FOR FIRfMEN

The ordinance to increase the
salaries of firemen was passed by
the council last night with only
one dissenting vote, that of Coun-
Gilman Estep. He said there has
been a regular onslaught of salary
raising of late. The council also
approved the recommendation of
the finance committee that the
board of public works buy new
equipment for the fire department
Fire Chief Myers was present with
a committee from the chamber of
commerce and recommended that
council order to be purchased a
water tower, a most important
piece of fire equipment. On mo-

matter was referred to the commit

NEW YORK, April "a. - After
research Of more than two years,
Mrs. Edith Kingdom Gould, wife of
Geo. J. Gould, has succeeded in
tracing her pedigree back to the
18th century. She has found that
one of her ancestors, Of intrepid
mien and stout of arm, did with a
single blunderbuss repel a whole
shipload of invading FreE chmen on
the west coast of England.
Thus it comes about in an elabor-
ate coat of arms, which has been
prepared by the heraldry court of
England for Mrs. Gould, that in
two of the quarterings appear the
British lion guardent, sustained by
a blunderbuss, with wavy lines in
the background indicating the sea
across which sailed the defeated
Frenchmen.

arrived at the conclusion that an

swooped down upon Alfonso and
made him submit to the indignity

"The Heir to Hoorah," a clean,
wholesome comedy, was presented
at the Spokane theater last night
by an extremely capable company
to large audience who appreciat-
ed every line. The action never for
a moment Tags and there is blend
ing of pathos and fun throughout
the four acts.
Guy Bates Post. as Joe Lacy,
gave a fine Interpretation of the
leading role, while Ernest Lamson,
as Dave Lacey, depicts a genial
fun-loving Westerner. The female
members of the cast, with Miss
Lane Peyton in the lead, uphold
their end well.
One of the features is T. Tama-
motto, Japanese, who portrays
the part of a Japanese servant. The
show Is one of the best that has
been seen here this season.
The plot is interesting in itself
and holds you until the curtain
drops in the last act. 1t Is thick
ly interspersed with ludicrous char.
acters who, with their unconven-
tionalities and incongruities, are
productive of spontaneous merri-
ment, and there are situations that
make one cry. The play suggests
Hoyt's "a Texas Steer" but lacks
the horse play of the Hoyt produc-
ton.
The story is an old one in some
respects, but is set in an original
frame, which makes it appear as if
it. were entirely new.
