To Uic Editor!

' "Thc ethereal mildntsj," -.vhlch the poet ascribes to spring seems to be conspicuous for Its absence in these parts. In fact the season seems to bo about a month late. Business in most lines L'S depres.sed, e-Ncept-ni; perhaps farming, v.-hich should be prosperous as nearly all a.griciiltiual products command high prices. The over-non-ulatcd cltltts of this state are flndln-"-It dllllcult to hoid their population as thousand.s arc walking the streeft without iio.sslble means uf sujiport and un.ible to get v.ork. The vicaiit residences in Spokane are legior f)f courae the "boo-ze" vendors wi'.l at-tribute this condition to ihe prohibi­tion law which wenl into effect at the beginning of the year. Others assert that It Is a natural reaction trom the over-stimulated growth, while another class m.aintain that the large amount of money sent east for automublles * " " contributed to the clo.se times.

Though Spokane ha.s lost large numbers to whom lifo without their dally grog is. intoleraWe. the condition 01 public morals has been greatly Im­proved. Under the patronage of the fifty evangelical churches of the city Rev, Milford Lyon, a famous reviva­list of the middle west, has been hold­ing dally meetings in a tetnporary tabernacle With a seating capacity of 8.000, As a result of this six weeks' campaign just ending, some 3,500 eon-versions are claimed,

,UnltarlanIsm. too. has gained also -in the moral and religious uplift. The little wooden structure of |).-ist years Is no longer able to hold their con­gregations which now worships in the largest movln.g jiicture theatre" of the city, the Clemmer theatre. Xor is thc religious Interest conflncd to thc Protestants. 'I'he Roman catholic churche.s are dr.-iwing vast crowds to their I>-nten services, especiallv when Fr. Sherman, the .son of the famous war general, officiates.

Summer travel to the Pacific coast has no doubt heen stimulated bv the Eurojieaii war, as many who natural­ly would cro.s.s the Atlantic substitute a trip out here. We seem unusuallv short of spring attractions to beguile the laboring men.. There are no great publlc works announced by anv of the tranij-continent.al railways. The puli­lic land open to homestead is practi­cally all taken, unle.ss we except the south half of the Colville reservation, to which we have referred in a form­er letter. Should the wheat crop of Last' year be duplicated this year In yield and price those who leave the over-crowded cities for the land will congratulate themselves.

The , season for catching ea,stern suckers who will bite .at anything In the real estate line has come to a close and It looks .as though a large element in the cities will be compelled to Join the ranks of tho producers, and that peoplo generally -RIII get down to the consenatlve busine.ss methods of the older states.

Know the Reisult BEFORE Painting

The wear test is sure, but mighty expensive, wher> paint. proves bogus and there is a bill for resurfacingand repaint­ing. The one certain way is to know beforehand that paint is t i m e - t r i e d and weather-tested. You can bank on

Dutch Boy Red Seal

White Lead p u r e l i n s c e d oil. turpentine and driers, tinted any color you wish. White-lead paint of this kind pene­trates into wood pores, anchors there and dries hard. It holds on until it wears out. Dusting off is the only preparation for repainting.

Come to us If you have painting w a n t s , Everythins from paint brushes tb white lead. Telephone orders promptly filled,
