pany were approached and
interested in the advantages
Of Othello, as being the ideal
location for their huge
works. A trip to the city it.
self caused them to decide in
it's favor, and a deal was
made whereby the R. S. King
Company, an investment
house closely associated with
the American Slate Products
Company, bought outright
the city Of Othello, from the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Railroad.
A part Of the deal, which
caused a great deal Of dis
cussion in financial circles, a
few weeks ago, was the
agreement of the Slate Prod
ucts Company to locate its
plant at Othello, and the r.
S. King Company gave the
railroad company it's bond,
with heavy sureties, guaran-
teeing that the plant would
be built.
True to the promises Of its
hackers in every way, con
struction work upon the
great slate products plant is

RAILROADS PLAN BIG
THINGS

Recently an announcement
was made by President Ear
ling, of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & Puget Sound Railroad,
that a line would be built
north and south from Othello
at once. In an interview in
the Seattle Post-Intelligen-"
Ger, President Earling said:
Upon the completion of
surveys now under way, we
will build a line both north
and south from Othello, to
reach the wheat fields that
are already yielding and dis
tricts that will be developed
with transportation facili-
ties, etc.,
With the completion of
this north and south line of
railroad Othello will be at
| the crossroads of the great
railroad highways of the In
land Empire. It's position as
a wholesale point and as a
commercial, manufacturing
and shipping center, will,
without question, make it
one of the great cities of the
State Of Washington.

Gus crossroads of two rich
valleys, extending east and

The valleys, though in a

Then came the great event
in the career Of the prosper
Gus Young city. The Ameri-
can Slate Products Company
was organized by Seattle and
eastern capitalists, to manu-
facture slate products under
a German patent, to which
the syndicate holds all the
American rights. The ma
terials manufactured are
widely used and have taken
tie place Of slate, cement and
marble in a large degree in
Europe. The factories for
making the products are nee

GREAT IN OPPORTUNI-
TIES.

Picturesque, indeed, is
Othello. Its rise from the
first settlement to the estate
of a great city will be, in all
probability, the last of the
great processes of city-build-
ing, from the beginning, the
west will witness. Spokane
can never live over again the
days when those who owned
a city lot or two, purchased
for practically nothing, be-
came millionaires in a few
months, through their hold
ings. Portland and San
Francisco and Seattle are big
cities now. They can no
longer give to the pioneer
who buys a lot or two in the
center of the townsite, a life
of luxury in return for his
far-sightedness, for the very
good reason that none but a
millionaire can now buy the
lot in the townsite. 1t is in
her opportunities that Othel-
10 is great.

IN accordance with the Hoey bill Com
missioner Edwards of the Department OF

men under him vacations of two weeks
this summer. Mr. Edwards was told by
the Mayor that he could use his Judgment

While it will hamper the outside Work

missioner Edwards yesterday. L believe
II is better that men who have given hard,
conscientious work should get two weeks
rest No extra appropriation is available
to fiji the places of men on vacations.
Should such an appropriation be asked for
it would take $4,000 revenue bonds. This
involves vacations for 300 sweepers and
100 drivers, besides hostlers. stablemen,
boerdmen. scowrnen and others. Mechanics
ard mechanics helpers also receive two
weeks.
All the officers of the uniformed force
will receive twenty days vacation as

Reports of Movement at Buenos
Ayres Discredited
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, July THE American dele
cation TO the Pan American conference
which is to open at Buenos AyTes on July
g. arrived at their destination to-day, &C
cordins to the itinerary arranged by the
State Department. The members received
their Instructions from Secretary Knox be-
fore their departure from Washington and
are prepared to take UP several important
questions a the forthcoming session.
Despite the rumors circulated in the last
few days, it is not expected that there
will be move on the part of any delega-
United States. If such a move is Contem-
plated it has escaped the scrutiny of the
State Department. All TumOrs. so far,
have been traced to the campaign under
taken by Dr. Madriz Of Nicaragua to en-
courage demonstrations against the United
States, and the reports have made their
first appearance in papers controlled by the
Madriz faction or suspected Of having been
subsidized to that end. Any attempt 70
stir up ''anti-Yankee'' feeling will be sup
that it will conflict with the programme
already adopted. If for no other. In the
conference at Rio the Colombian delega-
ton distributed leaflets attacking the
United States, but they were promptly
gathered In the conference room and
burned It Is NOT likely that there will be
a repetition OF this incident.

Reports Of Deplorable Labor Condi
tions Found Baseless.
[Ernr1 The Tribune Rurea1,


Washington. July THE great hubbuh
raised by Samuel Gompers over the alleged
deplorabIe condition of 1aborers in Hawaii
has been proved practically groundess by
inspectors of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor. In a letter to the department
Mr.. Gompers charged that a great lack of
work, lack of proper wages. and even
peonage, existed in many portions of the
island. Secretary NageI Immediately or
dered an investigation of the charges and
has Just received a full report from his
chief inspector in Hawaii.
1t is found that there are comparatively
few men unemployed, and the reason all
are not active is that many Of the unem-
plOyed are not able 10 do the work re-
Qutred of them. The fault lies with the
immigrant inspectors in the island It ap-
pears that thew have allowed aliens 10 en-
ter the country who should have been ex-
Guided because of the probability that they
would become public charges. Secretary
Nagel has instructed the Hawaiian Iu1ni-
grafton Board to carry out the law TO the
letter and TO deport those immigrants who
at the time of their arrival appeared like
" 10 become public charges. The expense
OF this deportation Will fall on the terri
