TIME, PLACE AND GIRL

The police were somewhat mys-
titled yesterday at the receipt of
two kilograms, one telling them
to stop Beatrice, an illustrated
song singer" and the other from
Beatrice herself, who said man
was with her on the train and she
was fearful of him.
The police met the Lewiston
train on it's arrival and found that
l.. A. Porter, a fruit grower OF
Lewiston, had followed the singer
claiming that she was fleeing with
his diamond ring. 1t turned out
that the girl pawned the ring in
Lewiston for SIS to get to Seattle
on, so Porter let the matter drop
saying he would put up the money
and get his ring back.
He claimed he loaned it to the
woman so she would look better In
her singing. The verdict of the
police was that she looked wei
enough anyway.

QUIT ROBB|NC
WATER FUND

When the city council meets to
consider the appropriations and
tax levy for the coming year, City
Comptroller Farley will urge that
all moneys relating to the water
department be placed in a fund set
aside for water department needs
and nothing else. Heretofore some
of the water revenues have been
paid into the general fund and the
same later returned out of the gen
eral taxes.
Mr.. Fairley's idea is to let the
water department stand on its own
footing, if possible paying all de-
mands on it, even to bonds and
interest, out of the receipts from
the sales of water.
The people could then, deter
mine, he said, how they are run
ming in their operation of the
water plant.

CHRISTENING RUNS
INTO COMBAT

What was intended to be a
merry christening of the daughter
of James Casino, a shoemaker,
$50 Sherman street, yesterday,
turned into a fight instead on ac-
count of the too frequent libations
from a cask of wine which Casino
provided in honor of the occasion
Casino Is in Jail on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons, Sam
Sarvalli and Joe Girardi are in
durance for fighting.
The combat started in the house
and wound up in the street, where
both Carvalli and Girardi fought
without hurting each other much.
Casino took part in the conflict
to the extent of driving the bellig-
erents from his home at the point
of a stilleto and then demanding
of Patrolman Bunker, who reached
the scene in time to prevent more
bloodshed, what business he had
| to butt in. When Casino was
searched at headquarters knife
and revolver were taken from him

ROBBED HIM
TWICE

His home ransacked by burglars
and himself robbed by highway
men was the experience last night
which befell Thomas Graham, E7O4
Harson avenue. He was within
a block of his home about
o'clock when two men stepped be
fore him fro ma dark part of the
street and with drawn revolvers
compelled him to hold up his
hands while they took SGT from
his pockets.
Arriving home few moments
later Graham found his home topsy-
turvy. Investigation showed that
a suit case and about all the clothes
and things of small value it would
contain were stolen. On account
of the darkness he could not get
a description of the holdup men.

HIGHER LEVY
HIGH TAX

City Comptroller Robert Farley
has made calculation, based on
the estimates of the heads of de-
partments for the coming year,
that y sill require s1,1S4, 494.4O to
run the city during the fiscal year
of 1909.
This total is made up of esti-
mates by heads of departments
calling for s1,036.2sS; interest on
bonds, $S1,500; sinking fund, $685.
000; deficits, s41,714,40; total ST.
1S4,494.40.
OF this amount s239,OO0 will be
raised by licenses and s112,70O
from water, leaving the balance,
$S32,794, to be raised by taxa
ton.
On an Appropriated basis of a
valuation of between $64,00O,00O
and s65, 100000 this means a tax
levy of 13A mills or one quarter
of a mill higher than last year.
AS the valuation of real estate
for taxation is nearly doubled this
year a levy this size would mean
a big increase in the average citi-
zen's taxes next year.

| BRIDGE K|NK

Indications today are that moth
ing will be done soon toward build
ing the steel bridge ordered last
week at Olive avenue by the city
council In addition to the delay
incident to closing a contract with
the Spokane Traction Co. as to its
share of the bridge cost, the situa-
ton has been still further COM
plicated by a suit in punishment
filed Saturday by the Merchants
association on behalf of the Holley
Mason Hardware Co. against the
Burrell Bridge Co. attaching the
certified check for $4,000 on de-
post with ]. T. O'Brien. clerk of
II e board of public works, in an
action to recover on two notes
given year ago and calling for
$594.80.
AS 20 days will be required for
service, this suit may tie up the
board of public works for that
length of time, unless the Burrell
company settles the account.
There is considerable talk of an
effort to have the city council re-
consider it's vote on the Olive av-
enue steel bridge taken at the last
meeting and ordering the prepare
ton of plans for concrete to con-
tinue. Beyond the action taken by
the carpenters union Friday night
no definite steps along this line
have yet been taken. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the Central
Labor union will urge reconsidera
ton of this action at it's regular
meeting tonight.
The Burrell Bridge Co. is very
DESTROYS of closing a contract with
the city. In letter received Sa-
turday by Secretary O'Brien, of the
board of works, the Burrell COM
rany said it was ready to close
the contract and construct the
bridge Immediately and we do not
think water conditions will inter
sere.' The company expresses a
doubt of the city's ability to secure
as low bid from any other firm

appointed just four years ago
The thing was an experiment and
the appointment therefore was for
only one month and without a sal

The first duty of the school
nurses day is routine inspection.
This consists in having the pupils
in every class room pass before her
In single file, each child pausing
long enough to permit a brief ex-
animation of head, hair, eyes, teeth
and throat. Note Is also made of
the general condition of neatness.
A close watch is kept for symptoms
of any serious ailment. When such
cases are found they are promptly
reported to the medical inspector

TRIED TO bR|bE
LEWIS

A new feature has been injected
into the Central Labor union in
vestigation of primary election
graft by a report that someone
had offered to deliver the entire
union labor vote of the city to Rid
path for governor for $500.
Attorney w. S. Lewis, campaign
manager for Ridpath, admitted to
the committee that such offer had
been made to him. He said it had
been rejected, but declined to give
the name of the man who asked
the money.
Mr.. Lewis says that parties
came around headquarters Offering
to deliver votes for anywhere from
$50 up to $1,000, but that the of
fers were all made in private and
until he can procure corroborative
evidence he does not care to start
anything.

the errand was revealed, seized a

The nurse stood her ground un

veritable riot of oriental fancy,
that little room looking out upon a
spreading maple with it's leaves

early autumn.
She has not abandoned as yet
any feature of the native Japanese
dress, and every article in the fur

The floor, the low chairs, the win
dow seat, are all Uttered with
cushions. The rug is vari-colored
with the favorite Japanese hues

The screens are inlaid with mother

winged birds in the daintiest of

So far as she has seen America

rapidly mastering the English
tongue and expects to have very
enjoyable winter. Certainly she
will be one of the most unique fea-
lures of the social season.
