Get Close to Market.

Location plays an important part in
business. The man who lives a long
distance from market will seldom find
it profitable to grow small fruit that
nust be hauled several miles In the
hot sun to he marketed. The man who
lives long distance from market
should try TO sell finished products
from his farm. Butter, eggs, cheese,
porl, beef and mutton are finished prod
urts that can be successfully marketed
for long distances.

Great Northern. The Milwaukee
has also announced it's intention
of building into the Occur d'Alene
mining region, the traffic of which
is now shared jointly by the Hill
and Hartman lines, while other
feeders and extensions through
out this region are planned by the
Rocketellers.
The Hill people have announced
counter move in the extension of
the Inland electric system from
Occur d'Alene to Wallace, a dis
lance of SO miles.
In the Palouse wheat belt, the
granaly of the northwest, the war
between Hill and Hartman forces
mas broken out again in the last
few days. Judge Lovett, the nov
head of the Hartman lines, was in
Spokane a few weeks ago, and fol-
lowing his visit came the announce
ment of renewed activity on the
part OF the Oregon Railway & Navi-
cation Co., the Hartman property
IN this state. The contest is now
on for a point of advantage on The
Snake river and the rival survey
ing crews of the Hill and Hartman
companies are daily clashing
among the rolling hills Of lower
whitman county, Washington.

STORY OF RAILROADS.
GREAT FIGHT

the Milwaukee was when he learn
ed of it's efforts to gain control OF
the Inland Empire system OF cleo
trio railways, a Spokane enterprise
with 200 miles of city lines in Spo-
kane and interurban lines over
northern Idaho and eastern Wash
ington, in which Hill himself held
large minority interest The
Milwaukee wanted the Inland lines
for an entrance into Spokane. Hill
bought the control of the Inland
system for nearly 100000 in cold
cash and headed off the Milwaukee,
The defeat of the Milwaukee in
the control of the Inland was of
but temporary advantage. The
Rockefeller agents next walked
into Spokane and began buying up
business blocks for downtown
terminals, and paid prices for
ground that set a new high water
mark in real estate values. This
week comes the announcement
that the Milwaukee will build q
loop from Plummer, Idaho, into
Spokane, a total distance Of some
20 miles, which will enable it to
run its through trains through this
city one block closer to the heart
of the business section than Hills

DISCUSS HIGHER WAGES,

The matter of a raise of wages
for the carpenters Of Spokane will
be considered at the meeting of
the local carpenters union on Fri
day night. The proposition is to
raise the wages from $3.50 to S. a
day. Because of the advance in the
price of necessities and the heavy
expense of tools, the mechanics be-
lieye that they should have a
higher wage.
AS it is customary to give the
contractors notice. usually three
months, the matter will probably
be definitely decided on Friday
night.

Weekly Review Of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. &. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade says:
Monetary anxieties have faded
and business generally continues
wonderfully large and prosperous:
Some serious problems appear, one
of them in higher prices in many
of the markets, but these are in pro-
cess of adjustment. The copper I'M
dustry, so large under the depress-
ing influence of tremendous pE0--
duction, will be favorably affected by
plans for bringing the trade under
better control Reports from the
various trade centers continue OF the
same general nature.
Some lull in the demand for pig
iron is Offset by continued heavy pur-
chases Of finished material at advanc-
inc prices, and reports are infrequent
of premiums being paid for prompt
delivery. Buying of rolling stock
and other equipment by prominent
railroads is a conspicuous feature,
and some congestion is noted at car
shops because of the difficulty expert
enced in obtaining needed material
from the mills"
Bradstreet's says:
with the arrival of cold weather
retail trade, hitherto inclined to lag,
has taken on an appearance of. &C
tivity, and distributive trade reports
are more uniformly encouraging than
for some time past. In some sections.
particularly the Northwest, the tenn
porary effect of heavy SHOWS inter-
rupting transportation to some ex-
tent has been to dull some lines of
wholesale trade, but the general eff
feet of the winter visitant he's been
helpful. In wholesale lines generally
the nearer approach of winter has
had a stimulating effect upon general
feeling.
Holiday trade is good with job
bers, and the report as to spring
trade are in a high degree encourag-
