SHORTAGE
OF MILK IS
CLAIMED
HOW ABOUT 1T
NOW, MRS. COW?
Growth of Population One
Cause Dealers Dis
agree.

Some Of the dairymen who fur.
nish the city milk supply seem to
think that Spokane is facing a milk
shortage that may almost amount
to a famine. This condition is
ascribed to the growth of popula-
ton, the scarcity of pasturage at
this season of the year and de-
crease in the number of cows that
are being MIXED in and around
Spokane.
A driver for the Sterling dairy
yesterday urged his customers to
be economical in the use of milk
and to get along with as little as
possible for the present for fear
that his supply might give out.
The Pine Creek dairy office says
there is an unusual scarcity of
milk and that they are cutting off
many of their customers. They
say that scarcity of milk occurs
at this time every year., but that
it Is greater than common this
year.
The Broadview reports some
scarcity of milk, but says that IL
is no worse than common at this
season of the year. They place the
blame on short pasturage and the
fact that many of the cows are
dry about this time.
Secretary Allen of the Hazel
wood disagrees with the other
diaries as to the milk situation
and says that there is more milk
in sight now at their plant than
there was at this time last year
He says the condition Of pasturage
is not as bad as it was at this
time last year, and that hay is
cheaper and more plentiful.

BURGLAR WANTED
GIANT POWDER

Giant powder. enough of it In
fact to blow up the whole town
was the coveted prize of some
burglar who broke into the city's
powder house beneath the Monroe
street bridge some time last night
Between 80 and 35 boxes of the
powerful explosive were carted
away by the mysterious pilferer
with the peculiar taste in his thiev.
ing, and the police department has
been asked to help in an effort to
restore the city to its property.
The lock was broken from the
powder house door and Il Is evil
dent that the thier must have
worked several hours In perpetrat
ing the dangerous job. 1t is sur.
missed by some of the older MEM
bers OF the police department that
professional yeggmen stole the
stuff to carry out some safe crack
ing job. They have been unable to
trail the thieves. and their only
chance in recovering the powder
lies in the possibility OF their find
ing 1t hidden.

STOLEN CIGARS
: IN SALOON

Cigars which are declared to
have been taken in the burglary OF
the Opera saloon, together with
several bottles Of champagne, near
ly a month ago. we're located and
seized by the police last night al
the Orpheum bar. They were re
vealed by thorough search of the
place by Detectives Dial, Lister
and McCloud and Patrolmen Nc
Leod and Warner, who went to the
place with q search warrant.
H. P. Leid. the proprietor of the
saloon. and Christopher Mathews
his bartender, were arrested and
released on surety bonds for their
appearance in court to explain the
manner in which they came In pos
session of the stolen goods. 1t Is
the belief of the police that the sa'
loon man purchased the cigars
from the man who stole them,
though they are not yet certain
that he was aware that they were
stolen goods.
All the stuff taken was high
grade goods and amounted to con.
siderable value, there having been
about 5000 cigars taken.
