Spokane Plans A New State Of Lincoln Proposal
A Spokane convention in March proposed by F. H. Mason and C. H. Moore aims to create the State of Lincoln by extending Washington’s southern boundary through Idaho and redefining regional borders. The plan envisions Oregon, Washington, Montana, and British Columbia with new territorial alignments and capital at Olympia, addressing Idaho and California boundaries to gain symmetry and include Wenatchee, North Yakima, and Ellensburg. The push anticipates opposition from some states but seeks support from commercial bodies. Meanwhile, A D Rhovimusa pleaded not guilty in a murder case in circuit court and a lodge installation was held for Mignonette Lodge No. 86 Rebelatis with officers installed. Cecil Brittain’s ill father, R L Brittain, is hospitalized with pneumonia.

Flooding Hits Athena Amid Silver Thaw Ravages Town
A severe flood struck Athena after eight inches of snow melted and rushed off frozen ground. Main Street flooded, basements and cellars inundated, the O R & N depot and tracks damaged, and trains disrupted while the Preston Parton mill area faced two feet of water. Local outages and washouts affected service toward Adams and beyond, as a swift thaw transformed fields into a rising river system.
