Figures complied by Chairman F.
X. McBroom of the present board
show that the health office ex

poor farm expenses reduced almost
the same proportion. while the
courthouse repair bill for 1908 was
just 10 times that of 1909.
1t cost approximately $4,000 to
run the poor farm last year. while
the total expenditure for the past
six months total only $5704.90, an
average of less than $4,000 a year
Exactly $4,000 was saved in the
health office during the past six
months, which means yearly saw.

thought there was any danger Of
attack, as intimated in a threaten

Chicago. The volunteer guards-
men also agreed to furnish two
men to act az a body guard for the
police justice during the daytime.
Judge Mann declined the proffer-

his chances. After consulting with
a number Of his friends today
Judge Mann has concluded to take
the note from Chicago seriously
and take steps to protect himself.
The note reads like some others Of
the same character that have is
sued from that quarter in times OF
trouble in the past. and on the adj
vice OF his friends Judge Mann
deemed that 1t Is best to heed the
warning and take steps for his own

W mas shopping?" in
quired Mrs. Dresswell as they
met in one of Spokane's de-
partment store.
Yes, indeed; I've nearly fin
ished with all my shopping. l
began early this year. You
know, I've always waited until
Christmas week and, really,
I've never been just satisfied
with my purchases made in
such haste. Just to think! All
my mailed packages were
started last Saturday! l feel
SO relieved. And all that hur-
ry, hustle and disorder that
we usually have Christmas
week will be wholly eliminated
this year.
This is the whole trend of
the Christmas shopping for
1909 In Spokane. The manager
Of the store with the white
front said 1t was a most I'M
usual thing.
The store was crowded all
last week and Saturday was a
day of immense trade. OF
course the country folk were
in then. They are also realiz-
ing the value of early shopping.
1T is only the person with
the weeks salary to spend for
holiday gifts who puts off buy
ing until the last moment. The
one with the bank book has her
shopping nearly done, and
there's still nearly two whole
weeks before Christmas"
In another of the stores they
have a gentle reminder to Gus
toners of the nearing day in
the form of big clock-like cir
Gle and the number Of days be-
fore Christmas placed around.
The hand is pointing at
eleven" the manager here
said. land yet it is almost ap-
palling the amount of business
We have done. Last week was
hummer, and Monday broke
all records for big day SO far
from the 25th. We are either
going to have the biggest year
yet or else the shopping is all
being done SO early that next

Some Of the prominent clubs
of women In Spokane have
passed resolutions to do all
their shopping this week and
before S o'clock.

FOR R. A. BALLINCER
Senator Hepburn Concerned Like
Wise--COllier's Sensation.

BY special delivery Golfers
Weekly sent to all the big news.
papers this week another sensa.
tional article on the BaIiinger-cun-
ningham-Alaskan situation. The
article Is printed In afternoon
newspapers throughout the country
today. It cites more sensational
facts concerning the secretary Of
the Interiors interest In the Alas
kan coal lands. In part, the article
follows:
rs there another Alaska con-
spiracy, this time to control the
copper and coal? Will the public,
remembering the past, be satisfied
with star-chamber answers to this
question?
1T is common knowledge
throughout Alaska and the west
generally that the Morgan inter
ests are allied with the Guggen-
helm mining interests, and that the
same financial forces are allied
with the Hill railroad interests.
When Ballinger was nominated and
elected Mayor of Seattle, he was
put forward by the Hill political
managers. ostensibly to put down
certain local evils, but really to put
the Hill forces In control Of local
politics. BaIlinger supported Levi
Ankeny, the railroad candidate who
noteriously Bought his seat in the
United States senate. An impor-
tant detail of Ballinger's record to
remember Ii his grant, as Secre-
tary of the Interior, of the railroad
right of way along the Des Chutes
river in Oregon. Baliinger himself
was an incorporator Of the original
Des Chutes railroad, and was its
vice president and counsel. He Ia
said u have disposed OF his inter.
s est id this road to his partner at
the time of his recent appointment
as secretary Of the interior. In the
confession Of 8. A. ID. Puter. king
OF the Oregon land fraud ring, con.
victed by Heney, Puter charged
that during Ballinger's short term
as commissioner Of the general
land office. Northern Pacific land
patents by the wholesale were is.
