Next Tuesday, April 28th,
the gas ordinance will come up
for a vote. Well have you
looked over this matter care
fully. and if so, do you think it
would be of value to Mis-
Isouri Valley and to the citizens
generally? The trouble with
this town has been this same
near-sightedness on the part of
the citizens, for when a chance
did present itself to get some
business enterprise located,
there was always enough op-
position to kill the matter. If
we ever have a good town it
will be because the merchants
and citizens pull together and
not make a fight on anything
and everything, that comes be-
fore them.

days in the asylum to get his

ing to break into the lecture

MAY PURCHASE
M|NNE:HAHA
PARK

To turn Minnehaha park into q
beautiful public park is a propo-
sition which will be presented to
the park commission in a few days
by members Of the improvement
club of the northeast addition to
Ross park. At present Minnehaha
park is owned by Mr.. Heber.
A committee comprising A. E.
Powell, the club president; c. W..
Swanson, J. ii. Harper and F. X.
Stevenson, recently discussed pur-
chasing the park with Mr.. Heber.
He told them that he would agree
to sell reasonably. In order to fix
a reasonable value upon the prop
erty he would agree to submit to
an appraisement which would be
made by committee comprising
one person he would name. one the
city council and one the park
board would name.
At present Corbin park is the
only public recreation place ON the
northside. Minnehaha would fur
nish about the same sort of land
scape as Mantle. 1t is covered with
native pine and splendid rock for
nations. At present 1t is enclosed
with two foot stone wall and
occupied by buildings which in
timac naCt hava baap used Co., N
saloon and dancing pavilion. The
place was notorious up to a year
ago.
That section is settling up rapid
ly, and 1t will be only few years
until the settlement is so thick
that residents will have no room
for recreation. This is one of the
arguments in favor of purchasing
the site, which will be submitted
to the commission.

And Crangeville Folks VIII
Have the Time of
Their Lives.

On December 10 Spokane will be
hostess to an interesting excur-
sion from Grangeville, Idaho.
The Grangeville and Elk City
district is one of the richest In
the entire northwest but there has
never been a railroad there till
now. There are families there
who have lived In that country
since 1862 and settlers Of 20, 80
and 40 years residence are COM
mon. There are many residents
there who have not seen railroad
for 20 years.
But the railroad has come to
them at last and they have de-
cided that the first place they want
to visit in a body is Spokane. The
chamber of commerce passed a
resolution today sending them a
special invitation to come and be
the guests of that body. They will
be shown the best possible time
while here. The program will in.
clude in automobile ride around
the city, a banquet by the cham.
Der of commerce and likely an
evening at the theater.

Will be Represented Before
Council Against
New Law.
The fight of federal union No.

The fight Of federal union No.
1924 to maintain the city wage
scale of $2.75 per day was en-
dorsed last night by the Central
Labor union, and the legislative
committee directed to take the
matter up with the city council,
which is expected to consider the
new contract ordinance at tonight's
session,
The resolution adopted by the
central body sets forth the slogan
of the American Federation of
Labor. Resist wage reduction"
and argues that the cut proposed
in the common labor wage scale is
forerunner OF reductions in other
lines of work. The central union
is on record as emphatically OPP
posed to any measure looking to
any degree of wage reduction in
common labor.
The new ordinance is now re-
garded as device OF the big con-
tractors to put an end to the oper-
atoms of the federal union In Its
cooperative plan Of doing public
work. Especial restrictions are
made against sub-letting city work
and against any method of rebates
or assessments levied on the wages
of the men employed.
This is aimed at the federal
unions system whereby small
per cent of each mans earnings go
into a working fund of the union
in order to take care Of the small
financing necessary to direct the
organization.
When the work In hand is COM
pleted, the amount received Is d.
vided among the men in the form
of a bonus. This so far has in
nearly every case resulted in the
distribution of individual amounts
exceeding what the men would
have received had they adhered to
the city scale alone.
If the ordinance is passed In it's
present form, assurance has been
given Thomas Maloney of the fed.
eral union that Mayor Moore will
veto 1t as contrary TO the city
charter in prohibiting sub-letting,
The labor interests of the city are
now lined up against any move
that is likely to effect the present
established scale of $2.75 per day,
Maloney says the big contractors
are trying to knock out federal
union competition under the guise
OF maintaining the city wage scale.
When they really desire. he

doctors statement this morning
says Heney passed restful night
and is much better.
1t will probably be three weeks
before he is well, and Ave weeks

. When the Ruef trial was resum-
ed this morning, the same warlike
and military aspect marked the
proceedings.

tectives and five mounted police.
The crowd in the street was kept
moving. Everybody entering the
court room was searched.
Attorney Dozier, for Ruef, open
ed the proceedings by filing sup
Elementary affidavit supporting
yesterdays motion for a change of
venue.
After a wrangle Dozier was al
lowed to read the affidavit, which
covered the ground since the close
of court yesterday.
Scores of replies to the call is
sued yesterday by the Citizens
League of Justice to rally to the
support of law and order were re-
ceived today.
Thea affidavit is about the same
as those presented yesterday.
1t is pointed out that Ruef is in
such danger that he had to be
driven to court under protection of
the officers.
Financial, moral and physical
support is pledged. The call asks
the citizens to aid in the estab-
lishment of a clean and honest
press. 1t, says:

city will Offset thousand for it's
