Spokane Letter

Spokane, Wash, July 13. Discuss
ing the tremendous advantages to n
preacher of being a scientific spark
err" Bishop w. Il. Quayle, of Chi
cago, said in the course of an address
at First Methodist church of Spokane
that any pastor who does not know
how to spark" ought to be ashamed
of himself. And" he added,
there is no use OF sparkling q
woman unless you can hold her
hand. I cannot expain why this is so,
but do know that 1t has to be done,
for have been there myself"
Judging from the prolonged ap-
plause and the repeated mods of ap-
proval by the listeners in the Amen
Corner following this remark, II Is
taken that the Chicagoan has started
something right here in sunny old
Spokane.
Bishop Quayle was assigned to
speak upon "Hall Caine and His ISL
and" but he digressed several
times to express his views on mar
riage and divorce, the influence of
woman and other questions. Here
are few of his sermonettes, gath
cred at random:
"a foe of the home Is always de-
strhctive of good order, civilization
and decency.
"Slums are wherever deviltry is.
] have seen slums in boulevards and
in the homes of millionaires.
THE solitary thing that keeps the
world decent is the home. Abolish II
and the world will go to the devil.
Marrying is the greatest thing in
the world, but from Its very com
monness we do not appreciate the
fact.
ANY one who slurs a woman's
love, insults the race. The worlds
life never gets and stays above the
level of womanhood.
"In America man is a sort of o
pocketbook for woman. She wants
him around at night, because he Is
then about as good as a poodle.
"The making of home sweet
place and raising of babies is Of
ten considered small business, but
domesticity is still Gods greatest
necessity and always will be-"

What is designed to be the largest
private irrigation project in the
United States will be installed in the
Horse Heaven country, southwest of
Spokane, where 100000 acres of
land Is to be watered at a cost OF
$15,000,000. The Klickitat Irrigation
company is backing the scheme,
which is to be in operation within
Ave years. The main canal will be
$50 miles In length and there will
be 16 reservoirs to be filled during
the winter months and melting snow
from Mount Adams in the sum-
mer. The irrigation of this tract,
officially known as the Klickitat pro-
ject. was deemed feasible by the
government engineers, who said in
their reports that the work would be
too expensive, while Others said that
the task is out of question. The pro-
moters of the enterprise haye made
thorough investigation OF the land
to come under the system, and II. A.
Holenbeck. secretary of the company,
says that as soon as owners OF 10000
acres of land sign to pay $50 an acre
for perpetual water rights the work
will begin. He announced also that
no payments are TO be made until a
year after the delivery of water.

deliberately leaped from the window
to escape the torments of small boys,
who split the air from morning until
night with crackers, miniature bombs

But II the proposed action is criminal, as
is generally assumed to be the case, that
would be the form of a subpoena even
where an individual is the complainant.

About 9:S5 o'clock Chauncey Man

the trucks of Oregon Short Line train No.
. which was standing on the sixth track
from the depot. Mr.. Manspeaker was
walking north on the west side of the

up the track he noticed what he at first
thought TO be a bundle of rags. On closer
examination he discovered the body of Mr..

rails OF the seventh track west of the
depot Mr. Woods right arm was cut
from his body just above tue wrist: his
left foot was cut off just above the ankle,
and mis- head was crushed.
How Mr.. Wood came to be 50 far away
from his train can only be conjectured.
The theory advanced by the railroad Of
ficials is that he was taking walk about
the yards before his train time and dld
not hear the engine approaching.
The engine which believed TO nave
killed Mr. Wood is Union Pacific No rs

There were perhaps fifty persons about
