BOOMER WANTS
A BATTLE

If Tom Wilson, appearing in a
fight role at the Orpheum this
week. wants a scrap. he don't have
to walk further than the central
fire station, where Boomer Weeks
impatiently awaits him.
Joe Fitzgerald. also a fire lad
die, who thinks that Wilson would
last about a minute with husky old
Boomer" says If no one will hang
up q purse for the victor of a
battle lik ethat represented at the
Orpheum, with Tom Wilson as the
star, his comrade. Boomer" will
pummel him good just for the fun
of it.
Now Boomer" Weeks is sort
of modest little fellow and don't
care to have the public think that
in his own estimation he is the
real old champ, but he would like
to be roped into a small space with
DR.. Roller of Seattle, Tom Wilson
the actor and a few more them
that think they can soak 'em some.
Fitzgerald declares that Boom
err" will go to San Francisco or
any other place on this great big
earth where the nghting game Is
permitted to meet either of the
above mentioned budding pugs. He
might even take on Jack Johnson
if there is money enough in sight.
Wilson has already heard of
Boomer" Weeks. Boomers" big
mits were jumping all over a type
writer at headquarters of the fire
department when the actor climbed
up the stairs to see him, but after
sizing the laddie up for a couple
of minutes, Fitzgerald says, Wilson
said he could get all the training
he wanted down at the show every
day. Boomer" fails to see where
it would be just plain training, and
won't be satisfied till he gets a
chance to show him.

TRAINS ON THE
MOVE AGAIN
SERVICE STILL UNCERTAIN,
BUT WORK OF REPAIRING
WAsHoUTS Is PROGRESSING
AND DANGER Is CONSIDERED
PAST.

Northern Pacific trains are run
ming in both directions in and out
OF Spokane today, and the tracks
are cleared all the way to the
coast. Repairs were made at the
scenes of washouts at Sprague and
Lind, Wash, last night, and several
of the trains were started imme-
diately afterward.
On the o. R. & NJ, both the
Walla Walla and the Wallace
branches are running in fair condi-
ton today. No. 1 left here this
morning about Z o'clock and will
return from Walla Walla this even
ing about or 10 o'clock. No. 3
will leave on time this evening,
providing no more trouble is re-
ported before that time.
Washouts on the Great Northern
near Wilson Creek, Wash, have
tied up traffic over the main line
Of that road between here and
Adrian, and the road is running its
trains over the Washington Central
branch of the Northern Pacific as
far as Adrian, there connecting
with it's own line. The roadbed
will be fixed up in the vicinity Of
Wilson creek some time tonight,
local officials state, and chances
are good for the road to be oper-
ating fairly we'll by tomorrow.
Spokane international trains
have been delayed by landslide
about four miles east Of Boomers
Ferry. Idaho. Most of the trains
arriving from the east are marked
to arrive at indefinite periods
throughout the day, and it is
doubtful if many of the trains will
be running on schedule time for
several days yet.
General reports from the sur
rounding country indicate that the
flooded districts are being relieved
and no further danger is immi-
nent.

WATER DEAL BAD
FOR CITY
CONTINUED from page-1l

1t is further shown that the main
on Grand street, Thirty-fourth to
Thirty-sixth avenues. is nok an
eight inch main as shown d the
plat, but q four inch main; thkt the
six inch main shown on Twenty
ninth avenue. Grand to Mantle
boulevard, is only a fourth inch
main; that $50 feet of six inch
main shown on Thirty-third avenue
is laid on private grounds belong
ing to the Country club, and that
main shown as being on Thirty
second avenue is in the alley in
stead of being in the street. The
investigation revealed that there
are $4,000 feet of four. inch mains
in the system, all of which are too
small, as the city installs no mains
smaller than six inches. There are
700 feet of mains on Garfield av-
enue which are Of no value, as no
lots Adult on that street. Some
mains are laid in the center of the
street and some on the side of the
street and the wrong side at that.
The main on Mantle boulevard. the
report recites. leaks 80 badly that
it would not hold water.
Mr.. Wetzel's report further says
that first class wood pipe, laid four
feet in the ground, can be installed
to duplicate the Grinnell plant for
$14,626. or laid in steel for $4,000.
The South Mantle plant is reported
to be constructed of poor quality
wood pipe, that the mains are i'm
properly laid and too shallow and
have no hydrant tees for fire pro-
lection.
The report recommends that the
city do not buy the plant, as under
the ordinance under consideration
the company owning it would have
the right to lay more wooden
mains in large territory yet to
be plated.

