CHICAGO. ILL Special. Reports

convinced railway officials that a real

increase OF cents an hour. and Of
the fremen on the Western roads for
increases amounting 20 from 20 20 Is

have fled demands for advances
other employees are expected TO join

OF the Bureau Of Railway News and

not afford 20 raise wages now. because
during the period OF depression no
reduction was made from the figure OF

Have You Seen Ii?

We wonder if there is anyone in
town who. has failed to see the cereal
food demonstrations now being car
ried on by The Quaker Oats company
in the local stores. Everyone should
attend at least one of these demonstra
tons and learn some of the interest
ing and appetizing things about such
foods as Quaker Oats, Quaker Pulled
Rice. Quaker Pulled Wheat, etc. The
demonstrators will be here for only
three more days, Thursday, Friday.
and Saturday. Crowds are listening
with interest every day.
If you haven't attended, be sure to
do so. Demonstrations are. given at the

PAVING
IS LEFT OVER
CONTRARY TO EXPECTATIONS. NO
ACTION is TAKEN BY
CITY DADS.
Adjournment Taken Until Thursday
Night When the Matter Will
Come Up Again.

Contrary to all expectations, the city
council last night took no action rela-
tive to the letting of contracts for
street paving, and adjournment was
taken to Thursday night at which time
the contract will probably be let for tho
districts now under consideration.
A communication from Acting Presi-
dent L. F. Anderson and Treausrer
Allen H. Reynolds, of Whitman college.
was read, saying that in behalf of the
college they preferred the Blome Grant
told pavement on Isaacs avenue. AS
other statements from property owners
are expected in the near future, the
communication was laid on the table
until tomorrow evening.
The bid o. the Blome company is
considered by those who are familiar
with their pavement to be worth con-
sidering, and as many property own
ers are disposed to give them a trial
it is probable that they will be award
ed the contract. Those who are in
terested in the letting of a contract for
the Improvement districts now under
contemplation are invited to attend the
meeting Thursday night and express
their views.

The high record in railroad building
on the North American continent this

in western Canada where there is
greater mileage of branch as well as
trunk lines now under construction ard
contract than in any other equal area.
Railway supply interests of Chicago,
confronted with 2 dun year in the
United States and therefore keenly in
terested in furnishing supplies to the
new tranScontinental Canadian lines

the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Cana
dian Northern railways alone VIII
amount this year to nearly 10000
Between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert
on the western coast there are now less
than 800 miles on the Grand Trunk
Pacific not yet under contract. The
construction contracts on this road ag-
gre gate about $10,0O0,000. This state
ment is made on the authority of r. j.
Chamberlain. general manager, and j.
w Stewart contractor. The Cana
dian Northern which is ais" headed fer
the Pacific coast, will expend in new
construction work about S1.O00,000 al

a distance of 1900 miles. The steel mead
is now within 100 miles from Edmonton
and before June will have reached that
city and be on it's way west. The ex-
traordinary influx of settlers to Al

tivity in the building of branch railway
lines which are opening territory hith-
erto remote from rail.

The Spokane school took second
place in the meet last year, but the

which the South Central high school
will have this year is Walla Walla high

they also have Corkrum in the sprints

two should be hot one.
Besides these two men they have

PAVING LEGAL SAYS
ATTORNEY HURSP0OL
In Written Opinion to Council, Assist
ant City Counsellor Says Street
intersection Proposition
Is All Right.

All doubts as to the method adopted
by the city in assessing cost of i'm
proving street intersections to prop
erty owners, were set at rest at last
nights meeting of the city council by
the written opinion of Assistant City
Attorney j. c. Hurspool, who gave the
same in response to request from the
city fathers. Last Saturday the Warren
Construction company, instead of en-
tering bid in response to the cali,
returnable on that date, filed with the
clerk communication in which the
action of assessing intersections to
abutting property was said to be il
legal. On those grounds they refused
to submit bid.
Not wishing to take any chances in
so important matter. and feeling that
they were on the safe side in SO do
Ing, members of the council called for
written opinion from the city attor-
ney, and it was read last night. Fol-
lowing is the ruling of the city at
torney:
In regard to your inquiry relative
to the legality of an assessment for
the Improvement of streets by assess
ing the cost of the improvement of
street intersections to the property
abutting on such streets, instead of
having the city at large pay for the
same, | would say that it would appear
from the charter of the city of Wal
la Walla that the city has power to
assess the cost of the Improvement of
the intersections to the property abut-
ting on such street. 1t would have been
within the power of the legislature to
have provided otherwise; but it has
not done so and it has been held in
number of decisions that the cost
of the street intersections can be as
sessed to the abutting property in the
absence of any statutory or charter re-
strictions. This rule has been an
nounced by the supreme court of this
state in the case of Young VS.. Taco
ma. The same rule is laid down in
Page & Jones on Taxation by AS
sessment, Section 440
1T therefore follows that there is
absolutely no question as to the legal
ity of the method which the city has
adopted"
