Spo kane can have a new railroad, con necting the city with the Canadian Patlrto, within a year If she will do nate the right of way Into the i-lty and terminal grounds. Suoh Is the statement of D. C Oor bln, the well known capitalist, with whom Hon. Cieorge Turner has been working for more than a year past on the project to build a mad from Spo kane to some point In PriMali Colum bia to" connect with the CimadlanPn- clllc. Mr. Corbln has recently returned from New York, and last evening gave out the sbove statement The road. If built, will give Spokane what she has long needed, a competitive line, and It Is believed will ultimately result In giving Spokane shippers what they have been refused by the merger roads, tariff rates that are In accord with the business of the city. . Mr. Corbln says he cannot tell ex actly how long It will take to build the road, but he believed It would be completed within a year. The length of the line will be 140 to 145 miles, and It will cost about $4,000,000. The pre liminary surveys have been completed. but a number of changes may be mpde before the final location Is decided upon. The new road will run easterly from Siokane to a point near Rathdrum. Idaho. It Is likely to diverge there, but the exact route Is not determined. It will probably strike the Kootenai river ot far from Bonner's ferry. The sur ey as now made la along the Tank river, a stream flowing Into the Koot enai above Bonner's ferry. It follows the Tnhk to the International boun dary and will connect with the Can adian Pacific at the boundary. This is the road for which Judge Turner drafted incorporation papers over a year ago under the name of the Spokane & Kootenai Railroad Company. It is probable, however. that a new company will be formed and a new name selected, as the old name hardly Indicates the 'scope of the entirprlse. When the road Is com pleted, through service will be given from Spokane to St Paul unoer a traffic arrangement with the Canadian Pacific. 1 mlttee will go Into this phase of the cas. It already has Its hands pretty full. Hut the public clamor ugaiiiHt the tnlsslonurU's Is nut doing the cause of Mr. Smoot any good. The committee has it Ho been appeal ed to by other Moinion churches to take action which shall result In Jus tice to thorn, it seems that there are several Mormon societies In different parts of the country whose members do not Mactlce polygamy and who never did. These churches regard the Utah organisation as apostates and the Utah iople ah cordially hute the other. Th-se monogamist Latter ).i Saints are as bitterly opposed to Smoot sitting lu congress ns the Meth odists or Presbyterians or any oth -r Christian people uaild be. They want Smoot unseated nud huve not beu "t all Imckkward In mnkln their wishes known to the commutes. Walter Weltmnn In Chicago Record-Herald. SMOOTS ONLY CHANCE simply meana that we will not have a member of the Mormon church In concre, evn If he Is not a violator of any law. This Is a delicate ques tion; it Is a dangerous precedent to establish, and it is extreme groun.1 which I do not believe a majority of the senate will consent to occupy." HIGH PRICES TUMBLE. Shingle Men Unsbls to Msintsin Fig ures Nsmed. Spokane. Wash.. March 1?.-The Inland Shingle Agency Is apparently a thing of the past. The agency was composed of shingle manufacturer of this city und was organised for the purpose of cimi trolling the prices of as the first contract lasted, which was up to the Ix-Klmilng of the present year, the agency was u success, but when an effort wits made to sevure a new contract for this year the troub le began. Some of the manufacturers were in favor of a cut of 10 cents per lO'iO, but others objected. The result Is that the agency has fallen by the way side and the manufacturers are mak ing such prices as they see fit. The Western Pine Shippers' Association has had no trouble In getting all the shingles needed to fill Its orders nt the reduced price. Several attempts have been made by the shingle men to get together, but without avail. Germans Forced to Retreat. Berlin, March 19.

Another aspec t of the Smoot case Is now attracting considerable attention in the committee. Members say that among the great mass of correspond ence that pours In upon them are let ters from constituents telling of the labors of Mormon missionaries In their communities. Many of these letters report that the missionaries devote most of their energies to winning young women proselytes. A member of the committee says he has abetter Informing him that a number of young women have been added to the Mor non contingent from a town near his own home. The committee is urged ;o broaden the scope of its inifulry and ascertain why the Mormon proselytes ar so eager o gather in young women recruits. It Is not probable the com-' NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.
