CANNON WILL SUBMIT
mo JOKER" ORDINANCE

The council will hear some more
about Northern Pacific grade separ-
alton this evening when the ordi-
nance asked by the railroad will
be taken up section by section.
Judge Turner will be on hand
again and this time will have more
individual support behind him than
on the last occasion. He will be
double-shotted for the fight against
the company's plan.
f. j. Cannon, n. p. cousel, will
also be there ana Cannon has a
proposition it will be hard to gel
around. In about II places in the
ordinance relating to the grade he
is inserting special provision that
all the tracks are to be elevated
and every paragraph so altered VIII
also contain the provision there
shall be no joker
This is to get around final objec-
ton entered that the company pro-
posed to elevate part of its tracks
and leave the others at level, which
would be a poor remedy for present
conditions.
In regard to clause insisted up
on by The Press that none but
white labor be employed on the
work in this city MIR. Cannon says
it has always been the policy OF the
company to employ white men on
such work when possible aud that
it would be imperative on the con-
crete and other skilled portions as
Asiatics are not competent. III

morning. They let him run around
town until he is discouraged and
afraid of his stuff being left on his
hands, then get it at practically
their own prices. This does not ap-
ply to farmers who have establish
ed a regular trade with certain
stores, but it does work hardship
on the man who has not this ad-
vantage. And there are various
other tricks of the trade in which
the man who raises the stuff gets
the worst of it in a manner that
would not be possible were a free
public market in operation in Spo-
kane.
Inquiry among the farmers
makes it certain that there Is
enough vegetables and fruit raised
within easy reach of Spokane to
make a public market great boon
both for the producer and consum-
err all the year around. And farm
ers generally are watching develop
ments closely in the hope that a
public trading pace will be ar
ranged to give them a chance to
deal direct with either consumer or
retailer on an equable basis.
The Seattle plan of driving into
the market and selling off Of their
wagons without charge for the priv
ilege is one that appeals forcibly
to them. Under that system there
would be every incentive to sell
only first class produce, as it would
be open to investigation by the
consumer

occurrence was most unfortunate

doubtedly irresponsible on the
question of Free Masonry.
Young Buck still makes the claim
that the Masons have bounded him
but does not state any specific in
stances. He attributes every mis-
fortune that has befallen him In q
business way to animosity of the
Masons. Prominent Masons Of the
city deny that any animosity exists
toward Buck and they cannot ex-
plain his attitudes, but attribute It
to a diseased mental state.
Deputy Prosecutor Pugh today
said that on the assumption that
Buck is mentally deranged he will
be watched in Jail and notes taken
of his actions. No complaint Will
be filed against him for few days.
If it is decided he is not right In
his mind then a commission will
be appointed to examine him.

ployed on the elevation
But the council might as well
make certain OF it If such a thing
is possible and there appears no
good reason why it should not be
inserted.
And there should be mo joker"
in that, either.
Most of the councilmen are still
in receptive mooi. They ask to
be shown and are being shown In
session and out. They'll all be glad
to get through with the thing to-
night If possible, but the prospects
are good for a long fight.
Councilman Estep probably vote
ed the sentiment OF the council
this morning when he said he
would agree to practical grade
separation plan, provided the city
is properly safeguarded. Corpora
ton Counsel Hamblen is depended
upto to look out for the city's legal
points.
Estep also was inclined to favor
the white labor proviso and the
council as whole is of the opinion
that the certainty of $4,000, 900
worth of work being done by white
men in this city. to begin almost
at once, would be about the best
sort of an investment that could be
made.
There is strong possibility that
Sen. Turner's opposition will ex-
tend to legal attack ON the ordi-
nance in the event that II Is passed
contrary to his desires. This
would mean an injunction fight.

Mrs. George H. Clark was held
to the superior court this morning
on a charge of attempting to shoot
her husband, under $1,000 bond.
George H. Clark, who has twice
failed to appear at the hearing OF
his wife, was also put under $1,000
bond as a guarantee that he will
appear at the trial.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark and Mrs.
Thrush testified that the shooting
was accidental. but three other wit
nesses said that two shots were
fred and as Mrs. Clark and asso-
ciates could only remember one,
the presumption was that the sec

Clark had evidently testified to
keep his wife from being bound
