IMPORTANT MEETING
OF SPOKANE JOBBERS
A meeting was held this morning in
the office of Culleu & Dudley in the
Rookery block of the committee ap
pointed at the recent meeting of the
men hauls of Spokane, at which they
were addressed by Mr. Snbiu of the
Portland Merchants' Protective asso
ciation.
The meeting this morning was only a
preliminary nffnir. Articles were!
drawn setting forth the objects of the
proposed association in ihi* city.
A nmne has begn decided upon as
the Spokane Jobbers' 1 association.
Iv the formatiou oi mi association of
this kind the merchants of the coast
cities have found that it nssits them
in lighting all encroachments of whole
snlcrs of other ar| nenrby cities which
in branching out? for trade enter the
territory of other jobbers. This results
in a somewhat tierce competition.
When one Of these associations are
formed all the jobbers band them
selves to devote their energy to ward
ing off all encroachments of the job
bers oi other cities, thus with their

Of the property holders named
above it is said that John A. Finch
owns nearly all of Alphonse addition,
south of tho west end of the bridge,
of I'nlon Pacific addition, a good deal
of Queen Ann addition —approximate-
ly 200 acres. A. S. Crowder and W.

director, owns extensively In Winona

In the estimation of a conservative
real estate man this morning, the
building of this magnificent bridge
and two street railway lines would
Hon and talk of the court circles nnd
elite of the German capital. Princess
Alice was a great favorite at the
palace, where she received many fav
ors and much attention from the
kaiser himself A few weeks before
tin 1 recent operation was performed
upon him he gave an entertainment
111 her honor which was one of tho
most notable society events that the
emperor has taken part In for several
months. The royal family was large
ly represented.
The press has been very 'guarded
tn referring to the matter so as not
combined influence they nil help one
another.
The principal objects of the Spokane
Jobbers' association, providing it is
formed, will be to promote the best
interests of this section nnd to make
Spokane a larger and better jobbing
center than it luis been in the past. In
organising it will be for the purpose of
keeping Spokane as the center of the
territory which it already has ns well
as to increase this territory, by branch
ing out in every direction wherever
there is nny tade that can possibly be
handled from this city.
Another proposed object is to facil
itnte collections, and also to establish
a thoroughly sale credit business and
generally to co-operate for the mutual
Benefit <>f all. socially and financially,
Aii'iigrrenirnt setting forth these va
rious propositions will be circulated
amongst all the jobbers of Spokane, and
if enough signatures run be secured, a
date for 8 general meeting will be set
and on that date the association will
be formed, and a constitution nnd by-
Isws promulgated.

real estate holders almost immedi

lar that these big holders of property
would di\re give towards building the
bridge bis return In" increased value
of real estate would be three times
the investment towards building the
bridge.
Despite these facts these wealthy
property holders are idly waiting for
the common taxpayers of the city
to step In and Increase the value of
their land holdings enormously. Up
to the present they have not even
equalled the paltry sum of 15000 of
fered by each of the traction com
panies for the use of the bridge.
Each seems to be foxily laying low
and waiting for that part of the city
east of Hangman creek to build their
bridge.
"It ls simply preposterous for the
city to build that bridge at present,"
said n subordinate city official today,
who, for obvious reasons, did not
want his name used. "Spokane prop

that they have left Germany, as the
impressive personality of the couple

they would soon be located.
Later—Princess Alice's elopement
was not unexpected by adherents,
who claim that, although the prince
joined the Catholic church in order
to marry her. be soon became ..intol

Dresden actress. One story is that
Malernl's wife surprised the prin
cess, and her husband and abused the
princess for alienating tier husband's
affect lons. The prince, aroused by the
noise, quarrelled with the princess,
who, later, left the ensile, after which
the Maternls were kicked out. Ma

next train, anil it is now ascertained
that they have gone to Milan.

"Our city is already facing one of
the worst financial problems in its
history, and yet some of the higher
olHelnls seem willing to sit Idly by
and see us put in the hole for $4 7,000
more at the start to build this
bridge, to assume the obligation of
making a fill at a probably additional
cost of $20,000, and to assume the re
sponsibility of keeping the bridge in
repairs while It is being used by the
people west of Hangman creek and
by the traction companies. For one.
I think The Press would be doing a
meritorious service If It could kill

Mrs. Fleming and the family, except
ing Mr. Fleming, went cast six weeks
ago. They made the trip through the
various eastern cities without mishap.
Then Mr. Fleming did the gallant
thing and made a flying trip east two
weeks Hgo to see that they got safely
home.
The return was made without inci
dent until the Northern Pacific depot
was reached in this city. Then Mrs.
Fleming's pocket was picked. She
lost a line gold watch and chain and
her money. Mr. Fleming wasn't aware
that anything hud happened until his
wife discovered her loss outside the
depot.
That wasn't the worst. In his haste
to get away Mr. Fleming forgot to turn
off the water in their homo on Cannon
hill. Ihning the told of last week the
pipes free and burst. \\ lien the doors
were opened by the returning family
the water rushed out. Carpets were
ruined and the wall paper and platter
were damaged.

Hut there is another opinion, a
written one. from the commissioner's
office, in the form of a letter to the'
city council of Spokane. It related
to the bridge between Qlover'S and
Havermule's islands and the city was
notified that "The said county of Spo

sioners thereof have no Jurisdiction!
or authority over the said bridge,
either to repair or maintain the same,

Mr. Qreenberg entered the room at
