As a "TwO.Bit" Town Spokane
Would Stand Alone in The
Northwest.
PLENTY OF SIGNATURES

Twenty-Five cents a shave, IS cents
for a haircut or Spokane two-bit
town" is the slogan of the barber
shop proprietors of this city.
A petition is being circulated
among the leading shop owners to
increase the price of tonsorial necessi-
ties to the above figure and is being
generally signed. The movement was
started by Carl Koch of the shop I'M
der the Jameson block at Mill street
and Riverside avenue and w. d. Ben
son, whose shop is at 8 Post street.
The new rate for a shave will in
clude the much fought over neck
shave and, it is said, the choice of
several brands of fancy toilet water,
hot towels and, in fact, everything
that the most fastidious could wish.
AS ''two-bit' town Spokane would
stand alone in the northwest, for not
even Butte, home of the pugilist and
millionaire, has been equal to this
emergency.
The union Eisn employed in the
Spokane shops have nothing to do
with the adoption Of the new scale.
There is minimum price for various
services fixed by the union and a rate
for the division of receipts, but the
shop owners can exceed the union
scale without consulting the men, The
BARRIERS are divided as to the advisa-
bility of the new move. Some favor
it, arguing it will bring in more
money and increase the mems share
on division of receipts. Others
urge that it will decrease patronage
to such an extent that the total re-
ceipts will be lower than heretofore,
which means loss to the men.
However, the petition is intended
simply to obtain an expression OF
opinion from shop owners and the
proposition may be rejected after O
full discussion.

For New Fire Station.

A recommendation of the board of
fire commissioners for the purchase
of the northeast corner of Magnolia
street and First avenue has been sub
mttted to the finance committee OF
the city council.
The increased population of the
First ward and the lack of proper
fire protection necessitates the de-
mand for new station in that dis
trict. and the city of Spokane has
secured 10 days option on this To-
cality for the SUM Of $3.50. The esti-
mated cost OF equipment and mainte-
nance OF this proposed rre station,
with one combination hose and chem
ical wagon. with five men on duty,
amounts to $9626.
1t is estimated that the station
could be built for about $4,000.
