theory of DIR. 7. w. Lauterborn of East

DR.. Lauterborn advocates the use of

snuffles.
"This is no joke" he says. 'T know

Doing this three times a day, the
doctor says he has yet to encounter any
cold in the head, throat or chest that
could resist the sledge hammer longer

draws the blood away from the swoll-

WILL SCOTT OR WElLE GET JOB
OF INSTALLING WATER
SYSTEM?
Warm Session Of Council Scheduled
for night-WeiIe Will Be
On Hand.

A great fight over the employment
of an engineer to superintend the in
stallation of Walla Walla's proposed
gravity water system is expected to
occur at tonights council meeting.
Councilman Glasford is said to be
leading the forces that favor the
employment of Otto Weile. the Spo-
kane engineer, while three members
of the council are holding out for En-
gineer Thomson's protege H. w.
Scott, first chief in Tnomson's Seattle
office. One member of the board it
is said is on the fence and neither side
is able to say just where he will land
when it comes to show down. al
though it is said. he has a leaning to-
ward the Thomson side, taking the
view that should Scott be given the
job the installation of the system will
be done under the direction of En-
gineer Thomson, who is acknowledged
to be at the top of his profession and
an expert on water systems not sur
passed by eastern engineers.
Mr.. Thomson is quoted as saying
that it is a matter of indifference to
iAil w AiO IhS SiSy SihpiOSS " SOIlSlI uCI
the new system. The only interest he
takes in the matter is professional
pride in seeing a project carried
through that he recommended. The
proposition to furnish Scott at the
small monthly salary of $3.50 is point
ed out by the Thampson adherents
to substantiate the engineers disin-
terestedness in the matter.
WeiIe to Be Here.
Engineer Weile is expected to be
on hand at tonight's meeting to sub
NIT a proposition to superntend the
proposed extension of the water sys-
tenn. Just what kind of a PROPOSE
ton he will make the council no one
seems to know. He was invited to
meet with the council at the sugges-
ton of Councilman Glasford and his
employment is said to be favored by
three members of the council who
have stood at the back of the War
rem Construction company in secur-
ing valuable paving contracts.
The ordinance submitted by Engi-
neer Thomson will probably come up
at tonight's meeting. The ordinance
embOdies the plans of the council in
extending the water system and pro-
vides for the issuance of $235.0O0 gen.

scheduled to be a warm one and an
overflow audience is expected to be on

Frederick U. Adams arraigns the rail-
roads of the country for their criminal

and safety appliances which would
materially reduce the annual slaughter
due to train accidents. He accompan-

mepting on the characteristic delay
which railways employ in installing
safety gates at grade crossings, Mr..
Adams explains why the companies
refuse to protect the people who are
exposed to danger at these points. 1t
is cheaper to pay damages for the dead
and MANNED than to pay for the oper-
alton Of the gates. 1t was cheaper for
the railroads to pay damages for the
loss Of life and limb which the old
style couplers involved. They op-
posed the law to compel the adoption
of the automatic coupler. 1t was less
expensive to have brakemen lose
hands, legs, arms, and occasionally
lives than to buy safety coupling de-
vices. The same reason explains the
unwillingness of the railroads to in
stall the block signal system. 1t is
cheaper to kill people than TO PIT in
the sytem which would save lives.
While this explanation seems to brand
railway owners with the most in
human motives, yet, when analysed
more closely, it will be found to pen
citrate to the marrow the whole sub
jcct. Human life is cheaper than
safety appliances. So long as the
comparative cheapness Of human life
and limb enables the railroads doing
an interstate business to pay dam.
