CASH SCARCE IN
COULEE CITY

Following practical failure to
market crops in the coulee country
last fall, great Inconvenience and
considerable anxiety is bling suffer
ed by property owners of that To-
cality. Paper is the only form of
payment that has been in vogue in
that vicinity for several months
past and much litigation has result
ed. A great deal of farm land has
either been sold or placed upon the
market 20 per cent cheaper than
year ago because the farmers have
no ready money to live upon. 1t is
said that unless homeseekers make
their way into that country this
summer this pinched condition of
affairs will continue until after the
harvesting of this seasons crops
and by that time many farmers or
small means will have become dis
couraged and nearly impoverished.

Will CONDEMN CITY HAUL
The city hall will be con-
demned by insurance COM
panies within few weeks
unless the electric wiring is
remodeIled throughout.
q q q q q - . . q 80

This information. which amounts
to an ultimatum, has been received
by the board of public works.
Last February w. A. Davis, the
insurance inspector, notified the
board that the matter of complete
new and up to date work must be
taken up with the council. The
board has hesitated on account of
the many other expenses which
the city faces, such as new bridges
and repairs. The insurance COM
panies have taken risks on the city
hall in the past and the commits
sioners no doubt figured they would
continue to until the board was
ready to take up the matter.
But the last letter contains a
yelled threat. 1t asks the board
what became of the February
communication The fact is. moth
ing came of it at all. The electric
work about the hall is the old style
work, put in years ago. In places
the wiring is exposed and in others
is difficult to get to in case repairs
are needed There is evident fire
danger from crossed wires, but the
water system and the fire depart
ment so near has enabled the city
to secure insurance at the usual
rate.
Since the companies have paid
such heavy losses on account of the
San Francisco disaster there has
been much general overhauling of
all risks. Ilany insurance compan-
les consider the city hall the worst
risk in the city.
Commissioner O'Brien said this
morning:
IL intend to take the matter up
with the city council in the near
future. We have delayed this be-
fore principally because of the
heavy expense which it will neces-
state. 1t has reached a point now
where something should be done
and | shall SO recommend to the
council"

STAND FOR
CITY LIGHT

Thomas Maloney, president Of
the Central Labor union, has re-
ceived a number of replies to the
inquiries sent out to candidates as
to how they stood in regard to II
municipal light plant and the in
sertion Of an arbitration clause In
all future franchises granted pub
lie utility corporations.
The following candidates for
councilman go on record unre-
servedly for the arbitration and
light propositions:
Grant OKeefe, Cyrus Twitchell,
George Won Eschen, republican; L..
e. Brown, democrat, First ward.
Lewis Martin. republican; Frank
Ledwith. democrat, Fourth ward;
Joseph Phillips, w. ID. Wheaton, p.
Nelson, republican; Fifth ward.
IT, G. Rice favors arbitration of
labor troubles, but would have to
be shown that the municipal plant
would be a saving before voting in
favor of the proposition.
Lewis Lusk, republican candidate
for city treasurer, also said he ia.
vors both propositions.

WHAT WOMEN SUFFER
FOR LIBERTY IN RUSSIA

Then a furtive word or two Is
whispered by a passing traveller,
CARRIED as a peasant, and the awful
truth Is known-the wife and moth
er is a political prisoner in Siberia,
or In the mines in southern Russia,
which rival in their crueltles ST.
IBERIA at its worst.
The prison way stations through
which from 1907 to 1899 passed
S65 900 prisoners, Of whom about
one-fourth were women, have been
re-opened and are overcrowded. Re-
fined women, now lily clad, half
fed, are being thrust into cells reet-
ing with filth, They are at the
mercy of degraded jailers.
Consumption and typhoid reap
deadly toll. but are welcomed as
the alternative of the Siberian
dreads-insanity or suicide. Muir
derers and degenerates are COM
panions of young, pure girls whose
worst crimes have been to spread
the doctrines of the new revolution.
The sufferers have many heroic
examples to inspire them in their
suffering. They cheer each other
with the tragic deed OF Nine. Ku-
titonskaya. She was exiled with
her husband--a political offender.
The horrors of the treatment she
and her husband endured burned
revenge into her SOUL When q
freak of the high police circles set
her free, she travelled back TO tho
home of the governor who had con-
demned her to living torture. OBJ
tanning entrance to his office, she
shot him down.
The lash failed to break her
spirit. but she died from the effects
of the scourging, with her new born
babe dead in her arms.

