HARTMAN COULD GO HALF ROUND
THE WORLD ON HIS OWN LINES

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 10
Gee, what vacation trip Edward
l. Hartman, the railroad magnate,
night take If he was so disposed.
And how quick thousands of his
hard working employees would
Jump at the chance if it happened
their way.
Harrimans railroads virtually
cobweb the United States: his
steamship lines touch the West In
dies and cross the Pacific ocean to
China and Japan, some of them
touching at Honolulu. He might go
from New York to New Orleans by
steamer, touching at Havana, then
by rail to San Francisco along the
Mexican border, and by steamer to
Hongkong.
He could return by another
steamer line to Portland and by
any one of three lines reach Og-
den on the way east, and come as
far as Kansas City without once
having taken his foot off the plat
form or deck of some carrier which
he controls, and without having
duplicated foot of his journey.
The remainder of the distance to
New York could pc completed over
lines in which he holds an interest
There is scarcely one of the big
ones in which he is not a stock
holder

CRUEL COUNCIL TURNS
RICH CLUB DOWN

The Country club with its mil
lionaire membership, really is an
institution suffering for water at
6 cents per 1000 gallons, according
to Alex Winston, who last night
appeared before the council as the
club representative in its ancient
effort to secure charity water rates.
Mr.. Winston compared the Country
club to the Y. M. c A. and Spo-
kane Amateur Athletic club. Coun-
Gilman Lambert made forceful
fight against the request, styling
the club as a millionaires' institu-
ton that is able to pay the full
water rate. The request was re-
fused by the following vote. For
Gray, Baldwin, Estep; against
Brown, Lambert, Laumer, Dalke,
Pratt and Phillips.

Women Are Expert
Photomicrographers

DR.. V. A. Latyam. of Chicago and
Miss Mary A. Booth, of Springfield,
Mass, are said to be the only ex-
pert women photomicrographers in
this country. Photomicrography, be
it understood, is the delicate art of
taking photographs through a mi
croscope.
DR.. Latham makes photographs
in connection with surgery and an
atomy, while Miss Booth devotes
her skill to natural history sub
jects. She can take an exquisite
picture of a butterhy's tongue, a
spiders foot or the head or wing
tip of a tiny insect.

TEAM OWNERS LOSE

The council last night endorsed
the action of City Engineer Raj
ston in putting contracting firm
in charge of hauling rock for the
Washington st. bridge by placing
on file a protest from the Central
Labor union against what was re-
garded as a departure from the day
labor plan. This action was taken
after Mr.. Ralston had submitted
his figures and reasons for adopt
ing the present plan. claiming that
he had affected saving to the city
of from $25 to $50 per day by SO
doing. J. E. McCracken spoke for
the union, arguing in favor of day
labor or for public bidding If the
contract system is to be adopted.

resort to rigorous measures to COM

live up to the ordinance. The pals
in which this lard comes weigh
about three quarters of pound,
and pail and lard weigh together
five pounds. The purchaser is sold

1t was suggested to the inspector
that he would be compelled to COM
municate with the eastern COM
panies. He replied that he had a
better method-they would have to
communicate with him, as he would
compel merchants tot quit selling
the articles from those houses.

H0LO BREWERS
RESPONSIBLE

Chief Rice has notified the brew
looms in Spokane. that dummy pro-
prietors who violate the Sunday
closing law must be displaced or
the bars will be closed permanent
ly. An effort was made yesterday
to lift the ban on the proprletors
of the Austria bar on Front. The
men are foreigners and pleaded
that the one who kept the place
open was so ignorant he either did
not know what Sunday meant or
that there was any saloon regula-
ton. The chief refused to consid-
err the excuse valid and the same
rule applies TO the Lark. a low de-
gree ginmill on Front and Wall.
The brewery companies put in
any kind of a saloon they figure
will catch the trade, and as there
is a number of laborers from south
ern Europe in the city now who
are totally unable to speak Eng
lish, they are particularly anxious
to maintain enough resorts of the
sort calculated to most readily get
their money. The foreigners have
been working in the lumber camps
and most of them have boarded
little which the brewers expect to
secure by running saloons in the
names of men of the same class
and language as the laborers. Be-
ing strangers in a strange land.
there is no place for them to spend
the time waiting for work to re-
sumo except in one of the dogger-
les prepared for them. The brew
ers are careful to see that they
have entertainment-so long as
they have money.

