Compliments Moscow on its Chamber
of Commerce and Predicts Great
x Prosperity in Store

sThe steady improvement of the city
is, according to w. P. Romans, travel
ing secretary of the Spokane Cham
Der of Commerce, evidence of the ex-
istence of live chamber of commerce
here. In speaking at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting today, Mr. Rom
ans remarked the frequency with
which he heard elsewhere in the In
land Empire favorable comments on
the activities of the local organization
In going about from place to place,
the speaker said, he finds evidence of
the increasing prosperity of the Pa
louse farmers, and growing interest
in diversified farming and rotation
of crops. The growing of corn on
summer fallow land is proving prof
liable in the feeding of dairy and beef
stock.
Speaking of the inquiries made re-
Gently among the heads of great trans
portation companies by H. c. Samp-
son, Mr. Romans said that in their
opinion the effect of the opening of
the Panama canal will eventually be
to make the Pacific slope the center
of the industrial activities of Amer
ica, having as it does great natural
advantages in the way of raw mater
ials, power, and agricultural wealth.
Increase in population must come
first, and it is believed that the gen
sral prosperity east of the Rockies
will offer many the opportunity they
seek of selling without sacrifice and
coming west next season. A meeting

Instructions
BY the United Press Associations
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Republicans
today refused to endorse Elihu Root
for the presidential nomination. Res
olutions of the state convention com-
mittee reported unfavorably by a
vote of thirty-six to eight.
The committee also refused to en-
dorse Governor Whitman of New
York, but it is possible that an en-
dorsement may be made separately.
Roots supporters are said to have
sought to enforce his endorsement,
but it is reported Root did not approve
of this method.
Chauncey Depew lauded Elihu Root
before the convention today as Amer
ica's greatest statesman. The refusal
of the committee to endorse Whit
man is construed as victory for
Barnes.
Nicholas Murray Butler when inter-
viewed today stated, The committee
discussed the wisdom of commencing
Root as the most fit candidate. Roots
fitness was completely agreed upon,
but differences OF opinion existed re-
garding the wisdom of pressing the
resolution" It is generally believed that
this development puts a quietus on the
Root presidential boom.
