NORTHSlDE MARKET ASSURED
Plans Under Consideration for Building
Sheltered Booths.

Mission, Sinto, Normandie and A.
lantic, for public market.
The special committee made NO
recommendation as to market Inn
provements, but left that matter
entirely with the city council. On
being asked as to how he pro-
posed to shelter the market Coun-
Gilman Ostrander chairman of the
committee, told the council of the
proposition made to him by the
farmers to build their own market
booths. There was no action along
this line by the city council, a.
the council seemed willing to leave
the matter OF a market building
to the board of public works.
Later in the meeting an or
dinance establishing a market ON
the city ground was read the first
and second times and permitted to
go over for two weeks, as required
by the charter. The question OF
making provision for a market
building, which is not mentioned
in the ordinance, can be added In
the form OF an amendment at the
next meeting of the council. The
introduction of the ordinance at
last nights meeting will further
the work of making provision for
the market by at least two weeks.
The city site is particularly con-
venient by reason of the fact that
two carlines reach it. Councilman
Ostrander spoke highly Of the pro-
ject and said that the southside
market was a success with the ex-
ception of a lack of shelter. On
the city yard site there is area
enough for a great market and
shelter and stable room for tho
farmers.
The need of sheltered market
was strikingly demonstrated this
morning when but three farmers
appeared on account of the rain.

The Press last evening present
ed bid to the city council to print
the legal and other advertising OF
the city for a period of one year
or until another contract shall be
made.
In so doing The Press was ac-
tuated not only by desire to
carry the business for the
pecuniary remuneration involved
but also by desire to break the
city printing monopoly that has ex-
listed for years and force city print
ing expense down to the lowest fig
ure consistent with good service.
The city printing amounts TO be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 inches per
year. The Press bid % cents per
inch, while its nearest competitive
bid, the Chronicle, amounts to
about 45 cents per inch or nearly
twice the price at which The
Press offers 10 do the printing.
IL viii thus be seen that II The
Press is awarded the contract fof

save directly 90 cents on each iach

err to pay for the labor at $2.75
per day.
The contractor collects It and
pockets the difference between the
legal rate and for what he is able
to secure labor at now when labor
is feeling the pinch of necessity.
These facts are known, but the
law requires testimony of the men
employed at the illegal rate and
they are in no position to testify
because they want the work. A
man who would testify against one
contractor would find 1t difficult to
secure employment from any other.
Feeling that conviction of con-
tractors under the ordinance is i'm
possible, Thomas Maloney of the
Federal union and others in trested
in the cause of the laborers have
concluded to ask the city council
to pass new ordinance making
it possible to enforce the wage
scale.
The plan is to have the ordi-
nance give the corporation coun-
sells office, charged with its en-
forcement, the right to examine all
books, accounts, checks and papers
of contractor relating to any i'm

The object of the law was to fur

and to make it worth their while.
This ordinance fixes the wage
scale on city work at $2.75 for an

contract work and prescribes a
penalty for violation by contract
Ors.
The law is being generally and
safely violated and here is where
the graft comes in:
The city engineers estimates are
necessarily based on the legal wage
rate and the same is true of the
contractors bids. The property
owner is assessed at the rate of
$275 per day for labor cost.
At present and for months past
contractors have been able to hire
men for $2.25 per day and possibly
less.

Councilmen Ostrander and Dalke
and Marketmaster Happe this
morning discussed briefly the mat
ter of making provision for a city
market building on the northside
site adopted last night by the city
council. Mr.. Dalke favored build
ing erected and owned by the city.
This plan Is also approved by
Councilman Phillips and others Of
the council, and an effort will be
made to have the council order a
building built at city expense. It
is figured that the market would
pay for frame building of this
kind in less than a years time.
Matchmaker Happe conferred
with the board Of public works in
an informal way this morning rela-
tive to market building. A
rough draft of q building that it
is thought would suffice for pres
ent needs was made. Such build
ing would be 100 feet long by IS
wide and would contain 20 regular
market stalls, 10x12 feet, with &C
commodations for that many more
teams backing into the building
from the outside. A wide drive
way for teams is shown in the
center, from which the farmers
could back into their respective
booths. Two passageways for the
people, one on either side, is pro-
vided. A frame building affording
these accommodations, it is fig
ured, could be erected without ex-
cessive cost.
The northsiders won their fight
for a public market In the council
last night and it turned out that
it wasn't much OF a fight after all.
Not a voice was heard in opposi-
ton. The special market commit.

ODD FELLOWS MAKE FORTUNE
IN INVESTMENT ORIGINALLY
INTENDED FOR SITE OF NEW
TEMPLE.

Negotiations are in progress
looking to the lease of the north
east corner of Main avenue and
Wall street, bought five years ago
by the Spokane Odd Fellows Tenn
pie association for $4,000.
The lease is for a long term Of
years on basis of valuation Of
1925, 900, the amount offered In
cash for the ground and rejected
about month ago. The temple
association, composed of the l. o.
o. F. lodges of the city, bought the
ground in the beginning with a
view of erecting thereon an Odd
Fellows temple. 1t has become so
valuable that the temple associa-
ton concluded not to build on that
site but instead bought the lot just
east of the Madison hotel on First
avenue, on which three story

question Is small plot at the
south end of the bridge.
Further developments in the lat
est phase of the Monroe street
bridge situation now await the re-
turn of J. p. Graves, head of the
Inland system, who is expected
home Saturday from New York.
Vice President White has nothing
further to say than is contained in
the notice of easement claims filed
yesterday.
Mr.. White says the company de-
sires plans worked out that will
take care of all interests involved.
The company's use of the ground
under the bridge is for railroad
purposes not yet divulged.
Meanwhile the Cowles concrete
scheme for Monroe street at the
city's expense is undergoing an
acute attack of collie.

ALL PARTIES
MUST PAY
FEE
Supreme Court Ruling
Hits Minority
Nominees.

According to the opinion OF
County Auditor Greene, based upon
the incomplete report of the de-
cision of the state supreme court,
received this morning, every candi-
date of the minority parties nomi-
mated in convention and submitted
to the auditor for fling last week
will have to pay the full filing fee.
This fee is $40 on an annual salary
of $1,000 or less, and one per cent
of the annual compensation above
that amount.
The supreme court decision OF
this state on this point stands out
from the rulings of state supreme
courts in that it is the first ruling
that demands fee from the minor
ity parties.
The effect of this decision will
be felt by the country justices
nominated in the primaries by
stickers placed upon the ballot
They will also now be required to
accompany their names with the
regular fee. In fact, every candi-
date upon the ticket must pay a
filing fee as provided by the pri'
mary law, which was validated by
the supreme court.
Technically the candidates of the
prohibition and socialist parties
have not yet filed their names with
the auditor. The names We're Of
fered for filing within the limit OF
20 days before the election as
specified by the law, and Mr.
Greene accepted them without fee
upon the strength of the opinion
of the prosecuting attorneys office
that the fee was Illegal, and now
the time within which a name can
legally be filed has elapsed. 1t Is
understood, however, that the
names will be properly filed by the
auditor as soon as the fee is forth
coming.

had the japanese practically whipped
there. He repulsed several heavy at

doing so. 1t may be that among his
subordinates on that hard-fought field
there was a Stonewall Jackson or a
Phil Sheridan competent to lead the
army TO victory when war comes again.
