HANDSOMRSPAT

TAKING CARE OF BOTH RAILS
TON AND o'BRIEN Is A. PROP
OSITlON THAT WILL KEEP
THE NEW MAYOR AWAKE
NIGHTS.

A monkey and parrot time is in
prospect for the new mayor, N. S.
Pratt. in the disposal of the polit-
ical plums that are to be passed
around by him. The different
brands of political "reformers" that
elected Mr.. Pratt have found that
while it was possible to agree on
the head of the ticket their views
are far apart as to who should be
in the new mayors executice
family. ,
The most powerful ally to be
placated BY Pratt is w. Fl. Cowles,
who is credited with desire to
have J. c. Ralston retained as city
engineer. On the other hand the
old city hall crowd wants Ralston's
head, and the Pratt administration
is liable to locate rocks at the very
outset if Ralston is retained. Lam
bert and other republican council
men yearn some for the Ralston
scalp.
Then again Pratt is up against
hot fight if he keeps his promise
to retain J. T. O'Brien on the board
of public works. Pratt says that
he has not made this promise, but
O'Brien gave it out before the cleo
ton that Pratt had come to him
and assured O'Brien that he would
not be disturbed if he would get
into the game and help pull the
ticekt through.
O'Brien did his part and there
will be seven different kinds of
trouble for Pratt if he tries to
throw down O'Brien.
On the other hand, there is a
strong following of the reformers
who seem to think THAI a mayor
elected on the exalted moral stand
said to have been TAKEN by Pratt
would be seriously handicapped
with a man of Mr.. OBrien's some
what practical ideas as a member
of his administrative family.
However, if Pratt ever missed
shindy through his own inclination
nobody ever caught him at it,,

ASKS N ARTHUR

Governor Hay has demanded the
resignation of j. w. Macarthur,
member of the state board OF
pharmacy. Macarthur was a mem
Der of the last legislature from Spo-
kane and until recently was pro-
prietor of the Broadway pharmacy.
+ The governor gives no reason for
his action in the request. Near.

SPOKANE LSFzANAELITES SET FORTH
ON GREAT PILGRIMAGE

In the dim distant past 1t was
predicted that the sons OF
Ishmael would always be a power
In the doings which took place on
this planet. That this prophecy is
to be fulfilled to the end of time
is apparent to every student of his
tory. In the oasis of Spokane the
Arabs known as Dokeys are par
ticularly bright example of the in
fiuence the defendant of Ishmael
exert on the children of men.
The Dokeys differ from the
ancient sons of the desert in that
they abstain from a diet of lizards
They are more choice and dis
eliminating in their selection of
edibles. They are also addicted to
creating amusement pleasing to the
most exacting. In the matter of
drinks they cling to the sacred
Fem Fem. In' fact, they are con-
sidered live ones in every respect
by the unregenerate, as the un-
initiated are known
The particular tribe inhabiting
the oasis of Spokane has another
pilgrimage in view. 1t has taken
many such pilgrimages, but not all
of them have been to Mecca and
Medina, or to the sacred wells
from which flows the pearlly Fem
ZEN. At present a pilgrimage is
contemplated to the Oasis of Van
couver, Plain of Washington,
where 100 tyros who have become
imbued with the idea that "all is
vanity in this world and that only
true enjoyment and forgetfulness
of the cares of life can be found
by needing wise advices of an
ancient Dokey who stated that
'if business interferes with pleas
ure, cut out the business" This
motto has become the cornerstone
of the Dokeys and is generally &C
cepted as a proverb only second to
that of Solomon, the wise Dokey.
The pilgrimage will start May IA
and will occupy several days. This
pilgrimage carries the fame of the
Spokane Dokey into the territory of
a tribe of Dokeys who pitch their
tents in the oasis of Portland. The
power and wisdom of the Spokane
Dokey is thus gradually extended.
and great is the rejoicing thereof.
No serious uprising is expected
from those who inAabit the shores
of the fertile and bounteOus
Willamette.
II. e. Oswald and Gus Meese are,
as usual, responsible for the inva-
sion of the territory of a heretofore
friendly tribe and for placing the
banners of FL Mabarraz Temple
and the Oasis of Spokane in plain
view of the inhabitants of the
Oasis of Portland and the Plain of
Oregon.
While Fem Fem flows to cheer
the fainting heart and cool the
parching lip may the banner of Ell
MabarraZ wave.

again next Saturday. Members Of
the union deny that politics figured
to any extent in the action, but it
is a fact that the union was strong
for ONO while Maloney was out
tooth and nail for Pratt. He was
lined up. he said, as a democrat,
but union members on the other
side of the fence allege he was un-
duly prominent against the unions

However it is, Thomas seems
considerably perturbed over the
latest developments and exhibits a
tendency to make fur fly when he
gets another chance.
