Plan to Avoid Grade
Separation Expense
by Using the Great
Northern Tracks.
A new FRE|GHTK0USE
Scheme to be in Oper-
alton Within Eight
Months, Men on the
"Inside" Say.

As a matter Of avoiding a
renewal of the heated con-
troversy over a satisfactory
grade separation, which is
certain to be forced upon it
again in the near future by
the residents and property
owners of Spokane, the
Northern Pacific will pass
through the city over the
right of way of the Great
Northern. Its present depot
will be abandoned.
Deathtraps to Go.
The Division street and
Sprague avenue intersection
with the tracks Of the North
ern Pacific, which with the
rapid growth of the city has
become a place of constant
danger, will be eliminated,
and every one of the cross
ings from east to west
Ahroughout the city, which
now are frequently blocked
to traffic will be unobstruct-
ed.
Such is the information coming
from influential business men and
owners of extensive property, who
are intimately associated with Off
cials of both the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific railroads.
Agitation for good grade separ
atiOn leaving every crossing of the
Northern Pacific in the city unob-
structed, cannot be STAYED Off much
longer. Officials of the Northern
Pacific and their legal advisors are
thoroughly aware of this, for capi-
tai has been reorganizing for sever
al months in preparation for re-
newal of the fight which was waged
with determination two years ago,
against the present crossings.
TO REMOVE FREIGHT HOUSE.
According to information, which
is declared to have come directly
from railroad officials, plans now
under way are for the removal of
the Northern Pacific freight house
from Division street and the estab-
lishment of a new one further east
up the yards.
One of the Northern Pacific's
greatest objections to the most fav-
ored plans for grade separation
was that it would be seriously in
convenienced in leaving Spokane
westward, because of the steep
grade between here and Cheney.
lem has been found in the plan to
use the Great Northern right-of-way
through Spokane and across Hang
man creek
ELIMINATE GRADE.
The laying of but two miles of
track from the west bank of Hang
man creek, is necessitated to reach
the Northern Pacific lines at a
point high enough to greatly nullify
this grade. 1t is surmised that a
portion of the new S. p. & s. road,
passing near the Greenwood GENE
terry, will be used by the Northern
Pacific in making it's way back to
its own lines, from the Great North
ern.

have faced for years. The scarcity
has almost reached the famine
stage. This is due to every big
manufacturer, railroad and steam
plant having failed to lay in a suf-
ficient supply. They discounted
the mildness of the three preceding
winters. Unexpected cold weather
has exhausted coal so rapidly that
not more than one fourth the nor
NAL supply Is ON hand.
Railroads have heretofore kept
storage supplies of from 100000 to
100000 tons of steam coal apiece
Their stocks are now depleted and
they are confiscating the supplies
shipped over their lines to other
big consumers. Western roads
have done this to greater extent
than the others. A desperate con-
dition faces the people in the towns

from a large trunk containing lot
OF fine leather and other articles,
among which was leather pocket

was found in the school yard and
all the leather and clothing was
still intact, but the roll OF currency
was gone. Thirteen dollars OF the
money was found by two boys near
where the trunk was found and
this was turned over to Marshall
Higgins.
Mr.. Tracy drew the money from
the bank short time ago, as
he "didnt want his money invested
in automobiles" and thought it
would be safer IN his trunk, but
alas "the plans of mice and men
oft gang aglee." The burglary was

his 16-year-old daughter, Belle Ke1-

He had threatened to kill his daugh-

the threats undoubtedly deferred the
girl from making complaint sooner.
Kellogg is a man about IS years of
age and is the father of six children,
three of whom are married. He has

GRAVES To- KEEP
Within REASON
A SPECIAL dispatch to tho Boz:

A SPECIAL dispatch to the Boise
Statesman says:
Henry S. Graves of Yale, who has
been chosen to succeed Clifford Pin
chot, is to be appointed solely and
specifically to run the forest service.
He is to be bureau officer in the de-
partment of agriculture, subject to
the superior authority of tho secretary
of agriculture, and his activities are
to be confined to his own office. He is
not made forester to carry forward
tho general conservation movement;
he is not selected to spend half his
time making public addresses, and it
is not expected of him that he shall
shape the policies for the admins
tration, or dictate the manner in
which the interior department and
general land Office are to be run. So,
in one sense, he is not the successor
in toto of Clifford Pinchot. He mere
.ly succeeds him as nominal and az
tual head of tho forest reserve.
Mr.. Graves has had full and COM
plete understanding with President
Taft as to what his duties will be,
and as to the manner in which the
forest service shall be conducted. In
the main, it will be run as heretofore,
though some changes long sought by
men of the west, and by Secretary
Wilson, may be inaugurated. West
ern men who have talked with the
president since the selection of Mr.
Graves was announced, feel assured
that they will now get respectful
hearing when they have complaints
to lodge, and they have reasons to
expect that the new forester will
recognize. that there is two sides to
every disputed question, and look at
both sides before rendering his de-
cision. This is about all they ask at
