BIG MOVEMENT
IN REALITY

The real estate market has been
very active during the last week
and numerous deals have been re-
ported. Local dealers say that
people are coming here from all
parts OF the country seeking
homes. The demand for houses to
rent Is greater than the supply.
One dealer said he could rent rs
cottages at once If he had them.
There has been times during the
present week that some of the
firms doing the largest business in
the city did not have a house of
any description for rent listed.
One firm, which makes a special
ty of building houses on the Install
ment plan can scarcely keep up
with orders. Mr.. Gilbert l.. Cham
berlin, Of the Chamberlin company,
said today he fully expected that
in the near future the local mar
ket would exceed all expectations
for fall activity.

WEEK Of
q REFORM

The week Of reformation"
closes with a few vags picked up,
several male vampires of human
semblance put under bond and a
general order served through po-
lice headquarters that "box
rustling" and other 'tenderloin"
forms of graft must cease. Dive
keepers have taken the orders
merely to mean more caution and
less open display of criminal con-
ditions hereafter rather than &C.
cepting the mandate as conclusive
and are proceeding on that theory.
There is yet no record of any
proprietor of places found violat-
ing the order being brought into
court or disturbed in any manner.
The women found in such places,
where any fingered long enough
after the danger signal to be
caught, have been put under bond,
which, of course, is forfeited.
A few good results have been
attained, however, in at least
frightening the "tenderloin" ele-
ment into a half formed belief that
the old days of unrestricted inde-
cency and grating have ended.
Part of the gang of despicable
creatures who haunt the restricted
district and live on what they can
get from the women Of that por-
ton of the city have been lying
low lately and some of them are
said to have left town. But this
class, which ought to be subject
to the death penalty, has found
Spokane too congenial place for
SO long that nothing but the most
drastic methods may be expected
to drive and keep them away. They
constitute considerable fraction
of the voting strength of the ten
derloin."
Consequently they are found use
full when 1t becomes necessary for
Dutch Jake" and the corporation
influences that work with him, or
Father through him, to select an
for the proud and
magnificent city of Spokane.
And this ends the first week of
the mayors cleanup, decided upon
when he discovered that the police
under Chief Waller,
had deceived" him as to existing
conditions. What the mayor would
seem to need in future is an official
informer or prompter to preserve
him from further receptions of this
sort.

that he enticed away their sausage
maker and put him to work for
