TO WORK OUT PLAN
FOR HOLDING FAIR

The committee which the Inter
state Fair association promised to
get together this morning for the
purpose of preparing a plan for
submission to the 10000 club, did
not assemble this morning owing

Yesterday afternoon. the fair
trustees agreed to hold 1 week
fair without pool selling. provided
the 100000 club would secure
pledges before August l of fund
of $4,000. The club committee
submitted a counter plan to sell
enough tickets to guarantee the
fair against loss.
At the next meeting it will be
determined which plan will be
adopted. Manager Robert H. Cos

estimated that the receipts this
year must be $4,000 for the fair to

TO FORFEIT
BARBER ASPHALT BOND.
Board Getting Tired Of Having Street Repair
Orders PersistentIy Ignored.

Action Is contemplated against
the Barber Asphalt Co. by the
board of public works, which may
result in a forfeiture Of that COM
pany's maintenance bond. Some
time ago Street Commissioner ONO
ordered that repairs be made on
Sprague av. from Monroe to Wall
sts.; Front av. from Howard to
Post sts; Stevens st. from Sprague
to First avs. Yet the company has
made no move to carry out the or
ders. When contracts were made
for paving these streets, the com
pany contracted to keep the sur
face repaired.
The Barber company, so long as
no action is taken which will hurt
it's finances, seems satisfied to let
the board issue all the orders it
pleases, and then forget them,
Commissioner ONO said;
There is no reason for the COM
pany's inactivity that | can see. Our
streets are torn up and must be re-
paired or that company will be
made to suffer the consequences"

GETTING READY
FOR FIGHT

Advocates of the amendment to
the state charter providing for the
initiative and referendum are pre-.
pairing to wage a more active cam
paign in the future, II that is pos.
sible, than they have In the past.
A meeting Of the league will be
called early in September and a
vigorous campaign mapped out.
Officers will also be elected for the
coming year.
The advocates of the referendum
havet every reason to believe they
will be successful in passing the
amendment during the next meet
ing of the legislature. They sue.
GUIDED in passing the amendment
through the house but were defeat
ed in the senate. They now know
who are their friends in the legisla-
ture and the people will be asked
to defeat for denomination every
member Of the senate who voted
against the bill until he changes
his attitude toward this great pc.
litical reform.
With a direct primary law the
referendum people feel confident
that they can secure enough mem.
bers of the senate to pass the law.
The State Federation of Labor
and the State Grange are united In
supporting the law, and these great
organizations have the backing Of
the great majority of the people Of
the state.

This is the ultimatum served up
by the people interested in the
fight to prevent Union park being
invaded by saloon. AS they con-
troll 1900 or more votes in that
ward the outcome looks dark po-
litically for the councilmen that
pay more heed to the brewers than
to their constituents.
The temperance people don't
mean to resort to threat to force
action they favor, but they reason
that their councilmen are bound by
the wishes and will of the majority
and are determined to emphasize
that position.
The attitude of Union park will
not affect Councilman Brown much,
as he is out already, but it comes
close to Funk, who has never dem
onstrated any intention to commit
political suicide. Since the council
raised its own pay he probably likes
the job better than ever.
But it is understood around the
city hall that Funk would favor
the license being granted If he
dares to.
The indications are that the

HANGING AROUND
DOW PERSISTS IN

G.. w. Dow, the health inspector
who was deposed at recent board
meeting, and who refuses to con-
slider himself fired until Thomas
Cavanaugh, his successor, is con-
f1rmed by the council, was ordered
this morning to return all books,
ETC., belonging to the department,
and to stay away from the health
Office.
Despite this order, Dow con-
tinues to act as an inspector with
out orders. Just what he is doing
is unknown, as the work of each
inspector is outlined by the clerk
every morning. BOWS pay will be
held up and he threatens to pre-
cipitate law suit in consequence.
His theory is that he hangs on un-
til the council confirms his sue
cessor, the same as city commits
SiOner.

BOARD ADOPTS PLAN TO
INSURE CHEAPER LIGHTS

The evident desire Of the board
Of public works Is to limit the next
lighting contract with the Wash
ington Water Power Co. Fearing
that if the limit Is set at l or 2
years competing company will be
in the field and an opportunity
given to the w. w. p. to COM
bine for raise in price, it is pro-
posed to recommend to the coun-
Gil that year contract be made
which will contain clause giving
the city the right to cancel 1t on
30 days notice.
With such contract It Is be-
lieved that as soon as the Graves
power plant is in operation, which
will be within the next year, 1t
will bid on lights. Thus the con-
tract with the w. w. P. can be
cancelled on short notice and the
other company allowed the privi-
lege Of cutting the price
Under the present contract the
w. w. p. Co. receives 81 per arc
light per month. The next con-
tract will probably have to be fixed
at the same rate. If made for 8
years it will guarantee lights for
that period at the old rate, where
II made for l year the competing
companies might, at the expiration
of the short term combine, raise
the price and take the city lighting
turn about at an advanced rate.
With the year contract and the
city able to cancel the prospects
are regarded as better for close
deal on lights than by the short
term system. This is Mayor
Moore's idea and he has the con-
currence of the board.
The success of the plan would
depend on whether the board could
be induced to cancel a w. w. p.
contract.
The old contract which termin-
ates Aug. 81, is all in favor of the
company. There is no stipulation
that the company may be fined for
lights that they do not burn, al
though the contract says they must
burn every night. On numerous
occasions arc lamps have been left
out, but the city pays just the same
as though they burned.
A clause overcoming this dis
crepancy will be included in the
next contract. Another desirable
clause will require the company to
put In lights within a certain time
after an order is given. Since
April I, 35 lights have been ordered
but not l installed.

Mill BURNS like POWDER

occupied by ole Doesch, wife and
children; the other by T. J. Shom.
ers and his family. The people ran
out in their night clothes, but with
the assistance of hremen were able
to secure enough clothing to dress.
The shacks, furniture and belong
ings they contained were a COM
plete loss.
During the excitement the stable.
containing 9 head Of horses, was
overlooked. On end Of 1t was blaz-
ing when above the cracking OF
the flames the horses could be
heard nickering and stamping. The
firemen broke In the doors and
liberated the animals. Some OF
them attempted to dash upon the
blazing lumber and the hremen
had difficulty in herding them In
the safe direction.
Water was then turned upon the
barn and the spread of the fire in
that direction stopped.
]. j. King, principal owner OF the
mill, was called rom his home, but
could do nothing but watch the
conflagration. Morris Williams,
foreman, and also a stakeholder In
the company arrived soon after Mr..
King. The first he knew OF the dis
aster was when he got of the car
on his way to work.
The plant has had numerous mar
row escapes before. 1t was erected
| II years ago and sets In a small
gully to the west of Washington st.
and between the o. r. & N. tracks
and aCtalda av. The fire burned
until noon and fremen are still
working on 1t.
The company employed about so
hands. Many of these are heavy
losers, some having left tools
valued at hundreds Of dollars in the
mill. 1t is doubted II any Of the
tools were insured One man lost
a chest containing $500 worth. Sew
eral others valued their tools at
500.
The engine and boiler may be
saved and with considerable ex-
pense repaired so as to be of use.
Otherwise the mill and great
deal of lumber are complete loss.
The books of the firm are In the
safe, which cannot be opened for
several days on account Of the
burning it received.

intense was it that every lumber
pile in the yard caught fire.
Chief Myers gave up trying to
put out the blaze and instructed

saved, but the warehouse in which
