600, 900 are involved in deal which is
being consummated in Spokane. 1t is
the largest single transaction in land in
the history of North Idaho The How
ard Lumber company, of Occur d'Alene
City, Idaho, is the seller, and A. L.
Flewelling, representing the Monarch
Timber company, with headquarters at
Spokane and Seattle, is the buyer.
All of the timber is tributary to
Lake Occur d'Alene. One billion, two
hundred and fifty million feet of choice
timber is involved in this purchase,
both parties to the transaction having
agreed upon this estimation. More
than so per cent is white pine, while
the remainder is made up of cdear, red
fir, tamarack and yellow pine.
During the summer the Monarch
company has acquired, in addition to
the timber ju stbought, other holdings
that equal in value and extent the last
purchase. Its operations thus include
$500, 900, 900 feet, for consideration
of 5000, 600, and an area of 100000
acres. Eatsern capitalists, but not the
Weyerhaeusers, are interested.

Boise-The canvassing board CON-
pleted it's canvass of the vote at the re-
cent election Some errors were found
in county footings, but they do not ma
terially change the figures heretofore
reported. A transposition occurred in
the vote on the sixth
amendment in one county, and made
that county give a majority of about $50
against the amendment, whereas it
should have been that much in its ia
vor. This with some errors discovered
in county additions, carries the amend
ment by a majority of 157.
This is the amendment which wipes
out the sliding taxation scale provided
for in the constitution, and makes fiat
maximum of 10 mills on the dollar.
The official plurality for Governor
Gooding is $500.

WATER STREET
ON WARPATH

Once more comes cry for re-
lief from resident of Water street.
Their riverfront is stewn with con-
tents of the main sewer of the city,
which empties into the river in
that neighborhood-or rather into
the riverbed. Because it is not
discharged into the current the
south shore is burdened with what
the sewer builders designed for
the fishes and folks farther down.
Consequently, citizens who helped
pay for that sewer and still have
to live with it are complaining
loud and long. They have knocked
vainly for relief at about every
department door at the city hall.
Now they are about to rise up in
wrath unless their environments
are made more savory. 1t Is
claimed the trouble can be easily
remedied by extending the pipe
further out into the river, but pro-
testants are not particular what
method is used so it is effective.
1t is claimed the present conditions
are so unhealthy they have killed
all the Daggett votes in that part
Of the city.

COUNCIL LEAVES POLICE
QUESTION UNTOUCHED

pense to the city of ISL, $50 a year.
This is one policeman to every
1866 people.
Chief Waller this morning said
he supposed that the reason the
matter of additional men was not
brought before the council last
night was because four Of the
councilmen were absent.
In proof of the statement that
Spokane has less police protection
than almost any other city, Chief
Waller had e. j. Cannon, division
counsel for the Northern Pacific
railroad. prepare statement in
which he says that Spokane is suf-
fering by an insufficient police
force. The result of Mr.. Cannon's
figures shows that the average
force to the population in st.
Louis Is 2.37 to 1000; Cleveland,
1873; Milwaukee, lis: Minnea-
polls, 1.12; Kansas City, 1.72; Ro-
chester, 1877; Denver, LAG.
Concluding, Mr.. Cannon says:
when you consider the fact that
Spokane is yet new city, sur
rounded by mining districts and
timber territory, construction of
new railroads carried on in all di-
rections, and other inducements
held out to floating populations,
Spokane has not nearly the protec-
ton, bearing in mind its location,
that the older and larger cities
have whose population is more set
tied and more accessible to police
protection with less travel"
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-10-24

Notwithstanding all the furore Of
last week over the need of better
police protection, the city council
last night failed to take further ac-
ton on the ordinance providing for
an increase of the force.
This ordinance was given it's first
reading in a special meeting called
by Mayor Daggett. following the
murder of Reno Hutchinson. 1t
was supposed to be taken up and
passed last night so that reinforce
ments could be available at once.
Why this was not done is ex-
planned around the city hall in the
expression the frameup was not
right Councilmen Stimmell, Horr,
Baldwin and Brown were absent.
What other condition the frame
up refers to Is one of the myster-
les of city government. 1t might
be translated to indicate that the
matter of apportionlng new jobs
had proved more troublesome than
expected, and it probably indicates
that councilmen present are OPP
posed to any increase.
Chief of Police Waller protests
that compared with other cities
Spokane Is inadequately provided
with police protection. The fact
that the city is inadequately pro-
tected, whatever the trouble is, has
been demonstrated beyond dispute.
AS the chief figures it, a force
of 81 men looks after some $4,000

DENY SUPPORT
To PLUMBERS

The Structural Building Trades
alliance went on record last night
as not being in favor of the stand
taken by the Plumbers union
against the plumbing being install
ed in the Turner building.
At a meeting of the alliance held
one week ago Business Agent Mill
er was authorized to call the men
working on the Turner block out
In support of the plumbers. Mr..
Miller investigated the trouble, and
among other things discovered a
strong sentiment among the men
to remain at work, as they could
not agree with the plumbers in re-
gard to the controversy.
Miller made his report to the
alliance last night and stated that
he did not feel justified, under all
the circumstances, in asking the
men to quit. He also recommend
ed that the alliance take no further
action in the matter. The report
was adopted.
The plumbers felt that they did
not receive the treatment to which
they weer entitled and said so.
They said they would work with
union or non-union men in the fu-
ture, but did not withdraw from
the alliance. President Simons, Of
the alliance, who is plumber,
rendered his resignation, but the
meeting refused to accept it.
