The course is much less danger

the famous flatiron turn and three

D|RT|EST PLACE
IN Town
w. W. P. co.'s MEDICAL LAKE
DEPOT MONUMENT TO ITS
SELFISH DISREGARD OF
CIVIC BEAUTY AND SANTA
TON.

Spokane has reason to be proud
of it's transportation facilities and
railroad improvements. The trans
pOration companies will not deny
that the money they have put into
buildings and the architectural
adornment of them has been wisely
invested.
The enterprise Of the city has
made everything in the nature of
convenient and pleasing facilities
the public's due.
Consider now the w. w. p. Co.'S
Medical Lake depot"
This socalled depot, despite it Is
owned by huge corporation, is
the filthiest public place in town.
A Chinese laundry is something
of palace in comparison. And it
is located almost in the center of
town. on Post street near the
river.
A casual inspection of the dirty
hole this morning showed the
platform" in front covered with
dirty grease, splashed milk, cigar
and cigaret stubs. Below the plat
form where the cars stand while
passengers are boarding Is covered
with oozing oil, dripped by the
cars. The smell is vile.
Inside the furnishings are a
couple of old benches, notched like
cracker boxes around New Eng
land grocery store. Beneath these
benches rubbish is piled high. Old
banana peels, cores of apples, peach
nuts, cigar stubs and expectora-
tons comingle with the dirt off the
street tracked in.
Several years ago the old mill
which Is now patched up and is
known as the depot" burned and
afforded the company opportunity
to continue its policy Of giving the
public just as little as possible for
its money. The conflagration left
enough of the building standing for
the company to tear out and paint
over some of the charred timbers
and house itself while 1t extracted
coin from the people who ride out
to Medical Lake.
The company advertises the
beauties of Medical Lake broadly.
Persons who have never made the
trip are carried away with the

descriptions OF the beauties--until
they go to the depot" to- board
the cars. That takes the edge off
all pleasant expectations.
Company officials have been talk
ing for the past three years OF
building a Medical Lake depot.
They're still talking about 1t. But
the place in which those who de-
sire to go to Medical Lake now
go into for protection from the ele-
ments still stands, and the ele-
ments are preferable to its un-
sanitary interior.

To the Voters Of tie
