Hypolite Savoie, and at the same time
express my true appreciation Of my
experience with your company, and
particularly the privileges and liberal
terms Of the policy which made it at
all possible for his widow to en-
joy the benefit Of the same. Mr.. Sa-
vote was not financially able to meet
his premiums, which fell due last
June and July respectively. Howev-
er. to keep his policies from lapsing,
you were kind enough to arrange a

which made it possible for him to keep
his insurance in force up to the time
of his death. 1t is equasly true that in

fence in life insurance, as developed
with the New York Life Insurance
has been a very gratifying
one.
In conclusion, let me add that. in my
opinion, this is REAL life insurance,
the collection of which involved no
delay, no lawyers, or any cost to the

TO Win
Oregon Republicans Ask
ing Chamberlain to
Resign.

SALEM, Ore, Jan. Expeditions
asking Chamberlain to promise to
resign after his election as United
States senator are being circulated
among the legislators by a steer
ing committee.
The petitions are in direct vio-
lation of the corrupt practice law
enacted at the general election in
June. 1t is rumored some state
ment men have signed petitions,
but it is said their idea is simply
to suggest to Chamberlain he
ought to resign.
Petitions for caucus on the
senatorship are being circulated
by opponents to Chamberlain s
election. These petitions urge all
republicans in the legislature to
stand together for the election of
a republican senator, declaring it
for the best interests of the party
to break away from the statement
No. / majority and elect senator
irrespective of the pledge.
So far few signatures have been
secured, and these by those I'M
pledged. 1t is not believed the
majority of members who took the
republican voters choice pledge
will sign the caucus call or be
bound by it's action unless it should
be decided in caucus that the re-
publicans will vote for H. M.
Cake.

SLIDING BRIDGE DEAL
THROUGH THE COUNCIL
Way Well Creased to Save W. w. P. Co.
Any Possible Liability.

Whether the city is to pay off it's
water warrants first or build the
Monroe street bridge first Is a ques-
ton which will likely provoke as
hot round of fighting among coun-
Gil members as anything in the
past.
Last night Councilman Baldwin
offered a resolution that the cor
poration counsel be instructed to
draft an ordinance bonding the city
for 100000 with which to take up
water extension warrants. These
warrants draw 6 per cent interest
while the bonds could be sold for
not more than four, and the city
would have ready cash.
No sooner had Councilman Bald
wins resolution passed than Coun-
Gilman Dalke offered a resolution
that the city be bonded for 100000
to build the Monroe street bridge
This also passed.
The 100000 in bonds which
were raised for new bridges has
about evaporated. An additional
100000 would mean that 100000
will have been raised to build

LEAVES TINY
BABY

Abandoned and helpless in a
dingy little shack at 242 Ferry
avenue, a wee baby is waiting
while the police all over the city
are searching for it's mother, Matio
Casara, an Italian woman aged Fl
years.
Since walking out of her little
home on Ferry avenue last night
about $50 o'clock, Matio Casara
has not been SEEN Her husband
is alarmed, and her little child
cried for her return. A descrip-
ton of the woman that has been
left with the police states that she
is about five feet tall and rather
slender. She took no other clothes
with her than those she wore.

bridges which q previous council
figured could be built out of $780,
900.
That the question Of taking up
water warrants Is the more serious
one is indicated in q statement
which Mr.. Baldwin made when he
said that the banks now want to
discount water warrants FIVE per
cent.
The substance of the matter ia
that those interested in the new
bridge desire to use the councils
right to bond the city without wait
ing for the spring election. They
want the bridge money at any and
all cost.
And also the forces behind the
building of the Monroe street
bridge, regardless OF whether or
not the w. w. p. Co. pays cent
toward it's construction, are moro
than a little anxious that the propo-
sition be not left to the people.
The w. w. p. Co. appears doubt
full Of getting bridge on its own
proposition without councilmanio
aid. The way to secure this now
appears to be- fairly well creased.

There is strong possibility the
police commissioners will modify
their recent regulation relating TO

councilmen is being brought to
bear with that end In view.

feet 10 inches tall, weight ITO

The most of the applicants,

understood or too old. The custom
in selecting men is for council
men to recommend men from
their ward. So long as there were
no new places the councilmen
recommended men without regard
to number. But they are singing
out their favorites now that places
have been made.
Strong country boys who could
fill all requirements could be
found in plenty, but the police
regulation includes years resi-

YOUNG GIRL HAD
No LOVER

Anna Balkow, the girl aged 16
years. who was brutally beaten
near the intersection of Lincoln
street and the Northern Pacific
tracks last Saturday night, was
evidently so badly stunned from
her injuries that she did not know
what she was telling the police.
She left the residence of c. NJ.
McCauley of the Consumers Ice
& Fuel Co, 1924 Fourth avenue at
Z O'Clock and was attacked and
beaten half hour later. She had
been employed by Mrs. McCauley
and instead of having been on the
way to the theater to be joined by
another girl, she was taking a cou-
pie Of tickets back to the Spokane
theater to have them exchanged
for Sunday night, her employers
being unable to attend Saturday
night.
Miss Balkow certainly was not

wrath. for she never had lover. .
