CATTLE PLAY HAVOC
With D|LLMAN LAWNS

Mrs. F. X. Dillman, living at Fifth
avenue and Ash street, would like to
find a city employe willing to exert
his authority in behalf Of taxpayers.
Mrs. Dillman has a real grievance.
With the early appearance of
spring days, Mrs. Dillman started in
to beautify her property A new lawn
was put in at considerable expense,
and the money saved through not
buying a water meter was used to
make pretty grass plot.
The night after the lawn was COM
pleted a drover took big bunch Of
cattle through the streets. When the
cattle reached that new tenderly nur-
tured lawn they broke over the curb
and started in on a grass lunch along
side of which a menu from Daven-
ports looked like a fifteen center
with two stems included.
Some of the cattle even broke into
the woodshed, looking for more feed
BY the time the stock got away
from the lawn it was wholly ruined

II. w. Scott, assistant city engi-
neer of Seattle arrived here today
and Immediately upset the program
which had been arranged and agreed
upon between the other two members
of the water commission and City
Engineer GIL.
The agreement was that the water
commission plans had been modified
to the extent of correcting the fail
ure to supply the North Side and
that when the commission met again
that 1t would go over the plan OF
the city engineer.
Instead of this Mr.. Scott insisted
upon the city engineer submitting
what changes he thought would be
necessary in bringing about the adop-
ton Of the water commission plans.
The plan Of Mr.. Scott, as offered, 10
to refuse to entertain any PROPOSE
lions except those which would amend
the water commission plans.
During the entire forenoon the
members of the water commission,
Professor Waller. Otto Weile and IL.
W. Scott. refused to discuss the Gil
plans ana insisted upon a secret ses-
sion. At noon they notified the city
engineer that they would call upon
him when they needed him.

WATER COMMISSION
IN SECRET SESSION

souri, river. He has held many minor
positions of responsibility and trust
requiring a profound knowledge of
technology and a sound, practical
training. He was five years in the
United States civil service, a life
position, which he resigned to come
to Spokane, and during this period of
five years as irrigation engineer for
the United States government he con-
structed water supply for irrigation
systems as well as water works,
sewerage systems, pumping stations,
head works. syphon and pipe lines
For the past four years he has been
assistant engineer for the city of
Spokane.
Professor O. l.. Waller, graduate of
the University of Michigan in 1888,
Graduate of the University of Chi
cago, in 1856, Phi. ID. and PHI. NJ.
Hillsdale in 1887. He has been con-
nected for the last 10 or IL years
with the Pullman Agricultural college
in the state of Washington, also
short time superintendent of the Col
fax schools. For the last two or
three years he has spent a part of
his summer vacation visiting irriga-
tion enterprises to acquire some
practical knowledge along this line.
He has also been consulting engineer
for the Sunnyside Canal company. AS
professor of the Pullman Agricultural
college he has acquired data for the
United States government.
There seems to be no record what
ever of Professor Waller having ever
designed any hydraulic improvements
Of any kind or nature. lie has never
pumping station or built, or designed,
a reservoir in his life, nor can any
thing he found to show that he is n
graduate of any technical institution,
or has had any technical training
whatever. His record as a prominent
educator, a gentleman and a scholar
are flattering indeed and credit to
any man, but his record as hydrau-
lie engineer is not yet apparent.
Mr.. Otto Weile of this city is well
known and anyone familiar with the
controversy needs no information in
that line.
II. w. Scott of Seattle was born In
the Puget Sound country, began his
career as assistant to one of the well
known engineers and then became am
employe In the city engineers office
in Seattle. which position he has held
ever since. Thus IL will he seen that
Mr.. Scott's entire experience is linn
tied to the shores OF Puget souuI,
and no record can he found OF his
ever having constructed any hydrau-
lie improvements on his own rcspou-
sibility.

Anderson, who owns property at
E1021 Second avenue
The man so hardly looked for dur

is Commissioner l.. B. Handley.
For the commissioner is again in
war paint and in the czar-like humor
which has. in days past, made him
the object of big headlines in the

the engineering field. still some peo-

The assistant city engineer,
Chas Mcintyre, was chief engineer
of the Florence Canal company and
constructed 90 miles of ditch "a feet
wide and 6 feet deep, large reser-

grieved and went to the police sta
ton to make a complaint
The handsome desk man at the sta,
ton beamed upon her and sent her
to Judge Hinkle to get warrant for
the man who owned the cattle.
Judge Hinkle listened, but decided
to send the damaged property owner
to the corporation counsel.
The corporation counsel sent her
back to the police.
The police said nothing could be
done by them.

more than 10 head of cattle through
the streets.