WILL FINLEY
GET FEE?
Bond Sale Commission Dug
Up and Referred to
Council.

The claim Of J. ID. Finley for
SITS for negotiating the sale of the
100000 issue of city bridge bonds
a year ago. has been referred to
the city council by the sinking
fund commission. in which the bill
has reposed for many months.
The matter came into Finley's
hands in this way: Finley was
going east on other business. and
protesting to be acquainted with
some of the bond houses, asked
Mayor Moore and N. s. Pratt. then
president Of the city council, and
partner Of Finley, to give him a
chance to see what he could do in
the matter of the sale of the
bonds, that he would make no
charge against the city other than
his expenses on the trip.
The city having been unable to
interest anyone In the bonds, the
mayer and president of the city
council accepted Finley's offer and
agreed with him to leave the mat
ter of the bond sale open for 80
days. This agreement with Finley
was reported to the bond commits
sion, with which Finley had no
direct negotiations. The bond COM
mission made no objections, as
Finley had started, although in the
meantime a proposition came in
from a bond house in Cleveland,
which could not be accepted, ow-
ing to the commission having pass
ed its word to Finley.
Finley interested Deavitt, Trim
BILE & Co. in the issue and closed
a deal with them. but the money
was not forthcoming. After paying
out about $4,000 on the assurance
that the bonds had been sold. no
money was yet in sight. Two
months after Finley had interest
ed the Chicago men City Treas
urer Eggleston. who in a way was
holding the sack by keeping the
bridge account on cash basis.
went to New York to see A. B.
Leach & Co.. whom the Chicago
firm had interested as the final
purchasers of the bonds. Leach &
Co. dubbed about taking the
bonds. and Eggleston gave them
"a hours in which to do business.
Within the allotted time Leach &
Go. decided to accept the issue,
and a payment on the bonds was
made to Treasurer Eggleston.

sinking fund commission to reim-
purse him for the expense entailed

SPECULATION IN
GORDON CASE

1t is believed here that Prosecu-
tor Pugh has developed evidence
outside of that shown in the report
of the state bar committee. or no
action would have been begun
against Gordon in Spokane. Some
hold that the arrest of Gordon may
possibly result in the opening up
of the relations of Gordon as at
torney for the Great Northern and
bring out the complete story of
his relations with Judge Root of
the supreme bench. Others think
the failure of the Great Northern to
take hand in the case will handi
cap the state and result in the de-
feat Of the prosecution.
At all events Judge Gordon is
well backed for his defense.

ting the money. STA, he was told
by Mayor Moore that not one cent
would be given, and no allowance
has been made. On the same trip
Mr.. Eggleston also finally closed a
deal for the issue of 100000 park
bonds, for the sale of which a
tentative agreement had been
made, but no money was in sight.
For its share of this expense the
park board allowed Mr. Eggleston
SIC.
The sinking fund commission is
composed of the mayor. the city
comptroller, the city treasurer and
the president of the council.
The whole dispute as to whom
should be reimbursed for deliver
ing the goods" in the bond sale
will now be threshed out in city
council.

A bunch of AuStrians crowded

fight took place and the three men
who beat up the two laborers made
their escape before the police could
get to the scene of the excitement.

HIGHWAY TO GRAND CANYON

Territorial Engineer James Cir land in speaking of road work says: II will have a highway through the territory to Grand Canyon from southern Arizona constructed in the next two years. l am in touch now with the officials of all the counties in the territory concerning road affairs and will have my office in shape to commence the con- struction of highways as soon az funds are availa ble under the road law.
 "Data is being gathered for a new map showing all the roads in Arizona. lam in communication with all the good roads associations in the territory and am assisting in the organization of others"
 The proposed road is to connect the following towns of importance: Douglas, Bisbee, Tucson, Benson, Silver Bell, Mesa. Tempe. Phoenix, Hot Springs, Harrington Grown King, Senator, Prescott, Williams md Grand Canyon. The route from Prescott through Williams to Grand Canyon is the most feasible and the road can be built with less expense than any other route that could be selected.
 The people in the southern end are working for the early con- struction of a territorial highway and the main travel will be towards Grand Canyon, consequently it will mean to this city almost as much as a railroad. There are other towns which are trying to influence the building of the road from it's natural course their way. This will hardly be done as it would mean the expenditure of public funds foolishly. The people of Williams are aware of the inn portance of the highway and will not let it go around the city.

