He Saves the City a Neat
Sum of Money. ..
1E BOUGHT BONDS AT PAR
BUT FOR HIS ACTION THE CITY
WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY IN
TEREsT ON $4,000 FOR THE
NEXT TWENTY YEARS.

BY a bit of skillful manipulation
and taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity, City Controller Parry has re-
covered for the city $1,000 in bonds on
which it would have had to pay inter-
est for about twenty years. The bonds
were purchased at par from the sink
ing fund.
Mr.. Parry saw an advertisement in
a local paper to the effect the holder
Of the bonds would sell them at par
He telephoned to a member of the
sinking fund committee and secured
consent to buy the bonds If he could
get them. He hunted up the advertiser
and completed the deal. The bonds
were issued in 1906 to provide for the
general fund. They were four per
cent straight municipal non-taxab,e
bonds. BY the purchase on the part CT
the controller the city acquires these
bonds Immediately without having to
pay interest until the time of maturity
and then redeeming them. The fact
the owner was willing to dispose of
them without premium was also sur
prising.

One Now Could Hardly Imag-
inc That Only Recently Fe-
rocious War on Saloons
Had Been Waged.
MAY BE A LONG TIME
BEFORE WAR RESUMED
Not Long Ago Was Talk Of
Holding an Election in Allen
County, But This Is Not
Heard at Present Time.

Indianapolis, July There is such
a lull in the affairs OF the anti-saloon
workers of the state just now that one
would hardly imagine that during the
last few months there was waged a
ferocious warfare against the SALOONS
of Indiana. Local option elections
have been held in all of the counties
of the state in which the Anti-Saloor
league felt sure that it could win. and
wherever an election is held i'll the
future tho league will find big fight
OH its hands I. seems to be the gen
eral belief that it will be a long time
before am more elections are called
in the state.
Saloon Firmly Rooted.
Not long ago there was much talk
of an election in Allen county but this
talk died out when it was given out
that conditions in that county are not
ripe for an election. TIE saloon IS so
deeply ard firmly rooted in Allen
county that it is admitted that it
would be a mcst difficult matter to
unroot it and drive i oat. It is point
ed out that the people of Fort Wayne
and CT Allen county are very well sat
isfied to let the saloons stav provided
they make a showing of an effort to
obey the law. Fort Wayne dry would
be wonder.
So after the anti-saloon forces made
a thorough canvass of the situation
in Allen county and studied the SEN
timent of the people they decided that
the time for camraign in that coun-
ty had not yet arrived. and the pro-
position was dropped. to be taken up
again only after the temperance peo-
pie feel that they have good chance

SPOKANE WILL
CELEBRATE
MIDDLE OF MARCH TO BE SET
ASIDE AS A CIVIC HOLIDAY IN
HONOR OF WINNING FAMOUS
RATE CASE.

Spokane, March 5.-Manufactur-
ers, jobbers, merchants and resi-
dents of Spokane will be invited to
participate in great jubilee to cele-
brate the city's triumph before the
interstate commerce commission in
the famous rate case, instituted
against the transcontinental rail-
roads operating in this territory
The celebration is being arranged by
| the interstate commerce committee
of the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce committee of the Spokane
chamber of commerce under the d.
rection of A. w. Doland and Jacob
A. Schiller, who have fought for
equitable rates from Chicago and
eastern points since 1892. The date
has not been fixed, but it is an
nounced that Mayor C. Herbert
Moore will proclaim civic
holiday about the middle of March.
When the interstate commerce
commission, headed by Martin A.
Knapp, declared in its decision that
the freight rates imposed upon Spo-
kane are higher than those to Seat
tie, more distant point, and held
| the charges are unjust and inner
emily unreasonable, and ordered a
reduction of 16 2-3d per cent on all
class rates from st. Paul and SINH
lar one from Chicago to this city,
| it made a ruling which will be of
vast benefit to every inland town and
city in the United States where SIM
liar conditions prevail.
eve look upon this decision as
the most far-reaching yet given by
the commission" said Henry M.
Stephens, of Spokane, who, with
Brooks Adams, of Boston, conducted
the case, which was the first insti-
tuted under the new law, land we
full authority to carry out any con-
clusion it may reach in this action.
The general effect will be cut of
about one-sixth in the prevailing
rates. This will give manufacturers
and merchants in this city an oppor-
tunity to operate in a trade zone
which is rightly theirs, embracing
something like 100000 square miles
in eastern Washington, northern Ida
ho, western Montana and southeast
ern Oregon"

to Washington two of their leading
men, Straight Head and Iron Light

that vicinity. They waEt to keep for
themselves a strip Of country eight

the Indians who do not desire to take
allotments can make their tribal
homes AS the tract they are asking
for is in the heart of the section which
it is proposed to open to settlement
the chances of their request being
granted are not very roseate. The
Indian must meet the inevitable, and
