■ 'll' baldly realize the possibilities of
'bi I' ■l l 'ii • "I I lie place. The country i-
Hf last undeveloped section of
"" wr-i. The land is prodigal in its
pi "il"i' i-e force The mountains are
■'"d with fore-ts and stratified
dh rich mineral hearing ledges. The
b' ‘I- _. e inence to cattle, sheep
ami Imise. |i is a garden spot beck
■ mg to the husbandman, and a conn-'
i. <>l opportunity calling to those who
l ing to better their conditions.
''l 4 1 -in i- on the ere of a grand
a aiming, and in the rack and rush
' the loi ward march ot progress Oro
'b is bound to forge to the front,
'in- i- not hot air. We «ho have
lived in the territory and state a quar
ter of a century have seen the changes
take place elsewhere where the en
vironments and advantages were not
one-half so alluring as those that are
here, and within the next few years
history will repeat itself in this at
present comparatively little known
section of the slate.
SPOKANK, after long delay on the part
of the intereommerce commission in
rendering a decision, has won out in
its fight for reduced freight rates.
Heretofore the Spokane wholesaler
has been handicapped in competition
with coast dealers owing to an advan
tage in freight rates those competitors
enjoyed, and it was hard for the in
land merchant to hold his legitimate
territory. Now it will he different and
the wholesale business of Spokane will
gi'ow prodigiously. It will contribute
to a more rapid building upof the city,
which is pushing ahead with marvel
ous strides. Nothing that hasoccuned
in late years has been of greater bene
fit to Spokane than this matter of low
er freight rates.
That great political calamity, (he
last- legislature, which goes down in
history this week “unknclled, unhon
ored and unsung," crowned its labors
by passing an appropriation hill that
will leave a sore spot in the pockets of
every taxpayer for years to come. It
would he well for the state if there
were not another session of the legis
lature in ten years, lor it will require
that length of time to recover from the
shock ot this last aggregation of legis
lative freaks.
Thosk who believe, in the wisdom of
the primary law as a means ot select
ing candidates would have been shaken
in dial view had they been able to see
the Washington legislature in session.
The results of its deliberations proves
that the outward and visible signs did
belie the mental calabre of that body,
lake,, as a whole the last legislature
was by far the most stupendous and
monumental failure since Washington
was organized a, an independent "sub
division of the Union.
" Hlr ' E t,,e entire committee having
the bill to divide Okanogan county in
charge were in favor of the measure
owing to the hostile attitude of Mr'
Bolinger. w ho could have encompassed
it- defeat before the house, the friends
of the hill decided not to have it called
up. It will no doubt pass the legisla
ture two years hence when the county
elects a representative willing to stick
to hi- promises.
An effort "a - made in the dying
days of the legislature to have some
the state officers investigated, grate
chaiges being made against the secre
lary of the state, insurance com mis-!
sioner and land commissioner. How I
ever nothing came of it. If half wh(lf I
i- told as to the method of conducting I
those offices is true a little fumigation l .
would improve conditions.
A great many people are taking ad- 1
I™'*'"', ' hF rates and coming I
have h a Ki n ° ne ° f ne " miners I
ha r been ah'e ", get through the draw
net at Spokane and make this upp,° r |
