TO MAKE GOOD

Sec. Jones, of the 10000 club,
addressed the Central Labor union
last night on the Home for the
F'riendless project and what is still
to be done to make the new home
the complete success intended. An
intelligent and sympathetic inter-
est in line with organized labor's
attitude from the first toward the
home was displayed by the dele
gates present and the work of con-
solidating labor's contribution Is
now merely a matter of detail.
Sec. Jones is convinced that every
promise was made in good faith
and will be fulfilled.
Federal union No. 1854 has
raised 5000 for the home, and the
plumbers union will donate the
plumbing work needed to make the
building sanitary and comfortable.
These are only few of the many
offers made by the various unions

MISSING ADAMS
WITNESS FOUND

PORTLAND, March 31.-The
missing witness in the Steve
Adams case, Archie Phillip, whose
testimony was considered so valu-
able that the state searched far
and wide for him, turned up in
Portland today. He says he has
been in British Columbia in hiding
and declares he was hurried out of
the United States in fear of the
fate of Harvey Brown, who was a
friend of his and who knew much
the same testimony he did.
Phillip says he has been made
many tempting offers to return to
Idaho and be ready to testify
against Adams, but will not accept
them. He says the only thing that
saved him suffering the same fate
as Brown was the fact that he left
the country and Brown didn't.

Sanitary Inspector Otto Bittrick
has a plan which has been en-
dorsed by the board of health
which he believes would solve the
question of insuring clean and
healthy meat to Spokane consum-
ers. 1t has been put in shape TO be
recommended to the city council.
If properly understood there seems
no reason why it should not mer..
the support of public endorsement
which Is necessary in strong meas
ure to produce any immediate &C
tion by the council.
Btirick says the present system
of inspection is all right as far as
1t goes, but is not extensive enough
TO properly safeguard the public
against bad meat. He hold that
the inspection of meats at slaugh-
ter houses is the only certain meth
cd of detecting ulsease and sub
mits the following plan to attain
that end:
AT present we have seven
Strengthening places, of them which
only one has inspection at the
plant The others have no inspec-
tors and could not get any until
such time as buildings were differ
emily arranged and on more mod
ern plan.
The plan | am satisfied will
work better Is for the city to build
a large Strengthening plant big

the small dealers. BY having a
plant of that kind work could be
done to a better advantage than 1t
is now done by the different small
dealers. BY charging a reasonable
price for Strengthening, AMI by saw
ing all fats, making use of cut
bone, fertilizer. etc, all of which
have ready market all the time.

ment the city could have, and meat
passed through said plant would

States authorities could be induced
to place men in charge that would
not cost the city anything for in

This would mean a whole lot to
