Pavement IN Spokane.
NEWTON TIIBBS.

Our city engineer wrote to Otto A.
Weile the city engineer of Spokane ask
ing him about Spokane specifications for
macadam. II had been stated That scien-
tifc engineers had advocated macadam
for Riverside avenue but it had proven a
failure there, the mud comngup through.
Mr. Weile replied as follows.
"In reply to your favor of the 9TH inst.
beg to say Il at the enclosed clipping
"for gravel pavement" is quite joke
to one posted on the facts.
Mr.. Hibbs' statement that Riverside
avenue was a dismal failure is quite
correct, but he has been misinformed as
to the kind of street it was. Riverside
avenue never had any broken rock or
macadam on it, in fact we don't have a
single macadanized street i'll the city.
Our soil is gravel formation contain
ing large quantity of loan; it is how
ever quite commonly used for ballast OH
the graded streets. Where the soil is of
this nature, in grading the street, the
roadway is simply formed TO the proper
crown and the curb plank set to line and
grade. When i'll rock excavation the
street is ballasted inches deep with the
above ballast. Occasionally when the
street commissioner has few loads of
broken stone OH hand he uses it to fill i'll
some bad spots Oh some street, but that
is as near as we get to understanding.
The question of matchmaking some Of
the less important business streets is
being agitated right now in our city, and
if ANYTHING comes fit, they will be the
| first streets to be macadamized i'll Spo-
kane.
For about 9 months of the year our
streets are in fairly good condition, but
when it gets to this season they are
| frightful. They are now all a sea OF mud
about four inches deep, bad for pedes-
trains, but not quite so bad for vehicles
because while the mud is plenty, the
foundation is good and no difficulty is
experienced in hauling any kind Of load.
1t is not a very good condition to have
the streets in for progressive city, but
is having the result of impressing upon
the property owners the necessity Of
payements ard will think, result i'll at
least 6 or 7 streets being paved next
season.
Mr.. Mccullough has asked us to pub
lish the above without comment. He
says he is done with the controversy a:
to the relative merits of gravel and
broken stone. From the letter of thu
Spokane engineer Mr. Mccullough be
lieves the formation there to be simila
to the formation here.

the Indians in the apareios. He vas
rescued by a searching party sent back
by Timothy, brought to Alpowa, restored
to health by tender nursing and tbe
ministration OF Te-ina the good wife of
this V-erstern Tecumseh.
The name of Timothy's wife Te-ma
literally interpreted means one who
writes. lh's woman was, so far as known.
the last OF the tribe that remembered the
visit of Lewis and Clark in 1904 She
took great interest in the white peonIe
which was inspired by the memory of
these men. She is said to have learned
to speak and write English from some of
her people who had been taught by their
early visitors during their soiourn in the
Lewiston valley. This education gave
the child her name and Influenced her life
as we'll. The influence of Te-ma aided
no doubt in making Timothy the great
man he was.
The influence of Te-ma was the cause
OF giving the name of Alpowa to her
home. The word Alpowa means in the
Significance of its application to this
place Sunday-like rest or a place to en-
Joy Christian peacefulness. The influ-
ence which gave this name to Te-ma' S
home extended to every member of the
Nez Perces tribe, and this influence had
much to do with making them the most
civilized OF all the American aborignies
when the white men first came in con-
tact with hem. History records the
good deeds of no truer heroine in the
world than good old Te-nla.
Timothy and Te-na rest side by side
on knoll near their old home the
Alpowa Sunday which their good deeds
made. This name is monument that
will stand forever. However as these
good Indians received no manner of re-
ward from public or private sources while
they lived, their act of heroism should
be preserved in marble so that all NAV
know the significance of the name Alpowa
and future generations may be reminded
of the deeds OF Timothy and Te-ma the
lowly hero and heroine of the western
aborigines.

from first sowing, and that it is get
ting Il good start.
Pastures have made equally rapid
growth, and considering the condi-
tion on April LIST, the present condi-
tion of S6 is quite satisfactory.
LIVE STOCK.
May lst finds live stock in good
condition after the long, hard winter.
Very little complaint is made Of hog
cholera, and there is an entire alb
sence of other diseases. Sheep that
were suffering for lack of pasturage
are now rapidly regaining lost vital
ity. The general average condition
is 90 compared with average years.
FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Prospects for fruit have improved
wonderfully during the month. Es-
pecially is this the case with pears
and cherries. The reverse Is probab-
ly true Of grapes. the damage to the
vines from severe winter being great
er than at first anticipated.
Apples, pears, cherries and plums
have been IN full bloom, with the
weather conditions perfect for fruit
ing. Many correspondents make
special mention of the unusual heavy
apple bloom. Raspberries and
blackberries will be a failure, the
canes being killed to the roots.
Strawberries are quite promising.
Peaches, as indicated in previous re-
ports, will be practically a failure,
though few reports of live bloom
are received from the western and
southeastern sections.
The prospects for various kinds OF
fruit, as compared with average
years, are: For apples, 81 /; pears, 50
peaches, O2; cherries, IS; grapes, Il
strawberries, S5.

Come into the garden, Maud,
And see how things have grown.

And morning glOries there
Come into the garden, Maud
And see how my seedlings fare"

Nor a solitary pea;

DESPERATION OF THE UNLovED.-
A Washington lady who has been
abroad with her little daughter
tells this story:
The little maiden had a French
nurse. of whom che was very fond,
and who supplied her with most OF
her amusement. One day this nurse
departed, and her small charge did
not know what to do with herself.
She wandered about the house, up
stairs and down, into the garden
and back again. and finally hung
about her mother, who was busy
with the baby. Receiving no atten-
tion. she turned away, saying, de
jectedly:
"Nobody loves me. ! guess I'll
