COIN LOSING MONEY
Spokane Magnate Says Season Has
Not Been Profitable One.

Joe Cohn, the Spokane baseball
magnate, has it figured out that he
will lose $4,000 on the season, and
that despite the fact that his team is
a pennant winner. Just as soon as
Joe found that out he rushed into
print with a full statement of the
case. Joe does not believe in keep
ing anything hidden. He has no Sc
crets from the public. He says his
pay roll is $4,000 month. If that
is true he is paying too much. The
attendance at Spokane averaged
100 per game last year. This year
it shrunk to 1900 per game. In ad-
dition the Spokane club lost $4,000
on lemons-Collins, Granville. Pen
dry and Flood. Cohn says Brown
bought all these men before he left
the Spokane club, and if Brown is
such a wise guy Joe wants to know
how he came to make so many mis-
takes. Then Joe had to buy Cooney
and Netzel and kratZberg. Joe fig
ures that he will make some money
next year for he will not have to do
much patching to put his team in
the field. But Bob Brown says if
Cohn does not take back what he said
about him few days ago, Joe will
be put out of baseball and then he
will not have any use for ball club.
While these two are making all kinds
of cracks at each other now they will
be as chummy as twins when they
meet at the annual meeting of the
league here next winter. Scraps be-
are one big joke.

quented by Automobiles. Historical
societies and persons interested in
the preservation of the ancient land
marks are trying to save the old
mill, but it is likely that it will be
torn down within few days.
The reputation of the place as be-
ing haunted is not confined to the
residents of the neighborhood. Per-
sons who have passed the scene at
night in automobiles have told
strange stories of grewsome sights
and sounds as they passed by the OLD
building. Some of those who have
had the experience once now go miles
out of their way rather than pass by
it late at night.
Among the countless legends
which have clustered about the
haunted mill" is one concerning a
young man of the neighborhood who
went to investigate the place alone
about Is years ago. The mill, even
at that time, had acquired doubt
full reputation and the young man,
a farmer, said he was determined to
find out for himself just what was

him ever knew what he saw, for he

Freight Rate Hearing in New York

New York, Sept. THE assem-
bling of representatives of the Inter
state Commerce commission, the rail-
roads and the shippers organizations
in this city today to begin the taking
of evidence in regard to the proposed
increase in freight rates in the east
marks the real beginning of the
greatest railroad fight in the history
of America. The hearings will be
conducted along the same lines as
those recently held in Chicago, where
the officials of the western roads
were called upon to justify their ad-
vances in rates. The hearings be-
fore the commission in this city will
probably consume several weeks
The chief arguments on the side of
the railroads will be presented, it Is
expected, by counsel representing the
big systems, such as the Pennsylva-
mia, Erie, New York Central and Bal
timore & Ohio. The testimony will

CAMP A|GN TO IN
CREASE TRADE
Many Cities Spending Large
Sums to Increase
Payroll.

That the campaign inaugurated in
Davenport for a greater city is not
something peculiar to itself is evident
from the fact that all over the coun-
| try different cities are doing what
they can to make their interests ad-
vance, says the Davenport (Iowa)
Democrat. All sorts of plans and
propositions are being utilized. Some
of the means are:
Des Moines, Iowa, is now spending
$4,000 year to promote the bust
ness interests of the city and to in
duce outside capital to invest there
Waterloo, Iowa, is carrying on a
strenuous campaign for new indus
tries.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, is ready to enter
upon a campaign, first of educating
GAINESVILLE people to appreciate their
own stores and factories, and to in
terest outside capital.
Trenton, N. j., has started cam

SUIT MAY NOW Be
TERMINATED
Great Northern Land and
Townsite Co. Changes
It's Name.

