RAISE
HITS SPOKANE
Opposition From Coast Causes
Railroads 70 Boost Tariffs TO
This Territory.

SPOKANE. wash. NOV. 24-In
seeming response TO the turmoil rails
ed by the Coast shippers at the an
nouncement OF raise OF 10 per
cent or more per hundred pounds on
through shipments TO the coast, the
railroads have announced q similar
raise on Spokane shipments.
The raise in rates TO the coast was
contained in tariff sheet No. I'D, and
10 effective january 1. The sheets
giving the amount OF the increase
on various articles we're received by
Spokane and coast shippers a little
more than a week ago. BY local men
Il was interpreted to give the city
an advantage OF 10 per cent over pre-
yipus conditions, as, while # did not
make the coast rate az great as the
Spokane rate, 1t gave a decrease OF
10 cents or more in the difference
between the two rates.
10NDG UAAAAB hEuW6CUs
Violent opposition was raised in
Seattle. Tacoma and Portland. and It
was Threatened to take the matter up
with the Interstate Commerce com
mission. Word that a similar raise
In Spokane rates will 60 into effect
at the same time, January /, was re-
ceived In this city yesterday. That
the raise, to this city was not at first
contemplated by the railroads Is the
opinion Of the local men concerned,
both shippers and railroad men. One
Of the latter expressed himself as fol-
lows:
II do not believe that the roads in
tended raising the Spokane rates at
an, The fact THAI 1t has been done
y probably due to the disturbance
which has been raised by the people
on the coast. and Is merely tempo
Fary measure by the railroads to ST.
ience them until the Interstate Com
merce commission can render it's de-
cislon."
When the raise on coast shipments
was announced It was considered that
the railroads were hedging to avoid
any falling of in revenue should the
decision of the commission equalize
Spokane and coast rates. The tenn
porary raise on Spokane rates It is
believed will silence the opposition
to the new rate which has been
created on the, coast.
The rates affect only articles which
have their rates fixed by water com.
Petition such las cotton piece goods,
boots and shoes, iron pipes and ma

Temple commandery No. s.
knight Tempiar, one OF the youngest
fraternal organizations in the city,
but one which has grown and pros
pered until It can now boast OF a
good membership, possesses in It's
ranks twelve unmarried knights. and
II the action contemplated by the
Anglers and Mittens' committee is
carried out these knights may find
themselves auctioned on at the ball
that will be given at the Hotel Idaho,
Wednesday evening.
The committee held an executive
session last night and listened to a
report OF the Organizations society
editor with relation to the progress
made by the unmarried knights along
matrimonial lines, and It was OF 30
nnfayorable a character that the
committee decided that 1t would be
necessary for 1t to take immediate
action in order TO- expeyaiate the
matrimonial alliances OF these men,
bers.
The society editor advised the COM
mittee that he had interviewed q
prominent Bachelor Maids organize
tion. the purpose and iabors OF which
- to facilitate marriages between
the opposite sexes, with the view OF
learning the cause for the. single
state Of the knights. and ascertain
that the fault was not to be. found
because Of the lack OF industry in
the ranks Of this organization. This
member OF the Bachelor Maids adj
mitted. so the report goes, that a
great number Of organization mem
beers had been married, and that, az
ter they had entered into the holy
bonds OF matrImony they. had left
the other members to shift for them
selves, but also stated that there
were number Of attractive and
handsome girls left, and generally
took a very optimistic view OF the
situation. In the course OF the IN
terview she admitted that in view
Of the fact that this Is. leap year
that the. members had not pressed
their suits rs strongly as they might.
and that none Of them, had made a
formal application for a husband. or
exercised their leap year prerogative
but would soon. She indicated q
perfect willingness 70 enter the mar
rled state provided a suitable knight
could be found, and stated that the
other members we're also OF the same
mind, but their efforts along this
direction had been rewarded with
but little announcement as the
knights were cold and Indifferent,
and were following In the tracks OF
their fore fathers, and daYotlng their
time to the study of warfare instead
Of the art OF love. and the pursuit
Of faiT maidens.
The committee. after a careful de-
liberation Of the report, suggested
that Immediate action be taken.. and
among other mems OF disposing OF
the knights was that public auction.
In the event that at its Anal consid-
GRAFTON OF the matter this method
should be decided upon. sac
