WORK ON
/ CITY WATER
| SUPPLY
HIGH WATER BEFORE WELL IS
COMPLETED MEANS ANOTH-
Err SEASON OF CONTAINING
ATED DRINK.

An impending danger that may
compel Spokane to use sewer water
another season for drinking and
cooking Is pointed out in a report
rendered the board of public works
by E. C. Wood, superintendent Of
construction of the new water sup
ply who recently resigned because
of friction with City Engineer
Ralston.
In this report, covering his opera
tons from Nov. Is, when the wells
were commenced, Wood says:
"The setting of underwater
work must receive the first early
attention, as a permanent rise Of
one foot of river would seriously
hinder making connections, and
two feet would render it impossible
to use the system the coming sea-
son.
"As some of the pipe is already
placed in the tunnel, and as the
balance is all on the ground, there
should be no reason for delay in
making the connections.
"The concrete ring in the well
and the bricking up of same is also
worthy of early consideration, as a
rise of water would make this i'm
possible and caving would result,
if left over until next low water"
That it Is the intention of the
city engineer to avoid this danger
is demonstrated by the fact that
three of his assistants, Lindsey,
Grant and Thyng are now on the
job held by Wood alone. The lat
ter's complaint was lack of help,
which he was unable to get.
Woods reports show that the $50
yards of concrete foundation re-
main to be set, and this should not
take longer than March Is, at
which time the machinery shipped
Feb. q should arrive. Piling for
the foundation will be completed
within few days, and much of the
form work is ready for quick cree
ton as soon as the pile driving is
finished
A we'll 80 feet in diameter has
been tfmbered to a depth of 33 feet,
the water level, and sunk II feet
deeper, a portion of the latter
depth being encased in steel. This
work was estimated at So per cubic
yard to water level and IS per yard
under water. The actual cost for
total excavation has amounted to
only $1.S5 per yard.
A 70 foot tunnel has been COM
n1ntn1 fhic haivo c1o
difficult. the cost being $3.50 per
lineal foot.
In conclusion Mr.. Wood says:
"The extra cost of the work, of
about double the original estimate,
was occasioned, as you are aware,
by the doubling of the capacity of
the whole plant, from $4,000 gal
Ions per minute to 10000 gallons
per minute, and was considered by
the board to be justified.
THE extra cost is contained in
the machinery, foundations, piping,
valves, fiume connections, etc.
Believing the work to have been
done with strength, economy and
speed, and knowing beyond shad-
ow of doubt that the supply Of
gravel-fltered water will be ample
in supply and unequalled in purity,
| feel well repaid for the thought
and labor expended on design and
construction.
Had l completed the work as
had it outlined, l expected to turn
the new supply into the city mains
by the middle of April, and this will
give 80 days after the arrival of
machinery"

draw the deep embroidered edge
tightly around the mouth and
chin and look as if they belonged
in tent show.
How to wear dots should also be
carefully studied. Large features
are enhanced by small dots, but
should beware of the big ones,
square or round. They only &C
centuate large nose or wide
mouth.
To the woman with small fea-
lures, however, they are an adorn-
ment if adjusted as colonial bellies
did patches of court plaster. A
large dot near the corner of the
mouth makes a substitute for a
dimple or calls attention to Cupid
bow curves.
But it's the color of the veil that
makes or mars any complexion. II
there is a particle of color in the
face a blue veil turns it purple.

Why Not? Just Look at the Violinists and Piansts with Shaggy Names.

The newest scheme for making hair grow on bald heads is treatment by music.
 So far as any definite conclusions nave been reached it appears that string music, including the piano. is favorable to the growth of the hair. while wind instruments, especially the wood wind. are destructive to it.
 Look at Paderewski. says the advo- cate of the remedy Hasn't he some hair2 And what about Isaye and hubelik? Go back to Paganini and Rubinstein and Liszt. Did you ever see violinist or a piano virtuoso who hadn't hair enough to stock a wigmaker?
 On the other hand, look over any orchestra or brass band if you can catch it with its hats of. Did one ever see flute player or a cornetist or a trombone operator who wasn't either bald or getting there?
 An attempt to explain the alleged difference is made by assuming that the powerful vibrations of the wind instruments drive the blood out of the scalp, while the strings awaken q

Cultivation of Gossin

A visionary man has undertaken to cultivate gossip. Gossip of the past ana present, he believes, has been too Wild, rank and careless, and he is anx. lous that it be pruned and trimmed. eoltiVated gossip will certainly not be as entertaining, spicy and palatable as the loose and untamed kind, but 1t Is believed that it will do less harm to the neighbors
 There are those persons who feel that cultivated gossip will be stale flat and unproftable. Gossip, to he good gossip, must have a bite. a tin. gle and tang to it. Gossip to be most interesting must be injurious to somebody The most popular gossip must have plenty of scandal in it. If scandal should be censored out of gos- sip there would be no gossip, and this would be an inconceivable condition.

