WHAT WILL THE
CITY COUNCIL DO?

Three big propositions are to come
up before the city council tonight
the water question, the purchase of
fire steamers and the franchise over
the new Hangman creek bridge.
Engineer Tannatt is expected to
make his proposition to the special
committee this afternoon in order TO
place 1t before the city council. Just
what the offer will be is still a Sc
cret.
When Councilmen Lindsey date of
the board of equalizatiOn) and Bald
win opposed the employment of En-
gineer Tannatt as constructing engi-
neer the fight by the Gill faction
started. 1t was held that City Engi-
neer Gill was the proper man to su-
pervise the construction of the pro-
posed reservoir From political
standpoint it was necessary that Gill
have control.
The city engineer and his friends
won the first fight and the offer of
Engineer Tannatt to go to work for
the city at $3.50 month was turned
down.
Then came the proposition to have
Mr.. Tannatt pass on the plans for the
new reservoir and assist in bringing

ARRANGEMENTS
FOR LABOR DAY

Coeur d'Alene park be used for pub
lie purposes. The proposition sub
mitted to the councils was equivalent
to s5 in cash. The company reserved
the right to operate the lunch stands,
run the dance and furnish half of
the music. The laboring men would
enjoy the privilege of paying the
Washington Water Power company
for their refreshments and amuse-
ment.
There arose some difficulty as to
the furnishing of the music for the
parade. The musicians union had en-
tered a protest against playing in
the parade gratis. Resolutions were
passed last evening to the effect that
unless the musicians donated their
services there would be no music.
The musicians union has received a
great deal of financial aid from the
Trades Labor council and the latter
body believes there should be reci-
procIy.

up to a practical basis the plans of
Weymouth and Gill.
The special committee, consisting
of President Boyd and Councilman
Pratt, will receive the proposition
from Mr.. Tannatt this afternoon.
In the matter of purchasing a fire
steamer the recommendatio of the
finance committee will probably be
fought by the water meter gang and
the councilmanic representatives Of
the tall tower. but it is expected that
the order will be made.
Another big fight is expected to-
night when the streetcar franchise
for the new high bridge over Hang
man creek is brought up. The WASH
ington Water Power company applied
for the franchise and the matter was
blocked for the time being through a
suggestion that the Spokane Trac-
tion company would also want to use
the bridge eventually. Since that time
the agents of the Water Power COM
pany have been busy working for an
exclusive franchise. The Graves in
terests are fighting the franchise on
the ground that it should not be ex-
elusive, and more trouble is looked
for.

WARM SESSION EXPECTED

PORTLAND, Me. A., e3.-The
twenty-seventh annual meeting of the
National Council, Daughters OF Lib
erty, opened in this city today with
indications pointing 10 lively ses-
sion The all-ahsorbing topic for dis
cussion is the proposed amendment to
the laws Of the order TO enable any
American man TO gain admission.
This matter was before the national
council at its meeting last year at
Detroit. but the proposition was re-
jected by a close vote. At that meet
ing the amendment was brought be-
fore the body as piece of snap leg
iSlatiou, and its introduction was a
surprise to many of the members.
1t Is rumored now that one faction
in the national council is favoring the
amendment and that its members will

ing $500, and a Metropolitan steamer,
costing $4,000.
The water meter gang was repre-
sented at the meeting and kept up
the fight, but as result of a COM
promise one steamer is to be ordered
at this time.
Chief Myers also recommends the
building of pumping station on one
OF the islands at the foot of How
ard street by which water could be
pumped through mains into the busi-
ness district in case of fire without
relying upon the supply from the
main station.

The Falls City Labor assembly and
the Trades Labor council met last
evening for the purpose of complet-
ing arrangements for the labor day
parade September 8. Permission was
granted by Acting Mayor Boyd to use
Occur d'Alene park for the scene of
the festivities. Mayor Boyd, III. L..
Hughes and Mr.. Foss will address

ming at Elks' hall. The arrangements
are in the hands of an executive COM
mittee composed of five members each
of the assembly and council and one
member from each union in the coun-
ell.
If the Washington Water Power
company had offered any induce
ments, the crowd would have gone to
Natatorium park. The company was
of the opinion that it had cinch on
the labor day project because the city
had heretofore refused to let the

try TO force candidates for office to
vote for the change under penalty of
defeating them.
The proposed amendment is re-
garded by many OF the members as
extremely radical in character and IL
is evident that its adoption will be
bitterly contested. At the present
time man must belong either to ths
Order of United American Mechanics
or to the junior order to be eligible

Liberty, These qualifications have
been demanded ever since the organi-
cation has been In existence. The
Daughters of Liberty now have a

O. U. a. NJ contributes 1000, and the
