Foot Ball and Moral Health.

From the Medical Record.
William Lee Howard declares that explo-
sion of physical energy is the birthriehr
of every healthy youth, and any attempt
to suppress such activity is an injustice
He believes in the formulation OF rules
which shall rightly govern the management
of games and the eligibility of the players,
but he does not believe in allowing any
thing that will discourage the cultivation OF
the normal spirit of resistance. A spirit of
non-resistance under provocation or Ia ath-
Ietic contests, he continues, is humanity,
craven and belongs to the unsexed. The
physical fighting instinct is necessary
characteristic Of the manly hoy, and 1t
should be diverted to foot ball. wrestling
or boxing. A strong. virile, rough, or even
dangerous game makes against moral and
physical degeneration. The penetrating in
direct effect of foot ball is the beneficial
factor among the mass of students.

The Homes Of Spokane.
There Is no doubt, however, but that
Spokane is a good town. 1t is growing
like green bay tree and it Will continue
to grow in the future. 1t is remarkably
well built and IL has some of the prettiest
and most artistic homes In the United
States. All the houses have their own
lawns and gardens. There are trees flow
ers and green grass everywhere, and l am
surprised at the numerous small houses in
which one could live well at moderate cost.
The architecture is of all sorts. There are
Swiss chalets, Spanish mission homes.
Queen Ann cottages and many other con-
ceits Indeed, the suburban and seaside
architects who are planning homes for
the east could learn much at Spokane.
There are also costly houses. One man,
who is said to be worth $50 GOO 000, has a
mansion with a great park about 1t. and

SPOKANE.
Come with me this Sunday morning and
let us lunch together away out here in the
wild and wOolly west. Where shall we go?
To the Spokane Club. No, that savors too
much of the splendors of New York and
Boston. The milionaIres of the town be-
long to 1t, and the same is true of the Couu-
try Club. on the golf links overlooking the
city. Suppose we try a tavern? How about
the Spokane Hotel? 1t has a restaurant
which makes one think of Berlin the dim
ing room has low Dutch ceiling, with
rafters showing out OF the plaster q red
brick floor and furniture OF weathered oak.
The band plays there at night while dinner
is served, and the swell Spokaners come in
with their families and eat side by side with
the strangers.
But you say you are afraid of western
taverus?
Then suppose we eat at a restaurant

Masonic Temple cost 100000 and we have
an athletic club which cost s25.o00 more
than that. Spokane is now building a con-
vention hall. which will attract people
from all parts of the United States. and
make 1t greater convention city than
Washington. We are raising a fund of
$4,000 to advertise us; and if we keep on
in this way II won't be long before Seattle
will have to take back seat"
Yes" said the Seattle man, 81 have
heard that you were doing something We
have clubs and schools too, and we are put
ting up single business blocks which would
hold all your business men and leave some
to spare. You ought to see our Alaska
building, It is fourteen stories high and
ever been to Scatter"
Yes said the somewhat subdued Spo-
kaner Il have been there"
But when, but when.' asked the Seattle
Il was there two weeks ago." was the
reply
Two weeks, Why. man, you ought to
see Seattle now!''
Spokane and the President.
This desire to advertise the city was
brought out prominently last year when
the Spokane board of trade sent out it's
famous picture of President Roosevelt, en-
titled stop off at Spokane" Roosevelt
had made speech in which he had said
Il never saw two such cities anywhere as
Spokane and Seattle If my eldest boy was
large enough to be choosing a place,
would advise him to locate in one or the
other of those cities and 1t is a shake-up
between them" This statement was too
good to be lost, and the result was the
spectacular advertisement TO which the
President objected. He wrote to the secre-
tary of the board of trade here and re-
CURED the city to stop using 1t.
Another advertisement that Spokane has
secured recently at small cost is from a big
liquid washing powder firm. The city
factories. as already described, are run by
electricity, and as the most common fuel
here is wood the town is kept exceedingly
clean. 1t prides itself on it's streets, and it
has acquired quite a reputation for them
Not long ago the board of trade thought it
might be able TO advertise this feature at
the expense of the above mentioned firm
SO letter was sent. saying that If the
liquid washing powder men would send
a hogshead of their stuff to Spokane it
would be used in sprinkling the streets and
that a photograph of the sprinkler in ac-
ton might be labeled What keeps Spo-
kane clean" This was done and the pic
ture will be used as an advertisement in
all the magazines. The town paid nothing
but the expense of photogra phing; the
Silver Dope Twins or the Singles Smerine
Company will probably spend $4,000 or

that win help the town. Every one thinks
there is no other city equal to his and
the men of rival cities strive to outvie
each other in boasting about their respec-
tive municipalities. There is some little
competition just now between Spokane and
seattle Seattle is by far the larger and 1t
grows the faster but the Spokane man will
not acknowledge that the Seattleite has
any advantage over him. AS an illustration
OF this spirit have just heard the follow
ing:
A Seattleite and Spokarfer were talking
OF their towns. The Spokaner told OF new
banks. new factories and new buildings,
saying: Why, man, you have no idea
how we are progressing. We have the best
little city in the United States. Our real
estate has doubled in value within the past
ten years and ten million dollars worth
of it changed hands in 1905. We have the
best school buildings In the west. We have
twenty-five in our town of $1,000. and they
cost US altogether more than million dol
lars. You ought to see our high school,
That building alone cost $4,000. Our new

a stratum OF clay upon bed of lava
For long time the great trouble about
the country was the apparent lack of water
The land looked thirsty and dry and both
biologists and the farmers said it would
never be good for anything. Then, as one
man expressed 1t to me, some fool tried to
raise wheat on it and succeeded 1t was