 There is no royal road to athletic power any more than there is royal road to learning.
 You cant go to bed ignorant and wake the next morning with a college education; nor can you learn by a few weeks of over.study what takes a nor mai boy years to acquire
 It is the same with athletics. Most boys, sooner or later, have longings to be strong. Most of them take out this ambition in mere planning; few more do great deal too much ath- letic work for week or so and then gradually cease doing any at all Yet they wonder that they notice no bene- fit from what little they have done.
 Persistent Effort Required.
 Now, athletic prowess is like an edu. cation. It cannot be mastered except by steady and long work If you look on this work as bore and fail to con. centrate your mind on it you may as well give up all hopes of becoming an athlete. It is only the boy whose in- terest in exercise is strong enough to keep him at it consistently who can aspire to athletic honors. To such a boy there is nothing impossible. He will succeed in athletics as he will sue ceed in later life; perhaps he will owe much of the latter success to the for mer.
 Now the boy who has not the strength of purpose to keep up the athletic career he has once begun will gain nothing by reading these les sons. They are written for the boy who wants to De an athlete. and who will stick to the exercise until he be- comes one. 1 know how hard it is to remember to go through all your ex- ercises every day and how easy it is to get in the habit of postponing them until some more convenient season. and to end by emitting them alto gether.
 But the same applies to school work. If you can set aside a portion of each day for school you can set aside far smaller portion of the day for ath- letics.
 Let me suggest that you get three or four other boys to form with you a sort of informal athletic club and that you exercise together. In this way you cannot only point out each other mistakes and have a chance to com pare your improvements with that of others, but the presence of others will help you resist the temptation of giving up the work.

"Risine" and "sinkins" Exercise. the chest, lie holding them straight above the head and at every second rise bring them down to the sides This is of benefit to the chest as well as to the upper arm muscles.
 A "supplins" Movement.
 After you have gone through this first exercise the required number of times, stand up, heels together, chest out, arms hanging loosely.
 Now stoop forward, without moving the feet, keeping the whole body be- low the waist perfectly rigid Bend forward until your finger tips touch the floor in front of you.
 You may be unable to touch the floor in this fashion the first time you try. But by practicing constantly your muscles will soon Timber up" suffi- ciently to enable you to do SO Re member to keep the legs rigid. the knees unbent. while doing this.
 Having touched the floor rise to an upright posture and try the same mo- ton over again. When counting In this exercise take three seconds to touch the floor and three more to rise again.
 Do this four times the first morn ing and increase 1t by one each morn. ing, until you get 1t up to 20.
 Now, standing as before, keeping the heels together. bend as far back as you can, without losing your bal. ance; and recover your upright pos. ture once more. This backward mo tion should be done slowly and easily. with no wrench or jerkiness in the re- covery. Do not lean back so far that It will be any strain on back or abco- men to recover your former position. Practice will enable you to go farther backward as time goes on.
 Try this. too, four times the first morning, increasing by one, until you reach 20.
 Then try the forward motion again. until the fingers touch the floor: and. on recovery, do not stop at the upright posture, but continue moving the upper half of the body backward. thus combining the two motions. and re. covering, move forward until the fin. gers again touch the floor. Try the daily increase of one on this motion too. These forward and backward mo ttons are excellent for both abdomen and back, especially for the latter, and are also good for the legs.

peat four time. the first morning, not

peat four times the first morning, not stopping to rest between times. After that increase the number of rises" by one each morning till you can rise and sink back 20 times. If you find you cannot stand this ratio of increase without undue fatigue increase by one every other morning instead of every morning
 Old-time gymnasts were taught to rise entirely to a sitting posture in this exercise. This, however is harm full. For after you are about three quarters of the way up the strain be- gins to fall on the spine, which it wearies without strengthening.
 This rising and sinking" exercise Is splendid for strengthening all the mus cles of the back and abdomen. and is also beneficial for the leg muscles.
 In this as well as in all the other ex- ercises do not loaf. At the same time de not move jerkily. Every movement should be regular and quick, but not sudden
 For instance, when starting begin 'lSo lo ccdHt OHe, two, three, lOuF. At the word Two you should be 'up;" at the word 'foGr' you should be on your back again; starting to rise again at the next count Of one" A second should elapse between each two counts.

fragile and tire easily or if you are one of those boys who seem to be cut out or hickory knot. In either case you can become an athlete if you keep at it long enough.
 President Roosevelt-long before he was president-told me that as a boy he was sickly and delicate. By ath- leuc work and outdoor exercise he ac- quired physique and brain that have given the word strenuous" a new meaning. The present emperor of Germany was another fragile child whom early athletics rendered strong and vigorous. James J Corhett. the boxer is third of many such exam. ples that might be cited.
 It is not the boy or man with the enormous, cast-iron muscles who is the ideal athlete The true athlete is he who has every muscle trained and supple, who has every inch of his body under perfect and immediate control. whose brain and body are in perfect accord. The OK has twice the size muscle and pulling power of the tiger. yet the tiger is by far the more for midable. So the trained athlete is easily the master of the longshoreman or street tough.
 Many boys will object that they are too busy at school to go in for ath- leties. This is a mistake.
 While you are in school or studying, banish every thought of athletics Aom your mind and think of nothing but the book before you. But you will find you have ample time. outside of study aours, to become an athlete.

wooLseY SATISFIED.

President William Woolsey of the TurnbuIl Development company, who has been in the city for number of days, leaves for San Carlos today, where he will look after the mines for a number of weeks. The development company owns a group of f ourteen claims on the strip and the outlook is very encouraging.
 "we have in sight forty-foot ledge of ore that will run thre eper cent cop per and some values in silver" said Mir. Woolsey yesterday. The original development work was the sinking of a shaft on this mineralized ledge, but we discovered before we attained great depth that water was going to be a great obstacle, and we have abandoned the shaft and are now driving a 300- foot tunnel, whicn will crosscut the ledge and afford us perfect drainage. We consider the proposition g bonanza. The mine is only twelve miles distant from the railroad and there is good wagon road for ten miles of the dis tance, leaving only two-mile stretch to build. It is a down hill pull from the mine to the railroad. We a-e now shipping ore on a small scale, but will be sending ores--rich in sulphur-to the O.
