policy of few property owners.
Tacoma and other coast cities are
paving their residence districts.
We should do the same. Both First
avenue and Pacific avenue and q
stretch of Riverside avenue in
Brownies addition should be paved
and at once. And this paved dis
trict should be connected with the
business section by pavements on
Sprague and Riverside avenues. A
study of the rise of values In newly
paved sections of this and other
cities will prove the investment
would be a good one.
The weakness of the paving prop
osition in Spokane is the method of
determining upon whether or not a
street should be paved. In nearly
all cities, including our rival, Ia
coma, the matter is absolutely in
the hands of the city government
and 1t can order a street paved
whenever it sees fit. Malcontent
property owners can not block the
good work. The street designated
for paving is paved whether or no.
If property owners do not get
more philosophical, a change in
system is the only hope for Spo-
kane in the race for the reputation
as the most beautiful city west Of
the Rockies.

ROOSEVELT'S VISIT
TO new ORLEANS

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. 49,
The president today sent a tele-
gram to the mayor of New Orleans:
Nothing has been nearer my
heart this summer than the well
fare of the people of Louisiana and
New Orleans. Each day the first
information sought has been of the
progress making in the fighting
against the scourge. My trip south
begins October Is and | expected
to arrive in New Orleans on the
Gath. If the people desire me to
come then, | shall do so. If they
desire me later l will make a spe-
cial trip for the express purpose OF
visiting Louisiana and Arkansas.
wish you to consider the wishes of
the people of Louisiana and also
the quarantine regulations of other
states in SO far as they may be
affected by my entering them after
leaving your state, | shall do what
ever the people of New Orleans and
Louisiana wish on the subject, sub

This condition is not because we

of public spirit and nerve on the
part of our property owners.
No street can be paved in this
city without a petition from a ma

front-foOt basis.
These petitions are not forthcom-

There is no question but that the
two great arteries of travel leading
into the country, Sprague avenue

Will CITY S0[0NS
KNUCKLE AGAIN TO
WATER POWER GO.

At tomorrow nights council
meeting the city salons will deter
mine whether or not the Washing
ton Water Power company can
force the city to put up several
thousand dollars to build or repair
the Howard street third channel
bridge, or whether the company
will be held to the original provis-
ions of it's franchise.
In the franchise granted the COM
pany last spring there are provis-
ions which state the company shall,
before laying its tracks over the
third channel bridge, repair the
structure to such an extent that it
shall be perfectly safe for street
car traffic.
The street commissioners in ask
ing for appropriations for the COM
ing year include certain sums for
repairs to this bridge or for a new
wooden structure or new steel
structure.
A wooden bridge will cost ap-
proximately $4,000. A steel struc-
ture will cost about $4,000. Both
of the above estimates are by City
Engineer Mcintyre.
The taxpayers would like to know
why the city should pay a single

cent toward repairing the old or
building new bridge?
City Engineer Mcintyre says now
that the old bridge can not be re-
paired and that a new one is neces-
sary.
Why did not the city officials
know this when they gave the
Washington Water Power company
a franchise over this bridge and
provide specifically for new one ?
That, the taxpayer has a right to
know.
Instead they granted franchise
providing only for repairing an old
structure at the expense of the
company getting it. That company
is now claiming it should not pay
for a new bridge, if the city engi-
neer says the old one is unfit for
use for street car purposes.
The conclusion of this company
is not logical one. If the old
bridge can not be repaired for
street car purposes, it follows most
logically that that company should
build a new one.
Ii the city grants one cent of
the peoples money to the Wash
ington Water Power company for
a new bridge, it is case of grab

and graft and is without license or
authority.
The company is willing to pay
half, it says. The Northern Pacific
railway is willing to pay half for
raising it's tracks. The people say
no to the N. P.'s proposition. If
given a chance, they would just as
quickly say no to this one of the
water power company.
The city don't need a street car
track on Howard street. 1t will
menace public safety by interfering
with the fire apparatus at best. The
people in Corbin Park were opposed
to this franchise, in any shape. The
truck drivers and teamsters were
opposed to it. 1t was a free gift
in face of great public opposition.
Yet-after boodling this I'M
sought, opposed, uncalled for fran
chise through the city council
getting it for nothing-upon q
promise to repair a bridge. this
monopolistic corporation has the
supreme nerve to ask the taxpayers
to help it build new bridge upon
which to lay it's tracks-and our
sychophantic counciImen may rea.
sonabIy be expected to grant the re-
quest tomorrow night.

SWMMINGPOOL
AND TYPHOID

The statement in the morning or
gan of the allied concupiscent mo-
nopolies of the city to the effect
that young Stinebaugh's death is
the first fatal accident at Natator-
ium park has caused gossip to start
rummaging. It may have been the
first fatal accident, but there are
parents in this fair city of Spokane
who have been bereaved by typhoid
fever who would feel relieved If
they knew with positiveness
which brooked no doubt that their
loved ones had not contracted the
fell disease through contamination
in the swimming tank at Natatori-
UNI, which is cleansed, not disin-
fected. only after hundreds OF
bodies have been laved.
when was the swimming tank
absolutely known to have been
cleansed and disinfected," is one
of the questions asked. The asser-
ton has been made that the water
was changed once week during
the past season. Typhoid has
cropped out and in such a manner
as to lead people to believe that
it may have been contracted right
in that swimming tank. They do
not know, but they would like to be
certain before they lay the accuse
ton at the door of beneticent in
stitution.

FQRT1=0DD CLUB HAS
CHANGED CHARACTER

Once more the Forty-odd club has
come to earth, but this time for a
good long stay, apparently.
No more small club to take
part in city and county elections,
but proposition that may be able
to handle the entire state.
The Forty-odd club has become a
fraternal society and will expand
all over the Pacific coast. A sick
benefit of SIS per week has been
instituted and one man has been
drawing on the society for the last
three months.
In speaking of the new society
Charles b. Nash said: I'VE have
organized practically new club
and have made 1t fraternal so
ciety. We are today paying sick
benefit of SIS per week and may
make it more if the society de-
mands.
Il expect to see all the cities on
this coast in our society in the
near future. We have had letters
from all the large towns and they
all express desire to expand the
club and make it a fraternal So
ciety In fact, the original idea of
changing the Spokane club came
from a letter from Everett asking
us to expand the society and start
one in Everett. | am almost posi-
tive one of our members, probably
our president, A. j. Gardner. will go
to the coast cities and start our so
ciety there.
