HOW SPOKANE

l had been in Spokane for about a
month. One man at the door shook
hands with me, and a couple of
others did the same on gong out.
but their manner of welcome i'm
pressed me as exceedingly perfume
tory. | hardly had a dozen words
spoken to me during the hour and
half that | was these, and no one
asked me to be sure and come back
the next lodge night.
Il belong to another fraternal or
der and visited that a few DAYS
later. They welcomed me with sew
eral glad hands, but they didn't
seem to take any real interest in
me. They asked me to return some
time, but didn't seem to care a con-
tinental whether ] ever did or not"
There are IA glad-handers at the
Y. NJ. c. A. who are ever on the
lookout to welcome fasteners,
westerners, southerners or foreign.
ers-they're always glad to see a
stranger, and General Secretary G..
A. Forbes says man can't be so
down and out that he will be
turned away, as long as he is sober
and wants to be straight.
The churches are where a person
would naturally expect a most cor
dial reception and young men from
the east and coast cities generally
agree that as long as a fellow-or
gorl, for that matter-isnt bash
full, that they can soon get ac-
quainted. The Epworth leagues
and Christian Endeavor societies
of the Spokane churches all have
lookout and reception committees,
who look after strangers. But no
matter how many reception COM
mittees are in the city stranger
must have a little nerve OF his-or
her own and take the initiative.
Girls will always be able to get
welcome at the Y. w. c. A. in
their rooms in the Auditorium
building" says Miss Natalie Soules,
who is n charge of the work there
during the absence of Miss Elsie
Whiting. The social life of the
young people is fostered here, and
members of both the Y. M. c. A.
and Y. w. C. A. have been suggest
ing recently that the two organiza-
tons "get together" some time
soon and arrange for joint juno
tons. It's pretty lonely for some
of the girls who are away from
home for the first time, and who
miss the associations of the domes-
tic hearth. Also the boys who do
not care to spend their leisure in
the saloon, or pool room, wish there
could be some organized fashion in
which they could get acquainted
with congenial companions of the
opposite sex.

B. F. Bigger of Biggers, one of
the vice-presidents of the Arkansas
Land Congress is in receipt of the
following letter from S. A. Hughes
general immigration agent for the
Frisco railway system. The letter
follows:
"Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of a
number of copies of initial litera-
tnre issued by the Arkansas Land
Congress, at the hands of Judge E.
r. Ratteree, which, as understood,
is but the beginning of campaign
of advertising the great state of
Arkansas.
1t is needless to say that your
people have heard the call Of "Blck
to the Land" and have responded in
the proper manner. Your organi.
zation, in my opinion, is built
along proper lines is backed by the
best people of the state. Ii has
been my pleasure to attend two of
the meetings, called for the purpose
of perfecting the organization of
this Land Congress and, from what
] have observed, l am quite sure
that the efforts of the people in
this movement will be productive
and of great success.
We want to cooperate in any
manner consistent in the upbuilding
of your state and | trust it may be
be my good fortune to attend your
delegation of Vice Presidents in
their future deliberations.

WHERE is THE
SANITARY COMMITTED
One Was Appointed by the Town
Council at Meeting Held
June 3rd

At the first meeting of the new
council, held on May 3rd, If we
mistake not, there was appointed a
sanitary committee, with one of
our prominent citizens, who was
not member of the council as
chairman. 1t was predicted by this
paper after the appointment was
made that there would be some
thing doing III Pocahontas regard
ing the cleaning up of the town and
also the back yards and alleys of
the town. Personally we know of
one back yard that was cleaned up
at the instance of the chairman of
that committee. Why not have
the rest of the back yards cleaned
up? 1t would not hurt the town
any to have the tin cans and rubbish
removed from a number of the
alleys of the town. Warm weather
may soon set in and to put the
town in a healthy condition why
would it not be a good idea to give
all the alleys, back yards and streets
thorough cleaning?
