BIG DEALS BEGIN
TO MATERIALIZE

The two-story building adjoining
the Zeigler block on the east has
been sold by the owners, the
Antlers' Investment Co., to w. H.
Linney, a Occur d'Alene mining
man, for $4,000. The ground
area is 30x142 feet, and is entirely
covered by the building, which is
under lease for period of 10 years
at $3.50 per month for the first five
years and $3.50 per month for the
last five years.
The Railroaders' Home property,

the Dorman brothers, who made a
fortune in wheat growing in Whit
man county. The consideration
was 100000. The property has a

MILEAGE COSTS
STATE $4,000
Especial to The PresS)

OLYMPIA, Jan. Cot cost the
state $4,038 to get the members of
the house to Olympia and back to
their homes. The senate, with half
this number, will add $4,000 more.
The mileage of the members Of
the legislature to and from Olym-
pia is paid by the state at the rate
of 10 cents mile each way, de-
spite the fact that the actual cost
is never more than four cents.
This is one of the old time bits of
easy money that clings, and no one
seems anxious to have it removed.
When the house committee made
its report it only gave Representa-
tive Morris of Thurston county 20
miles, which amounts to So, over
looking the fact that Mr.. Morris
had to get home again. Mr.. Morris
didn't overlook 1t for more than a
brief moment, and promptly Sc
cured his additional 81. e. L..
Farnsworth, of Lincoln, and Henry
Spedden, of Stevens, draw the big
money, Farnsworth getting $105
and Spedden $106.

OLE WAS THERE
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 20.-There was
one tense moment in the house
when the speaker for the first time
called for the introduction of bills.
Ole Hanson was waiting. Ole
wanted the honor of having his
race track bill the first to be in
troduced and Ole had been jobbed
and jostied so frequently that he
did not know what to expect.
With a menacing eye on all the
bill clerks, he glowered, poised as
If to jump over his desk and all
the house, and the spectators in
the gallery held their breaths until
the reading clerk relieved the sus-
pense by reading the anti-arce
track bill.
Then Ole drew the first sigh of
relief that he has allowed to escape
him since he came to Olympia.

BLUE LAWS
1URlED down
NEW CODE FRAMED BY STATE
PROSECUTORS MOST STRIN-
GENT IN REGARD TO ACTUAL
CRIMINALS.
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 20.-The new
criminal code has been completed
and will be taken up with sub
committee of the judiciary COM
mittee, then referred to the whole
committee and ordered printed. 1t
will take 10 days or two weeks to
accomplish this.
Under this new code, the. Sun
day blue laws and other classed
by some as ''puritanicaP will be
eliminated, while the road will be
made rougher in every respect for
the thief and criminal. All the
loop holes through which burglars,
safe crackers, confidence men and
card sharpers have escaped since
the organization of Washington
will be blocked up.
The code plans severe punish
ment for the man who runs an
open gambling house, but takes
care to protect the man who wants
to play penny ante at his home or
q small game at his club. Pool
selling will be stopped, but two
friends may test their judgments.
1t makes distinction between pub
lie and private gambling
Saloons are to be closed on Sun
day, but theaters will be allowed
to run without any legal interfer-
ence. All sports will be permitted
on Sunday, as long as they do not
become noisome or a nuisance.
The design of the prosecuting at
torneys has been to draw laws that
can be enforced and will be. They
have striven to keep away from
extremes in all cases where there
may exist an honest difference of
opinion as to what Is permissible
and what Is not. They have drawn
I upon their experience in securing
convictions and have aimed to get

