The purpose of the Trades Relation tour, which is being fostered by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, is to drum up more trade in the Inland Empire for Seattle houses and lies beyond the mountains ard which” Seattle claims for her own, The fact that Spokane—Seattle’s rival for jobbing busi- ness in the Inland Empire—is one of the most enthusiastic with the coming of the Seattle men. The petty inter-city jealousies é6f the state’s younger days have been wiped out in the mutual drive to put over the ion project, Spokane knows she needs Seattle’s willing and untiring aid to make the great dream come true. Apd Seattle knows that it is dollars and cents in her pocket if she puts her shoulder to Spokane’s wheel. If—or rather WHEN*-tha reclamation scheme becomes a reality thare will be all the business that Spokane and Seattle combined can take care of. The two cities can never again afford to pull at cross purposes. The harder they pull together from now on, the faster both will grow. The two cities have a lot in common, little in competition. Seattle, as a seaport, is the natural water outlet for the products which flow from the Spokane territory. And Spokane is the hub of the country from which Seattle draws much of its supplies. Seattle's Chamber of Commerce, in fostering these trade | tours, is looking to the future, when the millions of*acres of | |Inkand Empire prairie now given over to sage brush and/ jdust will bloom into vast gardens.and wheat farms under the magic touch of irrigation. When this comes about, hundreds of thousands of settlers will flock in and make their homes there. And they will be eager and well-to-do buyers of things which both Seattle and Spokane have to sell. There will be plenty of trade to Mr. Kipling is a good poet and, of course, he was refer- ring to the Orient and Occident when‘he wrote his popular little ditty above quoted. But the East and West of Washington are rapidly beating down the barrier which might have made his famous lines apply to this state. The Sunday School Every/Sunday some thillions of little folke—and aduita, too, for that mat ter—all over the Christian world, meet in churches of some kind, sing “Showers of Biesnings” and the like, recite a lesson from the scriptures, and then, maybe—stay for church. The Sunday school is popular—church with the sermon left out, as some one has described it. One likes to mull over the beginning of the Sunday school. Its “Inventor” was Robert Ratkes, and, in 1812, he lived in the litte Engtish town of Gloucester, Raikes came out of his home on a bright Sunday morning, only to sed the town raggimbffins fighting and quarreling about the village well curb, hd Raikes, on the spot, started the first @unday school. He took the boys across the way to hie home. Ragged they were and other decent places were closed to them. But Raikes took them In, and taught them. And on the next Sunday there were more boys. And the idea of the free Sunday school spread from one English town to another, and into France across the channel, and into Germany, and leaped the seas to America. Naw the story of the Bible is told in every civilized country in the world on every Sunday of the year without money and without price. _Ralkes’ effort hae grown to be a wonderful force in guiding an Se young of the world, ‘Almost Hopeless * At the national @bnvention of the Service Star League « resotution was passed advocating sensible dress for women.

Doubtless there is much reason for their crusade, but they are going at It wrong.

Preventable Fires If, on that memorable night of Oct. 8, 1871, Mra O'Leary's cow really did kick pyer the lamp that started the Chicago fire, some good came out of it.

Yet, despite the higher cost, America imported 50 per cent more sugar, and 60 per cent more coffee, pe All of which may Inditate that the higher the price the more tho consumer buys. 1 Uniform and Toga A baseball player i# indicted for violating a law.
