SPOKANE NEEDS
PROMOTION WORK

Zeno X. Myers "As a result of my
recent tour of the Pacific northwest,
am impressed more than ever with the
Importance of exploiting that country
thoroughly for tourists and permanent
settlers. The field is ripe, and every
effort put forward will, am sure,
bring results.
Understand me, | am not criticizing
the work of the Promotion Committee.
Wherever the Committee has operated,
good work has been done. / heard of
this work in Portland and at other
places. l do not think however, there
is enough of it. We want more Of the
same thing as the old saying goes,
Spokane is a rich field for exploita-
ton. It is in the middle of a wealthy
mining and agricultural country, con
tanning hundreds and thousands Of peo-
pie to whom the winter climate OF Ha-
waii would appeal as just the proper
thing. Recently three prominent men
of Spokane have bought property in
the Islands, and they are three big
promoters in themselves of the Islands.
Let us get the ball started over there

RUBBER MARKET
SAID TO Be WEAK

In sympathy with weaker foreign
markets, prices here declined to a low.
er point than had been touched in many
months, fine up-river being quoted
at $2.40. notwithstanding this break in
prices, however, dealings displayed lit
tie activity, buyers apparently delay
ing operations in hopes of still further
recessions. Although it is said that
small lots changed hands at the Of
fetal quotations, it is not known that
any sales of size have been made, and
in no direction does it appear that
holders are exerting any considerable
effort to move their stocks at the pre-
sent price level. Sellers do not look
for much further decline, as some large
consumers are said to be running
short of supplies and are expected to
shortly enter the market, which
should give some strength TO the local
situation. So far, however, business
has been slow and the market weak,
with little interest displayed by either
buyers or sellers.-Bradstreet

TALK ABOUT THE
TRIP TO ORIENT

Nearly all of the time of the Cham
Der of Commerce was taken up at the
meeting yesterday afternoon with dis
cussion of the proposed trip of the
Pacific Coast and Hawaiian delegates
to China in August. Inasmuch as the
big party will visit cities of China
off the regular routes of travel it is
regarded as a tour of extraordinary
interest and importance Details in
regard to it were submitted to the
meeting, the most complete being
from Robert Dollar, the steamship
man who has already visited China in
the interest of the excursion.
1t developed at the meeting that
Fred L. Waldron is the only member
certain to make the trip. r. c. Brown
of the Dearborn Drug Company, who
is already in the Orient, will also
likely be commissioned as repre-
sentative of Hawaii. and it is thought
that other local volunteers will short
ly appear. AS the trip will be one
with more or less hardship, no chill
dren will be taken along.
A long letter from Prof. A. F. Grit
flths, representative of Hawaii at the
last Mohonk Conference, was read.
The Professor performed his work
most satisfactorily and was accorded
vote of thanks by the Chamber.
Resolutions of coincidence were
adopted in respect to the memory of
the late W. W. Hall and the late
T. Lucas, both members of the cham
Der. The resignation of ]. S. Low
formerly representing Hind, Rolph Il
Company, was accepted.

SPBECKELS WILL
AGAIN IN COURT

The contest of the will OF the late

BUSINESS ASPECT
OF AVIATION ERA

The London Economist states that
"the recent engagement of Orville
Wright to fly during the international
week at Buda-Pesth was made on the
basis of 100000 kroners (GS,333).
Less known aviators even can COM
mand $1,000 per week, with a qua
ranteed minimum fight per day, wea-
Their permitting, of three minutes. In
the early stages there was no machine
like the Wright biplane; then Bleriot
crossed the channel, and monoplanes
became the fashion, assisted by their
comparatively cheap price of about
e4S0, as compared with the 1900
asked for the Wright. At the Rheims
meeting Lathams performances on the
Antoinette monoplane captured the
fancy of the crowd, but it was too ex-
pensive at $1,000, especially when the

turned out. They have apparently, in
sufficient wing area, and must there
fore be considered more as glorified
toys. Lately the Latham biplane ma
chine has attracted attention. This big
and powerful machine, which now sells
at 91,120 is more useful for competi-
ton purposes than some of the small
1nonoplanes. 1t is said that The acti
titles of speculative buyela have
created a strong bull account in flying
machines. For example, though the
Bleriot aeroplane is quoted by the
makers at 34SO their output has
been sold for about three months
ahead to speculative middlemen who
will only sell at a profit, and other
makers of good types of machines are
believed to be in a similar position

standardized to some extent is most

POLICE BELIEVE THIEF
 IS IN THEIR HANDS
Officer Sullivan Arrests Man Believed
 to Have Robbed Woman.

