NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
PEOPLE DEMAND COMPETITION.

Because the Barber Asphalt COM
pany had monopoly in the laying OF
pavement last year is no reason why
the Warren Construction company
should be given a monopoly this year.
The people nave learned something by
experience ana they know that COM
petitive bidding is cheaper and bet
ter for property owners. Either paw
ing company will take all it can get,
but the city council should see that
the people are given square deal.
Property owners along North Fourth
and Elm streets have the same right
to open competition in bidding that
was insisted upon by property owners
along East Alder street. For a ma
jority of the council to assume SUI
perior wisdom and inform owners of
property on North Fourth and Elm
streets that they must take Warren's
bitulithic pavement whether they like
it or not, is an exhibition of AFRO
gance that will not be long tolerated
in a free country. That councilman
should manifest such zeal in behalf
of one company naturally makes the
public took upon them with mis-
givings and suspicion

THE RUSSIAN CONCESSION.

President Roosevelt is entitled to
send in a hurry call for the police to
protect him against his friends. Since
his remarkable feat in holding the
peace conference together, he has been
annoyed by three kinds of gawks VINO
want to show him how much they ap-
preciate MIN.
The first was a crowd of misguided
Jenkineses in Washington who asked
his permission to get up a grand tri
umphal entry for him on his return
to the capital. On these the president
sat heartily and effectively. The Sec
ond class is made of a procession of
people who want to subscribe to he
roic statue of the president as
peacemaker, to be erected on the
grounds of The Hague tribunal To
these the president has applied the
doctrine that they are only mildly in
sane, and will recover if given time
and careful treatment.
The third is the great American
boomer who demands Teddy" for an
other term. Their work was revealed
to the president while he was busy
constructing a critique of a bunch of
rural poems and made him so tired he
nearly roasted the poet.
Meanwhile the president has re-
ceived information of one result of the
peace conference which is of value to
the people of this country. The car
has graciously reduced his tariff on
certain American manufacturers.
The Russian empire mas been for
years collecting an extra tax upon
American manufactures because of
the clause in the Dingley law, which
put special duty upon bounty fed
sugar. This clause was in the Wilson
law, but in different form. The Will
son bill put a definite tax on bounty
aided sugar. This hit both Russia
and Germany, but they got around it
by increasing the bounties to equal
the discriminating tax. The wiseacres
who got up the Dingley bill put In a
clause which made it incumbent upon
the taX-gatherers to collect a tariff
equal to the bounty. This hurt the
Russian beet-sugar industry, and the
empire retaliated upon our manufac-
lures savagely. So for six years the
American manufacturer has been
losing trade in order that sugar might
be overprotected
But still we do not need any re-
vision of the tariff.

ENGINEER THOMsON's REPORT

> Engineer Thomson of Seattle has
submitted his report on the proposed
gravity water system to the city
council and it is printed In full in
today's issue of the Statesman. 1t
is a clear, comprehensive statement of
the result of Mr.. Thomson's investi-
cations and it is worthy of ac
ceptance by the council and the peo-
pie as the conclusions of an expert
hydraulic engines. The report agrees
substantially with the findings and
recommendations of Engineer Weile of
Spokane. The nope of developing an
underground supply on the Harbert
ranch or elsewhere is abandoned as
impracticable, and upper Mill creek
is shown to be the only available source
of an adequate and suitable water
supply for the needs of this rapidly
growing city.
Because of Engineer Thomson's we'll
established reputation as one of the
most competent and reliable hydraulic
engineers on the Pacific coast, his
employ ment by the council to investi-
gate the sources of water supply was
recommended by the Commercial club
with confidence that his recommends
tions would be accepted by the public
as final
The Statesman believes that the re-
port will be received by the public in
that spirit and that the council will
be supported in taking immediate
steps to carry out Engineer Thorn
sons plans.
Thomson, Weile or some other com
petent and reliable engineer should
be employed to superintend the work
of construction of the water system
provided, of course, the people vote
for the bond issue required. No chea1
engineer will do. Work of such mag.
nitude will demand careful super
vision and the city will save none,
In the long run by employing tn,
right kind of superintendent.

eession by six pulls on the trigger, and
without taking the weapon from the
shoulder. Mr.. Hornaday describes it
as "a shoulder Calling gum"
His protest is against the use of
such an instrument of slaughter
amongst the wild game, and ne con-
tends that no decent sportsman would
carry such a murderous weapon.
1t appears, however, that this gun
mas already found it's way into the
Pacific northwest We hear of it's use
in various places, and while we can
not expect to curb the ambition of the
sportsman entirely, it would seem as
if the sentiment of true sportsman
ship would be strong enough to make
it So unpleasant for any man to carry
a gun of this kind while hunting game
birds so unsportsmanlike, that no one
would be willing to do so.
Mr.. Hornaday thinks that the mat
ter is of sufficient Importance to COM
mand the attention of legislatures,
and Shields Magazine says a bill will
be introduced in all legislatures in
session in the United States next WIN
ter to prohibit the use of the auto
matte gun for the hunting of birds. In
all probability such a bill would pass
the Washington Legislature and prob
ably the legislature of Oregon as well.

fund and the sealed letter, but upheld
the three $4,000 requests. These
requests have now been distributed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, and are in
full and continuing force in colleges
covering each state in the union
1t was the sealed letter trust which
caused the comment, it being said
that Mr.. Bryan had used undue inf1u-
ence with Mr.. Bennett to obtain it's
insertion in the WILL The charge of
undue influence was withdrawn and it
appeared that Mr.. Bryan had only a
remote interest in the trust since he
was to retain the money for himself
only with the widows consent, other
wise ne was to distribute it among
colleges.
Mr.. Bryan states that the will con-
test which he felt ne could not in
conscience abandon cost him upwards
Of $500 in attorneys fees and trav-
cling expenses, to say nothing of loss
of time. The unfolding of the $4,000
of requests to colleges is the result,
and notwithstanding considerable an
noyance and some Misrepresentation,
Mr.. Bryan feels amply rewarded for
it all in having the privilege of placing
the funds left by Mr.. Bennett, in such
a way as, he believes, will help the
in this country.

The Bennett will case in which Mr..
w. J. Bryan figured considerably has

made statement of it in the Com

Mr.. Bryan relates that in the spring

New Haven, Conn, called on him TO
draw certain paragraphs of his will.
These paragraphs provided for three

picturesque seaside resort extends all
over the world. The work of the Board

Brothers, and other public spirited cit
liens, in advertising its charms has
been well done and the money SO judic-
iously spent has wrought wonders.
Present indications point to the con-
%struction of some fine hotels, and i'm
mense additions to several others, with
numerous new cottages, by the begin
ming of the season of 1906.
The people of Five Mile Beach are
familiar with the lower end of the is
land, now known as Wildwood Crest.
There is a wonderfully beautiful beach
extending more than a mile along the
surf, and behind it are several hundred
acres of land. This is what is going
on there:
l.. The land is being brought to a
high grade.
2. Water, gas and sewer pipes will
then be laid.
8. Following this the streets will
all be graveled.
4. Cement sidewalks and curbs will
be Immediately made.
5. There will be a broad, deep body
of Water on the west.
6. A large pavilion and wharves
will then be built.
Z. The trolley cars will be extended
through it.

cut up by sand dropped from sand
wagons.

neglect to invest.
