COUNCIL is OBEDlENT.
Spokane People Will Vote on Franchis-
es, If They Wish.

SPOKANE, March 31.-The Spo-
charter amendment to the people at
the election in May the amendment to
provide that when Is per cent of the
electors of the city shall SO petition,
the council SHALL submit any public
utility franchise ordinance to a vote of
the people.
The council only voted to submit the
charter amendment after the members
had been ordered to do so by the SUI
perior court.
The move is a step in the fight of the
Independent Telephone, Gas and EIec-
trio Light companies to secure fran
chises from Spokane. J. B. Lindsey,
Of Spokane, two years ago, when a
member of the legislature, secured the
passage of a law directing the city
council on a petition of a certain per
submit to the vote of the people char
ter amendment, which in turn would
provide that franchise ordinances may
be cubmitted to vote of the people.
Under this law LOO Spokane sign
ers petitioned the council to submit
such a charter amendment. Mr.
Lindsey, now a member of the coun-
Gil, has opposed submitting this
amendment, but with the other mem
bers of the council, he was commanded
by the court under his own bill to sub
NIT it. Corporations opposing the
amendment hope to secure the inter-
ference of the supreme court.

PROSPECT ENCOURAGING FOR AN
EXCELLENT YIELD IN THE
NORTHWEST
General Market Is Rather Weak, Due
to the Softening Tone Of Quo
tations Abroad


the crop situation, there is very little
to the. wheat market at present
There is certainly an encouraging
prospect for an excellent yield OF
grain for the Pacific Northwest, SO
far as the season has developed, says
the West Coast Trade. Not only is
the area under crop greater than at
any previous period, but sowing have
been practically completed several
weeks in advance of the average, and
just in time to get the full benefit of
the splendid rails that were very gener-
al throughout the grain belt last week
1t often happens that in a season like
the present, when the snowfall is not
up to the average, that the amount of
rain coming from now on to harvest
is considerably in excess of normal,
conditions for the maturing Of the
crop.
the supplying of current wants from
the mills, but there is nothing doing
Of consequence in any direction. The
general market is rather weak, due
in part to the softening quotations
abroad, and in some measure to the
fact that consumption at home has
not met expectations. Locally, prices
hold somewhat nominal, with bluestem
at SO Sc and club and red about SIC.
Dun's Review says: The govern
ment's estimate of wheat in farmers
hands, issued at the close of last week,
showed 21,OOO,OOO bushels less wheat
in first hands than a year ago or ILL.,
100000 bushels col per cent? against
This is the smallest amount so held
since 1897, when the reserves were es-
timated at SS,149,00O bushels. Com
bined with the visible supply on March
1, of 36,52S,OOO bushels, the total sup
plies east of the Rocky mot .tains were
167,52S,OO0 bushels, compared with
1913, 1875, 900 bushels last year, and 211,-
$4,000 bushels two years ago. The
average weight of the last wheat crop
is placed at 55.5 pounds per bushel,
against STA pounds the previous year,
a decreased 1.9 pounds, equal to 3.3
per cent. This is a decrease of 1S,000,-
900 bushels Of wheat of the same
weight of the 1903 crop, so that on this
basis the crop of last summer would
amount to only 534,0O0,0O0 bushels,
against the government estimate in
quantity of $4,000 bushels. The
crop situation in Europe continues
very favorable, but reports from India
are still very pessimistic, the weather
very unfavorable and the supplies of
old wheat practically exhausted. If
this is correct, the falling off of the
contributions from there will probably
result, which will be felt in European
importing countries, owing to their de-
pening on Indian wheat to offset the
absence of United States and Canadian
shipments. Thus far India has shipped
about 63,OO0,OOO bushels, or nearly
double the amount during the same
period of 1904.

opium and China.

William Edgar Cell, who has trav-
eled much in China, thinks that the
great popularity Of the Chinaman Ia
that he lives in q fictitious environ
ment. To him the world is one of
unrealities. He worships demons.
Enormous sums of money are paid
by the Chinese to locate the devil.
Coal mines are not worked because
it is held to be wicked to disturb
the demon who lives in the bowels
of the earth. "Shall we drive shafts
into his back !" the Chinaman asks.
One misfortune is the common use
Of opium. 'Vast sections of the
land are devoted to the growth Of
the poppy On the steamboats,, -

houses, everywhere, men lie down
and smoke opium. It is natioia:

