aud pains that affiict humanity;
they must keep up must attend

ing backs, or headaches. dizzy spells,
bearing-down pains; they must
stoop oyer, when to stoop means
torture They must walk and bend
and work with racking pains and
many aches from kidney ills. Kid
neys cause more suffering than any
other organ of the body. Keep the
kidneys we'll and health is easily
maintained. Read of a remedy for
kidneys only that helps and cures
the kidneys and is endorsed by peo-
pie you know.
Mrs. N. Larson, living on Pine ST.,
Washburn, Wis, says: I have
been suffering from weak kidneys
for two or three years. I was treat
ed by physicians and used many re-
NEEDLES but got little relief until I
sent toSweet S drug store for Doan' S

SPOKANE co. To
THE FRONT At
OLYMPIA

Lieutenant Governor Coon was
compelled yesterday to announce
the senate committees desired by
the opponents Of the"Railroad-
Ankeny ring" Mr.. Coon, in a
speech, admitted that the dethron-
ing of the corporation forces was a
bitter pill. He said he would be
more than willing to bear the re-
sponsibilities of his office and name
the committees without the assist
ance of the senate, but that he had
been overruled and shorn of his
powers.
The new deal senators control
every committee and hold the
Craftsmanship of every important
committee excepting the committee
on revenue and taxation.
Spokane county for the first time
in years is well represented on
nearly all important committees.
Rosenhaupt is chairman of the COM
mittee on congressional apportion-
ment and will exert his influence to
have the state divided into districts.
Graves is chairman of the judiciary
committee; Scott of irrigation, and
Bratt of roads and bridges. Sena-
tor Brown stayed with the corpora
ton forces and is compelled TO con-
tent himself with place on the
committee on medicine. 1t is pre-
sumed he will take his medicine.
In the house d. M. Thompson was
made chairman of the appropriations
committee, a most important posi-
ton, and a remarkable victory for
the delegation from this county in
view of the fact that Mr.. Thompson
Is serving his first term in the le-
gislature. Huxtable is on the com
mittee on labor and labor statistics;
Hornberger on state lands. and Gil
bert on military affairs. Others re-
ceive recognition on committees of
less importance. Dickson, of Kit
titas county is again head of the
house committee on railroads.

BROWN STANDS PAT ON
COMMON USER CLAUSE

Councilman L. n. Brown said to-
day that he would insist on amend
ing the Graves subway franchise
by the insertion of common user
clause as long as no good argument
could be advanced against 1t and as
long as the people of his ward sup
ported him in such a demand. Mr..
Brown said that he was not at
tempting to block the building Of
the subway; that he expected to
spend the remainder of his life in
this city and is looking to the fu-
ture rather than to the present
when he advocates that in the last
railroad franchise that could be
granted by this city which would
provide for an outlet to the west.

upon. He stated that he had adj
vocated the amending OF the Pend
d'Oreille franchise by a common
user clause but had been turned

THAT $4,000
RETAINER

What has become of the $4,000
donated by the county commits
sionefs to assist in making the rate
fight? Attorney e. c. Mcdonald,
representing the bonding company
which goes bond for county officials,
has taken no further action than
to order the county auditor not to
pay the warrant.
By intervening in the rate suit, it
was held by the prosecuting attor-
ney, the objection of the bonding
company would be removed.
AS an excuse for settling the ex-
pense upon the county the COM
missioners made contract with H.
M. Stephens, who represented the
city in the fight, to pay him $4,000
as a retaining fee for representing
the county. Stephens during the
trial did not once mention the
county and brought no evidence
from the county outside of the city
Of Spokane.
The contract was merely a
vehicle for the appropriation of that
much county money to the rate
fight.

