National Irrigation Congress Week Rail Fares and Local Plans
Railroads offer one and a third fare for Spokane week August 9 to 14 for the National Irrigation Congress. Great Northern surveyors reportedly found a 2 percent grade for a Chewelah to Calispel cut off, reviving talk of a Newport to Chewelah line. The U S government will compensate Cayuse Indian War veterans at 1.50 per day. A new Lincoln penny replaces Martha Cunningham on coinage in early August.
