JOE CARTER COMES TO SPOKANE.
From the same source comes the
inform alton that the Canadian Pacific
will within the next two months open
an Office in Spokane, and that Joe
Carter, now general passenger agent
Of the Canadian Pacific At Nelson, d.
c., is to be placed in charge Of the
oHce. Carter is one Of the best
known railroad men in the pOrthest,
and It is argued that q man of his
standing would not be picked for the
Spokane office were 1t not that he
will be slated for the management of
the Corbin road, II 1t is taken over
by the Canadian Pacific.
The same informant states that In
British Columbia and In Canadian
Pacific circles the Corbin road u
known as the Canadian Pacific branch
TO Spokane, and It is generally ex'
pected that II will eventually become
Canadian Pacific property.

hertiest approval, with Spokane as the |
capital. The political situations in
eastern Washington and northern Ida
no are Identical, and the only draw
back would be in the laws which
would need much changing. II for
no other reason, take the foIe reserve
question as an example; take also the
case of Steve Adams and other similar
cases in which to bring a party for
trial from the southern part of Idaho
to the northern part, an overland
journey was necessary to avoid pass
ing through three states which would
have allowed the defendant to have
secured a writ Of habess corpus and
liberty. The state is divided into
two sections which are constantly at
outs with each other, the southern
part of the state with lis Mormons
ruling the legislature, with orders
from Salt Lake City, is repugnant to
the north. Then too, the business
interests Of northern Idaho and east
ern Warrington are identical. Spokane
is the distributing point for the man
ufactured materials while the state Of
Idaho furnishes the unfinished pro-
duct and the wealth which has built
up that city,"
George Harding Of the Consumers
Company stated: The geographical
condition of the country is favorable
for such change, and Spokane would
make an excellent capital with its
railroad facilities.
s. G. Sargent, of the First Nation

mich interest lie being taken by
business men of the city in the
ovsment for a new state which will
I..n the division of Washington,
a.ho and Oregon, and all look upon

options.
.The propoasl to make a new state
n of northern Idaho, eastern Wash
Dgton and northeastern Oregon meets
m nv unqualified approval, T" stated
A. Branson, of the firm of Bran
n 4 Max, "and it is the only thing.
EItb Spokane as the capital, it would
the greatest state in the west. For
NJ thing, it would eliminate all
Drther trouble with the Mormons of
N southern part of the state and
.Ould throw the varied Industries Of
he Inalnd Empire into one grand
sste making it one of the richest in
Ne United States. P"
James H. Hart, OF the American
rust company, stated: ION the
EhOle it would be a good movement,
hough l am afraid Washington would
have the best of us ON population,
meaning that they would control the
POLITICAL situation; commercially, no
movement could be better"
Earl Sanders, of the law firm OF
Banders & Flynn stated; "It is the
Only thing. 1t would have more to
DO towards benefltting the commercial
ma political situation of the inland
Empire, of which Occur d'Alene is 9
part, than anything else that might
Be done. 1t would relieve northern
Idaho from political subserviency t.
the southern part Of the state anC
would do the same for eastern Wash
ington, which is controlled by tn
coast section of that state. 1t woult
mean the political and commercial
emancipation Of the Inland Empir,
and hope to see the change in tn
near future. -
Mayor Collins, while stating tina
be was in favor of the movement
aid that he had not gone deepl
enough into the matter to discuss
thoroughly, but said that ''for man
reasons it would prove favorable t
the growth and progress of the lnlan
Empire, and would greatly change tn
political complexion of northern Ids
no."
Ralph T. Morgan, former judge

''Sentimentally speaking, l do M
like it. have lived in the state
Idaho about 26 years and am we'll a.

people and 1 do not look for Il
change in the near future. The ba
ance of the people feel a loyalty

have the name of the state change
From a business standpoint, it wou
prove very beneficial to the lnlal

for the present political situation

The Short Tale
of q Rabbit

Will Young is the Southern Railway
cashier at the depot.
He ate the rabbit.
Wi4Furner is also an employee OF
the Southern.
He killed the rabbit.
L. w. Walker, of the Crescent Carlo
mating Works, tells the tale.
These are indlsputable, concrete, ex-'
act facts, SO far al they go.
On thelstrength of the facts and ac-
companied by full-grown and life-siz
afidavits, this great family journal ven
lures to repeat the tale of the rabbit, but
for its truthfu1ness, it vouches not. :
Messrs. Young and Turner observed
the rabbit on Anderson avenue, neal
! Bly, Bros last Thursday morning, the
day of the big snow, end also the day Of
the big fox hunt.
It was travelling at, the rate of 81
miles an hour, Mr.. Young thinks.
Mr.. Turner, more exact, says S94 miles.
They both>say the rabbit seemed to
be in a hurry. He knew just where he
was going and wanted to get there quick
~.
But that makes no difference now, be-
! cause Mr.. Young has done eat the rab-
bit, anyhow.
Mr.. Turner threw a rock at the rab-
bit and struck and killed it.
On picking itup lso reads the amdav-
it's they found a special delivery letter
in It's mouth directed to 3 prominent
city official who was to be one of the foz
hunters, which had such a fine morn
Iing,s sport last Thursday. The letter

The Street Preachers
Glory to God. he's chine homer

"Glory to God, he's c6me homer
This is repeated over and over, an
endless refrain, in a shrill tenor. The
singer, bareheaded, is seated at a little
portable organ, in Main street, outside
the Blue Ridge Inn.
The other, possibly a brother, stands
with an open Bible in his hand, waiting
for the seemingly endless song to cease.
He refers to some passage in the holy
book and begins to~talk, quietly at first,
and gradually WARMING to his work un-
til his black eyes flash, his disheyeled
hair tumbles oYer his forehead, and he
no longer talks, but shouts until you
may hear him for several blocks and at
last in apparently uncomfortable ex-
element leaps several feet into the
air.
Last Saturday was their second ap-
pearance. and apparently the most sue
cessful.
1t was announced that the collection
amounted to s1.7l, and testimony we.
given by two or three people which
seemed to please the speakers immense

An old lady, facing the curious crowd
in a quavering and high pitched treble
told whv she was q Christian, the words
pouring from her mouth like a noun
tain waterfall. Then there was an old
bent man, leaning on q stick, the snow
of many winters resting heavily upor
his bowed shoulders. The tears cam
freely from bis eyes, while. he talked
