MAY AFFECT LOCAL
ROADS
NORTHERN PACIFIC AND GREAT
NORTHERN MAY BE TIED UP
TONIGHT BY STRIKE OF THE
b. r.. T.

Spokane, Feb. Eff the strike
of the members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen on the roads
west of Chicago is called on Satur-
day night, according to the announce
ment of vice-President A. F. Whit
ney at Chicago yesterday, Spokane
will see a more severe tie-up than
has characterized the strike OF the
switchmen.
Members of the local lodge of the
brotherhood stated last night that
if the strike is called, it will be
obeyei to a man by the B. R. I.
men here. The ultimatum is to be
submitted to the roads today, &C
cording to the announcement OF
Whitney, and the managers will
be given until Saturday to comply
with the demands.
In case the strike is called it Will
be the more serious because of the
fact that the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen now have an affilia-
ton with the Order of Railway Con-
ductors and the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Firemen and Enginemen. II
the strike is called the members OF
all three organizations will walk
out because of the affiliations.
IF has not been generally known
to the public that the B. of R. T.
and the B. of r. F. and E. have an
agreement. Local members of the
two lodges assert, however, that
there is an affiliation, and that the
men of the three brotherhoods are
prepared to go out at call from head
quarters. The utilization between
the B. of R. T. and the B. of r. F.
and E. took place last fall after the
matter had been submitted to the
membership Of the two brotherhoods
by a referendum vote. The affilia-
ton between the B. of r. T. and the
o. R. C. has been in effect for some
time.
Vice-President Whitney, who made
the statement at Chicago yesterday,
made an extensive trip over the
Northwest lines in December. 1t
was stated at that time that it was

Walla Walla Got Recognized.

Walla Walla, Feb. 14.-Sic transit
gloria mundi, which freely trans.
lated, means, whats the use?'
They have discovered another Walla
Walla! All these years, safe and
secure in its splendid isolation, Wal
la Walla has scorned the feeble at
tempts to make fun of her name.
The person who said, 'No wonder
the town went wet, when the man
who named it was seeing DOUBLE" and
all of his kind have been absolute
ly ignored Walla Walla is a pecu-
liar name, but then you know it is
the only Walla Walla in the whole
wide world When a town occupies
one entire class all by itself, even a
name like Walla Walla fails to sub
due it.
Now this day, Simon Wertheimer
manager of the Western Union tele-
graph office, looking through a 92S-
page brand new telegraph code OF
the world, came upon the startling
discovery that we are twins. There
is another Walla Walla. 1t is in New
South Wales. The germ of a who
is-the-firstand-only-W. w. contest Is
stalking abroad.
Who did it is not known. Whe-
Their the founder emigrated from
this vale of plenty, years agone and
named the new town Walla Walla,
while he was still it's entire popula-
ton, or whether he called a town
meeting and persuaded them to adopt
the name, is not known. But he did
it some way, and Walla Walla, Wash,
is no longer alone in its glory. What
Walla Walla wants now is for this
bloomin' British carbon copy to 60
change its name.
That Walla Walla has had several
close calls is also shown by the new
telegraph guide, which reveals neat

Spokane Had q Great Song.

Here is the song. which was th'
favorite of the Spokane delegation
which was sung by 1heir quartet:
There is a city beautiful
Far away in the Great Northwest,
Kissed by the last rays OF The sun
AS it sinks in the sea to rest.
IT'S locked mid baryld hills,
Just below the Cascade span
And that dear city is home to me.
It's sunny old Spokane.
Chorus:
I love all your fertile valleys.
I love all your rocks and rills;
I love all your stately pine trees
And I love all your grand old hills
Your river that's dashing and splash
ing
A paradise to man;
Meath your blue sky let me sleel
When I die, in Sunny old Spokane
I've watched you grow from child
hoods days,
From the smallest to the great;
Where peace and plenty rules fo
all
OF the strangers within your gates
I've list to the song of the falls
AS it spurns it's rocky bans;
I've dreamed of you a sweet dream
that's true
Dear Sunny Old Spokane.
The quartet was composed OF Chas
Eaton, first tenor; Will Clark, sec
ond tenor; Jake Hill, first bass
George Chant, second bass; N. S
Krantz, director.
And here was their yell:
Ran! Rah!! Rah!!!
Who are we?
Spokane, Spokane,
Can't you see?

