Flrnt Iaa ID iron.

Az result OF his interesting investi-
cations, DR. Ridgeway concludes that
the smelling Of iron originated in
central Europe, and especially 10 the
region known as NorIcum. equivalent
to modern Austria and Bavaria.
In Egypt II can be traced back to the
ninth century B, c.. and In Libya to
about $50 b. G. First mention of Its
use In China goes back to 400 b. g..
while In Uganda It Is said to have
been In use only some Ave or six
centuries
The above date for the first use of
Iron In Egypt refers to the metal OBJ
tained by smelling. The use Of ma
tive iron Ia the form Of meteorites
dates back 10 remote antiquity. The
weapons made from these were OBJ
talned, like Clint implements, by chip
ping. And II Is interesting to remCm.
Der that recent investigations have
shown that the iron OF many meteor
ties is sort OF natural steel.

sPoKANE's sETlFIsHNEss,

There IL much complaint from sur.
rounding towns regarding the atti-
tude OF Spokane toward them and
their interests, the statement often
being made that the city by the
falls has no use for the surrounding
towns except as they may be made
beneficial to her business interests
and that Spokane claims credit for
the whole territory embraced within
the borders OF the Inland Empire. II
Is all Spokane's, created by Spokane
and dependent upon Spokane, In fact
Is Spokane spread out: when the
facts are that all Spokane "a today
she owes to the outside territory
and surrounding towns. But for the

kane would today be struggling

The surrounding country made Spo-
kane. and no matter how strongly 1t
may protest that II made the sur
rounding country, the facts cannot
be concealed from the world. There
ID no doubt but what q change OF
policy toward the smaller surround
Ing towns would take trade to SpO-
kane that now goes 10 Portland and
Seattle, not on account OF freight
rates either. The treatment accord

lon OF President Taft's visit shows

the president TO become the guest

Idaho people out Of the way and as.

even letting the Idr.ho committee

moderate weakness in all deliveries
Cold weather was the forecast for the
winter wheat belt but this failed 10 have

trifle above the low point, with May at

Industrious Housewife lnvades

Business was quite brisk on the prod.
ucc market Saturday Despite the cold
weather, Market row was invaded by
the Industrious housewife more or less
all day. The demand for meat and fish
was very good, but that for poultry
was more light, owing largely perhaps
to the fact that quotations in this line
Of goods continue rather high. Poultry
is scarce also.
Quotations on turkeys show no change
and dealers give no hopes Of any rcduc-
tion being made in the price of the deli
cacy until after Christmas.
