Found the cancellation odd enough to ask if anyone know it?
Looks like it was canceled sept 21 1907 (could be wrong)

Perhaps to someone that knows more then me :)
To me it's odd cause I couldn't find anything
Perhaps don't know what to search
most of my cancels from this time are lines, barrels or ovals with city name
when I can, I like to try to find info on them
something to do with holidays?

Your stamp has two partial strikes from a steel duplex style cancel. In this case a Railway Post Office cancel similar in lay-out to this one:



Your stamp has a "RMS" killer at left and a partial dial struck over the central portion reading " ... & Spok". Many RPOs went into Spokane, WA, so it may be impossible to ID this one further.

There is a good chance it is this, or a chose variant:



which is currently running on ebay (not my lot).

This example is a bit earlier than yours but is a good match for the letter spacing, etc. These devices were used hard and took some damage, so I discount the lower tail of the "&" being absent on yours. Also yours may have a piece chipped from the loop of the "P". I would be looking for later examples of this device to see if these possibly wear/damage characteristics match more closely.

The "Tr 2" is also an encouraging sign of a match.

Either way, for a couple of bucks you can buy full examples of these cancels on postcards.
