MINING LUCK MADE SPOKANE
Statement That Washington's Inland
City Happened" by a Stroke
Of Chance.

at was an accident that the city
of Spokane, Wash, became a great
center of population and industry
an accident due to mining" recently
remarked Henry Hapgood, a mer-
chant of that thriving coast state, the
Washington Post remarks. "When
the Northern Pacific railway reached
through to the coast, back in 1888,
Spokane was struggling village of
a few hundred people, who had seri-
GUS doubts whether Sprague or Cho-
ney Spokane Falls would eventually
be the center of commerce for that
section. Then Old Man Pritchard
made a strike, discovering placer
gold up near Murray in the Occur
d'Alene. The East was just ripe for
a mining boom and the Northern Pa
cific was ready to assist any such en-
terprise. There was a rush TO Thomp-
son falls over the mountain to Muir
ray, and that country saw the first
real activity in is history.
''The trail over Thompson pass
was a bad one, and there was need of
a nearer supply point. Spokane
seized the opportunity by going after
the trade by way of Occur d'Alene
lake. That move centered the COM
mercial activities of the inland en-
pire in Spokane"

Rev. F. w. Harvey delivered a

Although the weather was in

outset that the lectures would
be free, at the conclusion of the
last one, some of his friends,
without any intimation from him
and without consulting him, pro
posed a collection and hand
some sum was raised for his
benefit.
We have paid fifty cents ad-
mission for lectures not so in
structive and not more enter
tanning than this series. We
believe they would be beneficial
in any community where deliver
ed. The last two of the series
on Man and Home and the JOYS

tally pregnant with beautiful and
ennobling thoughts, but all of
them were replete with elevating

This route through western
Arkansas will pass through a

TALKS TO LOCAL
TRUCK GROWERS
BEkT JOHNSON OF HIGH
LAND
MADE ADDRESS YESTERDAY
Spea Aer Says Soil Around
Washington Is Ideal
For Truck.

M Bert johnson of High
land addressed the truck grow.
ers association at the school
auditorium in this city yesterday
afternoon on the culture and
marketing of cantaloupes andOth-
er truck. His talk was directed
to the cantaloup business in par
ticular. A good representation
of farmers were present.
To begin with, Mr.. johnson said
the lands near Washington were
as fine for producing truck, es-
pecialiY cantaloupes, as could be
found anywhere, and that if the
business is conducted in the right
way, there is no question about
it paying, and paying well. He
says it is important to have eX-
perts attend to the packing, and
also that sufficient quantities be
grown to enable shipping III car
load lots; that the larger quanti-
ties grown the easier to get buy
ers. Mr.. Johnson went into the
business in detail, from the Sc
lection of seed to the marketing
of the CROP, telling the llino and
quantity of fertilizer TO use, when
f to apply it and how to work the
crop He also said that radishes
on this land would be a paying
crop, but advised the trial of only
one crop at the st'e until the
grower had gaineoIhenecessary
experience, and he thought can
taioupes would be the best crop
to start on. AS an example of
what could be done, he pointed to
- success of the people in the
neighborhoed of Blevins and all
along the line of the p. q n. w.
railroad
Mr.. Johnson promised to re
turn in about two weeks and MAXI
another talk to the truck grow
ers and help them with the or
ganization. Meanwhile the asso-
citation is to determine the acre
age to be planted Mr.. Johnson
suggested that not less than $50
acres be planted and said that
200 acres would be better.
AfH ir. johnson had finished
speaking, j. A. PreSson, county
demonStrator, made a short talk
on boy S corn clubs and other farm
demonstration work. Mr.. Pres
son did not have time TO 90 into
detail. but said he would return
later. IN the meantime any boy
who wants to enter the corn club
contest can write him at Hope and
get the necessary instructions
and blanks to be filled out

HIGHWAY MEETING
IS POSTPONED
ON ACCOUNT OF KANSAS
CITY MEETING.
TO Be HELD AT LATER DATE
Kansas City Meeting To De-
termine Whether Arkansas
or Okla. Gets Road.

The meeting of the Jefferson
Highway association set for Feb
ruary 3rd at Hope was called off
on account of a meeting at Kan
Nas City in which it will be de-
tdBsGped which route will be
taket2by the Highway, the Ark
ansas or Oklahoma. If Arkan-
sas gets the road, then the route
as outlined heretofore will be
taken up with the Highway As
sociation, This will be a great
thing for Arkansas, and every
possible effort should be made to
secure ,the road; the route
through Arkansas is the most
direct to New Orleans, and runs
within a short distance of Hot
Springs, know the world over,
and which every one travelling
south would want to visit. Peo
pie who use the Jefferson High
way, except those who use it for
business purposes will all want
to see the points of greatest in
trest, and other things being
equal it should follow a route
that will touch at the most his
toric points, otherwise it would
be of less value to tourists, and
will receive less encouraging for
the sources that would likely
make il a success.
People who come from the
north on business will as a mat
ter of course use the railroads,
ard the Highway will be of no
value to them, one way or the
other, unless they expect to To-
cate later on, in that event, they
would likely want to be in touch
with such a road as this will be.
But it is those who travel in
automobiles who have started

nection with those who live along
and in touch with the road. The
local travel and tratic will receive
the greatest benefit, and it is the