Ora VES' ULTIMATUM ON
NEW EAST OLIVE BRIDGE

citys bridge at East Olive avenue.
When the Washington Water
Power Co. applied for a franchise
to cross the Howard street bridge
the war for territory between the
Traction company's lines and the
Washington Water Power lines
was bitter. The use of the Howard
street bridge enabled them to in
wade practically the only good ter
ritory we had where their lines
were not already constructed and
in competition to ours.
AS a conditio INTO receiving the
franchise the Washington Water
Power Co. was required to put the
bridges In good condition for car.
frying their traffic as we'll as the
other traffic passing over them.
EShortly after this was done one of
these bridges fell because of high
water or some unexplained reason.
lin agreeing as to the replacement
of this bridge certain obligations
were entered into, perhaps not le-
gal. but at least moral, on the
part of the Water Power company
with respect to bearing the expense
of putting all the bridges in good
condition, and from this grew the
offer to contribute one third to the
cost of building new bridges on
Howard street.
AS to the Monroe street bridge,
we have only to point out to you
that there is existing between the
Washington Water Power Co. and
the city of Spokane an alleged con-
tract which purportetd to require
the Washington Water Power Co.
to bear one half the expense of
repairs on the Monroe street
bridge or any other bridge that
might be put in its place.
In endeavoring to settle the con-
troversy that arose in the matter,
which involved large sum of
money, the Washington Water
Power Co. as we understand, offer
ed as a compromise to pay very
considerable sum of money, $780,
900, toward a new bridge, but the
conditions under which it made
this offer related to it's purported
legal obligations, whatever they
may be. and not as to the value
of the bridge for use by street
railway per Sc.
We beg to say in conclusion that
so far as our financial obligations
are concerned we would much rath-
81 that the city reject than accept
the offer made. 1t would not have
lSeen made had 1t not been at the
solicitation of the representative of
a constituency east of the river.
which We serve. with which we
have always been on good terms
and with which we hope to con.
tinue on good terms.
We hake this offer not because
OF any legal obligation we deem
ed imposed on us, but as part or
the plan we have in the past en-
deavored to carry out and will in
the future hope to follow. Of meet
ing, in SO far as it is possible for
us to do In a businesslike conduct
of our affairs. with the wishes of
the people OF this city.
If your honorable body in its
wisdom sees fit to decline this offer
1t can only mean that We shall have
to abide by the conditions as they
now exist, and We trust that what
has occurred shall not alter our re-
lations to the people of the city.

After arriving at this determina-
ton, Mr.. Funk, who had learned
of our plan and that it's carrying
out would necessarily lead to no
contribution at all being made by
this company to the construction
of the city's bridge, came to us in
the interests of his constituents,
who are very DESTROYS that a
bridge be constructed at East
Olive avenue, and requested us to
make some contribution and to
formulate the very best proposal
that We would be Wiling to make.
there can be any possible obliga,
ton upon us to contribute to the
cost Of building city bridge when
we can accommodate our traffic;
equally as well over our private,
bridge, yet as that view may not
| be taken in some quarters, and de-
| string to avoid, If by any rea-
SOnable means We can do so,
criticism, however unfounded: and
for the further reason, which we
| do not disguise, that it would be
more convenient for us to run our
| city street cars over the East
Olive avenue bridge than over our
own bridge. even when it is en-
larged as projected because it will
t,, 4
rection of travel, we have deter
mined to make this proposition:
If the cit Twill build either a
steel or a concrete bridge at East
Olive avenue, capable of sustain
ing our city street cars. and wide
enough to accommodate them
without embarrassing traffic. we
| will contribute to the cost thereof
$4,000, one half to be paid when
the work is under way and one
half upon the completion of the
bridge, or we will pay $1.00. a year
to the city during the life of our
franchise across the Olive avenue
bridge. which is about 20 years. Il
Admittedly we are under no OBJ
legation to contribute anything to
the cost Of this bridge. and we are
entitled under our franchise to use
any bridge which the city may
construct without paying therefor,
When to this is added that we shall
within the very next few years be
obliged to enlarge and double
track our private bridge for the
accommodation of our interurbaa
lines, though the city street cars Do
not use Il; that when the bridae
Is enlarged it would accommodate
the street railway line as well as
the interurban lines. it will be seen
that II our offer to pay $1,000 per
year is accepted, whereby we will
ultimately pay $4,000 for the use
of the city's bridge at East Olive
avenue for the use of the street
railway cars only, We will have In
vested $43.015 in bridges when an
investment OF $23,015 would have
subserved our end practically as
well.
In this connection we desire to
say word concerning the COM
PARSONS which have been made be-
tween the offer which we have
made as to the East Olive avenue
bridge and the offers made by the
Washington Water Power Co. with
respect to the bridges on Howard
street and Monroe street. We have
endeavored to point out to you
heretofore why there Is little or no
! gain to this company In using the

intention Of the company to erect as
far as possible homes according to the
plans and designs of individual owners,
this being done, of course, under the

TO secure pleasing contrast in design,

The houses already erected in the

Those which have attracted unusual at
