What CONTRACTOR IS
NOW OWNER OF PAINT
LOST BY F. B. WRIGHT

A quantity of paint belonging to
the F. B. Wright company is report
ed to have disappeared from the cor
ner of Second avenue and Stevens
street, and one story has 1t that it
has been discovered in the camp Of a
prominent contractor of this city.
All authorities are slow in the mat

prominent contractor is withheld, ap-
parently until it is discovered
whether the goods came into his pos
session by hook or crook or just
walked in at the open door.

you pay any man 81 a mile to ride
down to Rockford and fumigate some
pest-ridden house?
Not, you, Mr. Taxpayer. nor did
those same public officials think they
were living UP to their oaths. for in
that same contract with DIR. Morrison
which squanders the public's money
they tried to give a semblance of
authority for their acts by citing
Section 1856 of the statutes as the
authority under which the contract
was made.
For and in consideration of the first
party performing all and singular the
duties prescribed by the state board
Of health as laid down in the Rules
and Regulations thereof provided for
in Section 1855 Of Volume / of Bal
lingeTs Annotated Codes and Statutes
of Washington, AGREE to pay" DR..
Morrison dollar a mile for each and
every mile he travels in prosecution
of his duties as health officer.
The casual reader might think the
section quoted gave authority for the
81 per mile charge, and such a dec
laration was made to The Press.
Upon investigation, however, II is
found that the statute cited provides
no price whatsoever and 1t was en-
tirely in the hands of the commits
sioners what should be paid this
public servant.
Why Is the reference made in the
contract to that section of the code
Just to make 1t look formidable and
to represent TO the unthinkins that

from the pen of Miss Mary M. Maher:
I went today to a quiet house,
Where the Angel of Death has come
And taken a few short weeks ago
A loved one from his home.

His papers and books, all there,
But looked in vain for his kindly
saw only his vacant chair.
0, Angel of Death, you are cruel, I
said,
To take from happy home
This dear one out to the great I'M
known,
O., why did you come?
Oh, he has gone to better place,
Just little while before,
And he will be there to welcome us
When we go to that fairer shore.
A land where partings are all un-
known,
To our home beyond the skies;
Where happy forever he shall be,
Where there are no broken ties.
So came away in the twilight gloom
And left them lonely there,
With only the things he used to prize,
His books, and his vacant chair.
