DAY LABOR THE
ONLY PLAN

Contractors who desired to bid
on the Mission av. concrete bridge
have been hindered on account OF
the inability of the city engineer
to prepare the plans in time for
contractors to see and study them.
For this reason no bids have yet
been filed with the board of works.
John T. Huetter, who is backing
William r. Roy's Indianapolis, Ind,
plans, will submit the plans to the
council tonight and ask that he be
awarded the contract. He claims
that he will build the bridge for
$4,000 against the Ralston esti-
mate of $4,000.
There is doubt, however, of the
city's right to accept Huetter's bid,
as there has been no competition
on his plans. The charter provides
that all bids must be competitive.
At the time the council ordered
the Mission av. job advertised to
bidders it was known that Engi.
neer Ralston could not turn out
plans and specifications in time.
The general impression is that the
majority of the council desires the
work by day labor.

HAVE TO LIVE
ON COLD LUNCH

Here is another circumstance Of
water scarcity. There are some fine
modern houses up on Monroe hill.
The sole means of cooking are
ranges or large stoves, connected
with hot water appliances.
The people are afraid to build
fires for fear that the empty tanks
will burst. 1t is considerable of a
job to disconnect che pipes and
not everyone wants to go to the
expense of hiring plumber at a
dollar a minute, almost.
So they get along the best they
can on cold lunches, hoping that in
the near future the water scarcity
may be amended
The time when the water is
scarce is during sprinkling hours
which are right at the time when
breakfast and supper are due. So
when the water Is to be had, the
people cook up enough to last the
whole day.

REFERENDUM

William Matthews, Spokane, run

district. In announcing his plat
form Mr. Matthews says:
81 stand squarely upon the state

81 have pledged my support to
the candidate for the u s. senate
receiving the strongest endorse
ment at my party primaries.
81 am for the initiative and refer
endum and all that is included in
the term direct legislation. be-
lieve the people must learn to think
more on polictical and economic
questions and depend less upon
their representatives to perform
this important function.
"While the people may and will
make mistakes, experience is dem
onstrating that they are less liable
to pass on Objectionable laws than
are our legislatures.
while do not believe in great
err restriction as remedy for the
evils and abuses of the liquor traf-
fic | am willing to submit the prop
ositon of prohibition to the people
for their acceptance or rejection.
81 believe in an equitable system
of taxation than will fall in pro-
portion to the material benefits be-
slowed by the state. Any reform
in taxation must proceed in the d.
rection of relieving the settler,
home builder and general indus
try; and correspondinkly increase
the burden upon monopolies and
special privileges. I therefore ia
vor the constitutional tax amend
ment, for only by ratifying this
amendment at the fall election will
it be possible to make any change
in our present system.
81 believe in several particulars
our primary law is meeting with
popular disfavor and that it should
be amended accordingly.
Should the people desire me to
represent them in Olympia l will
do everything in my power to
further the interests of the Inland
Empire and of Spokane and the
Sixth legislative district in parti-
cular."

RATS REvEL ON
b|LlbOAROS
THE CITY BEAUTIFUL" MAIN
TAlNS BREEDING PLACES
/, FOR RODENTS IN EVERY
!, NOOK AND CORNER.

Here is something that ought to
give the Spokane board of health
something to think about in con-
nection with its anxiety over the
rat question.
The matter is also called to the
attention of the chamber of COM
merce and 10000 club, which or
CARNATIONS continually boast the
most beautiful city in the country
and have little left to offer as land-
scape other than endless vistas of
billboards.
Billboards mean paste, piles OF
-four paste rotting beneath the bal
boards Paste is about the finest
thing for rats you ever saw, and
colonies of rats infest neighbor-
hoods near big b,llboards, live off
the paste piles that are each week
renewed by the bill sticker, and not
only make life miserable for all
housewives in the district, but
scatter to the four winds all the
contagion their vermin-f1lled hide
may contain.
Most other public feeding places
for rats are watched by the health
officers or by private parties, the
barns and livery stables have their
cats and their dogs and their
traps and their poison, and the lacl
of alleys and the constant cleaning
of the streets gives the rodent
army slight chance for life of fat
ness and ease.
But no one watches the bill
boards and no one can corner
orde of rats in an open lot and
-xterminate them. Most other
Titles require metal signs that are
ainted, instead of boards that are
coated with layer on layer of rot
ting paper and paste.
Such is not the case in Spokane,
however. The council will occa-
sionally pay something for killing
rats, but the economy of abolishing
their breeding places is naturally
not a matter for consideration.

