There is constant buzz and murmur
of discomfort throughout the city at
the bungles made by those in charge

manner in which the entire celebra-
ton was handled. The wall Of COM

Many presumed from the complex

dent was to be invited to participate
in one of those little poker games for
which Spokane IL famous. and can
not quite comprehend this omission,
for this feature would have proved

to his entertainers.
There seems to have been a studied
attempt in the selection of this COM
mittee to ignore the leading capital
lists and business men of the COM
munity. the men who have made
Spokane. This omission is keenly felt
by the men themselves and resented
by their friends. 1t is pointed out
that, with few exceptions, the bank
ers, the mining magnates, the large
contractors, the merchants, the de-
partment stores and the big corpora
tiOns were not given representation.

Roosevelt. Neither did they ask Post

That Old Wooden Bridge.

For number Of years the bridge
toll has been very much discussed
by both citizens of Lambertvile
and New Hope, and it has been
asserted thousands Of times that the
toll was exorbitant. The bridge has
frequently been called little mint.
OF course, the expense Of running the
bridge was very significant and those
who held stock pronounced it gilt
edged, and it seems great disaster to
those holding stock as nothing now
remains, but the charter and sinking
fund of few thousand dollars. Lam
bertville and New Hope are both deep
ly interested in the bridge problem
and should take steps to see that
proper bridge il erected, one that
would be an ornament as we'll as
useful addition to the welfare Of our
city. At Easton the States Of New
