work on that utreet. t;an any of the
others. Weber street is waiting
for the coating of gravel, and Per

gravel bed iu front of Frank Jor

tho grading has furnished consid
erable gravel for the road. Wall
street is fast assuming roudlike ap
pearance. '
Homo of tho roads have net specified
what day this will be good, but it
is certain it will enable the visitors
to reach the tair on the first day
and to give them ample time to
see everything there ia to be seen
at this Spokane exposition and to
attend all the meetings of the con
vention. The Northern Pacific will sell
next Monday a one fare rate ticket
to Spokane from all points in Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Moli
lalia; and from points so remote
that a person cannot reach Spokane
in time for the convention if he
Htarls Monday, this road will sell
tickets Sunday, Sept. 2.3. Other
roads arc expected to do the same.
The Northern pucific makes it pos
sible for the person coming to Spo
kane on this ticket to aemain two
weeks.
No convention ever h'dd in the
Pacific northwest, not even ex
cepting the very important meet
ing of the Irrigation Congress, re-'
cently iu session at Boise, is of J
greater valuf than the convention I
which is to bo held in Spokane two I
days next week. The shrewdest!
business men of this part of the Pa- I
cih'c Northwest arc lanrdog the ;
program ami propose a movement
which will advertise th? four states
in ik way which will rival the great
est advertising fichemes which the
Canadian government and the Ca
nadian Paciiir; railway have been
using to draw people of tho United
States into the Albetta country.
Already many delegates are prom
ised for the convention, assurincr
the important meeting desired.
Tho committees which are plan
ning the meeting fijht shy of every
thing which is (or individual locali
ties as against tho entire northwest.
There is ho much of vast importance
upon which al! communities in the
four states can unite, that the con
vention will find that it will have
all it can do to plan this work.
Among the questions which have
been suggested for discussion are
the placing of lecturers in the east,
advertising tho Pacific northwest;
opening of rivers and harbors; the i
establishment of a strong north
west press bureau; securing by
united action national conventions
for all the cities of the northwest,
which are large enough to enter
tain them; tho placing of an immi
gration agent in Europe; securing
of an appropriation by the legisla
ture of each of the four states for
the advertising of that state; the
co-operation of tho United States
government for forest protection,
including the patrol of f 01 eats by
United States cavalry troops, and
the urging of leading cities to hold
annual expositions and fairs.
It is important that every com
meicial body send delegates to this
convention and notify It. C. Rohra

the name of the delegates, as fast as
they are chosen. Railroad officials
ore not only yiviug unusual rates
for the benefit of this convention,
but many of the officials are writ

importanco of tho movement and
promising to be present.

THE WEEK
There is no person's money potent enough to buy here cheaper
than any other person. And everybody is treated alike, no
special courtesies or accommodations to anybody no playing of
favorites either in price or in service or attention. It is a store
where every person can bny "good" clothing for just what good
clothing is worth with a decent profit added enough to main
tain the store but not enough to make good clothing cost you
as much here as you pay at other stores for it.
