PLAN U. C. T. HOME FOR AGED. Spokane , Wash. , March 7. Prelim Inary plans have been made to estab llsh a permanent home in Spokane for indigent commercial travelers. Waiter tor P. Edris , postmaster at Spokane , who was a salesman before he en tered the government service , several years ago , is chairman of a committee of the United Commercial Travelers having the project in hand. The idea lias been approved by commercial men and travelers In Washington , Oregon , Idaho , Montana and British Columbia. Construction work will begin during the coming summer. "We arc negotiating for a sitely tract of land on which to build the home , " Mr. Edris said in making the first announcement of the plan. "The atructure and the grounds will be a credit to the northwest as well as to those backing the project. The build ing scheme will get its start at the Merchants and Traveling Men's car nival In the Washington state armory In Spokane May 1 to C , after which It Is purposed to begin a canvass among the traveling men in America In the various states and provinces. "There are more than 600.000 travel ing salesmen in this country and all are connected with one or more asso ciations. It will not be a big under taking to get at least 100,000 to join this proposition when they know that by paying $1 a year they will always have as good a home as they have been used to , where they will be wel come and receive the best of attention should adversity come or life's twi light begin to fall. To always have that feeling of security and contribute a small amount for the comfort of others is worth many times $1 a year. Though they never expect to take ad vantage of what is offered , there are many men the country over who will Join with us In this enterprise just to know that if things go wrong there is a safe retreat open to them.

The legisla tive crowd left on the afternoon trains , rushing for the railway sta tions as soon as they had taken their last vote on the general appropriation bill and leaving the olllccrd and a few good Matured members to clear up the I rest of the work and adjourn. With I its going went the first absolutely * leaderless body which has over mot in this state. There was no spokes man of the administration with a back ing to push through certain measures ; there was no party or factional following - ing which could be depended upon to follow any leader , and while that was one of the methods of showing Inde pendence of "boss rule , " at the same time It did not tend toward a rushing of business. There was no great administrative measure to hold the members together nor was there any great reform meas ure before the bodies , unless the Rich ards primary law could be said to be such , but that did not require consid eration. Probably the good roads law was the law.of most general state-wida interest enacted. The new railway code was drawn by the railway com mission and pushed as its measure , while telegraph and telephone taxa tion has been vitally remodeled. Among what may be called the prin cipal bills which went down was the lailroaci rate law , general game code with state instead of county deputies , the eight-hour and union labor bills , which wore pushed by the Black Hills union men. The railroads have not had to take the baiting of the session preceding , but got a little attention , and the In surance companies had to take their share of attention. Among pure food laws , probably the most Important was the senate not weight law which went through the last night. Former Norfolk Man Missing. Fremont Herald !
