MONROE AFTER

Secretary Monroe, of the cham
Der of commerce, has undertaken to
annex new Zion city to Spokane.
His plan, if successful, would turn
a big portion of the south half of
the Colville reservation over to the
discntented Dowietes who are pre-
pairing to pack up and move away
from the ungodly environs of Chi
cago.
Voliva, the new Zion leader who
deposed Dowie, is agtating a west
ward migration and will soon come
this way on still hunt for a new
Zion site. Secretary Monroe imme-
diately threw out his hooks and
wrote Voliva a letter telling him of
what Spokane and the Inland EN-
pire had to offer in the way of in.
ducements He then mentioned the
fact that 100000 acres of the rich
Colville reservation will shortly be
thrown open to settlement and

wealth of natural resources await.

could get hold of it.

The "highbinders" hold out as bait

WORTH $247,OOO
ASSESSED AT
$4,000

According to the price announced
paid for the Wolverton block at
the corner of Riverside and Wall,
in a recent sale, downtown property
can stand a substantial increase in
it's assessed valuation. The prop
erty was sold for $247 900 and the
assessed valuation is fixed at $62,-
600, or practically 25 per cent of
the selling value. An increase in
the assessed valuation of business
and outlying unimproved property
to something proportionate with
the rates paid by the homebuilder
would, it is argued, relieve the
small property owner of an unjust
burden of taxation.
