In the first official appearance

Milwaukee, notice was served on
it's legal representative, II. M. Dud-

Councilman Shaefer made the
motion which was adopted as to

in going over Reuterdahrs water

MERRY FIGHT
IS PROMISED

Some interesting developments
are promised at the special meet
ing of the city council called for
tonight to consider the request of
Mayor Pratt that the saloon license
of Jack Wilmot be cancelled.
1t is predicted that the city coun-
Gil will sustain Wilmot, but others
say that the police department has
some trump cards UP its sleeve that
the council can not get away from.
The charge is made that the
prosecution of Wilmot Is being
pushed because he opposed Mayor
Pratt in the city election, and
reference Is made to the screens at
the Oak bar and A. d. Mars, which
are said to be as bad as Wilmot,
with which the police are not in
terefering. At all events it prom

SPATS ENLIVEN MEETING;
FORECASTED ACTION TAKEN

The responsibility of carrying
out the measures Of water relief or
dered by the city council one
month ago is now up to Mayor
Pratt.
After a full and free discussion,
In which some interesting ex-
changes were made, the city coun-
Gil last night, as forecasted in The
Press, ordered that the work on
the new standpipes and reservoirs
proceed by contract and that the
rest of the water extensions be car
ried on, by day labor.
Thomas Maloney and some of his
employees on public contracts were
there to root for the day labor idea,
but this was offset by, a delegation
of men and women from the water
parched district on the north hill,
that applauded every utterance
that favored the speedy carrying
out of the measures of water relief.
In the final vote as to how the
work should proceed, but one coun-
Gilman, Ostrander, stood out for en-
tire day labor on the improvement,
as advocated in the special mess
ages from the mayor and board of
public works, while the other nine
councilmen = Funk, Cartwright,
Shaefer, Gray, Lambert, Schiller,
Mohr, Dalke and Nelson-voted
that the concrete work be done by
contract and the rest of the under
taking by day labor
Spectacular features Of the dis
cussion were the threat by one of
Tom Maloney's foremen to visit
the "black hand" upon all council
men that voted against day labor.
Councilman Mohr referred to
Mayor Pratt as car that says to
the majority of his board of public

he termed the, interference on the

100 CLAIMS At
"A VALUE or
$4,000 EACH.

More than 100 claims in the
Occur d'Alene Indian reservation,
Just opened, are valued at approx
mately $4,000 each. Special value
is attached to those in the big
white pine timber belt, where the
stumpage sells at about 1915 per
thousand feet.
In the Spokane reservation, it
is estimated that the land embrac-
ing the river is worth at least 500
an acre, as is much Of that in the
Flathead reservation. Much of the
Flathead land requires only a suf-
ficiency of water to make it one of
the most valuable tracts of land in
the west.
Contrary to the general belief, it
it stated that practically all the
land in the Spokane reservation is
fit for farming as soon as 1t Is
cleared. Taken as a rule, the land
in the Occur d'Alene reserve is
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 per
quarter section, 1t is declared, and
there is little of it that is not worth
$4,000 per claim.
In the neighborhood Of 1000
acres of land, comprising the town
sites Of st. Maries, Worley, DeSmet
and Plummer, Idaho, surrounded by
the Occur d'Alene reservation, will
be placed on the market at public
auction this fall, according to re-
ports.