POLICE DIDN'T KNOW
MAN WAS DYING

Replying to charges by S. w.
Lufkin of the Workingmen's Home,
who said that tn, police were re-
sponsible for the death of Nils
Hanson by not responding to call
for aid, Sergeant Herndon this
morning stated that he was at the
telephone when Lufkin sent for the
patrol wagon He says that Luf-
kin did not explain that man had
fallen in fit, but merely said that
a man was sick there and they
wanted the patrol wagon to take
him to the emergency hospital. The
sergeant referred Lufkin to the
county physician.
Chief Rice said: The emergency
hospital is all the name implies.
Had we been notified that a man
was having a fit, we would have
sent the wagon and brought him to
the hospital. We do not answer
sick calls with the patrol wagon
unless the county physician orders
us to take sick person to some
hospital"
Hanson fell in a At in the lobby
of the hotel and expired in a few
minutes without regaining con-
seriousness. He appeared at the
home last Friday and complained
that he was feeling sick. Nothing
is known of his relations.

LOSE ON
HOSPITAL

The emergency hospital depart
ment intends to ask an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for next year. This
will include S125 month salary
for Dr. Burchard Roark, SIS a
month for nurse, and supplies.
II will almost guarantee the city
a revenue of 500 month"; said
Dr. Roark. Patients brought to
the hospital who are able to pay
for attendance are charged a nom
inal fee for the hospital services
Many patients, however, are unable
to pay anything, but they need
medical help as much as the more
fortunate"

Special Correspondence to The Press


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.-One
poor man graphing fearlessly with
giant, heartless corporation, with
every indication pointing to victory
for the poor man-there's a fight
worth watching!
And all San Francisco is watch
ing and applauding John Davidson,
poor man.
Davidson, before the great street
car strike in this city two years
ago, was motorman for the
United Railroads Co, that corpora
ton which has for IT'S president
Patrick Calhoun, the man whe IS
under indictment here for stealing
valuable franchises by bribery. Da-
wilson struck when the signal was
given for all union men to leave
their ears. After the strike he was
refused unemployment, and in cast
ing about for means of livelihood
for himself and his wife, he chose
to invest his few dollars in a little
lunch counter.
The Cozy Lunch opened for
business near one Of the big car
barns of the railroad company.
Mrs. Davidson made good coffee.
The conductors and motormen
were not long in finding it out.
They rapidly formed the habit of
dropping off at the end OF the run
for a sandwich. some real home
made pork and beans and cup of
coffee.
The future was bright for the
Davidsens when suddenly, to a
man almost, the carmen stopped
patronizing the "Cozy" Quietly
they passed the word to Davidson
that they had been threatened with
dismissal If they continued to pa
tronize the union mans lunch
counter,
Davidson's jaw hardened. May
be Pat Calhoun, with his United
Railroads Co., can drive me out oi
business, and then again, maybe
he can't" he said. We'll see.'
The fight of the poor man agains
the corporation was on. Davidson
first move was to nail up big sigr
over his lunch counter calling at
tention 10 the fact that the cor
poration was trying to drive hin
out of business. Then he waited

av. water main had been laid of.
O'Brien this morning
stated that the report was untrue
and that the men were still at work
and would be kept at work by the
board unless otherwise ordered by
the council.
Mr.. O'Brien further stated that
If the council tonight does not let
the Mission av. concrete bridge by
contract the board will continue
putting in the temporary structure
and then 60 right alone with the
work by day labor under Engineer
Ralston's plans, which estimate the
cost at $4,000.

Daily News saw the sign. He
found out what was behind it..
Without Davidson's knowledge the
paper ran that evening an account
of the fight that was on, free ad-
vertisement for the Cozy Lunch
and an appeal to all who loved fair
play to buy cup Of coffee from
the Davidsens.
The effect was instantaneous
From the remotest sections Of the
city crowd began to line up in
front Of the little place beside the
car barns. In that crowd were
many business men and smartly
dressed women. The Davtdsons
had more than lneir hands full.
But the line was patient. Far into
the night Mrs. Davidson worked
beside her husband. Davidson had
scored.
He has kept right on scoring,
tee His trade is bigger than 1t
ever was. Now he rs building an
addition and will transform hts
lunch counter into a little restau-
rant.
