MCDONALD WILLING TO STAY
WHERE HE is UNTIL COURT
CAN UNRAVEL MYSTERY OF
MISSING CHILDREN.

Attorney J. M. Mcdonald,
charged with kidnapping the seven
year old daughter of his brother,
today gave as one of his reasons
for not making any further effort
to secure his own release, from the
Spokane county Jail the-fact. that
he fears violence at the hands of
his brother, George c. NcAhald,
father of Madeline and aLo3H Nc
Donald, for whose custody legal
battles have been fought in the
courts of three states. j. M. Nc
Donald does not consider his
brother right mentally, And says
that this mental weakness is to a
degree responsible for aH the trou-
BILE that has ensued over the chill
dren
Here is what a man receives
for his kind efforts in behalf of
other people, said McDonald to-
day. when the wife and children
of my brother were on the verge
of starvation and nothing remain
ed open to them except the doors
of some orphan asylum | took them
in and gave them food, clothing
and shelter and provided for their
education. The parents had been
divorced in Butte, Mont, and the
mother, no longer able to provide
for the children alone, brought
them to my house ip Grangeville,
Idaho, and told me to take them,
that she could do no more Z for
them. took them and have since
then done everything for those
children that father could do for
his own offspring, and here is my
reward-behind prison bars on a
charge of kidnapping.
"The mother and father have
gone together again and are re-
married. Now they charge that
because the children are not forth
coming l am trying to keep them

dren and do not know where they
are today. The only interest
have in the case is to see that JUS
tice is done the little ones. | am
confident that Judge Sullivan will
treat the case with fairness and
with justice and / am willing to
abide by his decision. But the mat.
ter has now become so complicated
through the numerous side phases
introduced by the attorneys for
my brother that l cannot tell what
the end will be-" ~ WI
]. M. Mcdonald says he has not
heard from his wife since going to
Jail and does not know where she
is. She left Spokane about two
weeks ago, ostensibly to start in
search of the missing McD0nald
children. T
Nothing has been heard from the
missing Mcdonald children Since
the Rev. Roots of Pullman testified
that he had letter from Madeline
Mcdonald at Bozeman, Mont.

NO PROGRESS
ON CITY LIGHT
ENGINEER TOO BUSY ON
BRIDGES, HE SAYS, TO
BOTHER WITH ESTIMATES
ORDERED SEVERAL MONTHS
AGO.

Although months ago the city
| council requested City Engineer
Ralston to secure data and infor-
nation relative to cost and FEAST
bility of municipal lighting plant,
the engineer as yet has given the
matter only casual consideration.
Owing to the press of work on
bridge construction, which COM
mands most of his time, Ralston
says he has found it impossible to
go into the municipal plant matter
to any great extent.
The first thing he will do, If he
does take up the project. will be
visit Seattle and obtain informa-
ton as to the municipal plant in
operation there. This and data
from other cities will be combined
in his report to the council, to-
gether with estimate of cost and
recommendations.
The foremost supporter OF the
project is Councilman Funk, who
has contended for it for months.
He finally secured the passage of
a resolution giving the engineer
instructions to work on it.
From the fact that the city an
nually pays the w. w. P. thousands
of dollars, it would seem that En-
gineer Ralston should get around
to the matter sooner than this. He
has had months in which to secure
data and estimates. Yet he now
says that he has done little in the
matter, not enough to hazard an
estimate of the cost.
The w. w. p, by reason of it's
monopoly, practically dictated
terms to the city when it entered
into the last contract. Every arc
lamp costs the city $4S a year, and
the contract is SO worded that it
amounts to almost a perpetual
agreement. The original lights are
to be kept up for five years and
additional ones for five years. New
ones are installed every month,
and the w. w. P. has the lighting
of each one for five years The
council in it's appropriations for
this year provided for $50 addi-
tional lights, 30 to the ward.

K|CkON COUNTY
PHYSICIAN
DEEP CREEK DAIRYMAN SAYS
DEAD HORSE Is ALLOWED
TO LAY IN STREAM WHERE
COWS GET DRINKING
WATER.

The local health department this
morning received another COM
plant about County Health Oficer
Morrison from dairymen of Espa-
nola, on Deep Creek O.. A. Stew
enson in letter to Milk Inspector
Rheinwald, says that dead horse
lies in the creek above where the
cows from five or six diaries get
drinking water. He says hes mott
fed the county health officer, who
did nothing.
About a month ago Inspector
Rheinwald visited the vicinity on
an inspection trip and was inform
ed that the dead horse lay in the
creek. 1t was out of his jurisdic-
ton to do anything, and he told
the dairymen to inform the county
health officer. He supposed the
matter had been looked after until
the receipt of Stevens letter to.
day.
Health Officer Grieve was in.
formed and in turn communicated
with DR.. Morrison, who said that
he would see that the animal was
removed. He said, also, that the
dead horse does not lay in the
creek, upon the bank. and inform
ed DR.. Grieve that there was a
jealousy among the dairymen of
Deep Creek. which was probably
responsible for the complaint. He
said that when he Investigated the
report at first he informed those
who complained that they must
also remove their pig pens from
near the river.

MAYOR ON
THE TRAIL

Mayor Moore and the board of
works will meet this afternoon fol-
lowing the regular board session,
to take preliminary steps in the
Investigation of the crematory de-
partment demanded by the city
council in resolution passed last
Tuesday night. The investigation
was taken out of the hands of the
special council committee, consist
ing of Chairman Dalke, Watkins
and Gray, and referred to the
mayor and board of works. The
special committees report was I'M
satisfactory. All would probably
have been passed over, but for the
fact that Merritt accused the
board of works of usurping his
rights to hire or discharge en-
ployes If the new investigation
is conducted vigorously, which the
mayor promises it will be, the true
state of affairs whose existence
work detrimentally to the depart
ment, will undoubtedly be laid
bare. The superintendent and his
assistant are working at cross pur-
poses, it is charged, and employees
have been disposing of bottles and
junk and not turning the money
In. Superintendent Merritt has
admitted that he was informed of
a suspected bottle graft, but says
his informant could not furnish
him with any specific instances.
Mayor Moore and the board will
probably go into the matter thor
oughly, and also revise the rates
for hauling garbage, which seem
exorbitant. Revision of the collec-
tion routes are badly needed also,
II is said. The question of exor-
bitant salaries paid will also be
gone thoroughly into.

WHEN SHOW OPENS

Secretary Jones of the $50 1000
club is receiving assurances that
the steam whistle feature of the
national apple show opening day,
December Z, will be properly OBJ
served. The Northern Pacific and
a number of manufacturing insti-

He said the verdict was ridicu-

bunal, as he will have served out
more than his minimum sentence
