tensively repaired. were accepted on behalf
OF the. city by the board OF public works
yesterday morning. The engines were
tested Thursday at the Western mill on
Lake Union by Engineers Lynch. Drew
and Collins, OF the fire department. Three
Tacoma tiremen were also In attendance.
The trial.. which included getting up
steam and throwing water different dis
tances, resulted satisfactorily
The new engine was built Mt Eimira. N.
Y, and is beautiful piece of mechanism.
1t is OF the FIRST size, having a capacity
OF 900 gallons a minute. 1t will probably
be stationed permanently at Third avenue
and Pine street.
The Watrous engine was purchased by
the city In 1893. and proved to be almost
worthless. A year ago the fire department
gave up Its efforts TO use the engine and
1t was sent back TO New York. There It
was entirely rebuilt, only about a third OF
the original engine being left 1t has
new boiler and has. been reconstructed on
the La France model. The tests at Lake
Union showed 1t was up to the required
standard. The renovated engine will be
stationed at Fourth avenue and Battery

TALKING OVER RATES.
Lines Want Great Northern Colonfst
Rate withdrawn.

The meeting of Western passenger
agents in Chicago last week to consider
a settlement of the rate troubles to the
Pacific coast resulted in a proposition
to exempt the Missouri river gateway
from the rebate system. This, 1t is be-
lieved, will give protection to the Colo
RADIO and south coast traffic while the
two Oregon lines will not be subjected
to the inequality, which the rebate plan
infiicts upon them.
1t is said arrangements are being per-
pected to continuing the rebate plan I'M
til such time as the Great Northern will
discontinue its colonist rates.

The chief OF the

Labor, Horace G..
Wadlin, suggests that
the housewives work
is worth what it
would cost to have
it done by paid
labor. What is this
cost? 1t appears
when the house
wife dies. 1t is the
cost of breaking up
the home, farming
out the children. and
the expense of mar
rying a second wife.
When a man tries to

wife has done for him
he makes no discov-
cry but that it is
cheaper to secure
another wife.
The cheapest labor
in the world is the
housewives. and this
is the key to why
