WATER ron TIE FAIRGROUNDS
OF TIE COUNTRY CLUE OUT
SIDE OF TIE CITY LIMITS, BUT
MOVIE ron COMMON l1o1rALs
INSIDE TIE CxTx.

There are some people in Spokane
who propose to show the city council
that even people in moderate circum-
stances have some rights and that
the wealthy young men of the city
who amuse themselves with golf and
other pastimes at the grounds of the
country club are not the only persons
who are entitled to consideration at
the hands of the city. A suit for
damages may be commenced to dem
onstrate this.
No Water.
There are hundreds of people in
Spokane living especially in Liberty
Park and vicinity who day after day
are compelled to put up with a water
famine. They do not have drop
of water in the pipes for many hours
in the day and are told when they
complain to the city authorities that
the city is unable to supply the de-
mand. At the same time that this
condition exists the city council pro-
ceeds to pass an ordinance allowing
the country club all the water it
wishes for it's lawns and Fairgrounds,
which are not even within the city
limits
Toadying to the Club.
The residents of the First ward
say this may be all right, but that it
looks very much like a proposition
to to9dy to certain society people
and grant them everything they want
hat
mon everyday citizen must sit up
nights and catch water in buckets to
supply him the next day with the
actual necessities and that to keep
lawn is out of the question. In
order to secure some recognition they
propose to bring a lawsuit and ask
the court to grant them damages for
the lack of water, which they claim
is direct injury to their property
when they come to place it on the
real estate market, and that it is a
further injury and cause for dam
ages because of the annoyances aris-
ing from the trouble and impossible
ity to secure water for household pur-
poses They now talk of banding to-
gether to sue the city for damages on
the ground that the CITY is obligated
to furnish them with water.
Mr.. Weymouth Refuses.
The officers of the Country club
went to the city commissioners and
talked over the project of granting
the club city water. Mr.. Weymouth
said he would never give his consent
while the people inside of the city
limits were not being supplied with
all the water which they need.
F. II. Mason and other officers of
the club then ignored the board and
went to the city council and had an
ordinance passed allowing the club to
use water as much as it chooses for
sll its grounds on payment of a meter
rate. The council did not even con-
suit the board about it.

The Thornton hotel, the city's most

of investors who might be inclined to

inches wide and of 1nsounded depth

Robert Abernethy has purchased
the building on Sprague avenue adj
Joining Davenport's restaurant on the
west, which he will remove to make
room for the larger building to be
built by Mr.. Lang. Mr.. Abernethy
will tear down the building, which is
of brick, and with the material he
will erect another store building on
property belonging to him, which lies
on the east side of Mill street be-
tween Railroad avenue and Second
avenue.
The building being torn down has a
5O-foot frontage. Mr.. Abernethy's
building will have a frontage Of 60

church. Elaborate plans were made
for one of the most imposing churches
of the city and plans were drawn by
an architect and accepted. Knowing
the unstable condition of the ground
Father Callahan, the pastor, took every
precaution to prevent recurrence of
the Thornton hotel trouble. Masonry
ten feet thick was built and sunk twice
the ordinary depth, girded and bound
with steel bands, and the whole foun-
dation was buttressed on each corner
from 20 feet below the surface to the
top of the first story.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-05-14

Three months after the work had
been completed the pastor, who had
set his heart on brick church, arose
one morning to find the masonry torn
asunder, from side to side, the girders
broken like straws and crack in the
walls that a cat could crawl through.
Biologists in Butte ascribe the slid
ing movement to the fact that the en-
tire city is honeycombed with mines,
running in all direct, ms beneath its
most central portions. In the Slopes

In the case of the old St. James
hotel, which has shifted so fearfullg
that the two top stories are out OF

condemned as unsafe. An addition

Jake and His Pledges.

Scott first, last and all the time"
announces the Hon. Jacob Sny der,
and he adds: "They may quote
what I said a year ago, but 1t Is
what say right now that will
count"
That's the point, Jake has dag
nosed his case exactly. It's what
he says In the present tense that
means any thing-not what he said
yesterday-and his meaning Is apt
to last only while the present tense
exists.
A year ago Jake solemuly an.
nounced over his signature that he
was for Col. Henry Schmulbsch
first, last and all the time. But
that was year ago-and a year Is
a long time for the word of Jake to
last.
Where hts affiliations will find
him tomorrow no one, including
the able Senator himself May say.
Bets are freely made, however, that
the fckle Ohio county statesman
will support Col. Schmulbach, his
first choice for various reasons,
when 1t comes to the final show
down, although meanwhile his
pledged support may run the en-
tire gamut of Senatorial candidates.
Certainly Senator Scott can not
count on him when Jake again ex-
ercises the prerogative of the wise
man and changes his mind.
At any rate the Senator from
Ohio county adds piquancy to the

With the other a fiery face she

A Yankee with a soft felt hat;
A Coptic priest from Ararat;
An English girl with cheeks of rose;
A Nihilist with Socratic nose;
Paddy from Cork with baggage light
And pockets stuffed with dynamite;
A naughty Southern Readjuster
Wrapped in his pride and linen dus-

Two noisy New York stock brokers
And twenty British globe trotters.
To my disgust and vast surprise
They turned on me lacx-lustre eyes,
And each with dropped and wagging

Burst out into a wild guffaw:
They laughed with huge mouths

They roared till each one held his

Trembled no tear; from her dear
throat
Bubbled sweet and silvery note
OF girlish laughter, shrill and clear,
That all the statues seemed to hear.
The bronzes tinkled laughter fine;
l heard a chuckle argentine
Ring from the silver images;
Even the ivory netsukes
Uttered in every silent pause
Dry, bony laughs from tiny jaws;
The painted monkeys on the wall
Walked up with chatter impudent;
Pottery, porcelain, bronze, and all
Broke out in ghostly merriment-
Faint as rain pattering on dry leaves,
Or cricket's chirp on summer ewes.
And suddenly upon my sight
There grew a portent: left and right,
On every side, as If the air
Had taken substance then and there,
In every sort OF form and face,
A throng of tourists filled the place.