What One Woman Did.
One dissatisfied woman who had
spent twenty years in finding fault
with life because it did not give her
what she wanted, suddenly made up
her mind to study drawing. That was
only three years ago. She is now doing
most creditable work, besides being
thoroughly happy, and making her hus-
band so. with her contentment and
cheerfulnesS. She is already able 10
beautify her home with efforts OF her
own, and. instead Of wishing the day
would pass, she wishes each day were
twice as long.
1t is the greatest mistake in the
world for woman to wait for other
people to entertain her: or to wait for
her husband to entertain her
u came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister" should be the motto
OF every woman. Think of yourself as
the one who has something to oeStow.
Take a mental stock Of your posses
Sions; and if you have nothing to be-
stow, GET 1T. Enrich your mind: ac-
qutre accomplishments. In the slang
parlance Of the day. Get bSsy."
Life was never so rich with Opportu-
mites for women as it is today. It is
shameful thing for any woman to
say that she is lonely or that she
does not know what TO do with her
self
The Busy, Cheerful Woman.
The idle. complaining woman will
never find people anxious to entertain
her. The busy. cheerful. occupied
woman will find everybody at her beck
and call No man can remain in love
with woman who is forever leaning
upon him and expecting him to pro-
vide entertainment for her. One of the
surest ways to keep a man in love is
" show him how capable you are OF
entertaining yourself and him at<the
same time
1t is not necessary that you should
talk to man continually about what
YOU are doing; but II you are occu-
pied. and interested in Your occupa-
tons. YOU Will. quite unconsciously to
your self. perhaps. become entertain-
ing You viii know how to talk and
to listen far better than the idle. I'M

One man said 10 his friend: You look

"Of course I am OfttimeS obliged 10

my wife either in tears or on the verge

lonely; she does not know people: her
days are so long, and when 1 leave her
in the morning it is with the feeling
that I have put her in prison instead Of

about it. and I don't know what to do"
The man went off the train at this
point in the conversation. and they
were unaware they had left an un-
known, sympathetic friend behind The
lady lived alone. without relatives or
near friends. and was dependent upon
her own exertiOns for livelihood. She

to those who defended it in the sixties,
there is still occasion for charity
among the old soldiers, and the g. A
r. annually dispenses more than $780,
600 in that direction The Grand Army
has nearly a million dollars cash in
hand. and property of an aggregate
value of $2,622. 900
While the G. A r. has officially es-
chewed politics, ii has been the great
est factor in securing the liberal pen
sion system which enables the old SOL
diers to live in comparative ease and
comfort. The government has spent
more than $4,000. 000, 900 for their sup
port. In 1909 there were $1,000 claims
for new pensions presented at the pen
sion office and As, 900 of these were al
lowed Last year the Grand Army de-
clared that the agitation for increased
pensions should be brought to an end
for several years. The newspapers got
il three years. and there was con-
siderable stir among the old soldiers.
It is thought that from this time on
the annual pension budget will be de-
creased each year. as death is taking
each month
Complaints at Soldiers Homes.
Every now and then the country
hears many complaints from the old
soldiers who are inmates Of the Sol
diers' Homes of the country. These
are with reference to the
food. as well as accommodations While
Henry ~ Nevius was commander in
chief Of the G. A R he made a careful
Of the homes and declar-
ed that he found them all that could
be desired. He was not able even to
locate the anonymous compliments. II
was said not long ago by veteran
Soldiers Homes that he has found the
accommodation fully up to the standard
Of the average small hotel throughout
the country. There are 5000 veterans
in the ten national and thirty state
homes in the United States. In the ma
tional homes the expenditures amount
to S232.63 per capita per year. In sew
eral states there are homes where the
veterans are admitted with their
wives, and commander Nevius declares
that he found the veterans in these
homes more contented than in any 9TH
ers he visited.
Many Lost Lives.
