The dam and water power at the
pumping station are pronounced suf-
hcient at present, but Mr.. Tanning
declares more power will soon be
needed.
The Lidserwood standpipe is done
away with by this plan.
Mr.. Tanning says that with the di-
rect pressure in the new mains and
the reservoir pressure the best sery-
ice of water and pressure that can
be had will be given in the downtown
business portion of the city and will
satisfy the insurance companies.
Mr. Tanning explained that the
water commission people had told
him that they selected the Stage site
because the council held them down
to an expenditure of $350,0OO.
No such order was made by the
council to the commission. The COM
mission figured $35O,O00 on wood
pipe. Steel pipe was 100000 more
and the water commission forces, so
woefully defeated, give this as an ex-
cuse to the eminent engineer.
Under the plan of Mr.. Tanning the
Cliff Park site is the best adapted
but will not be needed for a few
years to come.
City Engineer Gill's plan, so bit
terly opposed by the water commits
sion forces, is entirely vindicated by
the report of Mr.. Tanning.

down Sprague avenue and the water

reservoir to keep that storage water
from becoming stagnant
The Mission avenue 80 inch main
will supply the down town section
and the overflow will go into the res
ervoir Distributing mains will be
extended from the 80 inch main.
The lowest altitude is 1900 feet
above sea level in Peaceful Valley.
The highest is 2400 feet on the hill
The reservoir at Ninth and Pine will
be 2115 feet above sea level.
A direct pressure line is given to
supply the Mantle Park district, and
from this service two pipe lines from
the east side mains will be run to
Lidgerwood district, giving an ample
supply In an extreme emergency the
Cook Hill standpipe can be connected
with the reservoir mains.
The supply to the North Side will
be practically direct from the Cooks
Hill standpipe.
When the north service increases
and the Cooks hill standpipe goes out
of service. a new reservoir on the
Cliff Park site is to be built.
The plans will put out of service
the wooden tank and electric pump at
Mantle Park, the two electric pumps
on the hill and the Monroe street
standpipe.

vain for any reference to the water
meters as a business necessity.
At 1870 o'clock this afternoon En-
giEeer Tanning began to describe the
results of his inspection of the plans
and the needs of the city in connec-
ton with an improved water service.
Although interrupted repeatedly by
one of the water commission support
ers who tried to squeeze in on wood
pipe, Mr. Tanning got through the
report rapidly, the councilmen and
the mayor and city engineer paying
close attention and asking no ques-
tions until the expert got through.
Mr.. flaming devoted the first part
of his oral report to the loss of press
ure, which. he said, was the chief
trouble. After showing by figures
the excessive loss of pressure, he de-
scribcd the three zones for which the
water system would be arranged, the
low service zone, the intermediate
and the high service up on the hill.
For immediate relief he proposes a
80 inch main from the pumping sta
ton down Mission avenue to Hamil-
ton south, on Hamilton to Olive and
over Olive to Front and Division
streets, thence direct to the proposed
reservoir at Ninth avenue and Pine
street. This will give to the business
section immediate and sufficient fire
protection.
Another "a inch main will be run

DOG POISON
THROWN ABOUT

A wholesale poisoning of dogs on
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues from
Stevens street west has been reported
to the police.
Yesterday and today four or five
valuable dogs belonging in that neigh
borhood have been poisoned.
Neighbors are making a search and
have found pieces of poisoned meat
distributed along the avenue. One
woman telephoned this afternoon that
she found several pieces of poisoned
meat.
Two dogs were poisoned this after
noon and were found dead at Fourth
avenue and Mill street.
The owners of dogs in that neigh
borhood have asked for an officer to
watch for the person or persons scat
tering the meat, which, it is believed,
is done early in the morning.

HAS REVIEW HAD A
CHANGE OF HEART?
Is the Spokesman-Revie eating crow9

Is the Spokesman Review eating crow9
Have the sesuts obtained by Nelson w. Durlams
insane fight for a railroad commission developed so
rapidly that the tall tower must turn to tawn and
toady to the railroads has roundly abused in order
to protection against the conditions brought about
by rabd Durhamsm?
The drift of stories anen the traffic mems visit to Spo
kane this morning certainly indicates that last the tall
tower tribe realizes the difficulties into which the obbers
and shippers of Spokane placed by the decduous VIC
tory of Nelson w. Durham in the railroad commission
tange.
In opposing the railroad commission The Press pointed
out the disastrous effects would would nure to the Spo
kane obbers. At that time the Spokesman Review de-
clared it to be coarse abuse and villifcation.'
But with meticulous truhfulness unusual with that
awful insensate enemy of the railroads. the Spokesman
Review, this morning, says:
with the Inauguration OF the new railway commls-
sion in this state the railway expect crusade by
coast obbers for the annumen Of special distributing
rates of Spokane whereby this city protected IN It's
obbina industry for radius of 100 miles The traffic di
rectors expect that the coast towns will call tor similar
low rates. which will enable them to invade this field
Should the commission by chance grant this demand
according to the traffic directors the railways will still
protect Spokane by the class rates which are to be
put In effect.
Isn't this exactly what has been argued by The Press
and denied by the Spokesman Review-aways with the
exception that until now the tall organ did not go
down on it's bones to plead with those awful rail
road magnates to "protect Spokane"s
The Spokesman Review worked an injury to Spokane
shippers by trickily putting through railroad commits
sion bill by declaring the railroads to be thieves
Now the mouthpece of Durhamsm is assuring the
shippers that the railroads will protect Spokane from
the railroad commission!
Truly it was time for Traffic Manager Stubs to poke
fun at the Spokane shippers in that truly brilliant talk of
his last night which he closed with the following invita-
ton to Ego to Hades':
1T offensive to in any sense to be up against
the warfare of every day in my life SO can come
to Spokane and listen requests of shippers for
thing they should have according to the best thoughts
of those represent and feel comfortable about as
1 had just granted them everything they asked"
The blame should be placed where it belongs
The Spokesman Review and Durhamism brought
about the railroad commission against the wishes of the
railroads and the Spokane shippers.
Now the tall tower tribe, with honeyed pleadings is
irving to induce the railroads to protect' Spokane
