west.
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 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.
ther, it is the intentionto ask the state
Legislatures of the four states indiyid.
ually to appropriate fund, as large az
possible, tob g. used by this committee
in its publicity work, with the neces-
sary condition that the money appro-
pristed 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 ideassof 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.

Spokane Fair Opens.

One Of the best things about this
years fair is the fact that accomoda.
tons for visitors can always be had by
applying to the information bureau at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms, 519
First avenue. FIJI. Gohlke is in charge
OF this work and has q long list of
rooms, which accommodating Spokane
citizens have placed at his disposal to
be used in case the hotels, lodging
houses and ordinary rcoming houses
cannot accommodate.
Manager Cosgrove is delighted with
the prospects Of this years attendance
and expects the total to far exceed that
OF any other year. The capacity of the
grandstand has been doubled and ac-
commodities far more people.
Among the most popular new fea-
lures Is the Home Industry building, in
charge OF Rem II. Rice, secretary of the
loo.ooO club. No one had any idea so
many things were manufactured in
spokane until he saw this exhibit. Mr..
Rice has something doing all the time
In MS department and it is the chief
featrue of the evening show at the
grounds. Heis providing an entirely
new program Of vaudeville entertain
men and music for the second week.
de has received great deal of praise
FOR the splendid exhibit and fine show
which he had made for the Home In
dustry exposition.
All departments Of the fair are strong
this year. More live stock came than
was expected, the grade is the very
highest and more men have brought
stock to the fair this year than ever
before. Many Of these never in the
past attempted to win premiums.
One OF the finest departments is the
fruit exhibit, in the main building.
This is greater than ever before and
SURPRISES in splendid the fine showing
made in former years at the old fruit
fairs.

and his small, white hands trembling,
Dowie, clad in his gorgeous apostolic
robes, was borne in the arms of two
stalwart negroes from his room to a
platform in bay window. During his
talk of half an hour, however, his
voice at times regained its old-time
resonance and penetrated to the up
stairs apartments, which were throng-
ed with eager listeners.

GROW FAT ON TAsooEp FOOD.
Poor Of London Find chicago's Meats
Wholesome.

Poor OF London Find Chicago's Meats
Wholesome.
London, Sept. 25.-The revolt
against Chicago canned meat is a re-
markable instance how out of evil
sometimes comes good. Bow street
police missionaries say poor people in
the east end of London are being bet,
ter fed now than they were. Grocers
who were unable to get rid OF their
stores Of canned meat sent them to
the east end to be sold at reduced
prices. A majority of the poor people
there seldom II ever read newspapers,
or If they have known anything about
the scare they have shown they do not
trouble about it, for they have been
able to buy up the tabooed canned
meat at about one-fourth Of the origi-
nal price.
Not a single case of illness has re-
suited, says this police missionary. In
fact. he says. the improvement in the
appearance of these east end poor is
surely testimonial to the wholesome
ness Of the food they are enjoying.
The only matter of concern IS as to
whether these people will be able to
get more food at such prices when the
present stock is exhausted.
