INDUSTRIAL DAY

Industrial day was observed at
the chamber of commerce luncheon
this noon. The great need of new
manufacturing industries in the
city was dwelt upon forcibly. F. l.
Culbertson urged that a tract of
land be purchased so that from
time to time manufacturers who
would settle in this city could have
tract of land free upon the condi-
ton of their establishing a plant
here. d. T. Ham and Stanley
Mayall relivered addresses, and
Robert A. StrahOrn, president of the
North Coast, gave short but
pointed talk in which he declared
that future development of this city
would show that his mergers in the
railroad world have been the best
possible thing for Spokane.

a meeting Of the BARRIERS Safe
ty association at the MetropoIi-

proposition of raising the price
of a hair cut to so cents as far

the association are urging that.
the "seIf shavers" be charged
as much as 81 for hair cut.
Local BARRIERS declare that
some patrons have grown so
"nervy" that they will walk
into a shaving emporium with
a three days growth Of beard
and order hair cut only. Self
shaving has come to be almost
an obsession among the young
