BY BOARD OF TRADE-ISO-

The Wallace board of trade is no
favorable to the proposed new stat,
formed OF northern Idaho and eastern
Washington and is not disposed Il
take seriously the movement started
by Standpoint with the cooperation Of
Spokane This was very evident al
the meeting last Monday following
the announcement by President Mac
key that he received a request by
telephone from e. D. Farmin, Of Sand
point requesting favorable action on
the proposition by the board of trade.
The new state scheme is an old one.
and its revival at this time by Sand
point was apparently regarded with
amusement by the membership. DR..
Quigley moved that the proposition
be tabled To this IT, j. Rossi object
ed stating that he thought as a mat
ter of courtesy to Standpoint a com
mttee should be appointed He made
it clear. however that he was not
favorable to any such combination
with Spokane and eastern Washing
ton and that north Idaho would fare
better within the present state lines
than she would in the proposed new
state. But as a matter of courtesy to
Standpoint he moved the appointment
of a committee of three TO represent
the board of trade, the president to
be one Of that committee Objection
was made TO the appointment Of
committee without instructions as 10

officers of the board together with a |
committee of six were authorized to |

The committee did not find it desir-
able, but decided to refer the matter
back to the board of trade for deci-
sion. President Maclev stated that

ubstantially with Mr. Mackey Al
