gLike all reformers. Ward found
he had a job on his hands. The
city council was not reformed; nor
were the prominent citizens who
enjoyed the perpetual street rail
way franchise and other valuable
public utilities. Some of the police
and some OF the lower courts were
rotten, and 1t was difficult to make
the law stick"
But Ward set his teeth and made
the fight. Bosses tried to bully
him and leading citizens to per

sued by the civil service commits
sion to the army of government
employees in Washington and else
where against sidestepping their
work for Uncle Sam in order to
indulge in the seductive game of
politics.
1t seems that in past campaigns
it has been the practice of good
many government officials and
clerks to resign so that they may
run for Office in their home COM
munities, or otherwise become ac-
lively engaged in political work,
then to be reinstated after cleo

to them.
But this year there will be no
reinstatements, says the commits

attitude toward employees in the
classified service who resign to be-
come candidates for Office or to

To SHELTER
CITY MARKET

The question of making perma-
nent arrangements for housing the
city market during inclement
weather was brought to the atten-
ton of the board of works this
afternoon by Mayor Moore. He said
the question of leasing the ground
belonging to DR.. Browder abbutting
on the present market site will be
brought before the city council at
it's next meeting, as the doctor has
agreed to lease his holdings for
a permanent market site at ground
rent.
DR.. Browder owns three lots on
Second avenue, corner of Stevens,
the dimensions of which are $50
by 142 feet. The mayor thinks this
will be big enough for the initial
steps toward a permanent market,
and told the board of works that it
might be well to get line on a
suitable market building.

MAY GOBBLE WEBFEET

Judge McCredie of Portland, who
is trying for an eight club league
of the present Coast league and
Seattle, Tacoma and another Cali.
fornia town, is meeting with little
success.
President w. H. Lucas of the
Northwestern league, to which the
northern cities belong. says the
judge is lemon. Lucas does not
forget a few years ago when the
outlaw Coast people swiped Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma from his
territory, thereby forcing the
Northwest magnates to loose a
heap of money with opposition
teams in Los Angeles and San
Francisco. Seattle and Tacoma
have been won back to the fold,
and If Lucas has anything to do
with it, the filibusters won't be al
lowed to get them again.
There is suspicion that Nc
Creole himself may be gobbled up
by the Northwest league. His
scheme of an eight club league on
the coast is opposed by Hen Berry,

the Atlantic states and the middle
west through the Mississippi, Ohio

Mississippi system, we have con-
nected up at least 5000 miles of
navigation. and with the Missis-
sippi and Atlantic systems, we have
linked together more than 10000
miles of inland waterways, many
times more capacious than the
same mileage of railways, and cap
able of carrying traffic faster and
at one-quarter of the expense. We
have freed millions of people from
transportation servitude. We have
opened the way to thousands of
men to earn money In an independ-
ent vocation, and we have made it
possible for millions of capital to
be safely invested in a business
incapable of monoplization.
That is, we have II we will pro-
tect the waterways against the rail

we do this, we may as well dismiss
the idea of waterways like these;

The decline in Rambler Cariboo

was due to discouraging reports
from the property. The company
is in debt about $4,000 and the
management expected to be able
to pay this off or a portion of it
long before this. Returns from
shipments to date have about paid
for development, but conditions
have been such that the manage

that they could do better than this.
