MAYOR PRATT |
URGES HASTE

| Mayor Pratt met with the water
commission yesterday afternoon
and heard the discussion of the re-
port of Zimmerman and Maloney.
The mayor said that he was favor
ably impressed with the sugges-
tons of the subcommittee and
urged that whatever recommends
tons were to be made should be
forwarded to the city council at
once. NJ
Il have always been an advocate
of an auxiliary power plant to use
in case our water power failed

suggestion to remedy the power
question by raising the dam was
backed by figures and looks plaus-

ting the standpipes in Kenwood
and Altamont that high pressure
mains would take care of those
sections.
"Mr. Zimmerman seemd to be
favorably impressed with our pres
ent source of water supply and
thought that, with the proper addi-
lions to the plant, 1t will suffice for
years to come"

ARE PLOTTING
SOME DARK DEEDS

There's some sort of stag affair
on at the Brotherhood of Owls
headquarters tomorrow night, and
Secretary Ownes claims that those
who do not attend will miss the
time of their life. It's to be some
thing in the form of a social, but
the exact purpose and nature of
the whole thing seems to be for
only a few of those in on the
ground floor to know.
1t is confidentially suggested that
all consult their attorney and the
life insurance man before going,
however, for there's no assurance
that those who attend that social
with r. A. Koontz as the grand
chef-will ever see the outside of
Owldom again. But Ownes says
don't pass it up even at the cost of
little thing like your life.

ed the people of Spokane.
People have no idea of the pur-
ity and fine quality of our city
water until they go elsewhere and
see what different cities are forced
to drink.
Before going into the city coun-
Gil, and prior to my investigation
of the water supply as member
of the water commission, had
formed the idea from reading
alarmists' reports that our city wa
ter supply was inadequate and that
1t would be only a matter of short
time until we would be forced to
go elsewhere for a supply.
81 am pleased to say that l have
since learned differently. We have
a water supply that with the proper
enlargement of our facilities is good
for at least 10 years and possibly
for all time. 1t is the best water
in the world. as recent analysis
has shown that it is almost abso-
lutely pure. What we want to do
is to enlarge our water plant SO as
to get plenty of this fine water to
the people, and there will be no
further water question in Spokane.
Commissioner Reuterdahls plans
impress me favorably and l think
that the water commission will in
the end get around and approve
them"

KING MANUEL
TO MARRY

The announcement that King Manuel
of Portugal is to marry Princess Bea-
trice of Saxe-Coburg has not caused
the earth to depart from its usual orbit.
There are really so many of these prin-
cesses that it is hard to keep track
of them, their births, marriages, and
deaths. Of course we all know who
King Manuel is, although it would be
had ever heard of him before the as
sassinatien of his father raised him to
the throne. The general impression we
then formed of him was a good one.
He had a good tempered, boyish face,
but all the pleasant signs of youth are
said to have disappeared under the
cares of state.
We may have liking for King Man
uel and yet be utterly at loss to un-
derstand why any sensible girl should
be willing to marry him, unless he
should consent to abdicate and to lead
a life that is not quite so strenuous
as his present one. Portugal is notorl-
ously on the verge of revolution. The
king and his mother are practically
prisoners in the palace, exposed to the
insults of the populace, and compelled
to acquiesce in the public celebrations
that have marked the anniversary of
the royal assassination. The men re-
sponsible for that crime, the men who
actually committed it, have not been
punished At least zone of them has
been rewarded, and the king can hardly
show his face in the street without be-
ing atfronted and threatened with the
same fate that befell his father. And
yet this boy whose life is not worth
an hour S purchase, whose royal dlgnl-
ties are mere m0ckery and pretense,
can find a princess who is willing to
marry him and so become a poor, pitiful
queen whose only kingdom will be the
fragile unrealities of court etiquette
that NAV be tolerable when the loyalty
of nation is behind it, but that must
surely be urbearable when it has be-
come a mere screen against popular
contempt and dislike.
Princess Beatrice Of Saxe-C0burg is
the Youngest daughter of the late Duke
of Edinburgh and she is therefore King
Edward s niece Was it not the Duke
of Edinburgh who became a naturaliz-
ed German2 In this case the young
lady will not have to ask the consent
of the English king, but it is hardly
likely that this would be refused. seeing
that Princess Victoria was allowed to
marry the King of Spain, who is nearly
as much Of detrimental as his
roya! brother of Portugal. As mat
ter of fact there is very little choice
for the young princesses of today. The
number of Kings is limited, while there
seems To be no limit to the number
of their daughters. Royal ladies of mar
rjageabIe age must take what offers and
without too much regard for the stabil-
atty of the throne that goes with it.

such treatment of destitute patients,
that the District pays one-half OF this
amount, that the surgeon general Of the

that he has not asked and does not want

NEW YORK. Augut c5.-When Fred

ploy of the Otis Elevator Company Of
Yonkers, suddenly fell beneath desk at
which he had been standing yesterday.
those who thought he had tainted and
had run to aid him found to their amaze
ment that both his legs were broken.
At St Johns Hospital in Yonkers his
was said to be one of those rare cases
in which persons limbs are snapped
like toothpicks by the mere contraction
Of the muscles.
Stockholm. who is giant in stature,
was looking over some plans on the high
desk and was leaning heavily on the
right hand The hand slipped off the
edge of the desk, and in making sud-
den movement to regain his balance, the
man came down heavily on his feet, the
muscular strain breaking both right and
left femurs-the former a few inches
above the knee and the latter close to
the hip.
Stockholm is sixty-five years old, but
was reported to be doing fairly well last
night. The attending physician said it
was one of the most unusual and inter-
esting cases he had ever observed.
