Manahan made public tonight the

This, Manahan claims, proves
that there is a combination among
the Adams, American, Wells Fargo
and United States express compan.
les to keep tariff charges at the
highest level; that the express,
steel and Standard Oil interests
merge their Hobbies to control state
legislatures; that the minority

COMPETITION DOES NOT EXIST
Attorney Manahan said:
II am convinced that competi.
ton between the express compan-
les named does not exist; that the
active organizations of these va
rious companies are controlled by
one group of men and interests.
Why have the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT companies disObeyed the
order of the commission to produce
in court the list of names of stock

Again, Attorney A. B. Boardman,
representing the United States Elk
press Co., in hearing on Novem-
Der II, 1907, before the New York
public service commission of the
Second district, frankly admitted
that arrangements existed between
the express companies and that
competition was both Improbable

GREAT
C0L0N|ST
TRAVEL
Railroads Look for Crowd
Larger Than Record
Breaker of 1907.

One way colonists' rates will be-
come operative from the central
states to the Spokane country
March 1, and continue until April
Is. Railroad men say that they
look for the largest travel Of this
character in the history Of the
northwest, as the low fares are ex-
pected to bring thousands into the
Inland Empire for permanent
homes, who saw the country during
! the fair last year or came to SpO-
kane to attend the land opening.
Another large factor in the big
movement expected will be the
coming of the thousands who drew
claims in the Flathead, the Occur
d'Alenes or the Spokane Indian
reservations.
, Real estate men are placing great
store by the flood of newcomers ex-
pected in the colonist travel. The
people who come to the northwest
this spring are those who have seen
the country and are contented to
pitch their lot in it for perma-
nent home. AS rule they will
have disposed of their eastern hold
ings and the majority Of these set
/ tiers will come with sufficient cash
to buy a farm or home site in a
city or town.
The fares offered by the Northern
Pacific, which are identical with
those of other roads, are $25 from
st. Paul or Minneapolis, $3S from
Chicago and $3.50 from st. Louis.
The fares will be effective daily
between the selling dates. In the
matter of colonist travel the rush
of the fall of 1907 thus far holds
the record but the business expect
ed this spring is looked for to sur
pass even this high mark.

WOOD PRICES
DUE To DROP
Large Stocks on Hand and
Prices Are Very High.

Spokane fuel men have been
caught on the eve of spring with
the largest stocks Of wood they
have had in months. Should the
grounding fail to make good on his
prediction of six weeks of bad
weather some of the wood dealers
who bought on high market are
going to lose a little money.
The price of wood has been un-
usually high this winter, pine going
to $2.75 per rick and fir and tam
arack SO. There already has been
.25 cents knocked off these figures
and a further decline is expected.
The standard grades of coal are
selling at 50 per ton.

The first real meeting of the High
School Literary Society was held in the
Assembly Room last Friday afternoon.
1t was not only interesting and enter
tanning but highly instructive as well.
The first twenty minutes was devoted
to Parliamentary Practice. 1t was
distinctly shown that there is much
hidden ability by the way and eager
ness with which the students wished to
get INTO the fray but they lacked ini-
tiative, form, method and procedure.
Many defects can be overcome by just
such practice as this. The first three
Articles of the Society's Constitution,
i. e., the Name, Object, and Member
ship were drawn, discussed and voted
upon. These will be given in later
issue.
After some suggestions on the part
of the High School force the acting
President announced the names of
those placed upon the Regular and Sc
lect Committees also the subject of the
next debate and the debators.
Resolved That the Inventor benefits
mankind more than the Reformer."
Owing to the fact that school will close
on Friday, the regular meeting will be
held Thursday, Feb. "a.
Now came the debate as announced:
Resolved, THAT Woman should have
an equal right with man to vote"
Hazel Russell, John Dickinson and C.
Carter supported the affirmative, while
Emma Carney, Edw. Reavy and Dana
Richardson upheld the negative.
The Judges decided in favor of the
affirmative. Space this week is too
brief to mention individual merit but
Johns quaint humor, Claude's solemn
demeanor as well as Hszel's pleasing
personality apparently captivated the
jury.
On thought and organization Edw.
clearly outclassed any of the debators.
Dana's logic could not be questioned as
we'll as the cadence submitted. Emma
Carney, keen and alert, was quick to
