SETTLES
CAB MANS CONFLICT

At last, after much squabbling
and protesting between the chief
of police, Superintendent Beamer
of the Northern Pacific depot, and
hackmen in general, the row is
about at an end and the cases filed
in court against some of the cab
bies" will likely be dismissed by
Judge Mann.
An agreement by which the cab
men will be permitted to gather
but two abreast at the depot plat
form to load up has been reached
1t seems satisfactory to the cab
men, to the railroad officials and
to the police. All solicitation,
which is at best very noisy, must
be done from the sidewalk across
the way or from First avenue, be-
low the depot. The roadway In
front of the depot must be kept
clear to traffic. The arrangement
of affairs will also keep the ex-
pressmen on Bernard street.

CHIEF SULLIVAN BELIEVES
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
COULD PUT A STOP TO BAR
BERS GRATING VISITORS.

That the Chamber of Commerce
and 10000 club and all others of
the city's boosters responsible for
bringing visitors here from other
parts of the United States should
boycott grating barber shops as a
safeguard to the city's reputation,
was advocated by Chief of Police
Sullivan today.
There seems to be absolutely
no help for it other than to warn
visitors and every one else to trade
with the shops that are being run
on the square and to shun all shops
regarding which numerous COM
plants have been coming to me"
the chief said.
II would further suggest that the
public absolutely refuse to pay the
exorbitant prices being inflicted on
them. Make the BARRIERS come to
me with their complaints and their
attempts to collect the money in
such cases and l believe this thing
can soon be regulated. They will
not dare to lay their hands on a
person refusing to pay their prices.
If they do, we will take them in
hand ourselves"
Complaints came to the chief of
police last night from Edward
Grantham and c. F. Hendricks,
Wallace. Idaho, plumbers, regard
ing fragrant overcharges IN the
Grand barber shop at Howard and
Main. Grantham got about every
thing there was on the bill OF fare,
though he asked only for a shave
and hair cut and was charged
$3.50. Hendricks was in the chair
little more than half an hour and
was plucked of $5.75 for services
rendered.
Several complaints have been
made regarding similar treatment
In the Traders barber shop.

CANADIAN PACIFIC BRANCH FROM
SPOKANE TO VANCOUVER WITHIN YEAR

The mysterious buying in Spo-
kane, evidently designed to con-
meet the Canadian Pacific entrance
into Spokane over the Spokane Il
International with the North Coast
terminals on Front avenue. very
likely has a solution in the follow
ing United Press dispatch to The
Press today:
VANCOUVER, B. c., July 81
II Is learned that the Canadian
Pacific is preparing to build a
short line between Spokane and
Vancouver. 1t recently acquired
the charter of road between Mid
way and Vernon which was left
unfinished by the promoters.
1t is reported the new line will
be in operation within a year.
This Is considered a direct reply
to Hills entrance into Canadian
Pacific territory.
The North Coasts present ter.
minal on the coast is Seattle. AS a
Canadian Pacific branch this gives
the latter road an entrance of its
own into the principal coast port
and the stronghold of the Pacific
of the Hills. The Canadian line
will here come into direct competi.
ton with the Great Northern on the
latter roads own grounds.
A road from Spokane to Vancou-
yer would cover any point that
might be left open in this territory
to the Hill lines, should they de.
eide to retaliate further.
At any rate the move makes

consideration of the franchise.
