That the union depot proposition
has been at last consummated by
the large railroad interests there
is no doubt in light of frequent
meetings between officials repre-
senting lines running into this
city.
Those close to railroad interests
claim that within a few days the
union depot announcement will be
made. The site selected Is said
to be the one on which the N. P.
roundhouse now stands. The ter
ritory embraces large area and
Is the most likely location for a
depot from an engineering stand
point.
The lines which are said to have
entered into the agreement are
the Northern Pacific, Great North
ern, Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul and o. R. & N. The Spokane
International and North Coast are
said not to be in the deal
A union depot company is to be
formed and more than $500, 900 is
to be spent in depot, track and

HUSBAND
ABSC0NOED

In the complaint of Ethel L.
Clark in a divorce action brought
against Dudley F. Clarke, she
charges the defendant with alb
sconding with $500 and the books
of account of the Spokane Tea &
Coffee Co., located at 903 Riverside
avenue.
She prays for an absolute divorce
and temporary restraining order
enjOining her husband from inter
fering with the management of the
business or in any manner encum-
bering or concealing the property
claimed by her.
1t is set forth il the complaint
that plaintiff established the bust
ness on a loan of $4,000, made on
her own responsibility and she
placed her husband as manager of
the firm. On October 8, it is stated,
he declared himself as half owner
of the business to which she must
consent or he would take what he
could and leave, which he did
Mrs. Clark asks that she be de-
clared the sole owner of a tract of
land in Stevens county, purchased
by her husband out of the funds of
the business and that she be de.
clared sole owner of the tea and
coffee business.
The grounds for the divorce are
failure to provide and desertion.

PLEASE HELP A All
POOR OLD PARTY

ment were forcibly expressed by
Health officer Grieve and DR.. Will
liam l.. Hall. DR.. Grieve said he
believed the force is not properly
paid. The crematory department
is now paying salaries of two in
spectors who belong to the health
department and should be paid by
it. He said he does not look for
general epidemics next year to be
as great as this years, but he
does look for a greater number
of smallpox cases, not originating
in Spokane, but coming in from
outside points to be cared for by
this city for its own protection. He
quoted the fact that Minnesota has
taken off the quarantine and there
were 1900 cases there this year.
Colville had $50 cases this past
year and no quarantine. This
last is true of other sections.
Despite such conditions as pre-
dicted by the health officer, coun-
cilmen by persistent inquiry indi-
Gated a disposition to still slash
the department estimates.
President w. w. Witherspoon of
the street department refused to
cut down his original estimate of
s131,00 except about $1,000 slash
ed from the sprinkling expense
that will amount to more than S21,-
900. Councilman Funk objected to
reductions in this expense, claim
ing that it would work hardship
on the outer districts. Mr.. Wither-
spoon, however, assured the coun-
Gil that outer areas would be well
looked after.
The only reduction admitted to
be possible in the treasurer's de-
partment is by cutting out the
card system. BY doing this two
less men will be needed on the
force. Treasurer Eggleston, how
ever, declared it would be false
economy, as the card system keeps
bills paid up better than if the de-
partment were to wait for people
to come in of their own vOlition.
His lowest estimate is S20,940.
The committee will meet again
Friday night to further consider
estimates.
