CUT DOWN TIME
ON CONTRACTS

City contractors will have to get
a hustle on themselves or there
will be good money lost which was
counted on when the bids were
made. The board modified it's rule
regarding the extension Of time on
contracts yesterday and decided
that they would grant no further
extensions and would enforce the
$40 day fine in all cases.
When the final estimates are
made they will be put up to the
contractor and the latter will have
a chance to demand a rebate, and
the different cases will be decided
upon it's merits. The board found
that it would be swamped with ap-
plications for extensions and deter
mined to settle up the fines at the

AS TO SALOON INTERESTS. ~

reader comments the fact that The Press yesterday
enumerated saloon interests in those entitled to the
square deal interests included in the whole that goes
to make up great city.
The reader asks if saloon interests to be considered
an essential element in the making of great city and also
how Senator Hutchinson could and the other in
terests representing far better and conflicting grades OF
human endeavor
The Press will not be accused of undue friendship for
the saloon interests 1t has hammered saloon corruption
in politics and expects continue that until poll
tics is purged of such corruption 1t is necessarily corrup
ton because the saloon interests command few vOrS they
do not pay the cash for.
And there other indictments against the saloon in
dctments that the list of the moral law.
But the saloon is established business into which
men, many of them personally good and able have invest
ed heavily They justification for this in the fact that
have it.
On this basis the saloon interests rghtfuly included
in square deal proposition emanang from the executive
head of the city The city accepts saloon money part
OF public in return for which it contracts certain
amount of obligation to the saloon business.
In this the administration also contracts heavy obiga
ton to the public that every regulation necessary
orderly and unobssve conduct of the saloon business
enforced.
The finer points involved in discussion of the liquor
question not involved here The facts that saloons
exist IN Spokane They not necessary to building OF
greater Spokane, but they active element of the
cty's business life and are to be considered
1t is for the people to whether they remain part
of not-not the mayor And the people will be able
% exercise their choice in that respect because of the
efforts of men like Hutchinson who believe in sending such
questions back to the people for decision.
1t perversy of politics that in spite of his work for
Che local option bill Hutchinson encounters the opposition
not only of the Saloons but of the forces representing
claiming to represent church memberships and the people
supposed to be most rabdy arrayed against the saloon
Yet there is in the mayoralty well fitted
TO give each of these and all other elements that go
make up this city square deal He will enforce the law
ut all events.
If the people decide to abolish the saloons he will not
be found trying to block their desires.
If they do decide they may depend upon it that
every regulation prescribed will be applied and that any
others that become necessary will be supplied. On
the other hand the saloon will be assured of fair
hearing in matters that affect Them although lacking the
hold of anything in the nature of pledge He ask
nothing and very rarely expect much from
man he cannot influence.
The Hutchinson proposition is this: Fairness and JUS
fce toward citizen and resident of Spokane regard
less of occupation 1t is the attitude only the candidate
without clique occupy

COUNTY CAR FARE
BIG ITEM : /

The county is good customer of
the street car lines, especially of
the w. w. p. For the last two
months the street car bills of the
deputies in the sheriff's Office and
the two constables amounted to
sos. The sheriff's Office use about
$40 of books per month.
The commissioners think this is
a pretty stiff street railway bill but
have not yet devised any method by
which 1t may be reduced. They
might require a certified statement
by the deputy sheriffs that every
street car ride taken is on business
for the county. 1t is feared the
smoke arising from the passage Of
an order of this kind would be so
dense around the courthouse that
the temple of justice might for
time be obscured from public view

New York, Aug Prices OF American
stocks rose above yesterdays New York
closing i'm the London market to-day. and
the London prices were taken up at the
opening here. with Steel common at 763s
TO 767s on a wide" opening sale Of 10000
shares
There was a disposition 70 regard the
strength OF the London market as due
TO a better feeling there. and this cir
cumstance was everywhere regarded as
Of favorable import on this market, for
the reason that London had sold on bal
ance in the previous days Of the week,
and that conditions abroad have caused
greater concern than have any Of the
months developments here
The London advance was accordingly
followed by spirited trading here until be-
fore the first hour was over the market
became more buoyant than on any pre-
vious day Of the week.
Advance Is General.
The advance embraced practically all
the stocks on the list. and the trading was
keen and at times enthusiastic.
steel common and Union Pacific were
y
botn selling well above previous nigh
record prices, and the latter deriving
strength apparently from a new and more
generally accepted report that the COM
pany had latterly Increased its holdings
~ New York Central stock
Atchison. Rock Island St Paul and
other stocks OF the Granger roads also
supplied features of decided strength.
and additional interest was taken IN
Rock Island on account Of the COM

increase Of Sl.96l, 900 IN gross, and S225, 900

Big Telephone Contract.
A development OF market Importance
was the contract secured by the Western
Electric Company. a subsidiary OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany FOR the installation Of telephone
appliances in Pekin.
In the second hour the market was
obliged % absorb a large number Of
those realizing sales customary az the
close OF business for the week. and alb
sorbed them readily and without material
recessions IN prices.
The average at the close showed a
level more than 81 a share above that
az the close last week. Notwithstanding
the reaction in the middle Of the week.
The bank statement showed. as was
expected, a loss Of cash and an Increase
IN loans, the latter being due 20 the con-
siderably increased volume Of business
on the stock exchange. The figures Of
the actual statement presented an in