When Officer Peter Sullivan ycster- day arrested James Boyd he umdoubt- edlv made a clever catch. The man was member of the railroad con- struction gang of negroes which came here fevi days ago to work upon the new Buckeye railroad. one of the women Of the party reported day or two ago that she had been relieved of something in the neighborhood of $7O The police immediately set at work with the result that Officer Sullivan yesterday arrested Boyd
 When taken into custody he had no such sum of money upon his person as might reasonably connect him with the case, but a search of his belong ings revealed twelve dollars in money and check for nine dollars. The principal evidence against him just then was the check, for the woman who made the complaint had mention ed nine dollar check as being among the stolen property.
 Boyd at first strenuously denied that he had stolen the money but being pressed for an explanation of how he came in possession of the check, tt is said. he made enough admissions to pretty closely connect him with the robbery.

A Suggestion for Memorial Day.

Salt Lake City has arranged for the comfort of the old soldiers on Memo rial day. Automobile owners and au- tomobile dealers have kindly rendered the use of their machines for the two or three hours necessary to carry the old veterans to the cemeteries, where they will decorate the graves of their comrades.
 This unique and wholly practical method of testifying to the esteem of the public for the old soldiers should be adopted everywhere. Here in Phoenix. for example, where the day will be warm. why not provide the honored veterans with automobiles for their loving trip to Gods acre" where in time all of them must rt st The soldiers of our great war are few in number and their strength is fai,- ing. With sturdy courage they at tempt every year to visit the graves of their comrades and observe the sacred rites of Decoration day. but the task grows harder each year.

PROPRIETOR WILLIAMS

Despite the efforts of Proprietor Al Williams of the Ford hotel to afford ample accommodations for the travel ing public visiting Phoenix, that act i've and popular inn-keeper is finding that, even with his characteristic grasp of affairs. they are "piling up" on him. He has always made it a point to be prepared for his ''regu- lars,' even turning away transients that an old customer might rest as sured that accommodations would be awaiting him upon his arrival at the Ford.
 A few days ago Proprietor Will jams rented the new building at Sec ond avenue and Jefferson street in which are some of the finest rooms in the city having the additional advan- tage of having never before been oc- cupied. Last night every one of these new rooms was filled and Mir. Will jams was casting about for other rooms in the neighborhood.

Insufficient Money for the Maine.


 It appears that the battleship Maine
 is not to be raised from the bottom of Havana harbor immediately not
 withstanding the recent appropriation
 of one hundred thousand dollars by ! congress for that purpose-not enough
 money has been provided. Brigadier- General Marshall, chief of the engin-
 eers of the army, who is instructed i by the bill to supervise the work, es | be required Even the preliminary ! work, he says, will cost more than the sum appropriated. He plans to con- struct cofferdams around the wreck, pump the water from the enclosure. remove the remains of the sailors still held in the wreck, and examine the hull to see what would be necessary in the way of patching to make it float General Marshall insists that the work of patching the hull, or rais- ing it piecemeal if it will not float, will cost vastly more than has been estimated
 It is to be hoped, however, that it will be found that the appropriation will be sufficient to construct the cof- derdam, at least, and pump the water away. so that the bones of the brave sailors can be taken out and buried in America soil.
 This preliminary work would also disclose the cause of the explosion which wrecked the Maine. According ish government proposed to demand another court of inquiry on the cause of the explosion, if the hull is eX- i posed. As soon as the bill was passed by congress last month, Spanish naval officers began preparing elaborate re- ports upholding their theory that the explosion came from within the ship These reports will prove to be not only premature, but rather ridiculous, if it shall develop that the former court of inquiry made an accurate re- port of the physical conditions. It
 will be remembered that this court
 over which Captain William T Samp- son presided, found that the bottom plates of the ship were bent upward, forming a great arch, with a portion of the forward keel blown through the body of the ship and protruding above the deck 36 feet in vertical distance | from its original position. Under meath the arch was hole in the mud 15 feet deep and feet in diameter
 The outside bottom plating was dou-
 bled back upon itself. The conclusions of the court were that the loss of the Maine was not in any respect due ;o fault or negligence on the part of of ficers or crew; that the ship was de- stroyed by the explosion of sub
 marine mine underneath the port side.
 which caused the partial explosion of two of the forward magazines. and that no evidence had been obtainable fixing the responsibility upon any per son or persons.
 It was the verdict of this court of inquiry which settled the question of peace or war between the United States and Spain War was inevitable from the moment the American peo- pie decided that some enemy of this country had destroyed the ship
