should blush in shame, remove the
crimson stain from his seemingly vir-

reference that he has made regarding
Socialism, and have cited it in the
proper places to which it belongs.

His reference of the degrading of
the moral and religious beliefs by So

NO. sir. Our homes will be our own,
we will not be interested in the re-
g1me as present indications point OF
believing in the co-ownership of the
workingman's home by certain so
called intellectuals having the RIGHTS
OF the home in the absence of the
workingman. What is morality ?
Does it come under the head Of the
people paying your barber bill and
having the same charged to the
treasury department of our country d?
Does it come under the head Of hir-
ing men to watch the movements Of
the officials of the national capitol, If
morality should have virtue it

While doing another, we must all re-
member that Christ said: Not all of
them that say Lord, Lord, shall enter
the Kingdom of Heaven. How many
trusts did you brake with the big
stick? Why did you not give the evil
dence you had regarding the steel
trust to the officials who demanded
the same of you? Why did you
shield them as president of the
United States and still cry for re-
forms?
Jewel Of Consistency.
You termed Socialism as Anarchy
some time ago, you condemned So
cialists as undesirable citizens, as
men who should be feared, and now
you are coming out with another
article entitled. "Where We Can Work

we assume the right to call in the
terms that Christ used hypocite. Yes,

"You can fight us there for
ever" said Nelson.
When Gilman stated that he
wofiid not consider the proposal to
pay 25 per cent on the viaduct Mr..
Ostrander offered motion to cast
the Great Northern matter aside
and proceed with the North Coast
franchise. The motion passed
without opposition and then Gill
man got busy in private confer
ences with the committee, but If
it had any effect there was no in
dication of it. AS the matter
stands it is up to the Hill line to
square itself on the viaduct or for
get the franchise it wants. The
present city council is beyond the
point of taking further chances on
railroad promises.
They figure that the railroads
need Spokane more than Spokane
needs the railroads.

Ostrander Puts in a Rider
That Looks Fatal to
North Coast.

The North Coast franchise appli-
cation last night ran into stone
wall of favorable freight rate SEN
timent in the city council last
night, reinforced by an abutment
of objection to it's proposal to va
cate Wall street north of Front.
The plants of private property
owners on the north side who are
fighting the railroads disposition
to put a railroad through their
home property were not reached,
but the complainants were there
in force, with Alex Winston as
their spokesman.
E. F. c. Van Dissell, on behalf
of the Phoenix mill, cast the first
stone in opposing the closing of
Wall street because of the damage
the mill property would suffer by
being cut off from the street. He
charged r. A. Strahorn with bad
faith in his promises to agree to
take care of property damage
claims.

or payment Of judgment the mill

of closing the street.
But the North oCast struck It's
worst piece Of track when Ostran-
der offered an amendment prOvidr
ing that the North Coast should be
bound in the franchise 70 grant
Spokane terminal rates on freight
carried as transcontinental traflic.
He also proposed a common user
clause and supported both with
more vigor than he has yet shown
in civic warfare.
Attorney Hamblen argued that
the imposition of terminal rates ON
the new road would be rewarding
the old roads that are under no
such provision at the expense OF
the new company; would make
traffic agreements with the old
roads impossible. and would also
kill all prospect of further financ-
ing the North Coast. r. A. Stra-
horn. chief representatives of the
North Coast, stated that the rate
provision, If enforced. would COM
pei his company to drop further
plans.
That brought up the rate ques-
ton again, and A. A. Kraft en-,
gagged in word duel with III. u.
Moody, who arose to defend the
railroad from imposition of condi-
tons.

GRAND JURY
DIGGING Deep
Reported Discovery Of Sealed Bid Raising
Questions in County Tract Index Deal.

When the grand jury today
launched into an investigation of
the sale of the county tract induces
it Is understood that it was shown
a sealed bid given the county COM
missioners for the lease of the in
dices, made by a man named Mar
tin, candidate for treasurer on the
democratic county ticket last fall,
who offered to pay $500 per year
rent for the indices, whereas they
were leased to Jack Webster for
$240 per year.
1t is understood that this bid was
never placed of record in the COM
missioners' proceedings and was
resurrected by chance today among
the files of the county commission
ers' office. The tract index lease
was made for period of 10 years
and continued in force until their
sale about two years ago, through
Jack Webster, to the Union Trust
Co. for $3.50. Teh lease of the
books to Webster occurred over
four years ago and is therefore
barred from prosecution by the
statute of Limitation, which is three
years.
The sale Of the tract induces
however, is where the most ques-
tionable action occurred. The sale

was negotiated at star chamber sess,
sions and nothing was knownI
about it by the public until readZ}

The compilation of the tract Ina
dices cost the county in labor and4
material $4,000 to $4,000, and3
would be worth to the county tor
day, in the opinion of the newt
county commissioners, $4,000 to

COUNCIL DROPS BIG STICK
ON GREAT NORTHERN

Before the city council last night
the Great Northern began to reap
the tares sown in the past, and the
ghosts of broken promises and I'M
just rate Determinations danced be-
fore the eyes of l.. c. Gilman; rail-
road attorney, until Gilman con-
fesscd that he was thoroughly sick
of the sight and begged that it
vanish.
If the conclusions of the council
viaduct committee, consisting of
Gray, Baldwin and Nelson, and sup
ported by the council last night,
are adhered to the Great Northern
will get no franchise into Spokane
for the Spokane, Portland & Seat
tie branch until the company
agrees to bear 25 per cent of the
cost of the Washington street via
duct. The franchise and the via
duct are not connected except that
advantage has been taken of the
company's request of the city for a
franchise as an opportunity of the
city forcing final action on re-
quest from the city that the COM
pany pay fair proportion of the
viaduct cost.
Nelson and Ostrander presented
the committees case, Gray being
IN the chair, and neither council
man suffered anything in the con-
test with the Hill general counsel.
Only Councilman Mohr comforted
Gilman. Schiller came into the
fight at an opportune time with a
brief review of railroad history In
Spokane when the city turned its
pockets wrong side out to buy the
Great Northern right of way
through town on a promise made
by Hill personally that Spokane
should command rates even better
than terminal rates. Tariff sheets
to show these rates were dis
tributed before the franchise was
passed and torn up afterward.
Schiller is peculiarly effective on
the rate question, and Gilman ar
gued in vain that the past had
nothing to do with the present.
Nelson also was as solid as rock
ON the matter of making the Great
Northern settle the viaduct dispute
before 1t could expect another ia.
vor from the city.
In answer to Gillman's argument
that the Great Northern had only
one track under the viaduct where
the other roads had 10. City Engi-
neer Ralston showed that the pres
ence Of the one track made a 25
per cent increase in the cost OF the
viaduct necessary. Gilman want.
ed the question settled In court
but the council was In no mood to
entertain the idea of waiting for
years for the courts to get final
action.