LOUISVILLE. KY, Jan. 1.-THE
biggest theft in point of volume of
booty ever pulled or in Louisville was
reported to the police by Louis Dink-
elspiel, who says three-room, brick
cottage in Arbegust street, between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets.
has been carried away.
The cottage was one of three which
Mr.. Dinkelspiel purchased when he
heard the Southern Railway COM
pany intended laying switch through
the site where they stood. Two of
them were frame. and these were at
once demolished by Mr.. Dinkelspiel
and carried away. He then ordered
the workmen to begin on the brick cot
tage, but after they had removed the
doors and windows the bad weather
caused suspension of the task.
From facts cleaned by Corporal
Mayer, it is apparent that after the
laborers ceased their work other men
continued the tearing down of the
house.
Brick by brick the cottage was
tossed into a cart and hauled away.
No suspicion attached to their actions
as all who saw them supposed they
were employed by Mr.. Dinkelspiel.
They appeared to be perfectly at ease
at the work. Even the stone founda-
ton was removed.
When Mr.. Dinkelspiel went to the
place the cottage was gone and he re-
ported the theft to the police.

Drink Is q SPORT.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Sir Thomas
Dewar, the Scotch distiller who dis
covered the 'highball," and was then
knighted by his grateful sovereign, is
in New York. having arrived here on
the Hamburg American steamship
Graf Waldersee. His visit to America
is for the purpose of witnessing the
Florida this month. He will be one of
the referees and has offered a cup for
race. Sir Thomas has lived in Lon
don for twenty years and represents
a metropolitan district in parliament,
although he comes from an ancient
family of whisky makers of Perth,
Scotland, and in character and ap-
pearance he is distinctly Scotch.
He discovered the 'highbalr' four
teen years ago, long before he received
his title. Being then plain Mr. Dewar
he could go to places where such dis
coveries are made.
1T came about in this way" he said,
today. Il was walking along Broad
way with several frinds when one of
them asked me to go into saloon and
have a ball AS 1 was in that humor
myself I consented. When we made
our wants known to the bartender, he
placed before us small whisky glasses.
"'Beastly small glasses remarked
my friend.
Il suggested to the bartender that
he give us high glasses so that my
companion could have a highball,' and
thus be satisfied. He found the right
kind of glasses. and We had what
have been told was the first Scotch
highball.' At the time of the discov-
cry Of the high bali I was president
of the English baseball club and was
in America to arrange for the opening
of a baseball park in London With
the cooperation of r. G. Knowles l
afterward established the enterprise,
but it was not a success. English
men preferred football. They have not
since changed.
THE London baseball park remained
in existence for about ten years. 1t
was popular among the Americans in
England, but it was decided to have
the gaines at the Crystal palace and
the park was closed"
Sir Thomas descends from genera
tons Of distillers. He was knighted
when King Edward VII assembled the
throne.

GaxbgiArding Railroad Patrons.
That the almost daily reports Of H.
hl railway disasters in the United
States have impaired public confidence
In the present methods Of the great
transportation companies is admitted
BY railroad officials. though they assert
that, in proportion to the number Of
passengers carried and the number Of
employees, accidents are fewer in their
business than in any other trade or In
dustry. The railroads have recognized
the necessity Of establishing more ami
cable relations between themselves
and the public by the adoption of ex-
pensive safety devices and by more
liberal treatment Of injured travellers
and survivors Of those killed. They
have not, however, SO far been able
to eliminate the personal equation of
incompetent and careless workmen.
This point was taken up by the recent
fourteenth annual meeting Of the rail-
road surgeons of New England and
New York. Addressing the surgeons.
Mr.. J. D. M. Hamilton. chief claims
attorney of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fee, said:
This cause of trouble would be elm
mated IL all tho states Of the Union would
pass laws requiring railroad employees
10 qualify for employment by mental and
- n1vot n.
ment sees At to protect the people by
civil service system In public once 1t
seems only just that the railroads a. pub
lie carriers should do the same to insure
safe service. The clamor for fast trains
and the increase in the tonnage have
made the danger Of accidents great. par
ticularly when the present chance of in
competent employees exists. The time has
come for laws to b enacted to require
greater competency.
Mr.. Hamilton Also reviewed the e.
Enlistment of the claims departments
Of the railway companies, credit1ng
them with having done much to ap-
pease popular wrath over unavoidable
accidents. The railroads have learned
that it pays to settle just claims
VHVkARIAy 000 akAAAC00Ay A0SAA~e eA~s~AA W.
fight all claims without discrimination.
The old system, he said, raised great
prejudice against the railroads, the
minds of Jurors even were predisposed
against the railroads. and the political
aspirant had to give promise of an
tagonism against them whether they
were right or wrong.
OF the railway hospital service Mr..
Hamilton said:
The maintenance Of hospitals by the
railroads il calculated to bring about q
better feeling and. on the railroads point
Of view, prevents the victim Of an acci-
dent from falling into the hands OF UNI
scrupulous lawyers and makes the matter
Of a Just settlement Of damages more easy
Of adjustment. Under this system the
railroads give every aid and assistance
to the injured and thereby establish
friendly relations between the public and
the railroad.