WHICH IS IT, MR.. GRAVES?

| to build them as we are? Is il fair
to compel our company to bear all
this expense for other lines to profit
by simply because we are the pio-
neers in this enterprise?"
Now, the advocates of the com.
mon user clause are asking why,
II Mr.. Graves really wishes to fur
nish a means Of easy entrance for
other roads into Spokane, he Is OBJ
jecting to a provision in the fran.
chise that will insure that very
thing?
More and more the belief is be-
coming fixed that the subway is
proposed as crafty move Of j. J.
Hills to bottle the town against
further competition threatened in
this territory by the Milwaukee and
Hartman interests. Hills roads
have the city sewed up now as far
as surface roads go. With an ex-
elusive subway. 1t is argued, the
last door would be closed to open
and easy access and Hill would hold
the key.
The proposition that other roads
could build other subways under
Main. Sprague or Riverside avs. Is
not regarded as feasible in that the
western exit from these avenues
could not be utilized without
enormous eyDense
An effort is being made to dis
credit the common user" move
ment by circulating the report that
the fight for such a clause in the
Graves franchise is being made by
Corporation Counsel Geraghty in
the interest Of interested parties.
Councilman Nick Laumer, when
asked by a representative of this
paper what he thought of common
user amendment to the tunnel
franchise said that he was heartily
in favor of such move. Mr.. Ger
agility was seen next and stated that
the matter had been mentioned to
him by Councilman Brown, who
suggested that the franchise be
amended to include the common
user clause.
A peculiar phase of the situation
is that the most ardent advocates
of the common user amendment
have always been staunch support
ers of the Graves people.

time to have that franchise amend.
ed by the insertion of such amend
ment and that they supported him
in the present instance.
when the Pend d'Oreille people
asked Mr.. Graves for the use OF his
track from Sherman to Washing
ton" continued Mr.. Brown, sit was
estimated at the time that the
price asked by the Traction com-
pany for the use of the track would
pay for its construction once In
every eight months"
In conclusion Mr.. Brown init.
mated that he was from Missouri
and that he would have to be shown
that the franchise as asked for by
the Graves people was the best
thing for the city before he would
support 1t.

made in The Press yesterday by
Jay P. Graves that his company
would not accept a subway fran
chise under the common user
clause proposed has awakened more
public discussion of the tunnel pro-
ject than at any time since the
franchise application was filed.
Mr.. Graves made his position
plain yesterday that the subway is
intended for the exclusive use Of
the Graves system. He did not
want to be compelled to share the
advantages of tunnel through the
city with other roads after going to
the expense Of building it. And he
pointed out that his company has
no room for other roads at either
Of its terminal facilities.
That was yesterday. Today an
other question is uppermost. City
officials and others who have taken
an interest in the project as one of
the greatest ever undertaken in
Spokane are inclined to draw the
deadly parallel on Mr.. Graves be-
cause of previous utterances in re-
gard to this same subway.
At the chamber of commerce an
nual banquet in this city Jan. 8
Jay P. Graves, in speaking on the
proposed subway enterprise is
quoted as saying:
Spokane lies between bluffs to
the north and the south and her
business district lies between the
river and the Northern Pacific rail
road. The Great Northern railroad
has its right of way along the river
and the other steam roads to the
north of the river. AS conditions
now exist, it is impossible for an
other line to pass through the city
on the surface on lines which will
give them as good an entrance to
the city as that OF the existing lines.
II cannot believe 1t will be the
policy of this city to say that an
entrance shall not be afforded to
these other lines that are coming
towards our city, the Milwaukee,
the North Coast, the Kettle Valley,
and others. We propose to con-
struct this subway to serve our
selves and these other lines as we'll,
and In doing so we do not propose
to put ourselves In the position of
becoming a public nuisance, either
through smoke or water
1--WE want to serve any or all Of
these steam railways; we want to
be in a position to be able to let
them into the city. We do not
propose to kill our own business as
manufacturers of electric power
and operators of electric railroads
by letting them run through the
city with steam power, but they
might be unwilling to negotiate
with us under franchise which
does not permit the use of steam
power. And | mere announce 10 thlS
chamber of commerce that this is
our policy and intention"
To The Press yesterday Jay p.
Graves, in stating his objection to
the proposed common user clause
as applied to the subway, said:
THE argument in favor of the
joint user clause in this instance
is based on the erroneous idea that
but one subway can be built in Spo-
kane. In the event that some other
line wished a subway there is still
left Main, Riverside and Sprague
avs. These with Front ay. were
available for subway purposes and
we selected Front.

subways are they not just as able
