Reports to the effect that electric lights
are detrimental to the eyesight are pro-
nounced unfounded by an electrical ex-

that the trouble arises from too direct
exposure of the eye to the light, and
that effect would be the same or worse
with any other light.

The Cazar's Opportunity.

All appears to depend on The social
democrats and their willingness to
unite with the more moderate consti-
tulional democrats in the proposals
which both rightly regard as essen
tlal. One Of these is political amnesty.
1t is subject on which the whole Of
Russia is profoundly moved. From
both donmas and from all parts Of
the empire Of the cry for amnesty has
continually gone up TO the czar. Tt
IS another opportunity which fate
has granted him to save his dynasty
and perhaps the country from ruin.
Will he take it9 BY one word he
could secure the respect if not tho
affection Of his people. But as yet
he has flung away the opportunities
one after another. IF he filings this
away he will immensely strengthen
the hands Of the xtrcmists.-London

DRESSMAKERS
DECLARE WAR

They won't stand it for a minute,
so they won't, and now they are
going to start a store of their own
and put the dry goods trust out Of
business as far as they are con-
cerned.
This is the decision reached by
the dressmakers of Spokane in ses-
sion assembled last night They'll
show that soulless monopoly of
silk and satin, to say nothing Of
calico and Bingham, a thing or two
before they are through.
To this end the dressmakers
poceeded to organize for war They
elected Ida Campbell president;
Sadies Eaton, vice president; Net
tie M. Ryan, secretary, and Nora
E. Adams, treasurer.
The reason for the rebellion is
the refusal of dealers to longer al
low the customary discount on
goods bought in quantity by the ar
lists who create the dazzling mys-
teres of feminine wear.
But that the dress architects will
have to actually start the proposed
independent store Is doubted. 1t
was Shakespeare who made the dis
covery that there is no particular
brand of fury like that of a wom-
an scorned, and when the scorning
arises over a matter of bargains it
becomes a matter of mighty mo-
ment. That even 8 dry goods trust
will care to encounter it collective
ly, as in this case, looks extremely
improbable. The dry goods dealer
has hankering for existence like
the rest of humanity.

territory and offered figures and

testimony.
The tax imposed on millmen by
conductors for setting out cars to
be loaded came to the surface in
the testimony of c. F. Patton, a
well known Sound lumberman. He
said the practice of buying cars
from trainmen had become so com
mon that the daily inquiry of the
millmen was: What is the price
of cars today?" 1t cost all the way
from 81 to SO to get car set on
mill siding.
Attorney E. ]. Cannon, for the
railroads, denied that any such
practice exists, but was informed
by Commissioner Lane that the
commission had testimony from all
over the country to show that this
form of holdup had become general,
and Cannon had nothing more to

KICK ON SEWER

The First Ward Improvement
club and about 200 property own
ers locked horns at the council
meeting last night over proposed
system advocated by the club. A
remonstrance was handed to the
council signed by 200 names. The
protestants say that sewer built
among the rocks in the western
part of the ward would prove too
expensive.
Just before adjournment Coun-
Gilman Funk offered a resolution
that the board, of public works be
instructed to draft plans and speci-
fication for First ward sewer. His
plan is to cut out the original sug-
gestion. The resolution was
adopted.
