Low pressure now covers the
country from the Pacific to as far
east as the Missouri valley. Storm
centers of considerable energy are
respectively over British Columbia
and northern Montana, and have
caused somewhat scattered pre-
cipitationp from the Pacific coast
to Minnesota and the middle of
Canada. High winds were report
ed in Washington. Normal to mod
erately high pressure, with fair
weather, prevails from the Missis-
Sippi river to the eastern slope of
the Alleghenies. Moderately low
pressure now along the Atlantic
coast has resulted in general pre-
cipitation in that district. A con-
siderable fall of temperature was
reported in Washington. A gen
eral fall of temperature has &C.
Cured eastwardly of the Missis.
sippi river that has been very con-
siderable along the Atlantic coast;
fall of "a degrees within the last
"a hours having been reported in
, eastern New York and New Eng
land. Conditions are unsettled this
morning, but give probability of
fair weather tonight and Thurs
day in this vicinity, with cooler
weather tonight. Charles Stewart

LOTS Of STREET
PAVING COMING

More street paving will probably
be laid in Spokane during the COM
ing year than in any preceding year
in its history. What the city has
lost in the way of progress in i'm
probably be made up in the future
by redoubled activity, until in the
course of two or three years Spo-
kane will rank among the best
paved cities in the country.
Notice of the paving of the ave-
nues leading from Monroe street to
Brownies addition has been filed by
Councilman Schiller, and this mat
ter would have been closed this fall
but for a disagreement of the prop
erty owners. The improvement will
be ordered in the spring.
Last night at the meeting of the
city council Councilman Lambert
introduced a resolution, which was
adopted, ordering that plans be pre-
pared for paving avenues south of
the district embraced in the Schil-
Ter undertaking, extending to Tenth
avenue, on Cannon hill. This i'm
roe street west to the Northern
Pacific right of way.
At the same time a resolution by
Councilman Gray was adopted for
paving parts of some of the leading
north and south streets in the Sec
ond ward, embraced in the resolu-
ton being portions of Stevens, Ber-
nard, Wall and Lincoln streets and
Eighth avenue from WASHINGTON TO
Hilliard street. Plans for the paw
ing of Washington street, Second
to Eighth avenue, and Howard
street, Fifth to Seventh avenues, in
this same district, have already
been prepared.
On the north side the property
owners between the o. r. & \.
tracks and Sinto avenue, Howard
and Division streets, are debating
some large paving improvements.
In the district east Of Division
street there is a movement on foot
to pave Mission avenue and other
streets in that region.

QUESTION FOR EDUCATORS
 THAT OF TRANSPORTATION
A Movement to Systematize the Edu-
 cation of Country Pupils.

One educational problem that will come up for solution in the near fu- ture and which has been pretty well thrashed out in the debates in the local schools and while has always met with strong voice of approval by the young people who are near the problem and who feel its im- portance, is that of providing more adequately for the country school children.
 In many of the eastern states, pu- pills under a certain grade in the schools are provided free transporta- tion to and from the schools which they attend, the expense of this transportation being borne equally by the taxpayers of the district in proportion to their property holdings, the same as any other tax. This system has proven so satisfactory wherever it has been tried that 1t is being rapidly extended, and it is only a question of time until the western states will have to meet the same conditions
 Salt River valley, and particularly the community around such an edu- cational center as Tempe, offers good opportunities for this system. Should Tempe be a pioneer in the experi- ment in this territory Is a question worthy of consideration.

A ROSEATE OPINION
 OF TEMPE COUNTRY
or a California Capitalist Affecting
 This Community.

S. w. Hamilton, who owns large tract of land south of Tempe, is in town for a few days, the guest of A. Neilsen. MT. Hamilton is well known here, but resides in California and comes here on an inspection tour about twice each year. When asked his opinion of this section of the country as compared with California, he said that as far as he could see Salt River valley has the better of it. AS a producer of fine oranges and grape fruit this valley is un- surpassed. As for investments the opportunities are great. Land is hard to buy here and owners are loath to sell, and this indicates an appreciation of the good things we have here. The desert land south of town is ideal for orange culture and must be watered and will be wa tered soon." Such expressions from men of MT. Hamilton's knowledge and acquaintance indicates his value of this community.

