What Railroad Strike Would Mean.

A strike on the 81 railroads of the
central west would mean:
Thirty-two thousand trainmen leav-
ing their posts.
Tying up of about 1850 miles of
track, or SO per cent of the total rail
road mileage of the United States.
The loss in salaries to the trainmen
would be about $144,O00 per day, the
present average wage being $3.50.
An inestimable loss to the railroads
of thousands of holiday travellers and
freight.
The general paralysis of business
through the central west, through ship
ping facilities being crippled.

"They are beginning to realize that
their inaction perhaps has been more

sECY. BALLINGER IS LENIENT
Secretary Grants Leaves to Home
steaders Because of Shortage
of Crops

Attention of Secretary Ballinger has
been called to conditions in certain
western states where, owing to the dry
season, it has been impossible for home
stead settlers to raise crops during the
past year. Several hundred applica-
tions for leave have been received in
the interior department as result of
these climatic conditions and the
secretary has instructed the commits
sioner of the land Office to grant these
applications whenever possible. 1t is
one of the prerequisites that settler
shall have established residence upon
land, but where this is done and it is
evident that owing to failure of crops
settler cannot make a living and is
obliged to leave in order to earn money
Ballinger has directed the commissioner
to act with favor upon the application.

Port Limon, Costa Rica, Dec. 2O.-A
message from Salvador reached here
announcing the sinking of small island
in the Ilopango lagoon, southeast of the
city of San Salvador, following an
earthquake shock. 1t is asserted, though
persons were killed.
The sinking of the island is said to
have followed a series of shocks which
were felt throughout the republic. The
tremblors began early in the evening
and increased in frequency and vio-
lence as night progressed until about
midnight, when the watchers on the

Soon after that great bonfres were
lighted on the island and at about l

survivors reported that other boats were
coming, as the island was slowly sink

The boatmen of the mainland were

continued shocks and the steadily in

MANY GO TO CALIFORNIA.
on the
BIG EXCURSION JANUARY 9TH

Think of an elegant train of up-to-
date Pullman sleepers, diners, observa-
ton cars, ETC., a comfortable and happy
delegation of from 1875 to IT'S people
from the Inland Empire ready to take
advantage of the many opportunities
offered for their pleasure and conven-
fence, and you have a picture of the
Fourth Annual Los Angeles Excursion
which will leave the o. R. & N. depot at
Spokane 8 p. m, January 9th.
A feature of these excursions, and
one which adds not littls to the sue
cess of same is that everyone purchas-
ing ticket is entitled to a separate
berth, thus a man and wife have a
section, both upper and lower, to them
selves.
A special baggage-man will be in
charge of the baggage car and excur-
sionists have access to their trunks at
any time en- route or where stops are
made.
Daylight stops are arranged at Grants
Pass, Medford and Ashland, also at
Shasta Springs, Cal, at San Francisco,
Palo Alto, San Jose, Del Monte, Paso
Robes, Santa Barbara, and best of all
is the Redlands trip from Los Angeles,
known as the "Inside Track Trips" 70
miles through the orange groves of Red
lands and Riverside, including tour to
Smiley Heights and luncheon at Glen
wood Mission Inn hotel, Riverside.
The entire satisfaction and praise ex
pressed by those participating in the
past three excursions insures the sue
cess, pleasure and convenience of those
expecting to make the trip this year.
An attractive booklet fully describing
the trip in detail can be had by writing
A. MacCerquodale, COL Sprague Ave.
Spokane.
Only limited number will be booked
by the railroad company in order to in
sure comfort and convenience both il
sleepers and diners. Nearly 100 peopl,
already have reserved berths and thos'
interested should take the matter NJ
at once in order to secure good selec
tion of berth.

RESULT OF CHICAGO SHOW.
Our Apple Display Opened Their
Eyes.

Perhaps the laost significant result
of the National Apple show in Chicago,
recently, is the widespread attention
directed to the commercial orchard dis
tricts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Montana and British Columbia. The
daily newspapers and class publications
in Chicago were liberal in devoting
space to the enter prise. The fact that
the exhibitors were literally besieged
from morning until night by eager in
quirers, seeking knowledge at first hand
of the various districts in the four
states and province, may be taken as
an indication that many will cast their
lot in the western country.
