a plant that has been idle for about
three years, is soon to become a man

name of the concern in which several
local men are heavily interested, will
be the John S, Boyd company, Mr..
Boyd being a son of Pythagorus Boyd
of this city He has been engaged in
the same line Of manufacture for
some years.
Mr. Boyd is already in the city and
has been here for several days since
his return from abroad where he
spent six weeks in purchasing the
latest improved machinery for the
manufacture of the product of the
factory Looms will be Immediately
installed to manufacture the cloth
used for the making Of corduroy vel
vet and plush fabrics.
The plant will be one of only a
half-dozen or so in the United States
that manufactures this class of
goods, and while it will start in
small way, employing possibly only
so or so hands the fact that it is to
be under the management of an ex-
pert in this line of manufacture who
is interested himself is enough
ground for the belief that it will soon
expand and become one of the larg-

Die" will be enacted tonight be-
fore an audience of Spokane fight
fans at the s. A. A. c., with Spo-
kanc in the role of the hero striv-
Ing to reach the top of the ladder
and the Mulmomah club of Port
land as the villain in the play, de-
termined to bring down the gallery
by foiling the hero.
The villain is not to be sneered
at by any means. Portland invaded
Spokane this morning with the
strongest aggregation ever put on
the road by the Multnomah club,
and the local lads will have to ''go
some" if their slogan of -four
wins" or even cut down to three,
survives the evenings affair.
1t will be no kid-glove affair, this
Portland-Spokane smoker, but
slam-bang mixup between lads
trained to the minute, each one de-
termined to win his bout in the
least possible time. Every man on
the local squad is in perfect trim
for the smoker and no difficulty
viii be experienced in making the
weights.
The first preliminary will begin
promptly at S:15 o'clock, to allow
the II bouts to be pulled off in
good time.
