Editors and publishers of $40 daily
weekly and class publications in east
ern Washington and Oregon, northern
and central Idaho, western Montana,
southeastern British Columbia and
points in Alberta have been invited by
the Spokane Press committee to meet
in that city on May to discuss plans
for the formation of the Inland Empire
Press Association. The purpose of the
organization is to unite the press of
the country to work for more substan-
tial and greater development of all
parts of the Inland Empire and to
encourage the emigration of desirable
settlers and influx of capital to assist
in building up the country and de-
velop its agricultural, industrial and
commercial resources.

MUCH SNOW IN MOUNTAINS
Ranchers Say Much of Beautiful May
Still be Seen In Sections.

According to assertions made by
ranchers living on the Blue mount
aims, there is more snow on the
mountains this spring than for nine
years. Henry Patrick, who is one Of
the older residents of the mountains,
tells the Dayton Chronicle that eight
inches of snow tell on Ecker mountain
Thursday.
z. M. Bartholomew. living 10 miles
east Of Dayton said: "The amount of
Snow and the unusual amount of mois-
ture in the ground will insure plenty
of water in the mountain streams this
summer" Owing to the fact that
the melting snow will not soak into
the soil predicts greater supply Of
water than for years. Once the tim
ber has been cleared from the hills
tributary to the Touchet and Patti the
water during the.summer months be-
comes so low that irrigation and sani-
tary conditions are interfered with.
This year it is thought the supply will
be maintained through the summer.
On the foothills this spring the snow
is from four inches to foot in depth
while at Oregon Buttes. near the Tux
anon breaks. there is said to be six to
eight feet, with additional snow falls
every few days. There will be an
abundance of mountain pasturage.

TO SUE WHITMAN FOR Taxes
County Commissioners Vote $500 to
Fight in Court.

Three hundred dollars was voted by
the Walla Walla county commissioners
to Prosecutor E. J. Smith, with which
to prosecute an old case against Whit
man college for delinquent taxes. The
taxes have been accommodating since
1901, though on portions of the con-
tested property the taxes have since
been partially paid.
Prosecutor Smith will secure as his
assistant Lester Wilson of Seattle,
formerly prosecuting attorney of
Walla Walla county, and the case will
be taken before the United States su-
preme court next month, according to
Mr.. Smiths statement. Much of this
land hsa been donated to the college,
and some of it with delinquent taxes
at the time of the donation, it is said.
On the county books there appear
900 acres of farm land, of an aggre-
gated valuation of 500, 1872; 40 city
lots and the Ransom CLARK donation
claim of an assessed valuation of $500
with delinquent taxes previous to 1908
of $617.42. Mr.. Smith stated. how
ever, that the amount of land, of total
assessment, and of delinquent taxes is
far greater than this. the college hav-
ing obtained much land since these
assessment rolls were made up.
Acting President Anderson of the
college, when asked for statement,
said:
''The case was in the United States
court two years ago and Whitman
won, and though am no lawyer be-
lieve we will win in the supreme
court -

Ola MOND DUST

A death-like silence reigned SUI
preme on the diamond in Eagle
Park last Sunday. An awesome
quiet, sepulchre-like in its complete
ness, hung like pail over the en-
tire grounds throughout the day.
The laughing, crying, praying fan,
the small boy with his idiotic gyra-
tions and ear-spitting screetches
technically known as 'rooting,) |
and the loud, heart-rending Strike
ali" of the umpire, together with
the rain and binding dust which
characterize all ball games to a
greater or less extent-all these
were absent from their usual tryst-
ing place in Bonnertown last Sun
day. To be more explicit, Mgr.
Cleary's Dreadnaughts took it easy
that day, and rested on the laurels
already won.
The Blair Business College nine
of Spokane, who are pleased to say
they are under the management of
Albert Causton, who happens to be
of local production, have arrived at
the conclusion that our own irwin
chile Dreadnanghts are being threat
ened with a severe case OF inflated
Uranium, and have condescended to
grace cur town with their presence
tomorrow, Sunday, for the express
purpose of reducing any noticeable
swelling in the topknots of the
Dreadnaughts. And the local fan
looks forward to this game with
smile on his face and money in his
pants. The Dreadnaughts have
been the means of much money
getting for this same fan in the
past, and now he's ready to pin his
faith in them always. Wise duck.
Southpaw Hart will officiate in
the Dreadnaught box tomorrow.
This fact alone is sufficient evil
: dence that the College kids will not
have walkaway. Now, let's all
be there in force; they say Blair
= has a great team, and we all know
: what the Dreadnaughts are.

lost. A certain percentage will OF
course be picked up in the Kootenai
lake, but it will be only a very
small saving compared to the enor-
nous loss of the different lumber
ing firms, caused by the sudden
and rapid rise of the river and the
giving away of the log booms Of the
East Kootenai in Canada.
Over twenty million feet OF
stray timber has passed Boomers
Ferry the last week. Three million
feet got away at Libby Tuesday
night, and six million more was
lost at Wardner, B. c., on Wednes-
day night This timber, sweeping
down with the heavy current, car
ried with 1T everything on the river
including several million feet o,
timber belonging to the Boomers
Ferry Lumber Co., and nearly al
the timber of the Crescent Wooden
ware & Box Mfg. Co. All efforts
to stop it were useless, and log
were carried down into the lake BIZ
low. The largest loss was on Wed
nesday night and Thursday, wher
it is estimated that the timber pass
ing Boomers Ferry averaged a mil
lion feet an hour for fifteen hours
1t means a great loss to the com
panies concerned, as the logs Cal
only be be recovered at great ex
pense and many of them will new
er be recovered.

BRIDGE LOCATED
Gov. Brady Informs the State Audi

Money is Now Ready.

Engineer Cave was employed by
the commission to make a survey
of the three sites proposed. The
figures were turned in to the state
engineers office and the work was
entirely satisfactory.
State Engineer Stephenson ar
rived in the Ferry last Saturday,
and after a short consultation with
VIM. Leslie and G. D. Rowell, the
bridge commissioners, the location
for the new bridge was given out.
1t will practically be where the low
bridge now is, and will extend
above the S. 1. Ry. on the north
side of the river. Harley Cave is
expected up from Standpoint today
to take some soundings of the river
bottom to ascertain just what kind
of bottom there is, so the com
missioners will know whether the
piers can be made of solid con-
crete or timber and concrete. 1t is
expected that call for bids for the
construction of the bridge will be
advertised within the next week.

contractors who are anxious to bid
for the contract to build the bridge

MILLIONS OF FEET OF TIMBER
Passed Down the KootenM River this Week
Most of the Logs Belong to Canadian
Lumber Companies.

A peculiar sight which has never
been the fortune of the residents of
this district to witness before was
seen last Thursday morning, when
millions of feet of logs floated down
the Kootenai river, caused by the
breaking of the booms of several
lumber firms above Gateway, B. c.,
where was stored their winters cut
ting of timber. Nothing daunted
the on-coming of the rush of this
immense body of cut timber until
it reached the solid booms of the
Bonners Ferry Lumber Company
stretched across the river at Cross
port four miles above Boomers Fer
ry. Even the enormous and vel
built booms of this company could
not stand the strain of the rushing
volume of timber as it came dowr
the river. Early Thursday morn
| ing their booms gave way, ant
down came millions and millions
of feet of enormous logs carrying
everything before them.
The booms of the Crescent boz
factory just below town, also CAV
away under the strain of rushing
logs, and it's storage of logs for tn
summer saving joined the rest il
a mad stampede for Canada, carry
ing everything in their path witt
