One hundred and sixty miles of
railroad, Independent of the work of
the transcontinenta1 lines, which
are building 1900 miles of road in
Eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho, was constructed in the Spo-
kane country in 1907, the cost being
approximately s6,J0O,OOO. OF the
total mileage under construction 134
miles was completed and put in op-
Grafton during the year. The total
cost of the completed work was s5,-
900 900 for building alone.
The most important project begun
and finished in the year was the
building of the Idaho & Washington
Northern Railroad, so miles. This
line runs from Grand Junction( %
miles northeast of Spokane on the
Spokane International, to Newport,
Wash, 43 miles. A branch line,
which was the first piece of track
built, connects with the Spokane In
ternational at Clagston Junction,
and with the main line of the Idaho
& Washington Northern at Coleman.
The Washington, Idaho & Monta-
ma, otherwise known as the Weyer-
haeuser road, completed the con-
struction of track from Potlatch to
Bovill, Idaho, and the B. R. Lewis

the north and south forks of the
Occur d'Alene river, following the
north fork and Prichard creek to
Paragon gulch, six miles east OF
Murray, Idaho: The length of the
line is 33 miles. Following the COM
pletion of the main line a branch
will be built southwark along Bea-
that waterway. The main line will
be completed next September.

line is built from point IL miles
north of Grand Forks, B. c., and the
construction has progressed as far
south as Republic, the northern part
of the line being the only portion in
operation. The line is surveyed to
the Spokane river, the north bank of
which it will follow to Spokane, ac-
cording to the announced plans of
the projectors. South OF Republic
some grading was done until late in

"The courts of justice are the

The foregoing words OF wis

not by denouncing the judges

with public sentiment, which is

customer is heard to swear he is re-

Fifty Thousand of Them ut Present.
Said to BE Lacking Tenants.
Fifty thousand empty houses In Lon
don! John Burns made this startling
announcement In the house Of commons
recently, says Tit-Bits. Large as this
number is there are those who believe
it is under rather than over the marx.
A remarkable change has taken place
during the past five or six years
Whereas, formerly landlords were mas.
ters Of the situation. tenants have now
the whip hand in nearly every district
and are offered all manner Of induce
ments to take houses.
1t is not long since that premium

key money"-was demanded by prop
erty owners in some parts Of London.
Today numbers of such men will act
ually allow tenants discount, which
consists in the case of small property
of the expenses of removal up to IL,
or else of so many weeks occupation
free. Usually no rent is required for
the, first fortnight. but in certain To-
calities the competition between prop
erty owners is so keen that the period
in some cases is one month. making the
discounts about e. Is or e. 5S.
A more curious bait is free insur-
ance. One company gratuitously In
sures each Of its tenants against fire;
while another, besides safeguarding
the householder against this conting-
ency, relieve him of apprehension re-
speeding any damage to his furniture
by lightning or flood.
Certain separate charges have also
been swept away, particularly in the
case of flats, which, it is said, are now
drug in the market. Some landlords,
for instance, made one fOn-the clean

actual Casa man owned about fifty
flats and returned their rent as IL
pence per week each less than it really
was, his assessment was considerably
lower than it ought to have been, and
consequently he did not pay his due
proportion Of rates. But, Of late tex.
