GAINS FAVOR

If the number of wagons and pop

terion,- the public market is an as
sured success, although only a
week in operation. This morning
81 wagons were lined up against
the curb. The opening day last Sa-
turday saw "a rigs in line.
Two Cinnamon who have been
peddling around town have given
up on account of lack of patronage
and they were backed up to the
public market but were little pa
tronized.
Only six licensed peddlers are
doing business there. They are
selling mostly tropical fruits and do
not compete to any extent with the
farmers.
Farmers from Opportunity are

Opportunity denoting where
their goods are raised. 1t makes
a neat advertisement for that Sec
ton of farming country.

The most dangerous building in
the city, from a standpoint Of fire
liability, according to a decision
reached by the fire commission, Is
the Spokesman-Review block, own
ed by w. II. Cowles. SO dangerous
is this structure that in protection
to the hundred or more people
housed there during the night and
day, the commission today ordered
many changes to provide means Of
escape from fire.
Although the commission has or
dered changes made on practically
every old block In the city, more
changes were ordered on the Re-
view than in any other.
Pres. ]. T. O'Brien has sent out
more than hundred letters to
owners and agents, demanding that
new means Of protection be insti.

include the Review, Hyde, Sher-

others.

HERE'S ANOTHER PRIZE
PACKAGE CITY BRIDGE.

A subject of much interest to
taxpayers is the cost of the steel
bridge now in course of construc-
ton on Stevens ST. This bridge
will open an additional outlet for
the Great Northern depot, but
what other advantage it has is not
apparent.
At the time the concrete bridges
were proposed the city had en-
route steel for a new bridge on
Havermale st. 1t was bought for
$13,445. On its arrival the city
officials did not know what to do
with the material, and 1t was al
lowed TO remain on the cars until
demurrage charge of $3.50 ac-
cumulated. Included In the How

and the Havermale structure.

was several months ago.

about $4,000. The cost of ap-

HOW TO VOTE AT
DIRECT PRIMARY

longer than what such judges mag
consider a reasonable length Of
time for the voter to prepare his
ballot.
If through accident or mistake a
voter spoils his ballot he must re
turn the spoiled ballot to the
judges of election, as he Is not
permitted to destroy or take the
ballot from the poll. The judges
of election will then give him a
new ballot.
When the voter has prepared his
ballot and before he leaves the
booth he should fold it in such a
way that the number on the back
of it will appear on the outside and
the face of the ballot. will be con-
cealed. He will then hand the bal
lot to one of the election officers,
who will deposit it In the ballot
box.
Any person offering to vote may
jbe challenged by the officers OF
election or by any legal voter upon
two general grounds. One ground
of challenge would be to question
the right of such person to vote at
all, and the other would be to ques-
ton his right to vote the ticket of
the particular party which he in
tends to vote at the primary.
If the challenge IS made upon the
first ground the person offering to
vote will be sworn by one of the
judges and made to answer ques-
lions touching his residence, quail
fications, etc.
II the challenge is made on the
ground that the person offering to
vote is not member of the party
whose ticket he intends to vote, he
shall be required to make oath that
he intends to affiliate with that
party at the ensuing election and
whose candidates generally he in
tends to support.
