THIRTY FIVE
DIVORCE SUITS
Up f0R TRIAL

The biggest default divorce dock
ct ever made out in Spokane county
is that prepared for tomorrow,
when 35 cases are noted for DISPOSE
ton in the superior court. Thirty
five may sound quite big to the
people of the city, but the total for
the six weeks since the last day of
the kind is neither more nor less
than what has been the number I'M
der the every Friday system which
has heretofore prevailed. Judge
KEENAN, used to have about an aver
age of six each week.
OF the 35 cases Judge Huneke
draws IS, and Judge Poindexter IL.
There are six hours of court regu-
larly, and if Judge Huneke gets
through with his allotted Is he will
dispose of just three per hour, or
one every 20 minutes of the court
day. 1t is expected that many of
the cases may turn out not to be
ready, which will cut down the to-
tai. But the prospect remains that
tomorrow will be the banner day
for divorces and that all records in
number will be broken.

Passing of This Great and Good Public
Servant Should Not Be OUerl00ked=-=
His Accon1plishments..His Hopes for
GuneweH and the Reeder Reservoir:

| first discerned the possibilities OF
the Gamewell system as an alarm
scheme of brilliant magnitude. The
name of Gamewell should be ap-
propriately inscribed in bas-relief
on any monument to the memory
of the Hon. Councilman John I'll
tanic Snyder, even if the present
efforts of the municipal statesman
fathering the scheme do fail of
consummation. Gamewell is COM
ing. He has been heard in the cor
ridors of city halls nearer the At
lantic coast than Spokane. He has
a silent way and it's said a cheer
ing way with him. The little seer
of the Fourth ward, ever with ear
to the ground for signs of prosper
ity for his people, was one of the
first to discover the impending ca
tastrophe if Gamewell does not
come to Spokane permanently. For
what has already been accomplish
ed by the doughty little champion
of the people in the Fourth ward,
even though the future fail, Came
wells name should be linked in his
tory with that of the Hon. Council
man John Titanic Snyder
When the bright, gladstone ac-
cents of history come bubbling
! down over the rocky slopes now
occupied by the tentacles of the
benefcent power company and turn
the turbines of truth and send the
current thrilling through the souls
of the yet unborn of Spokane, let
Mausoleus turn green with envy
that so small thing as bereave-
ment Of wifely devotion should
have been his lot; that he had not
lived in the early days of the Twen-
tieth century, teeming with patriot
spirited beings who would immediate
themselves on the altar of public
veal. Let him feel woes of anguish
that he had only Artemisia to scald
tears for him, when he might have
had, bending in the throes of an
almost hysterical bereavement,
such masters of public self-abnega-
ton as the Pacific States T. & T.
Co., the w. w. P. Co., Gamewell;
and Standpipe Reeder.

titanic efforts Of their colleague on

of the Hon. Mr.. Snyder the public

life than when I learned they had
more men on the police force than
we have. They have 81 men. When
was in Seattle visited the police
department and I never saw such a
place in my life, dark and dirty.
They keep 1872 regular men on the
force and the mayor wants to add
so more. That would make 172
men. Their plain clothes men are
divided, eight of them being regular
detectives and the others straighS
policemen.
Spokane has 40 men on the 20

clothes. This includes detectives
and all. Some of the commission.

force and place a few of the men
back in uniform. If anything is to

should be to increase it. Detectives
are the men who get the criminals.

Considerable excitement prevail

when Principal Cloyd corrected a
statement made in the Review that
Virgil Patton had been dismissed
from school for tampering with the
piano and for writing his auditori-
UNI seat number on a piece of paper
and wearing it pinned on his coat.
The fact, as stated by Principal
Cloyd, is the boy had nothing to
do with the piano and was not dis
missed from school.

Yet other elements should enter
into the imposing structure, in writ
ing the name of the Hon. Council
man John T. Snyder deep in the his
tory of the development Of the mu-
nicipality of Spokane as an adjunct
of greedy corporations. Their pres
ence will depend solely upon the
success of the efforts of the council
man during the remainder of his
term. Palsy the hands which place

In view of the activity of Charles

has clear title, to the good cause.
After having miserably failed in
connection with City Commissioner
Weymouth in his efforts to donate

for the purses of a standpipe on
Cooks hill, he has the assurance
that the Hon. Councilman John T.
Snyder is with him on his PROPOSE

block on the hill to the city as a
site for a reservoir. in spite of the
fact that another citizen has offered
to donate site for this same reser-
