NORTHSIDE DEMANDS
RELIEF FROM CITY
Either Furnish Water or Quit Collecting Pay
for Empty Mains and No Service.

The mayor and city council are
going to hear officially from the
northside on the water question.
The following plain statement Is
being circulated as petition and
the number of signatures 1t will
have may awaken at least rip
pie Of interest in a body that has
avoided every means within its
power to improve the water sys-
tenn In the past two years. Here
is the petition:
ITO the Honorable Mayor and
Executive Body Of the City of Spo-
kane: Owing to the fact that we,
the undersigned citizens of Allen
dale, Monroe Park and Pine Grove
Terrace additions, lying north on
the hill between Washington and
Jefferson streets, have been en-
tirely without water for a number
of days from 8 a. m. until as late
as 9 and 10 p. m, not even hav-
ing water to drink or cook with.
In one instance we are informed
Of one family under quarantine not
having a drink for a number OF
house. having suffered greatly from
the effects.

that from two to three men have

a poorer quality of paint than paid

Now, If one Of the wealthy resi-

TO BREAK OLD MANS WILL
Relatives of Rich Husband Attempt
to Cut His Widow Out.

Atlanta, Ga.-Mrs. Mary Crawford,
whose right to inherit the $3.50, 900 es-
tate of her late husband, Joshua B.
Crawford, of Atlanta, is being contested
on the ground that she got Crawford
drunk and induced him to marry her
while in that condition, is a daughter
of Gen. Brewster Savage, Of Pennsyl-
vania. Mrs. Crawford is a young and
beautiful woman. She was in st. Au-
g~ustine, Fla, last winter, and there met
Crawford, who went to that resort for
his health. In January her marriage to
Crawford was announced. Crawford
was &c years old, and stated he mar
ried Miss Savage because she knew how
to suit him. The couple returned to
Atlanta and soon afterwards Crawford
died of Indigestion, leaving his fortune
to the young wife. Crawford's relatives
have filed a suit to break the will, max
ing sensational charges against the
widow. They allege that she formed a
conspiracy to wed Crawford for his
money, and that she kept him drunk
for three weeks in St. Augustine, and,
finally, while stupidity intoxicated, she
had the marriage ceremony performed.

HILL TALKS OF WHEAT
ENTIRE CROP WILL BE CON
sUMED AT HOME.
Railroad Megnate Says It Is a Mis-.

Was CorneYed.

Seattle, Wash.-J. J. Hill, chairman
Of the Graf Northern board of directors,
discussing the recent wheat corner, said:
ut is a mistake to say James A. Patton
cornered the wheat market. Here is
merely a case of a man taking advantage
of an opportunity. 1t has been but .
few years since it was estimated that
the average consumption Of wheat per
annum in this country was six bushels,
but now the experts argue that it is
seven bushels and some pounds. The
census of 1910 will show that we have a
population of 10000, 900, which will
mean that we will require for our own
use $50, 900 bushels hereafter. We
raise now probably 650,0oo,o00 bushels
of wheat in the United States with good
crop conditions. This will leave us but
20,O00,000 bushels surplus for export,
while in the past we have exported up
ward of 100, 0Oo, 900 bushels per year.
So you can see we will need all our
wheat. to feed our own people"
