The Spokesman lleview claims that

Thu only other selling agencies in thu
west will fob ut Denver and Salt Lake.
The Spokane ofllce will handle thu en
tire business of the trust for Montana,
.northern Idaho, Washington, Oregon

Theru was thu keenest rivalry on the
part of linns in llutte, San Francisco
and Portland to get thu agency, as an
enormous volumuof business will bu han
dled through It. llutte men especially
wanted the olllco, and they went back in
shoals to Chicago in thu hopu of getting

in Spokane, iih hu consldurs this city the
center of thu mining industry in thu

thu Hradley Enginccriifg and Mining
company, has lccu appointed manager.

in iiiccession to Mr. llradley, who gives
up direct charge of that concern in order
'to handle the business of the trust.
Thu company will have ollices in thu
