DRILL

The board of public works has I'M
der consideration a plan for investi-
eating leaks in the large water mains
of the city. The city officials admit
that a leak of some extent exists
somewhere, and will instruct City En-
gineer Gill in the near future to pro-
cure apparatus specially adapted for
such purposes and to proceed with the
investigation.
The pumps at the city water works
are pumping the same volume Of
water at night as they do in the day
time. There should be considerable
decrease in the amount of water used
at night, and the officials say that
some investigation must be made.

from Kansas City and the other from
San Francisco. Yesterday they in.
serted an advertisement asking for q
loan of 800 each for two good look
ing travelling men,"
The advertisement was under the
heading, "Wanted-To Borrow Money
and read as follows:
1.-TWO good looking travelling mer
want to borrow 500 each. Address
AL. Hotel Spokane"
Five replies before noon were re-
ceived. All came from young women
by phone. The two young men sat
in their room and explained to each
inquirer that it was all joke.
A Dream Girl.
One of the travelling men in telling
of the affair said that one Of the
young women said her name was
May. "Mazy" always suggests to
the masculine mind dream girl, a
perfect dream with light hair, blue
eyes, blush-rose tints and a voice
that is a sonata, nocturn or rhapsody
or something equally as good. May
said she had the velvet" and might
loan a hundred.
Girl With Brown Eyes.
Another girl wanted to be called
Claire. Claire always suggests that
rare look of stupidity that comes
like balm to spirit overburdened
with the average feminine intelli-
gence. If Chinese cracker exploded
at her feet she'd step aside and beg
it's pardon. She has brown eyes, too.
They are the rapt soulful orbs that
are so easily trained to drop at the
proper time.
Another girl said she was Jewess
This suggested one dressed in severe
black, high pompadour. with a whole
being pulsating with the exhilaration
of ndepedence-dashng bold and
beautiful.
AT last reports the two young men
had not borrowed the 500 apiece, but
had had more than enough fun to pay
for the ad.

case notified the agents of the building

orders were not carried out.
