HARTLINE ISLANDER
TOTALLY REFUTED

The founder of the town OF
Hartline. Johr w. Hartline OF
Alaska, was in the city yesterday
visiting State Senator Hutchinson
Mr.. Hartline was surprised to hear
that the country surrounding the
town he named about score OF
years ago is now prospecting.
why he said, Il remember
riding along one day and coming
to cabin with this sign on the
door:
Forty miles to timber, 20
miles to a ne:ghbor and about a
mile to hell. I'm going back to
Minnesota and anyone who wants
this place can have it,"
Mr.. Hartline says Alaska is be-
ing developed rapidly by the Gug-
genheims, who have secured nine
tenths of the ocean transportation
facilities. all of the railroads and
most of the inland waterways
They are buying up the best OF
the mines and freezing out the
small fellows.

WILL BUILD
|NTERURBAN
Cook-Clark Co. Negotiat-
ing 100000 Develop
ment Proposition.

A deal is on foot whereby the
Cook-Clarke Co. expects to have
built an electric line built from
Spokane to the immense tract
north of the city, between Mead
and hartford, which is recently pur-
chased at a cost of about $500, 900.
The control of this tract, which
contains over 1000 acres, will rest
with the Cassill Investment Co.,
composed of those interested in
the Cooke-Clark Co. and State
Treasurer Cassill of South Dakota.
The plan is to place the entire
tract under irrigation by means of
an immense pumping plant on the
Little Spokane river and sell the
ground in five or 10 acre tracts
and set it under fruit for the pur-
chaser, to be cared for and looked
after by the Clarke Co. until
the trees reach the bearing stage.
To carry out the plans outlined for
the development of the enterprise,
which will bar the title of City
Gardens, will represent an invest
ments of around $1,0O0,00O and
four years of work in the develop
ment and sale of the ground.
The one thing that the enter
prise lacked, transportation, now
seems assured. The manner in
which it is proposed to finance or
promote the building of the new
line to City Gardens is not yet de-
veloped to the point that it can
be given out for publication, but
the men behind the undertaking
say there is no question but that
the line will be built. The dis
lance of City Gardens from How
ard and Riverside varies from
seven to 10 miles.
The electric line power plant
will probably be located on the
Little Spokane.

This declaration, shrieked IN a
loud voice by Edward Mullens, the
man who attempted to holdup the
Station saloon, startled everybody
in the police court this afternoon
and caused the austere Judge
Mann to, for once, become fluster-

as the bailiff seized the prisoner,

LATHAM S CASE
FOR JURY
COURT DENIES NoNsUiT AFT.
Err HOLDING INVALID ORDl-
NANCE FORMING PART OF
GROUND FOR ACTION.

Judge Huneke this morning
overruled the motion for a non
suit in the case of Henry Latham
against the proprietor of the Vic
toria hotel, Howard Dykman. The
trial of the case is now proceeding
and the jury will be permitted to
determine whether or not Latham,
the colored porter for the hotel.
is entitled to recover $4,000 dam
ages or a lesser amount for in
juries received in the elevator of
the hotel last March.
At yesterday afternoons session
of the court Judge Huneke hand
ed down a ruling holding that that
portion of ordinance A2S5, passed
in 1898, which required that OPP
orators of elevators shall be over
18 years of age, was invalid for
the reason that the title of the
ordinance did not contain any ref
erence to such provision being
contained in the body of the or
dance. The ordinance related to
the repair and tearing down of old
building and is quite lengthy. In
one paragraph the operation OF
elevators is covered, with the pro-
vision as to the age of the eleva-
tor operators, but no mention OF
elevators is made in the title.
Latham set out a violation OF
this ordinance as one of the
grounds on which he should re.
cover.

polished metal plate. This plate
is tilted downward at one end and

Talks.
THE GREATEST OF THESE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

/ THE GREATEST OF THESE.
What in your opinion. is the great
est force in human life?
What is 1t. more than all else makes
some men succeed and others fail?
Three answers, at least, have been
given:
First.-You are what you are because
of your parentage. You are the sum
of your ancestors. If you have failed,
1t is because some of your forbears
stumbled. You inherit wrong tend
encies."
| An eminent Dutch scientist, with the
help Of more than 5000 physicians, has
been making a study of hereditv. His
report, just published. shows that
while some mental and physical quail
ties are nherited-generally from the
father-there is little, if any. transmits
sion Of nervous and other troubles,
and moral tendencies are not communi.
Gated at all!
Another answer, aside from heredity,
is this:
Second.-You are what you are be-
| cause of the place in which you are
born, the people with whom you lived
You have been nodded and fashioned
by your early environment.
There is lot of truth in the power
of environment to make or mar men,
but it is not the whole truth. There is
another great force. 1t is
Third.-Personal endeavor. That is
to say, there is within you a mysteri-
Gus, dominant force that is able to
overcome both heredity and environ
ment You can be what you want to
be and do what you want to do de
spite them.
To excuse oneself by saying one is
completely handicapped by heredity or
by circumstances is self delusion.
Long before scientists talked learned
ly about Incredibly" Shakespeare look
ed into the soul of man and said:
'1n the bright lexicon of youth there
is no such word as fail.'
And the keynote of the New Tesla
ment is this word, "Overcomew
You are master of your soul.
Every man Is able to control his own
thoughts. his own purposes, his own
ideals. If so, he can control his own
conduct. And conduct makes charac-
ter. And character makes destiny.
-tenths of mems failures-note
the fact-are MORAL failures.
1t costs effort to make character.
1t is easy to go to the devil
If you go down the toboggan slide,
don't say your ancestors or circum-
stances creased the way.
And now abideth Heredity, Environ
ment. Personal Endeavor, these three.
but THE GREATEST OF THESE is
Personal ENDEAVOR.
