One rather peculiar fact In strik-

that the Our Lady of Lourdes

EASY ROUTE
FOR S, ?. & s:

1t is now believed that the Spo-
kane, Portland e Seattle railway
will in the near future pass this
city to the south. 1t is claimed by
railroad men who are informed
that a new route has been discov-
cred to the coast by engineers in
the employ of the Hill railways
which will give this road a new
grade to the west from Missoula
of about one fourth of one per
cent. The easy grades obtained by
the Milwaukee and the railway
competition likely to come from
that quarter has compelled the Hill
interests to seek easier grades to
the Pacific.
Until some other arrangement is
made the S. P. & S. will use the
main line of the Great Northern
through this city. Connection will
soon be made through Greenwood
cemetery of the S. p. & s. and the
Great Northern and all through
freight over the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern will be sent
from here over that route.
Under this arrangement it wifi
not be necessary for the Hill in
terests to elevate the tracks of the
Northern Pacific through this city.

HANG THE
PROFESSOR
(By United Press)

TACOMA, May 3.-Unrest and
dissatisfaction with the administra-
ton of President b. III. KroeZe OF
Whitworth college, for several
months manifested itself in a
startling form today when Kroeze
was hanged in effigy from the flag
staff on the cupola of the Mason
library. A placard, readable for
blocks. bearing b. H. kroeze." was
attached to ii. The stuffed figure
was suspended last night. and or
dered down this afternoon.
On Friday night huge sign was
posted on the Stevens street side
of the library, reading: Drink to
one who is not man enough to re-
sign, b. II. Kroeze."
Hostility against Kroeze is of
long standing. Dissatisfaction with
his methods of discipline resulted
in a petition being presented to the
board OF trustees at the last meet
ing asking that Dean Mckay be
given part of the powers now at
tached to the presidency. Members
of the faculty confess they are in
the dark as TO what will be done
by the board.

STORM OF ISLANDER
PROVES BOOMERANG.
ONO Stronger Day Before Election Than
at Any Time in City Campaign.

ONO is riding on the crest of a
strong wave of popular favor. For
the last 10 days the tide has been
running strongly toward him, and
unquestioned indications point to
his success at the polls tomorrow.
Scores of the republicans who
announced their hostility to the
head of the ticket soon after the
primaries have got back into line
When D. T. Ham, E. F. Waggoner,
e. F. c. Van Dissell, Frank T.
Post, w. ]. G. Wakefield, F. r. Gull
bertson and other prominent repub-
licans put their shoulders to the
wheel after the primaries 1t caused
many republicans to stop and
think. When the challenge to show
up anything in Omo's career that
would reflect on his honesty was
made and left unanswered that
caused the hesitation to be still
greater, and the tide began to turn.
One after another of the republi-
cans quoted in the Cowles papers
have gone to Omo's headquarters
and announced that they had acted
too hastily; that they had learned
more about Mr.. ONO and grew to
respect him and would support him
at the polls.
The storm of unsubstantiated
and slanderous statement depend
ed upon to defeat ONO has &C.
quired boomerang velocity.
The democratic detection from
Pratt has been growing steadily un-
til today one of the democratic
candidates for councilmen esti-
mated that Pratt will not receive
one third of the democratic vote.
Others say that Pratt will not re-
ceive half of the democratic
strength, but 1t is conceded gener-
ally that the democratic detection
is the more serious element of I'M
certainty to be faced by Pratt.
ONO will go into the election to-
morrow with solidified party or
ganization, as the republicans are

SOME PRATT
SERVICES"

Mr.. Pratt was on the city coun-
ell when the matter of the building
Of the concrete bridge at Washing
ton street was up for considera-
ton. To his efforts can largely be
attributed the failure of the city to
secure from the Spokane Traction
Co. its share of the cost of build
ing the Washington street bridge.
This bridge cost the city over
$150,000, of which the Spokane
Traction Co. should have paid one
third, yet the city, thanks to Mr..
Pratt's kind Offices in behalf of the
Traction Co.. has not received one
dollar on the cost of the bridge
from the Graves line.

for him with but few exceptions.
Most of the oldtime democratic
workers have deserted the STAN
dard of Pratt, leaving new and un-
skilled recruits at the helm. ONO
will get the lions share of the Ia
Dor vote, a large percentage of the
business vote, leaving tine Review
and few of its interview-loving
coterie the chief following behind
Pratt's campaign.
All of which leads the disinter-

clusion-that the cards point to the
election Of ONO.
Conditions have greatly inn

Mr.. ONO today, "and l look for my