In satisfaction of legal proceed
ings started against it by the Great
Northern Land company, an old and
well established Spokane real estate
firm, the Great Northern Land and
Townsite company, whose methods
have been attacked by the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce, has changed
it's name. Officers of the company
remain the same, but the concern is
now known as the Trinidad Land
company.
This may terminate the suit
brought by the Great Northern Land
company, asking the Spokane court
for an injunction restraining the new
company from using "Great North
ern Land company" in its name.
Not Aware of Other Firm.
In explaining their action of
changing the firm name, members OF
the Trinidad Land company stated
that when the former company was
incorporated they did not know of
the existence of the Great Northern
Land company, and, as the secretary
of state accepted the articles for fill
ing under that name, they did not
consider the use of Great Northern
Land company" an infringement.
This is partially explained in the fact
that the original Great Northern
Land company has never been in
corporated.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE"
Can't Euict Sp0Oks so Old
Mill Must be DESTROYED

tells the story of young man who
lured his betrothed into the building
more than half century ago. They
were to be married the next day. Ac-
cording to the story the youth slew
the girl and afterward took his own
life.
Stories are told how at least four
other persons have committed sui
eide in the old mill, and how two or
three other persons have been MUIR
dered there.
Such is the ill-repute of the mill
that even if the municipal authori-
ties decide to tear it down, it is ex-
pected to be extremely difficult to get
men to do the work.

Roosevelt i'm Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 7.-One of
the largest and most representative
crowds ever seen in Milwaukee as
sembled today to join in the welcome
rived here from st. Paul shortly be-
fore s o'clock this morning. Despite
the early hour an immense throng
had gathered at the station and the
greeting to the ex-president was in
keeping with the enthusiastic DEM
onstrations which have everywhere
attended his tour throughout this
section of the country.
After concluding breakfast at his
hotel the ex-president was taken in
tow by the local reception committee
and the remainder of the forenoon
was spent in an automobile ride
about the city, with brief visits to the
Soldiers home, Marquette university,
the chamber of commerce and other
institutions and points of interest. At
luncheon the distinguished visitor
and his party were guests of the edi-
tors of the Milwaukee daily newspa-
pers and of the entertainment COM
mittee.
The afternoon program provided
for a public reception at the hotel
and later a visit to the Milwaukee
Press club. Twelve thousand tickets
of admission have been issued for the
Auditorium tonight, where the ex-
president is to conclude his stay in
Milwaukee with public address.

LATHAM AS RESERVIST
French Aviator to Take Part in the

THE most essential thing for the pro-
gross of any community or city is for
the people of that community to get to-
gether. Many of the misunderstand-
ings between individuals would be pre-
vented if they would get together and
discuss matters in a friendly spirit.
People of intelligence are likely to have
pronounced views upon important ques-
tons and these opinions may differ
materially in the minor details, yet in
the main have the same object in view.
1t is by remaining apart and taking it
for granted that the other fellow is OPP
posed to you that antagonism is engen-
dered and concerted action prevented.
We find that we like people better
when we know them better, that is if
thew are worth knowing. No commun-
itv can progress so long as there exists
a spirit of suspicion or jealousy among
the people. Every man will find it
worth while to meet his fellow man and
talk over the needs of the community.
It will not only help the condition of
the community but it will make him
feel better toward his fellow man and
give him an opportunity to get more
out of life.-Lake Geneva News.

APPARENTLY the deficit of the Post
office department, which last year ex-
ceeded $4,000, 900, is in fair way of
being wiped out by the natural growth
of the country's business. A Washing
ton dispatch states that in day or two
the postmaster general will be able to
sign an order returning to the general
fund of the treasury s., 900, 900 of the
amount transferred to the account of
the postal service. This is the first
time in many years that the depart
ment's receipts have justified reduc-
ton of its working capital by the act

FAST work continues to be done on
the Panama canal. Under the original
plan for the canal 103, 795, 600 cubic
yards of material were to be removed,
and that has been done already. Some
time ago, in order to accommodate war
ships of the dreadnaught type and the
giant liners now being built, the presi-
dent ordered the widening and deepen
ing of the big ditch. That involved the
removal of 70,800, 600 cubic yards addi-
tional, and that is all now remaining to
be done in the way of excavation. The
record made to date is without prece-
dent in engineering projects.
