CHILDREN TO ERECT STATUTE
Washington School Pupils to be Ask

Washington School Pupils to be Ask
ed to Make Contributions.
February %. washington's birthday,
has been selected as the day on which
the school children of Washington will
be given an opportunity to contribute
to the fund for the erection of a stat
ute of Washington on the campus of
the University of Washington at Sc
attic. says the Walla walla Union.
No school child is to be allowed to
contribute more than five cents in this
way and any sum less than that
amount will be received. At the meet
ing Of the teachers at Bellingham
last December, it is stated. the teach
ers voted almost unanimously in IN
vor of having the children contribute
to the fund. The opinion was freely
expressed among the teachers at that
time that the feeling of patriotism
would be fostered by a movement Of
this kind, as 1t would give all who con-
tribute the right to feel that they have
done something to commemorate the
father of their country.
This will be the first monument Of
Washington erected west Of the Miss
issippi and VIII. it Is estimated cost
over $4,000 when completed.
The movement originated with the
Daughters of the American Revo,u.
tion. and already several thousand dol
lars have been contributed. II is
the purpose of the committee TO have
the monument unveiled during the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition.

CAUSES OWLS
TO LOOK WISE
Eastern Men Say Western
Order is infringement
On Copyrights

The following clipping from the
Walla Walla Evening Bulletin may in
terest the young men who recently
joined the Brotherhood of Owls in
this city:
Are there two Owl orders in the
United States? This question Is
bothering the members of the order in
this city since the developments yes
terday,. when letters were received
from the supreme secretary OF the
Order of Owls of South Bend, Indiana,
stating that the order organized by
Fl. l.. Leavitt was an infringement.
The question will not be SATISFACTORY
ly answered until Leavitt returns from
British Columbia, where he is insti-
tuting new nests.
The literature of the two lodges is
identical, as is the motto The button
is practically the same. The eastern
order claims its stuff Is copyrighted,
and so does the local order
The letter received in the city is
couched in decidedly warm terms and
threatens prosecutions for infringe
ments unless things are Immediately
Strengthened up. The letter said that
the attorneys at the capital had been
written to regarding the matter.
The members of the grand nest re-
ceived the letters and there will be
some explanations asked and urged
when Mr.. Leavitt returns. If the To-
cal order has the priority the eastern
men may be sued but If 1t is the
western order that is infringing, the
eastern order may bring suit
Decidedly interesting developments
are expected. =

CHECK FOR s5,OsO
Will Be Offered Amelia (. Ben edict Without Interest

At meeting of the board of finance yesterday afternoon an opin- ion was received from City Attorney Kellogg relative to the claim of Amelia c. Benedict for $5,000 with interest since l89O, all amounting to $11,239.27. The bill was for an award of damages for the layout cf Liberty street to Bank street. The Benedicts were offered the sum of $5,000 when the street was ordered worked, but they refused to accept it. Now they want it, with interest. MT Kellogg says they are entitled to the original award, but no interest. The clerk was instructed to notify the petitioner that the check will be delivered to her on demand. It will be remembered that when the street was laid out the railroad company got an award of over $5,000, but called several years ago and took theirs. The actual work of opening the street never was done, but re- gently new layout was adopted fol- lowing the same route, but, in this case the street is sixty feet wide in- steady of forty. An additional award of over s3.O00 was made to the Benedicts on the new line.
 The board voted to recommend that >$400 be transferred from the police account to streets, repairs and maintenance.

SIGNED AWAY CLAIMS
Edward Street Property Owners
 May Be in a Bad Mess

The bureau of assessment held a meeting last night and heard parties interested in the proposed change of grade on Edward street. This is a rather peculiar case and it looks as if the board caught the property owners in bad trap. The thing has been hanging fire for years, but the present board of public works decided to take it up on condition that the abutting property owners sign waiver stating that they would claim no damages on account of the change, which contemplates the low ering of the grade of Alder and Ed ward strets. The waiver denies them any redress in the courts so far as claiming damages go, but it gives them no protection regarding an as sessment of benefits which the board, may levy against them. When con- fronted with this question last night it was plain from what some of them had to say that they didn't fully un- derstand what they were doing when they appended their names to the waiver The city is now in position to assess them benefits, but they can not collect damages. This condition should be remedled. The people, are in a bad mess and it is the duty of the board to get them out of it with out further delay and at no expense to the property owners, for they have already been assessed all the proper ty can afford to pay. The original grade necessitated the construction of a wall so high that some houses were rendered almost useless, and nearly all the buildings on the east erly end of the street were prac- tically buried. The signers to the waiver include J. hichard Smith, E. F. Cowle, A. A.. Irion and half dozen others.

Santa at Friendly League.

''The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
 In hopes that St Nicholas soon would
 be there."
 Santa Claus has already arrived in Waterbury and was seen in the Friendly league entertainment hall last night, while the members were holding their Christmas party. No one saw where he went when he left, but he certainly was there, happy and merry and full of fun. The zchimney was all ready and he didn't t seem to mind the fire at all He just knocked down the bricks and gave them away, changing them with his magic into boxes of candy. And then the presents! There was one for everybody, and just the right thing, too. The Christmas tree was lovely, but he didn't touch that. I suppose he has Christmas trees al ways at the north pole, but he did like the league and stayed ever so long. He even looked as though he would like to dance, only he was far too old for that. Get ready for him and go to bed early on Christmas eve, for he's here.
