THE COAST HOG.

The Spokane rate decision, while II
is not as broad as it should be, helps
the intermoun,ain region some. II
will help a great deal more in the
future If the Portland, Seattle and
San Francisco hogs keep up Their
yawp about being entitled to the same
or better rates from the east than
towns in the interior from two T.
five hundred miles nearer eastern
shipping points.
The plea of the Coast hogs, VIII.
have fattened for years on over pay
ments by people in the Inland Empire
is that because of water competition
they are entitled to a less rate thai
Spokane or Baker City. This plei
is absolutely without equity.
To meet water competition, tht
railroads make say a rate of S15 {
ton on some commodity from Chicago
TO Portland. II they are hauling tina
commodity at a profit at that rate
then every point east of Portland is
justly entitled to a less rate. There
cannot possibly be any ifs or ands
about that.
If the railroads hauling that com
modify from Chicago to Portland a,
Sl5 do so at a loss, then somebody
IS digging down in his pockets aat
making up that deficit. The people
between Portland and the Rock,
Mountains have been doing that digg
ing for a good many years when the.
had to pay on goods shipped from
Chicago the coast rate plus the loca
rate from Portland back to the in
erior town. But the people here ar,
ired of thus helping to fatten the
Coast hogs, who are now putting VI
/ big howl to keep their unfair ad
iantage.
If the railroads can't meet waite
competition to the Coast on Easter
shipments without loss, then tho
'ailroads shouldn't try. They havnt
my right to rob Peter to pay Paul.
If water transportation is such {
tremendous boon to Portland ant
seattle, let them get their goods b.!
water. If the Coast jobbing house
have such a big natural" advantage
over Spokane, what are they bowling
so about
The truth seems to be the Spokane
houses will get all the trade If given
he just and equitable railroad rates
hey are entitled to.

local men who have made a personal
examination of the Flathead and
Occur d'Alene reservations, is that
nine-tenths of the land is no better,

If Merchant Jones chanced off a

SUNDAY EVENING AT THE
FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Another large audience was present
TO hear the third sermon in the series
which the minister is preaching to
young people. His theme was what
Induced the Prodigal Son to Come
Home." He showed that the boy was
beside himself while in sin and it took
his sufferings to bring him to CON
sideration of his real condition. He
advised all people to think seriously
OF their condition and said the reason
why many people refused to render
obedience to the Christ was that they
looked upon sin as a light matter. Sin,
he said was really an act in contempt
OF the high court of heaven, contra
diction of the high and holy purpose
which God had in mind when he ere
ated man. A mixed quartet beauti-
fully rendered Where is My Wander
ing Boy Tonight" and when the inyi-

BURGLARS DO
CLEVER
JOB

The burglars who entered Dugan's
and Jackman & Lemons stores were
generous, considerate fellows as well
as clever worlSmen. They didn't smash
up everything or try to carry off a
whole stock of goods.
At Dugan's nothing was missing this
morning and at Jackman & Lemons
they took only the S4, which was al
ways left as a nest-egg in the cash
drawer, and a couple of pairs of shoes.
]. c. Eisfelder, jeweler, in the same
building, missed two cheap watches.
The gentlemen who did the work
were evidently skilled glaciers. In
both instances entrance was effected
by removing large window pane from
the back door. AT Jackman & Lemons
the glass was carefully set aside out of
the way, but at Dugan's it had been
broken after being taken out.
The burglary occurred last night.
Two boys arrested on another
charge are also suspected of compile
ity in these two burglaries.
