FOR A NEW STATE.

The commercial travellers, at a
peeting held in Spokane, favored the
/ereation Of new state out OF eastern
Washington, northern Idaho and a
portion Of Oregon. Such a state
has been the fond hope Of many peo-
pie for a number Of years. The
change would be welcomed by nine.
tonths Of the people residing within
the territory Of the proposed new
state. While such change is not
tnpossible, u would mean lot Of
hard work 70 accomplish the object
sought. There are many reasons Why
northern Idaho would be benefited
by snch move. chief among them
the fact that our interests and those
Of eastern Washington are Identical,
consisting Of agriculture. numbering
and mining, business relations are
closely associated and what affects
eastern Washington has an influence
In northern Idaho. Another reason
why new state would DO desirable Is
the fact that northern Idaho pays ono
third Of the taxes, while the balance
a the state gets tho benefit Oh about
ninety per cent Of the revenue IN OK
ponditures for state Institutions and
an army Of Office holders, nine out Of
Ten of whom are from the south.
With Spokane a. . capital Of new
state people Of northern Idaho would
not be compelled TO travel several
hundred miles through three states to
rsach IL, a. they do at present. But

Spokane and surrounding territory is
compelled to pay, on shipment from
the east, the through rate TO Portland
or Seattle and the local rate back.
For illustration, the rate ON certain
classes Of paper from Chicago Is
s2.s per hundred pounds TO Occur
d'Alene or Spokane, while the same
shipment is made through TO Portland
or Seattle for e1.90. The local rate
from Portland or Seattle to Spokane
and common points 10 90 cents,
which, added 20 the s19O, gives
90. SO. This Is the method Of com
putting rates from the east to Spokane
aud no one who wished 10 be fair can
claim that 1t Is just. Under the rule
Occur d'Alene shipper can consign
goods 10 Portland and reship them,
making in additional distance of L.

In direct shipment from the east.

against this injustice and Occur d..

counts mentioned in the complaint. The
fifth and seventh counts were Quashed
by Judge Marshall. and the decision as
to counts three four and six were in
the defendants favor. The latter three
were In relation 20 the shipping Of the
prohibited books, plates and pictures.
The contention OF the defense was that
Mr.. Shepard did not ship the same. IL
being claimed that he was out OF the
city at the time. The prosecution failed
In fixing the responsibility on him per-
sonaly.
The counts upon which the defend
ant has been declared to be guilty are
for sending through the government
mail certain letters and catalogues de-
scribing lewd and indecent literature
and giving information as to where the
same could be obtained.
The bonds Of Mr. Shepard have been
IN the sum OF $500 but the amount was
Increased today To 81 600. An appeal will
undoubtedly be taken IN the case. The
maximum penalty for the offcnse OF
which the defendant has been found
guilty, Is a fine of from 81 600 To $1,000,
and Imprisonment Of from one TO five
years, on each count.
