Washington, Nov. Prosperity
has arrived. according to a statement
issued today by the bureau of Stats
tics of the department of commerce
and labor.
During September the business of
the country and the volume of freight
cars used reached proportions which
excelled those of the same month last
year. In fact the bulletin declares
that while the number of idle cars
at the end of last month had not
altogether disappeared, there were
indications that car shortage would
quickly develop.
These improved conditions are
most pronounced in the coal and iron
trades. The movement of lumber
also was somewhat heavier. There
was decided slump in the receipts
of grain and -four at the four leading
seaports and receipts of grain at Is

preparing here today to launch a
great fight against Spokane's police

abolish street speaking. Without OBJ

stubborn conquest for free speech
that will begin here tomorrow.
telegram was received this morn

of revolutionists in Kalispell, Mont,
stating that 500 members and SYM

go to Jail with the rest of them for
the cause. They will not advance to
Spokane till the local officials issue a
call for them, however.
In police circles, preparations are
also being made, and before tOmOr-
row night both county and city jails
may be crowded to their capacities