NEW SCALES
No TROUBLE

No labor trouble materialized to-
day between employer and en-
ploye. Most local labor bodies,
since Jan. have framed new
scales of wages to go into effect to-
day The increases in most in
stances amount to so cents a day
1t was rumored on first publication
of the proposed new scales that
contractors in every br anch Of
work would refuse to grant any
raise, at least on a basis such as
proposed. uBt today every craft is
working as usual, and although
contractors in most instances have
not signed any particular agree
ment, there is tacit understanding
ments are merely matters of fom
ments, there Is a tacit understand
ing that their signatures to such
agreements are merely matters OF
form and will be made at a later
date. 1t was reported this morning
that the building laborers under
Contractor Weber, on the new Sa-
cred Heart hospital, near Mantle
park had gone out on strike, but
Mr.. Weber stated that work had
ceased in part to await the arrival
of needed brick material.
Building laborers who have been
receiving SO, $3.50 and 81 day,
ask $3.50, 81 and $3.50; painters are
raised from 81 to $3.50; hosting
engineers from TO IS; steam
filters helpers from $3.50 to 50.

GRAVES WILL BE
THERE next FALL

Notwithstanding the denials of
the Traction Co. officials that it is
the intention to invade the fair
grounds monopoly of the w. w. p.
Co., the cars of the company win
probably deliver passengers to the
big show this season. The state
ment that it was gravel the COM
pany is after is undoubtedly true, a
large quantity Of ballast being need
ed for the Inland Empire tracks,
but when the hauling Of gravel is
concluded there is reason to be-
lieve that the tracks of the Graves
concern will have been laid under
meath the tracks of the Northern
Pacific and the Occur d Alene line.
The plans of the subway are also
reported completed and will be
taken east to be presented to the
hackers of the company and COM
pared with the big subways of
eastern cities. No statement is
given out as to when work will be-
gin.

A double funeral, under the
auspices of the New England I'm
dertaking Co., will be held at 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The parents are overcome today.
Mr.. Beeman says he had used gun
powder, few grains at time, in
the family for years as remedy
for many ailments.
Frank Pittman. business asso-

a few grains. Both died, however.
Mr.. Beeman today is overcome

CL0YD CASE
NEARS END

What will happen to the school
boys who threw eggs at Prof. Cloyd
seems to be somewhat of a mys-
terry. Prof. Cloyd says the board in
tends to expell them and seems to
figure that the board will also find
out who they were. Supt. TOrmey
and Prof. Cloyd held long confer
ence on the subject this afternoon.
Members of the board refuse to
discuss the matter further than to
condemn the action of the boys. 1t
is understood that a quiet search
is ON to establish the identity Of
those who participated in the affair
on the understanding that they will
be expelled when their guilt is fully
established.
Prof. Cloyd completed his case
Saturday night and the prosecution
will have this evening for rebuttal
and argument. Prof. Cloyd is al
lowed an hour for argument and 1t
is thought the hearing will be con-
cluded Tuesday night.
None of the school authorities
would give out an official state
ment of the names of boys who
took part in the anti-Cloyd demon
stration and threw eggs at the pro
fessor and his wife when they
reach home the other evening. The
incident has tended to discredit
the whole proceedings against
Cloyd, however strongly the com
plainants condemn it.

Just as Evelyn was leaving The

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
BERLIN, April l. - Despite
strict censorship news is leaking
through to the European capitals of
the terrible treatment Of women
confined in the political prisons and
mines Of Russia and Siberia.
Daring women nave played lead

ready to sacrifice their lives. and
they are seeking to strike terror to
the horrors inflicted upon those
who are caught.
From the Akatui silver mines
come reports that hundreds of po-
l!tical prisoners have been placed in
chains and women formerly high
in political and social circles have
mad the clothing torn from their
bodies ana forced TO don the vermin
infected prison garments. Chains
have also been riveted on them, ana
every possible indignity offered to
make their condition more revolt
ing.
Among the women sufferers is
Nile. Maria Spiridonovo, assassin
of l.uzhenoffsky chief of police at
Tambov. She has struggled news
to her friends outside Russia that
she has been manacled and forced
to submit to indignities too terrible

peared mysteriously. Not even their
husbands or babes know the secret
of their fate until months have

The leader would cry, who bribed
