|NDoRsE HIS STAND ON CEMENT
Seattle Street Committee Approves
Measure Prepared by Engineer
Against Alleged Combine.

SEATTLE, May 5.-Entire accord
stand against the use of Portland ce-
ment in city work at the present
high prices, which he considers exorbi-
tant and an evidence of a combine
among dealers, was manifested by the
streets committee yesterday. The
committee unanimously approved a
resolution referred to it last Monday
night, authorizing the board of public
works to cease work on contracts re-
quiring the use of this cement, and not
to advertise any more contracts of
similar nature.
No question of the need for such a
stand was raised at the session of the
committee. Il guess we'd better pass
that right along. and show them we
mean business" said Chairman Null
len, and the committee agreed with
him.
Under the resolution, the most me-
cessary contracts are to be completed.
The attitude of the board of public
works. the city engineering depart
ment and the council will not mean a
cessation of work on the main thor
oughfares, where the contracts have
been let and the improvement is much
needed. The city engineers believe that
within a few weeks. if Seattle official
ly refuses to buy cement at $4.00 a bar
rel, the prices will be lowered so that
contractors can carry out their agree
ments.

Senator Ankeny 1t seems Is not the
only Walla Walla man that helps
maintain newspaper for the ad-
vancement of his own personal inter-
ests. 1t has been rumored from time
to time and can now be taken as a
fact that two Boxer members of the
council are financially interested in the
little evening dodger and that this ac-
counts for the glowing and effusive
eulogies concerning the coming and
going of these two young champions of
the peoples rights that appear on
prominent pages of the dodger, night
after night to the exclusion of news.
No employer, it is said. could keep
closer watch over his business affairs
and interests than do these two coun-
cilmen in directing the policy Of the
little evening dodger. They swing into
the business office with an air Of pro-
prietorship, tell the reporters what to
write and it is said, do not feel it be-
meath their dignity to get out and
hustle little business for the paper
when the occasion demands it.
In return for all these favors. 1t is
only natural that the two bosses in
terests and those of their friends
should not be overlooked. and conse-
uuently night after night the little
evening dodger is brimming over with
fulsome praise of their great achieve
ments in exposing graft and corruption
as well as their business acumen in
employing Seattle accountants to ex-
pert the city books at cost OF $500
when Walla Walla accountants would
have been glad of the job for one
sixth of the amount.
Last night the little evening dodger
outdid itself sounding the praises OF
these two councilmen In giving an al
legged account Of the council proceed
ings the night before. AS an ex-news-
paper man said today, the little even
ing dodger went to lengths that not
naper in the United States, aside from
the Appeal to Reason or some anarchist
paper. would go to vent its spleen on a
man as it did on Engineer Thomson and
satisfy the demands of the posses.
A few extracts from that wonderful
story might not come amiss. seeing
that nothing like it ever appeared In
a genuine newspaper before. Con-
cerning Engineer Thomson here are
few:
"Sitting alone, assuming a naughty
expression of Indifference as ne
watched the seven members OF the
council, his tribunal He saw In
those faces a look that called for JUS
