CALIFORNIA THE WINTER RE
SORT.

To those who wish to escape the
discomforts of cold weather, Cali
fornia presents a great variety of re-
sorts. The mild, dry climate Of San
Jose and Los Gatos. the soft sea
breezes Of Pacific Grove and Catalina
island, and the varied attractions OF
numerous other resorts, all entice the
pleasure seeker with the assurance
of perpetual summer.
The trip to California via the Shas-
ia Route Of the Southern Pacific COM
pany is one of great interest and
pleasure, passing through the fertile
valleys of western Oregon, near grand
old Mount Shasta. in northern Cali
fornia, and through the Sacramento
valley.
Round trip reduced rate tickets can
be purchased at Spokane to Los An.
geles, allowing stopovers in either d.
rection. enabling passengers to stop
at all the places of interest en- route.

TO EXTEND TO WALLACE

After the road is placed in good
running order the grade is to be grad
ually improved until freight can be
hauled. The distance from Occur
d'Alene to Wallace will be 60 miles.
The cost of construction is estimated
at 100000 and the better part of a
year will be consumed in placing the
road in running condition.
A prominent citizen of Spokane who
is familiar with the proposition said:
There is no doubt but what the
road will be built. l do not think
that the beginning of construction
will be delayed any later than the
first of the year. and it is possible
that the work may begin during the
next few months. On the start the
company will only handle passengers
and light freight. l think the new
road will make II possible to make
the trip between Spokane and Wal
lace via Occur d'Alene in about three
hours. The road will get all the pass
enger trade, which will amount to
from 400 to 500 passengers per day

CONTRACTOR COSTELLO
DOES NOT OBEY Law

II now appears that Contractor
Peter Costello did not obey the or
ders of the board of public works.
He was notified by them to comply
with the law and not work his men
more than eight hours per day. The
penalty for a failure to obey the
board was stated in the notice to be
a cancellation of his contract.
Costello promised, when the notice
was served, that he would no longer
work his men nine hours. He did not
keep his promise.
Saturday Costello appeared before
Commissioner ONO and begged to be
permitted to continue to work his
men nine hours. He said ii would
mean a loss to him of over $1,000 if
he could not do so. Mr.. ONO told him
he must obey the law.
Commissioner Handley said this
morning that the board had not been
advised by the corporation counsel
how to proceed in the matter.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-01-23

Il assume We must have a meeting
and have proof submitted to US that
the law is being violated" said he,
and then We can legally cancel the
contract. Until this proof is made
we have no power to act.
Commissioner ONO expressed him
self today as displeased with Cos
tello's action.
He promised me Friday to comply
with the law" said Mr.. ONO, and
Saturday he admitted that he was
working his men nine hours"
Costello appeared before the com
missioners thi safternoon and gave
them positive assurances that he
would comply with the eight-hour
law.
He said, however, that he had been
advised that a decision of the SUI
preme court to be handed down about
the last of this week would change
the Interpretation of the law.
