RESERVOIRS

City Engineer Gill said this morn
ing:
There Is some talk of introducing
a resolution at the council meeting
tonight to make an appropriation for
the two reservoirs which are needed
to prevent a water famine this sum-
mer. Unless the council does do some
thing and does it quick there will not
be enough water to supply the city.
THE increased number of taps in
stalled this year will make a heavy
drain on the supply. The proposition
to put in a large reservoir with a
capacity Of 100000 gallons is out
Of the question. 1t would take two
or three years to build 1t, and in the
meantime the city would be as bad
off as ever. The 1000, 900 gallon res
ervoirs would cost only about $4,000,
whereas the large reservoir would
reach figures over 100000"
Councilman Foster is in favor of
the 100000 reservoirs and it is
thought will introduce the ordinance
asking for the appropriation.

NO ARMORY
NO BRIDGE
If They Can not Be Built Without
the Aid of Money From the County
..-Limit of Indebtedness Has Been
Reached,

Spokane county is not broke but the
superfiuous cash on hand is not bur-
den to the treasurer. The limit OF
Indebtedness has been reached. For
this reason the county will not appro-
pirate any funds for an armory or for
the bridge at Fort Wright.
The chamber of commerce officials
approached the county commissioners
some time ago and asked them to issue
bonds for $4,000 with which to erect
the armory. The matter was referred
to Auditor Stewart who prepared Il
statement for the commissioners.
According to this statement the in
debtedness has not as yet exceeded the
l1a per cent of the assessed valuation
allowed under the law. but if the bonds
were issued the Indebtedness would
exceed this amount.
For this reason the commissioners
found they could not at present give
any help toward the armory. For the
same reason it was found impossible
TO appropriate funds for the erection
of the bridge at Fort Wright. Several
members of the chamber of commerce
called ON the commissioners and asked
their aid. 1t was hoped that the county
would appropriate $4,000 or $4,000
towards the bridge.
Can't Give a Cent.
1--WE can't give a cent towards the
bridge said Commissioner Dean. "The
county cannot possibly afford to pay
out monev for the bridge at present
County Auditor Stewart was seen
about the condition of the finances
of the county. He said Until the
county gets in better shape we cannot
hope to appropriate money for the
armory or for the Fort Wright bridge.
The tax levy for this year has been
high-higher than usual. 1t was the
aim of the commissioners to reduce
the debt of the county this year.
Debts Bearing Eight Per Cent.
Heretofore the taxes have just
about kept the county even and have
done nothing towards reducing the
indebtedness. We have lot of old
debts which are drawing 8 per cent
and that is pretty steep. The only way
that we can get out of debt is to keep
a close watch on our expenditures and
not appropriate money for anything
that we can do without.
of we issued $4,000 worth of bonds
we would exceed the indebtedness
allowed by law and the only way to get
around it would be to have the people
vote to issue the bonds.'
$50 we won't have the armory very
soon? was asked.
at doesn't look like it, at present.
replied Mr.. Stewart.

ELECTED INSTEAD
OF HIS FATHER

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 15.--The
Second ward has elected a 16-year-old
boy as a member of the school board
The boy was a pupil but few years
ago. In his first and unconscious po-
litical battle he defeated his father at
the polls.
John C. Koepp, owner of a grocery
store, was candidate for school di-
rector on the citizens and orphans
ticket, while his opponents were
David P. Jones and Jacob Motz. The
republican leaders in their hurried eff
forts to prepare a ticket wanted to
endorse Koepp, but placed the name
of George l.. Koepp on the ticket.
Jones and Motz defeated the elder
Koepp for the three-ycar term and
the son was elected for the year
term over r. w. Wagner. An appeal
will be made to the courts on the
ground that Koepp Is a minor and in
eligible.

TELLURIDE, Colo, March rs
One hundred members of the Citizens
alliance heavily armed last night raided
the homes of the union miners and
sympathizers and forced them to march
to the depot where they were placed
aboard an outgoing train at 2 o'clock
this morning. The mob warned the
union men not to return on pain of
death. Resistance by the union men
in several cases brought down upon
them severe beatings. A number of the
mob were well known businessmen.

WIDOW GIVES TESTIMONY.

Ernest Fournier. a 14-year-old mes
senger boy, residing at 6S3 San Jose
avenue. was placed on the stand. He
said he was going home on the night
of November and heard loud talking
coming from the Dirking residence
He placed his bicycle against the fence
and listened. Field was outside of the
partly opened door, trying to force
his way into the house, and was strik-
ing some one. Dirking then came out
and said, you had better get away
from here" Field then stepped back
and fired a shot at Dirking. Dirking
followed Field up the hill toward Cali
fornia avenue. CroSs-examination
failed to shake the boys testimony al
though the defense adopted the same
tactics in regard to testimony given
at the preliminary hearing.
Mrs. Clementina Dirking, the widow
was next called upon to relate her
story. Her testimony was practically
the same as given by Fritz Dirking,
with the additional information that
Field had struck her with the bar
while she was endeavoring to keep
him out. District Attorney Byington
attempted to show by this witness that
from bruises on Mrs. FIELDS body after
the tragedy her husband had also
struck her, but the court sustained an
objection. During the recital of her
testimony Mrs. Dirking's eyes filed
with tears on more than one occasion.
Cross examination of the same char
acter to which the preceding witness
had been subjected failed to shake her
testimony.
Sergeant Blank testified to making
the arrest and subsequent events and
Assistant Bond Clerk Bernard Flood
told about taking the dying statement
An adjournment was then taken until
to-day at 10 a. m.