LITTLE MONEY
FOR HOSPITAL

The council last night reported
out for passage the ordinance pro-
viding $125 month for the main
tenance of the emergency hos
pital The ordinance will probably
be amended before final passage
so as to allow the emergency ply
sicians the right to the fees they
can collect from those able to pay.
The ordinance in it's present form
provides that all fees collected
must go to the city treasurer,
which would leave the income OF
the hospital only $125 a month,
much too low when 1t is consider
ed that two physicians and; one
nurse are required to do the work.

Park BOARD WINS

Owing to thte desires of the park

along Hangman creek bluff and
presents a beautiful view of the

WILL EXTEND
FIRE LIMITS

A general extension of the pres
ent fire limits is planned by the
board of fire commissioners. One
of the provisions of the fire limits
ordinance is that the erection of
no new wooden structures shall be
allowed. J. H. Boyd, president of
the National Iron works, appeared
before the commissioners this
morning and asked information as
to the proposed extension because
he believes the o. R. & n. intends
to rebuild the oil shacks which
burned down the other night. The
shacks were near the iron works
and the heat of the conflagration
broke foundry windows.

TAOlFIC n M EnlCAN VI lICAL
co ARE MAKING FINE RECORD
IN SPOKANE. :
Some weeks ago we opened, in
the Zeigler Block, what we be-
lieve are the best equipped offices
in the state for the scientific exam
nation of the eye and the correct
fitting of glasses when they are
needed.
The confidence shown by the
public in our ability to do as we
advertised and stated by word Of
mouth. has far exceeded our most
sanguine expectations, and today
We have attained a reputation for
work of the highest class, absolute
ly unexecelled by any optical firm
in the Inland Empire.
We have received patients of ev-
cry age and walk in life, and in ev-
cry case have endeavored to treat
them In manner to which the
most ethical practitioner could
offer not the slightest critism, and
which in the long run will insure
the success and permanency of this
business, for we are here to stay,
and our aim is, and always will be,
to establish a reputation for hon.
esty and professional efficiency,
second to none in the city.
The unusual success that has at
tended our efforts in Spokane is In
a large measure due to the fact
that we have not exaggerated in
any way our ability to cure refrac-
tive errors of the eye, and to help
discourage the practice of the
faker. with which every commune,
ity is cursed at one time or an
other We especially invite the
most difficult cases of abnormal re-
fraction or compound eye trouble
and will guarantee to give imme-
date relief If the case is not alto
gether hopeless.
We have in our Offices the most
modern instruments known to the
optical world for correctly testing
the eye, and backed by years of ex-
perience and the treating of thou
sands of cases of eye trouble, we
are able to accomplish results that
are impossible to the ordinary re-
fractionist Those who are trou-
bled with headaches, eye strain,
dizziness, double sight near or far,
sight, can place their case In our,
hands with the utmost confidence
that we will correct the ailment.
and at a cost perhaps but half the
regular charges of most opticians.
We make a specially of fitting
children with glasses, and have al
ways made this branch one OF the
most important units of our prac-
tice. The cause of many a childs
backwardness at school and in
ability to learn is entirely due to-
defective eyesight, and can easily,
be cured by us. We cordially In
vite you tot visit our Offices, where

PLAN MAIN ROADS FOR STATE.
Three transmountain roads from
the shores of Puget Sound and the
western boundary of the state, in
practically direct line eastward, and
one north and south road from Blaine
on the north along the eastern shore
Of the Sound to Vancouver on the
south, is the general scheme of road
development through the state out
lined by Joseph M. Snow, state high
way commissioner, and Samuel Hill,
president of the State Good Roads AS
ISOLATION. Both Mr.. Snow and Mr..
Hill are members of the state road
commission appointed by Governor
Mead to superintend the establishment
of convict uuarries for obtaining
crushed rock for highway construction.
Coincident with the construction OF
these roads, the commission proposes
to establish four convict quarries-
one at Deception Pass, on Fidalgo Is
land; one at Chehalis, another in the
vicinity of North Yakima, and the
fourth near Spokane.
The four roads together will reach
the great majority of the population
of the state, and upon the construction
of these four principal arteries the
good roads forces of the state propose
to concentrate their efforts. The quar-
ries will be located at points so situat-
ed that together they will be most
available for supplying the crushed
rock for the road construction in each
section.
"The roads will be built along the
lines of greatest needs and on the

will begin at Blaine, on the north, and
from there skirt the eastern shores
of the Sound, passing through Bel
bingham, Everett, Seattle and Tacoma
From Tacoma it will run southerly by
the most practical route to Vancou-
yer.
This north and south road will also
intersect the three principal trans
mountain roads at Seattle, Tacoma,
Chehalis and Vancouver, and thus the
most populous sections of the state
will be connected by main arteries
along which travel will be easy and
rapid
