10 begin Its own extradition proceedings,
independent Of any action which may
be pending in the courts OF Cook Coun-
ty. Chicago.
The word Of the Greek courts ruling
yesterday prompted former Assistant
States Attorney Hampton to say that
apparently the Athens tribunal had
taken upon itself the right to say
whether the allegations against insult
were criminal in Greece.
The courts decision, likewise. led to
speculation as to what the elder In
sull's next move would be. At one point
in the Athens proceedings his counsel
said insult did not wish TO be carried
back to America as q prisoner, but
rather desired to establish his inno-
cence and then return voluntarily.

In Behalf Of Good Friendship.

SPOKANE movement looking to
the acceptance of Canadian money at
par thus salvaging the lucrative bust
ness that comes to Spokane and Inland
Empire merchants from our Canadian
visitors and tourists was launched by
the Publicity Tourist Bureau Of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce at its
meeting last Saturday.
Attention was called to the fact that
a group of so hotels operating in Puget
Sound and Western Oregon under the
name of the Associated Hotels, Incor-
porated, has recently decided to ac-
cept Canadian money on par with
American coin.
The Spokane Publicity Tourist
Bureau program contemplates that
stores, theaters, garages and other
agencies as well as hotels that cater to
the travelling public shall be included
in this program.
"A special committee has been ap-
pointed to study and survey the situa-
ton.
Tourist travel from Western Cam
adian provinces is vital to Spokane and
the Inland Empire" said Chairman
Toombes. Last year So per cent of the
total volume of travel through the
Spokane gateway came from Alberta
and British Columbia. This is destina-
ton travel. Spokane and this region is
the objective of these Canadian tourist
parties, many of which spend their en-
tire vacation visiting our city and the
scenic attractions of the surrounding
region. 1t is imperative that something
be done to retain this important bust
ness and | am hoping that the COM
mittee may suggest a practical plan
which our business interests will find
feasible and workable"

MONEY HIDDEN LIN
GROUND DETERIORATES
Buried One Hundred Dollar Bill Is
Worth Only $50.

Bonners Ferry Herald A hole in the
ground isn't exactly an ideal place to
deposit currency, according to j. H.
McNally, cashier of the First National
Bank, who was recently called upon
to send in $500 bill which had been
buried for several months. The bill
had shrunk to the size of a cigarette
paper, said MIR. McNally, and was SO
fragile that care had to be exercised in
handling it to prevent crumbling.
This particular bill had been bur
led last summer when the owner de-
cided to put it somewhere for safe
keeping He dug hole in his garden,
near a post for Identification, and left
the money unmolested until recently.
When dug up it bore but little resem-
blance to the bill that had been
planted"
Mr.. Mentally sent the bill to Wash
ington, D. c., to have it redeemed, and
this week received word that the treas
ury department would allow but half
the original value, or $50.
