all claimed for it, would impose a
heavy expense for proper main
tenance.
The distant supply is probably
what the city will have to come to
unless the underground supply
proves to be superior to what even
Its advocates expect. But the un-
derground plan Is the best available
at this time to escape the dire con.
sequences of sewage soon to be
turned into the river at Occur
dAlene, in fact the only speedy re.
course there is.
Meanwhile, If the city secures a
supply that will be good for years
from the subterrean supply source,
or Is forced to reach out for a lake
supply at comparatively early
date, the power station should be
retained.
1t is the city's only source OF
power for a municipal electric light
plant, something that is badly need.
ed now and will be as valuable in
future even though the Graves peo-
pie are competing for city light.
The city plant would be worth its
cost, even II not operated, as
club over both companies.
Naturally both corporations are
keenly interested In taking this last
power site on the river out of the
city's hands, and / or the other
will certainly get it by hook or
crook, If necessary, unless the pub
lie is wide awake to its interests
in retaining the site.
Under direction of the city en-
gineer, rs foot we'll has been sunk
on the up-river site for the purpose
of tapping the underground flow
of water. 1unneling from this
shaft is now being done and a re-
port of It's effectiveness is expect
ed soon. The underground supply
is endorsed by the board Of health,
city engineer and committee of
the 10000 club.
The talk of filtration plant is
believed to be a handy subterfuge
of those who have designs upon
the dam site. Well knowing that
the expense of filtration beds is
prohibitive just now, not to men,
ton the continual expense Of main
tenance and cleaning cost, they be-
lieve that the city may be induced
to give favorable consideration 70
the lake plan Immediately and thus
divert public attention long enough
to accomplish possession Of the
power site.

WANT LUNO FOR
CONGRESS

Considerable discussion is taking
place among those who pay atten-
ton to politics as to who will be
the candidate Of Spokane county
republicans for congress to sue.
coed Jones. A number of candi-
date have been talked of, and
the friends of each are as busy as
beavers erecting their fences.
The most prominently mentioned
for the post at Washington are
Postmaster Harrison, D. T. Ham, H.
Ludden and Charles P. Lund.
From all that can be gathered
Lund seems to have the largest
following and will be a big factor
in the race providing he will con-
sent to enter the contest.
1t is known that he has been
asked to allow the use of his name,
but up to the present time has re-
fused to do so. He says he will
have to give the matter further con-
sideration before agreeing to make
the fight.
1t is generally admitted in east
ern Washington that this city is
entitled to a representative in con-
gress, and If the people of Spokane
will unite upon some good, capable
man there is little doubt of his
land the prize.
The friends of Mr.. Lund say
that in him they have an ideal can
didate. They point to his past
services as a high private in the
ranks of the local republicans, and
say he has never received the rec
ognition he deserves. They con-
tend that he is young and energetic
and very able and that he has new
err been tied up with the corpora
tions or special interests in any
way, and would, If elected, be in a
position to represent all the peo-
pie of his district and the state
without fear or favor.
The fact that the other candi-
dates have for years held Office and
are in almost every instance a part
and parcel of the old regime that
has controlled the policy Of the re-
publican party and the politics OF
the state is considered sufficient
reason for their being eliminated
from the congressional fight.
1t is known that Mr.. Lund has
been rendered all kinds of support
from all classes OF citizens and his
campaign is likely to arouse con
siderable enthusiasm.

C|TY'S POWER SITE
Surface Signs Show Plan to Deprive City OF
Last Location Available for Municipal
Light Plant

Is the present agitation over the
source of Spokane's water supply
a scheme of private parties to get
control Of the dam site near the up
river pumping station, which Is
second in power only to the Wash
ing Water Power falls on Post st. ?
Two years ago at dinner given
by F. Lewis Clark, proposition
was made that private parties buy
the city water system and run 1t.
So much opposition developed as
soon as the project became known
that 1t was dropped. Since that
time there has been kept up at in
tervals agitation of a water supply
from some of the nearby lakes.
Should it be decided to obtain lake
supply, the up-river dam would be
for sale. This is the only place
left on the river where power may
be obtained. The falls at Trent,
Post Falls and Nine Mile are now
controlled by the Graves and
Washington Water Power Co. in
terests.
r. N. Smith, a civil engineer, who
has offered to make surveys to as
certain the feasibility of lake
supply, gratis, Is employed In the
Graves Offices. He is a salaried
man and oners to spend almost 1
year without pay for the benefit"
of the city.
Mr.. Smith was employed in the
city engineering department for
almost years and we'll knows that
that Office is in possession of data,
plans and estimates Of lake sup
ply which it will take year to
collect. He could easily secure
and go over this data to make his
report. Yet he offers to devote a
year of his time for no recompense.
When it is considered that no
other surveys are needed, the deal
has a queer aspect and appears on
its face to be scheme to secure
the city site.
There Is no question but that a
6water supply from a lake that
could be protected from contain
ination would be an ideal source for
the city to draw upon. and no good
and specific reasons why such a
lake could not be found and utilized
has yet been given.
The cost would be great, but the
supply would be worth the money.
At present number OF physicians
and other interests are talking
lightly of investing nearly a 81

a filtration plant that. II capable of

SALOON MEN
DETERMINED

That the liquor interests have
not abandoned the plan to estab-
lish a saloon in Union park In spite
Of the fact that 95 per cent Of the
people out there are outspokenly
against it, is evidenced by the fl
ing of a petition containing Is
names in favor of granting the H.
cense. This list represents the
sentiment in favor against 1900
opposed.
1t remains to be seen which is
the most influential with the cOun-
Gil, Is or 1900 The former, how
ever, have the liquor influence
with them and are applying 70
council generous with liquor IL
censes, as Spokane's 210 saloons
testify.
And the chief of police is already
moving against the irresponsible
brewery management of 200 Of
these.
1t is significant that Capt. Gray.
councilman from the Second ward.
is openly in favor of granting the
Union park license. Gray repre-
sents the ward containing the ten
derloin. the stronghold Of the liquor
interests. There Is no indication
that he Is not doing his best to rep
resent the wishes Of his con-
stituents in this as in other mat
tiers, lesson that Funk and
Brown, of the First ward, might
profitably apply to their own part
of town. If they do there is small
chance for the Union park saloon
scheme.
