HOW THEY MANAGE AT SPOKANE.

They have their own way OF doing
things at Spokane. The people want the
city to build water works and to wi
their own water supply. At present the
water is furnished 10 the citizens by the
Spokane Water Power Company, a pri-
vate concern. which charges a high
enough water rate to make its stock a
~remunerative investment.
The question as TO the construction Of
water works by the city has been twice
submitted to the people. and has zach
time been decided aflrmatively by a vote
OF 1 10 !. But the Water Power Com
pany objects TO being so unceremonI-
ously disposed oil. and recently OBJ
tanned an Injunction from some court
f~orbidding the city officials TO let the
contract for the city works, which are
TO cost SD.Go. The reason for this
action Is that the Water Power Com
pany is trying to sell its privileges TO a
New York syndicate for half a million
dollars.
The answer OF the Spokane people TO
the court proceedings is made through
a m~ass-meeting, which promises 10 tar
and feather quite a number OF those in
terested in the ~lItigating company, and
70 dispose OF a few other still more sum
martly. The President and other officers
Of the Company are bitterly denounced
and they are notified that they will no
longer be allowed TO rob the people.
The course pursued by the Spokane
ties is not strictly in accordance with
legal forms. but then It is likely to be
more prompt and decisive thar regular
court proceedings.
