HNLLyARD
PETITIONS
Will be Started for Wash

Better Mail Service.
SIGNED BY OVER 600
Agitation Has Served to Stir
Up Much Interest in
the Town.
SIGNED BY OVER 600

Three petitions, each almost
block long, will be forwarded by the
enterprising citizens Of HilIyard to
the postmaster general, Senator W.
L. Jones and Congressman Poindex-
ter tomorrow, asking that HiIlyard
be made an independent station of
the Spokane postoffice. The petit
tions contain between 600 and 700
names each, and have been so gen.
orally signed that the opposition
has, literally speaking, been wiped
. off the map"
The establishment of the propos-
ed change will give Hillyard free
delivery and will also make it the
center for the delivery system of a
goodly section of the northeast part
of Spokane. Two years ago, when
the matter was up before, a few
Hillyard merchants and the local
weekly paper opposed it for selfish
reasons. but this time they were
not left corporal's guard to carry
on the fight in opposition to the i'm
proved mail service.
1t is charged that the people of
Hillyard have been muzzled in the
past and that no one dares assert
his rights. With the coming of a
lot of new population this feeling
has changed, and the desire to have
Hillyard get up and be counted in
the race of progress is manifest. In
the old days in Hillyard all that
was necessary to stampede any
movement for the betterment of the
town was to say that the Hill inter
ests were opposed to it and might
move their shops, and the advo-
Gates of progress were silenced.
Now it is learned that the Hill
people want the town to grow and
go ahead, the same as others, and
this cry as weapon to retard
progress has been lost to the
knockers.
AS a reslt of the spirit of ad-
vancement the town has doubled
it's population in two years. has
graded and laid cement walks on
severy, street in the city, and ac-
-luired~ its own water plant.

Miller testifies that he has
never seen the man before, and

AtikOkan Ore

R. H. Flatherty of Port Arthur,
who was at Duluth yesterday says
that the Atikokan Iron company of
that city is turning out good No. l
and No. 2 foundry pig from straight
Atikokan ores. Heretofore it has
been considered necessary to use
the Atikokan ores conjunction with
other iron ores to get desirable
results.
Time was when it was thought
that only a certain per cent of
Mesaba ores could be used in the
furnaces, but that is theory long
since exploded. w. A. Barrows,
Jr., of Pittsburg, formerly of Du-
luth, was one of the pioneers in
charging furnaces with 100 per
cent Mesaba ore. 1t appears that
a somewhat similar theory has been
exploded as regards Atikokan.

REAPPoRTIoNMENT will be one
of the big questions taken up by
northern Minnesota workers at the
coming development congress III
Bemidii, Feb. II and IS. This
gathering will be political as well
as for business, and the demand for
representation in the legislature is
growing so strong that it will pro-
baby be voiced in strong resolu-
tions at Bemidji.
The federal census soon to be
taken will emphasize the great
inquality of districts as now con-
stituted. The population figures
will be ready by the time the next
legislature is prepared to attack the
subject. The fight will be a hard
one, however, because the entire
senate is elected this fall for four
years, and the senators will be I'M
willing to legislate themselves out
of Office, just as they were in 1907.
The southern districts which have
so mnch the best of it in senate
representation will oppose the
change. They will admit the
necessity of some new basis, but
will oppose any bill that cuts down
their own membership.
If the northern districts expect
to accomplish anything, their only
hope is to pledge every man elected
to the legislature to fight for reap
portionment first and not filter
away votes and energies on local
and personal schemes. -Minnea-
