I believe that It shall be impossible such a publication without tuition of a board of trade. American trade loose too much by cause this fault. Germain good are sold like better and cheapest of world, when I have had occasion of verifying that is not truly even considering freight and custom houses. "I am a active prof, journalist with special predilestlon for studies of polite economic. If I had whom advocate my wishes befoje The Board of Trade of New York it would be possible that I get a good position that I can not get In a backward na tion. Be kind to consider rny idea and write me your opinion or prupos al. I knew a Spanish magazine pub lished In New York for advertising American trade in the countries where they speak this language. "I have practice to write and tran late the Euglish as the French but 1 bave no practice to speak English. It shall be necessary to receive all or ders, mandates or indications by writing at the beginning. I am 20 years of age and they say that I am diligent, intelligent, honest and tal entous. In any case please send me your plan and booklet." It is now only a short time before the Spokane Interstate Fair opens. The dates this year are October 5 to 13.

The rail roads will give a rate of a fare and one-third, good every day of the ex position.

GRAND OPENING A SUCCESS. Large Crowd Present—G-ood Time Enjoyed By All—Governor and Mrs. Morrison Present. \ The grand opening of the new fra merits, consisting of John W. Peters, The grand opening of the new fra ternal hall, Monday, is an event which will fill one of the proudest pages in the history of Rathdrum, an event which reflects glory upon our citizens and credit upon the brother hood of man. Despite the threaten ing weather, no rain came to mar the successful culmination of the efforts of those who bad the matter in hand. A large crowd began to arrive early in the day. Everybody did their best to make the stay of tbe visitors a pleas ant one, while by a happy accident, tbe governor and Mrs. Morrison were present to lend grace to the occasion, Heeding the governor's labor day proclamation all the stores In town closed their doors for the afternoon. Owing to the condition of the grounds in consequence of the heavy rains of the previous night, only one baseball game was played. It was attended by the eornèt band and wit nessed by over 200 persons. The grand stand was filled and a consider able throng stood strung out in a line along the front of the diamond. The contesting nines were tbe Rathdrum team, flushed with a recent victory, and the Oxfords of Spokane, no less confident of success. The game com menced at 2:30 in the afternoon, the visitors having the first chance at the hat. Both teams were earnest in their efforts to furnish the amusement which the crowd paid for, and the game was a fairly interesting one. The batteries were good. Rathdrum was unfortunate in starting off with an umpire who bad apparently never seen a hall game. After putting a man out on third base by a decision which astonished everybody, includ ing both nines, ho was put out as wholly incompetent, and J. C. Calla han was prevailed upon to supply the deficiency. For the first three inn ings the game was in favor of the visitors. The Rathdrum lads saved the day in the fourth inning, and al though in tbe five succeeding innings the Spokane aggregation made one talley toward restoring the equllbri um of the score, the game closed at 4:30 in the first half of the 9lb, 11 to 7 in favor of the home team. Fol lowing is the score by Innings: Ionings—1 23456789 Oxfords—0 2 0 1 0 3 0 1 0—7 Rathdrum—0 1 0 7 2 1 0 0 —11 8 a The batteries were: Rathdrum, Le lond and Flemming, pitchers, and Judge, eatcher; Oxford, Rush and Veiy. The ball game was the extent of the day's field sports, and for three hours things were quiescent., the visitors busying themselves in seeing the sights, and the committees com pleting the last arrangements at the hall, including placing upon ihe litc his excellency, the rary program, governor, who happened to be In Rathdrum that day, on his vacation in northern Idaho. The crowd began to arrive at tbe ball, sometime before 7 o'clock, and in less than an hour the spacious room was packed to the doors, with all tbe available standing room occu pied. The Jellurn Orchestra, ot sev en pieces, was placed Just in front of the rostrum, on which, behind the doors at either end, the speakers and entertainers were, withdrawn from Tbe committee on arraDge vieW merits, consisting of John W. Peters, George Poler and John S. Woolery, were Indefatigable in their exertions to make everyone comfortable. Gov ernor and Mrs. John T. Morrison were escorted from the hotel and shown to seats behind the curtain at 8 o'clock, when the rendering of the literary program was commenced. The first number was a selection by the orchestra. Rôtit. S. McCrea was chairman and announced a Song by a gentlemen's quartet, which was well received. John C. Callahan, was then an nounced, and made an address, which was one of congratulation upon the erection and completion of the noble structure whose opening they were now formally accomplishing. In elo quent language, the speaker related the efforts which had been made since tbe first breaking of ground on June 19th, and how eminently successful those efforts had been. He congrat ulated the various fraternal organiza tions, the ladies' ordfefli and the G. A. R. fer their hearty co-operation in the good work of providing this mag nificent home for the promotion of the brotherhood of mankind. The address was applauded. The next number was a solo, by Miss Stella Whitney. Then came a ladies' quartet, Mrs. Robt. Dyer, the Misses Kate and Anna Lavin and Miss Freda Faulconer. This song was greeted with such applause that it was encored. Mr. McCrea tfcen introduced Gov. Morrison, The governor spoke for about ten minutas. He expressed his pleasure to meet so many of bis fellow citizens, and, although he was on a vacation and entirely unprepared to make a speech, he felt thankful for the opportunity, wholly unexpected though it was, of taking part in the grand opening. He spoke eloquently of the good of fraternal ism, its effica cy in bringing man closer to man and helping men to understand themsel ves. ne spoke also of Labor Day. Although it is not a legal holiday, said he, it should be, and he hoped for the time when it would be made such by statute, thus further exac ting the dignity of labor. The gov ernor also took occasion to praise tbe scenery of lakes, valleys and moun tains of thl6 part of Idaho, which he described as superbly grand. Thank ing his audience, tbe governor return ed back of tbe curtain, amid loud and prolonged applause. A solo, by Miss Beulah Klopf, was followed by a cornet solo, and a mixed quartet. Then came a song by Mr. Ellsworth Howard, a comical negro character in picturesque and motley garb. His performance was encored. A lively jig to music was a star per formance, by another grotesquely at tired individual. A song by a quartet composed of G. R. Klopf, E. A. Walker, Ellsworth Wood and W. T. Wood was encored. Henry Sbomer then played some very excellent music on tin cans and two sticks of curdwood, which be took care to inform his audience, came from Ramsey. His performance was rare and was fully appreciated. Mr. Callahan then announced the grand ball and the banquet, and the liter ary program was closed by a selection by tbe orchestra. The floor was then ' cleared for the biggest, grandest, must etijoyable dance ever attended in Rathdrum. meoced at 9;30 o'clock and lasted un til 4 o'clock a. m.

The magnificent hall appeared inadquate for the vast throng which waltzed and marched to the splendid music provided. The banquet was served from 11 p m. to 3 a. m. It was undoubtedly the flnest feast ever spread In Rath drum. The long tables extending the entire length of the banquet room were covered with snow white covers, and loaded with all the delicacies of the garden, the farm and the orchard and beautified with boquets of lovely flowers. Ice cream was served, with cake donated by ttie ladies. Chicken was also in abundance, and every pre pared viand testified to the pre-emi nence of the culinary art in Rath drum. The banquet committee de serves the highest credit for the suc cessful manner In which they con ducted their part of the event. The number of persons who partook of the banquet is estimated at 500. The dance com County News Injunction Filed. Wm.