gorge, dashing down over fall after fall,
having descent of one hundred and thirty
two feet in a quarter of mile. The waters
rage and foam as they drop from level to
level sending up spray which the sun turns
into diamonds, They run part of the way
through turbines, which have been so con-
nected with machinery that they are worth
more to the city than diamonds themselves.
The river, In fact, does the greater part OF
the work of the city 1t Iabors away day
and night, day in and day out, every night
and every day all the year through The
falls have a minimum capacity OF $1,000
horsepower. and of this 15,oo0 has already
been developed The river lights the city,
turns it's mills and factories, operates Its
street railways and travels over a hundred
miles of wire 10 the Occur d'Alene mines,
and carries there the electricity by which
they produce about one-fifth of all the lead
of the world
A Mighty Water Power.
The energy of the Spokane river is enor-
NOUS In addition to the 90. 600 horsepower
which lies in the heart of Spokane, there
are several million available horsepower in
the river above and below the city. The
Spokane has a big volume and 1t flows
for n distance of ninety miles above and
below here. through a gorge of such O
nature, that factories can be built all along
it, In this ninety miles the river falls
/ 200 feet, or more than twice the height
of the Washington monument; and the fall
is such that 1t is estimated horsepower
greater than that of Niagara can be gen.
Grated from 1t. The power is so situated
that turbines can be put in every three
or four miles along the whole ninety mile
gorge and each set of turbines will have
a fall of forty feet.
The fall of Niagara from Lake Erie to
Lake Ontario is 500 fet and from Goat Is
land to the rapids only 2l2 feet. The act
ual drop of the water at the American falls
Is 1877 feet and the Horseshoe falls have a
vertical height of 15S feet. The normal flow
of water pouring over the Niagara cataract
is about a half million tons a minute, a
large part of which has already been used
for the turbines
This Spokane river power has as l have
said. fall of 1900 feet, and it is so sit
uated that ii might form the basis of an
enormous industrial region extending thtr-
ty miles above Spokane and sixty miles be-
low. 1t should be as valuable or more valu-
able than mines of coal and iron, and it
will hold a large place In the transporta-
ton of this region in the future. Spokane
has no navigable river connecting 1t with
the sea. but these water falls will give it
the cheap railroad freight and passenger
rates which ought to develop it more sure
ly than waterway.
The city today profits directly from the
waterpOwer 1t owns its own water works
and is getting a revenue of 100000 a year
from them. 1t ought 10 have the entire
rights 10 the river and its power, but
this is owned by private parties.

which must commend itself to notice on
account of it's interesting composition,
good color and virile brush work; a genre
by Israels which will be found appealing;
to say nothing of a portrait by Madam
LeBrun: charming little landscape by
wyant Monticello, Decamp, and per-
haps dozen other canvases. These paint

the interest of the regular exhibition.
They proclaim, too, the generosity OF pri-
vate collectors and indicate at the same
time the way in which public institutions

by the removal of the art tariff. Our
museums and galleries are not filled by
great paintings purposely purchased
abroad by their directors, but rather by
canvases given or loaned by private indi-
viduals. American institutions are pro-
verbally poor; American collectors almost
universally wealthy and public-spirited.
If art is to be found out-of-doors as well
as in. then the Corcoran Gallery's new
rear fence distinctly deserves mention In
this column. for IT not only enhances the
pictorial aspect OF the building. but opens
to the public a series Of natural pictures

which at the present time possesses much
charm When the Corcoran Gallery ac-
auired it's new site 1t profited by it's years
OF eramping and purchased not only
enough land but some to spare. The
building which was erected and is now
occupied was planned a beginning. and
was meant to grow. There is a large lot
TO the rear and this has been converted
into a garden. Until recently IL has been
inclosed by a wooden fence. so that few
knew of it's existence; but this has now
been replaced by one of ornamental iron,
which attaches the gallery to it's garden
and opens to the street a pleasing pros
pect The gardening has not been scfen-
tific, or even conventional. but well adj
vised and evidently successful. for while
there Is little method observable In ar

growth. With its many roses and its fresh
foliage it is now. indeed, picture and an

cities is the enterprise of the citizens. If
Boston, New York, Philadelphia or Wash

would double in size within two decades.

and forth. The pillars are really tubes of
glass hlIed with water. the only difference
between their appearance and that of the
solid crystal being that the gold fish are
moving.
We sit down to our meal in one of the
cabinets. and enjoy it. All the delicacies
of the east and west come to Spokane, and
one can live quite as well here as in New
York or Chicago If you doubt this take
walk with me through the basement of the
establishment where we are eating. It is
finished in pure white marble, and il con-
talns cold storage chambers so arranged
that one can look in and see the supplies.
In one room there are hundreds Of beeves,
and i'm another mutton pork and game are
hung up. The beef is brought from Chi
csgo i'm cold storage; and the cuts are of
the same shape and size. so that one can
give 81 dinner for fifty and have each guest
served the same. This can probably be
done I'm New York or Boston. but 1 doubt If

The Up-to-Date West.
Indeed. the most live part of the United
States today lies west of the Rockies. All
the cities out here are growing faster than
thistles in Canada Spokane Seattle.
Portland and Los Angeles have on
rheir seven league boots. and they are

greater population and wealth.
As far as age il concerned Spokane is a
born just generation ago. but Il now has
eighty thousand population. and is doing a
business. as represented by the clearing

ten banks with deposits of S14O0OOOO. and

and il has a newspaper. the Spokesman-Re-

TO the population than any other city In

OF this continent The city lies in a valley