Unreasonable Disparities in Prices

Instances of remarkable dispari- ties between wholesale and retail prices for certain classes of articles were brought to the attention of the senate the other day, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Senator Scott, who is a glass manufacturer, showed halt gallon pitcher. which he said his firm sells for 90 cents a dozen, but which retails at about 40 cents apiece, an advance of more than 530 per cent. Senator Flint cited a case where set of Havi- land china which cost the whole saler $1O.90 was retailed for $36, and Senator Lodge said that tea which sells at wholesale at 16 cents a pound is retailed throughout the land at 60 cents pound, an ad- vance of 480 per cent. No sugges- ton was made of any possible regu
 lation of retail prices to prevent these excessive profits, and it is difficult to see how any regulation could be made. But it is plain tha, a protective tariff on these articles does not increase the cost to the consumer as the advocates of Gre vision" claim. The margin be tween wholesale and retail prices is too great for the latter to be af fected by an import duty.

Bryan vs. Solomon

William Jennings Bryan has tried his hand at condensing one of the proverbs of Solomon. In 8 speech before the legislature of Ok lahoma. said: ''One proverb I have often quoted is, .The wise man for seeth the evil and hideth himself, but the foolish pass on and are panished.' It is great truth. and beautifully expressed, but I found it did not stick in peoples minds, and so I condensed it, and it is the only effort have ever made to inn prove upon a proverb; and this is not an improvment. it is merely a condensation. It is not as beauti- full as Solomon's proverb, but more easily remembered. It means the same thing in a condensed form: The wise man gets the idea in his head: the foolish man gets it in the neck.'"

HARDsHIPS ENDUREDBY TRUTH

"I am naked" said Truth, and shivered. "Come here," said the grafter, land I will dress you as you should be dressed" And SO Truth was rigged out in the gar ments he provided for her. She presented a sorry figure. and many people took her for an effigy. Look ing at herself in the glass she dis covered that something was wrong. And so she flung aside the gar ments and started forth once more.
 "I am still naked" she said.
 "As if." cried the Scientist, II hadn't been waiting all these years to show you just how you should be garbed." And so he caught her and fitted her out with a complete wardrobe. It certainly looked al- turing. Truth was fetching in the extreme. She looked SO convincing that she was almost ready to believe she had now become, through the force of outward appearances, the real thing. But alas! Her colors did not wear. As fast as her clothes were made for her by this new tailor they faded. And once more Truth stole away and denuded herself.
 "Still naked" she murmured. A Theologian came along.
 "And so." he said, "perhaps you will be ready now to believe that l can improve your appearance" and he promptly logged her out in sur plice and stole and put a solemn mask on her face.
 Truth stood it as long as she could. II am suffocating" she ex- claimed, at last, and tore off the mask and the other robes and she started to run away.
 Come here," said Good Society land I will give you precedence over the mighty.
 But Truth shook her head.
 Sorry" she replied, "but have a permanent engagement at the bot. tom of a we'll. No one will trouble me there, as there are too many germs.
 And Truth found herself at last Exchange.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Helena, Mont, May 28.-The registrar and receiver of the United States land office here has rendered decision respecting minral claims in forest reserves, which if affirmed by the department at Washington, will do much to remove the causes of complaint which have been lodged against the administration of those reserves in the western states.
 The case is the United States against Garneau and Hickey, pros- pectors in the Helena reserve, who had located several quartz claims therein. Charges were brought against each location, alleging "no discovery of minerals" The opinion says:
 "The only question to be consid- cred here is as to whether a discov- cry has been made and the forest service mining expert contends that there's not been because the values obtained by him did not meet his idea of values that should be dis closed in a discovery.
 According to this idea the expert would have the discovery of mineral in paying quantities at the very outset of the location. Such a conten. ton could not be sustained for g moment because, if such were the case, the prospector would be actu ally precluded from making g location of mine claim in the first instance, as paying mines general, are not disclosed on the surface ano are only made by exploration anc development"
 Hence, the decision was in favor of the prospectors. The government will appeal to the general lanc office.
