CAN'T DO IT

Manager Decarie of the crematory
has refused to burn manure in his
furnaces without first being mixed
with other combustible material. He
said yesterday to Commissioner Root
that his contract did not call for
burning manure as it came from the
stables; that manure was the most
difficult of all substances to burn and
that stablemen must refrain hereafter
from bringing it to the crematory I'M
mixed with other garbage unless they
wished to pay for burning it.
The board of public works is of the
opinion that the crematory should
burn anything which is sent there
and Mr.. Decarie was told this yester-
day. In answer Mr.. Decarie stated
that he was willing to live up to his
contract with the city, but that rather
than go beyond that point he would
throw up the contract.

COMING

Spokane or bust" is the cry of the
eastern tourist. Homeseekers are
pouring into the city on every train.
On last nights Northern Pacific west
bound over 100 left the train at Spo-
kane. A large portion of the travel
ers come bound to Spokane. The
immigration is almost unprecedented.
The hotels are crowded and the
chamber of commerce offices are filled
with homeseekers anxious to locate
here or in territory close by.
The Palouse country will receive
many of the fasteners. The pros
pectus sent out has attracted many to
the great wheat country of the east
ern empire. The tourists are only be-
ginning to come. 1t is thought that
the succeeding weeks will bring
thousands.
