,up for their neglect
Ben H. Rice, chief of the police de.
partment who assisted Mr.. White in
organizing the first cleaning day in
1905, says that the enthusiasm of the
residents Of Spokane was greater this
spring than two years ago, when 10000
men, and women assisted in making
spick and span. Everyone has been
active in beautifying and cleaning the
unsightly places in streets, drives. al
leys and yards and today the city is
as neat and clean as the proverbiaI
housewives kitchen. The results ac-
e0mplished are creditable to the CITY
and reflect the activity and public
spirit Of the people in making Spokane
the cleanest and best kept city on the
continent The planting of trees was
made a feature, one resident of the
city contributing 10000 packets of
flower seeds.
Frederic J. Haskln, traveller and coz.
respondent, who has visited praeti-
cally every part of the United States
and Canada and much of Europe and
the Orient, was in Spokane during
the height Of the campaign, on the
from Japan to Washington D. G. He
said of the cleaning day idea
"The Spokane plan has everything
to commend 1t and its adoption by
every town and city on the continent
should be universal. Every man takes
the same pride in the cleanliness OF
the city that he has in the appearance
Of his house and yard. This yearly
assembling OF the people of the city
for a day of house cleaning, and uni
ted effort for the Identification of
the city is bound to be far reaching
in It's effect. It will keep alive the in
terest Of every resident in the great
work throughout the entire year.
"One Of the big results of the work
is the reduction of the death rate,
which is already very low in this
part of the Northwest, and it will 20
for toward depopulating he hospitals.
1t is certain to spread abroad the
fame of Spokane, mad it means in
creases in the values of properties and
added wealth, to say nothing of at
tracing population and capital. This.
it would appear to me, is only one
of the many reforms for which the
cities and towns in the eastern and
southern states are indebted to the
great Northwest, where people do
things. 1t is a great work and should
be encouraged everywhere"

Spokane, Wash, Aprin23. Fifteen
thonsand school children have been or

the planting Of trees, towering vines
and shrubs as a fitting climex to the

that the sonata took all the best IN one

no reason for her going in so des.

"One would think she had made a

after an evening when he had not been

with Kitty. "Colgrove kept her at

When invitations were out to Col.