ArS- Emma Dent casey, WrltlnS Tn the February Circle magazine of her memories of General Grant. refutes some popular legents, which have been current -~---
 There is the famous story of Cap tain Grant living in such poverty that he had to haul his poor little faggots of wood through the city with an OK team and blow on his unglOved fingers to keep them from freezing.
 The truth is that he and his negroes cut the wood and he often sent one of them to the city with a load to sell to the families of a MT. Blow and Mir. Bernard. Mir. Bernard was the brother of my brother Johns wife. During the Christmas holidays one winter the negro who generally drove the team for Captain Grant was i'll and there was no one to send in his place.
 The captains St. Louis friends sent him word that they were out of wood and, accordingly. he hitched up his team of horses to his big wagon, loaded on the wood, and hauled it to the city himself He probably hauled several loads in this way. I do not know how many. Any other man with same temper and same spirit and the same lack of false pride would have done the same.
 On one of these trips, as the captain was driving along seated on his load of wood he suddenly came face to face with General Henry and his staff. The general, resplendent in a new uniform and gold trimmings, eyed the figure of the farmer on the wagon with aston ishment. Then he drew in his horse Grant stopped his team, and the pair smiled into each others eyes.
 "Why, Grant, what in blazes are you doing?" exclaimed Harney.
 The captain, sitting comfortably atop his load of wood with his aX and whipstop at his side, shifted one mud dy boot across the other and drawled:
 Well, General, I am hauling wood. ..
 The thing was so obvious and Grant so naive that General Harney and his staff roared with laughter. They shook his hand and joked with him and if nally carried him off to dine with them at the Planters hotel. That is the true story of Captain Rundown at-the- heels Grant peddling wood for pit tance in the streets.

UNFOLDING BARGAINS
 OF THE BIG CUR|O
Another Inducement For the Rapid
 Movement of Goods.

Here is something else that will be of interest to a large number of peo- pie who have read of the cut prices prevailing at the Bake Big Curio store. Nothing has been said about it lately. but it is a fact that the Big Curfo handles the largest stock of art supplies in the southwest. Ev- erything in that line Is going at the reduced prices. This is something that artists will understand; three tubes of the best artists's oil paints for twenty-five cents. All other sup plies are being sold at the same gen. erous ratio.
 Though the cut prices have made a great run on the Indian moccasins there are still a good many left, but they will never be offered at these figures again after the close of this sale. Here is an opportunity that should not be overlooked.
 Those Yaqui Indian baskets made of cactus fiber have almost become a fad. There were not many of them in the first place as, for a long time, it had been impossible to get them and what remain will not last long at lHe prices.
 The stock of ostrich feather fans which are being sold at ridiculously low figures considering their great beauty will soon have disappeared,
 A very pronounced cut has been made in those handsome beaded handbags. They originally sold for s15. They are now going at half price.
 In addition to the great reduction of prices, amounting in all lines from one-half to one-third, MT. Bake has hit upon a further inducement for the movement of goods which must be out of the store by the time he gets ready to start on his European trip. With each purchase the pur- chasers will get a ticket showing the amount of it. When tickets of this kind amounting to $20 are presented the holder will be given one dollars worth of goods at the cut prices Save the tickets, or give them tc others, who will save them until they aggregate s20 worth.

D|sREGARDED WARNING WAS FATAL 10 sk|LLER
He Walked Into a Prospect Hole at Mammoth.

Justice George s. Irwin, who re- turned from Goldfield late Sunday aft ernoon, where he was summoned for the purpose of holding an inquest over the body of Robert Skiller. who fell down a prospect hole there on Satur- day evening, says that Skiller, accom- panied by another man, arrived at Government Wells that evening and made application for lodging that night. They were told that it. was impossible to accommodate them, as there was no room, and the strangers were instructed to continue on to the bunk house at the Mammoth mine, where it was believed they could se- cure accommodations. They were also cautioned to keep on the car track s en route to the bunk house, as that district was covered with prospect holes of varying depths.
 The men started out as they were directed and proceeded along the tracks until they saw a light shining from one of the windows in the lodgi- ng house and Skiller, thinking he could shorten the distance by going across left his companion and walked in the direction of the light. He was warned as he did so to be careful about the holes. but hardly had the words left the mans lips when he saw by the reflection of the light that Skiller had disappeared. The man hurried to the bunk house and informed the inmates there of what had happened.
 The funeral of Skiller occurred at Goldfield on Sunday morning. and the remains were buried beside two other unfortunates who had lost their lives in a similar manner Little is known of Skiller

The musical which will be given on Thursday evening at the Mesa opera house by the members of the Arizona School of Music, promises to be a most pleasing affair in every way. Prof. J. Homer Grunn. one of the. teachers of the school, who will be here on that occasion, is well and favorably known to the music lovers of the gem city. as he has delighted large audiences on former occasions. Mir. Grunn has been the recipient of many favorable press notices, among them being the following extract from the Chicago Chronicle
 "A recital by J. Homer Grunn was the feature of last Saturday afternoon at the Chicago Musical College. An unusually large audience was present and heard much that gave evidence of exceptional talent Mir. Grunn plays with excellent taste, has good tech nique, and uncommon musical ability. The program was throughout well in terpreted. and two original studies were especially commendable.'

Car penter arrived here on Friday morn ing. accompanied by his wife and little child, believing that the mild climate here would prove beneficial to him, but the disease from which he was a suf- ferer had advanced too far, and the trip here greatly weakened him so that he grew rapidly worse until the end came. He was thirty-two years of age, and is survived by wife and child.
