REsoURcEFUL SPOKANE.

Spokane papers say that Spokane
apples are well advertised in the east
through the distribution made from
the Spokane apple show and that
Spokane vegetables growers should
seek markets in the surrounding
towns which consume almost as many
vegetables as the Spokane market.
Wonder where all these Spokane pro-
ducts are raised? Probably on Spo-
kane's roof gardens. Spokane is a
wonderful country. 1t grows lead
copper, gold and silver mines, timber,
coal and agricultural kinds, dairy
products, vegetables, hay, apples,
peaches, plumbs and pines, hogs, cat
tie and sheep, poultry, pigeons and
pugs, thieves, cutthroats and thugs
Yes, Spokane is a big country OF

Rocky mountains and on the south by
Mexico. We should be thankful thai

Kooskia Mountaineer: The people
Of Whitebird will petition the board
Of county commissioners asking that
no more saloon licenses be issued
for that town. They are Disguised
with the manner in which the sa-
looms are being conducted and if the
county board fails to comply with
the wishes of the respectable ele-
ment of that community it will be
the beginning of another agitation
for a local option election. And this
paper hopes it will never again be
called upon to take an active part
In a contest of this kind. If ma
jority of the people of community
do not want saloons they should not
be forced upon them; if they want
them let them have them. While
liquor is made, people are going to
drink it, and they are not particular
how or where they get it. To stop
the traffic it will be necessary to
find some other starting point. Clos
ing saloons here and there will never
do It.

WILSON GETS CHALLENGE.

Mountaineer: In a speech on the
floor OF the house the other day Rep
resentative Humphrey of Washing
ton challenged the administration
to make good on the threat intro
duced by Underwood during the tar
IF debates last summer and investi.
gate the closing down of 1874 single
mills and large number of saw
mills in Washington. He declared
that since the new tariff law went
into effect $4,000 men had been
thrown out of work in Washington
by the closing down of these plants.
He said it now devolves on the
administration to keep it's promise
to investigate any such closedowns
and apply the remedy, if the shut
down is due to the tariff, or carry
out the threat of president Wilson
to hang higher than Hannah" the
manufacturer who has needlessly de-
pressed business. Single mills so
far closing down, he said, represent
ed 60 per cent of such plants in
Washington.
Lumber mills employing the same
number of men, formerly cutting
three million feet a day, and pro
ducing 20 per cent of the states
lumber output, he said had quit. He
declared the tariff change was respon
Sihla for thic condition opd dafiad
the administration to disprove this
statement. He presented a complete
list of the mills closed, which he
said the secretary of commerce was
welcome to use in making an inves-
tigation.
