NJ. r. will sail shortly for the United
states at the request of John f. Red
mond, the Irish leader. to explain the
political situation to the supporters
of the Irish cause in America and To
appeal for funds to carry on the
struggle for home rule.
The nationa&ists regard the APP
preaching general elections as one of
the most critical periods in their his
tory. and the full power of their or
ganization will be utilized in helping
the liberals deprive the house of lords
of the power of veto, which. they
claim. is the sole remaining obstacle
to home rule.
The nationalists point of view is
set forth in an appeal Mr.. Redmond
Is forwarding to NJ. j. Ryan, of Phil
adelphia. which follows:
"A great crisis in the Irish struggle
has arisen. The house of lords is
engaged at this moment in destroying
the Irish land bill, with its promise
of closing the land war of centuries
and completing the restoration of all
the land of Ireland tn her people and
the hanishing forever of misery and
famine from the west OF Ireland
General elections are certain within
the next two weeks. In these cleo
tons the veto of the house of lords
will be AT stake: with the veto of tho
house will disappear the last obstacle
of home rule.
In this fight Ireland will he ar
rayed against oil the forces of land
lordtsm, wealth and privilege Once
more We appeal To our race To help
us fight against these powerful enc
mics of our race"

ems. chief counsel for the Spokane
Chamber Of Commerce. the Spokane
Jobbers' association and the city and
county Of Spokane In their battle
against the transcontinental lines for
equitable freight rates on westbound
shipments to the Inland Empire, has
prepared the appended history Of the
spokane case for President TAFT at the
latter's request The chief allegation
in the complaint, the first case flied
under the Hepburn act. is discrimina
ton against the people Of Spokane
and the tributary district.
After reviewing at length the find
ings of the Interstate commerce conn
mission as to the valuation Of the
railroads which serve the Spokane
country. Mr.. Stephens says in part:
The city of Spokane, the promoter
nf the case. nestles in the valley of
the Spokane river and near the edge
of the best wheat fields that the sun
shines upon, at the foot of the noun
tains covered with timber. In these
mountains. within 100 miles of the city
of Spokane. i'm the northern part Of
Idaho, are the best lead mines i'm the
world.

Whether or not the city should al
low C. b. Lyman the right to build a
chicken house in the back yard of his
shop into which he is preparing to
move in few days was the principal
subject of conversation at the regular
meeting of the city council last night
A petition signed by the other busi-
ness men on that side of the street
was presented to the council asking
that he be denied the right to do so
for the reason Of the odor that results
from the confining of poultry in
coops or houses. This was asserted
to be dangerous to the health of the
other storekeepers. The matter was
referred to the fire committee, in
structing them to ENFORCE the fire or
dinance which provides that all build
ings or structures to be erected must
first be the subject of permit from
the fire committee.
The dog proposition was brought up
before the council and it was shown
that there were dozens of dogs in the
city that were a menace to the city,
whose owners had no license for their
existence. The ordinance was read in
regard to the matter and it was de-
cided to hire a dog catcher to get rid
of the pests. The marshal was to be
/, 1. IL.
and the privilege Of hiring assistance.
The price paid last year for this work
was a dollar apiece for each dog that
was caught. If no owner was found
the dog was killed and the remains
buried without the city limits, and if
the owner claimed the canine the
same had to pay dollar to get 1t out
Of pound. Every dog, according to
the ordinance, is required to have a
tax paid upon it and to wear a col
lar with its license number upon 1t.
