basketball team OF the local high school
defeated the team from the Standpoint
high by score of Is to 16. The fret

honor of the visitors, and a social time
enjoyed by all that remained. Our boys
expect to 60 to Standpoint tomorrow. the

BILL AWAITS THIRD READING
Passed Second Reading by Vote
of 81 to 38
Conditions Favorable for Passage

After lengthy discussion as to the
apportionnent of representation for the
new county of Pend Oreille which the
state legislature is asked to create at
this session, the big counties were de-
feated by the small counties, who have
formed coalition known as the cow
counties, when the Pend Oreille divis-
ion bill passed the second reading by
vote of 81 to 38. The debate was one of
the hottest of the session and oratoricaE-
fireworks were quite the order of the
day.
The large counties had a scheme on
foot which would deprive all counties of
less than 10000 population of a repre-.
sentative which would leave about five
counties in the state without any repre-
sentative whatever and the trouble
started when Todd of Whitman tried
to amend the bill by striking out the
clause giving Pend Oreille county a rep
resentative.
After having been held by the rules
committee for week the bill has been
placed on the house calendar tor Friday,
but advices from Olympia are to the ef-
feet that the house is progressing very
slowly, and that the Pend Oreille county
bill may not be reached before Monday,
and perhaps not then, as the Legislature
may adjourn until next Tuesday before
the bill is reached.
Indications for passage of the bill are
quite favorable as the cow counties
have'formed a strong combination and
unless there is decided change of SEN
timent among some of the members
that have pledged themselves to sup
port the bill the east side has no cause
for worry. Although several members
of the Spokane delegation and others
who are expected to support the bill,
did vote in favor of the amendment
striking out the clause giving the new
county representative. it is understood
that they will give the bill their hearty
support when it comes to a final vote
and in all probability it will pass the
house at the third reading with still
larger majority than before.

Fire in Old Town

The FIRE company was called out at 8
O'Clock Wednesday morning in respo nse
to a call from Old Town. The building
formerly occupied by the Headquarters
Bar was found to be on fire, and had
gained such headway that it was deemed
useless to try to save 1t. The building
was occupied by two men and contained
only little rough furniture and few
personal effects of the men, which were
gotten out. The fire is supposed to have
started from defective hue or an over
heated stove. The building was owned
by Jacob Martin and ia total loss, as
no insurance was carried.

PANHANDLE BOND ISSUE SOLD
Fasteners Express Confidence in
the Inland Empire;
Will Attract More Eastern Capital

As evidence that more and more east
ern capital Is coming into this country,
and that eastern capitalists are confident
in the future of the Inland Empire can
be taken the fact that F. A. Blackwell, ,
president of the Idaho & Washington
Northern Railway Company, personally
foated q 81 600 900 bond issue for the
Panhandle Lumber Co. in Chicago one
day last week. Two firms underwrote
the issue and the money will probably
be used in extending the plant and get
ting it in shape for more extensive op-
erations.
Mr.. Blackwell returned to this section
Monday over the c., NJ. & P. s., accom-
panied by party of Pennsylvania capi-
talists and several Spokane bankers. A
special train over the l. & w. N passed
through Newport Tuesday evening car
rying the party to Metaline Falls, where
they will inspect the new plant of the
Inland Portland Cement Co. The party
was composed of II. c. Trexler, E. NJ.
Young Daniel Ritter and Roy NJ. Bear.
of Allentown, Pa. Barton Pardee, Lock
Haven, Pa: Irwin W. Gleeson, of Glee-
sontown, Pa. George Mosser, Noxon,
Pa, and J. E. Farris. Union Trust Co.,
r. Lewis Ritter. Spokane and Eastern
Trust Co.. Spokane, and Mr.. Blackwell.
Money conditions have been q little
tight in the east on account of the crop
failures in some of the middle western
states, but conditions are such now that
successful year is anticipated. This
deal, together with the 81 200, 900 bond
issue foated by Mr.. Black we'll in De-
cember for the Idaho & Washington
Northern. shows that eastern capital is
favorably impressed with the possibili
ties and the future of this section of the
Inland Empire, and will undoubtedly
investigate more of our resources before
long.

The situation in Birmingham becomes blue indeed. The fans are today wonder ine-eff we can't defeat Mobile, whom can we defeat?'
 The Gulls are not in striking distance of the class of the league It Is a very ordinary aggregation over which "pucky Holmes cracks the whip. But that same ordinary aggregation went through the bold Barons with ease so remarkable that the fans are just waking up to the pro clivity over which we hang.
 In this connection, simply as re- hinder we again state that of the hrst eight games of the long stay-at-home series. the Barons have won but one victory.
 Hyder Barr was out of the game again yesterday. As is remembered, Manager Molesworth gave him permission to run over to New Orleans from Mobile Sun day night for the purpose of getting his clothes together
 It was then expected that he would be out of one game. But no one dreamed that he would be gone two days The team needs every available man, every once of weight and every ounce of steam. It is lamentable, therefore, that one man who has done much to upholster the slipping horde of the bold Barons should have had so many clothes that more than them together.
 Nothing was heard from him yesterday, although there is every reason to believe that he will be in the game this after noon.
 The Barons. in addition to their stand ing in the race, have lost their spirit They move about the field like men from whom has flown the breath of life. Yes shoulder essayed to play right field, en- couraged the pitcher once or twice. and the sound of his voice, coming over a field held spellbound in silence. reverber- ated among the rafters of Redwood with the strength of a cyclone. The locals played yesterday as if they foresaw with a degree of certainty their defeat, and as If they knew that in spite of what they might do they would lose just the same.
 Now, on the coaching line. our old friend, 'Rowdy" Elliott, maintained a stiff argument with opponents. and 1t was good to hear his voice and realize that in the breast of one. at any rate, tho spirit of fight still remained
 We believe that if the Barons would open up one afternoon the opposing team would be surprised to the extent of fold ing up their bats and leaving the field.
 The team needs many things. With
