OWLS HAVE A
H00TIMG TINE

J. T. ONO was hooted, heartily
hooted. last night when he began
to tell how he'd build the Monroe
street bridge when he becomes
mayor of Spokane, but then, that
can't be taken seriously against
him, for he was in hooting crowd
he was up evidently very late,
making a spiel to the Brotherhood
of Owls L. C. Brown was fined
81 with trimmings for telling a
stale joke on ONO. The punish
ment was inflicted by Bart Cava-
naugh,. but l.. c.. got his moneys
worth of fun out of it, and all at
the expense of the Judge" He
aspired to the judgeship like he
aspired to councilmanic fame-and
won, then he soaked Cavanaugh
and DR.. Grieve. Captain Koontz
was feathered magistrate for a
while, too, and made hooting sue
cess of it. He soaked every one
who was put before him.
The biggest joke on all but one
of them, though, was one they per-
petrated on hemselves-unwit-
tingly, of course. They banded to-
gether in . deep, dark plot against
Mr. Sway, a First avenue mer-
chant. Sway was elected to the
chair and while he wildly raped
for order, they all walked out,
about 1919 of them, for Grand Sec
rotary Owens said there were 200
there. They thought Sway would
get sore and walk out, too, then
they'd fine him about IS, but
Sway is wise old owl. He stuck.
They all had to come back to get
smoke, and the joke was on
them.
This was all a part of the
smoker given by the Brotherhood
of Owls in the lower Pacific halls.
They had speeches by Grand Ex-
ecutive Gleason, a wrestling match
by two of the Zouaves' club mem
bers, funny cartoons by Professor
Stage, buck and wing and clog
dancing by Bouleys' dancing acad-
envy pupils and refreshments by
themselves together. They will
initiate large class next Wednes-
day night and have dinner from 6
till 1880 In their halls, and on April
13 will give their first annual
masked ball at the Elks' temple.

DOCTORS BILLS
HUNG Up

A bill for $50 for automobile hire
and $40 for expenses of two mem
bers of the board to meeting at
Seattle have been presented by the
health board to the city and are
hung up between teh city council
and the auditing committee.
The automobile bill was con-
tracted Feb. 5 for the hire of two
machines tire eand one-half hours
in trip to the waterworks plant.
The Seattle trip was made by Drs.
Grieve and Baker for the purpose
of attending a gathering of the
health officers of the state.
The auditing committee referred
the bills to the finance committee
without their approval and now the
finance committee has referred the
matter back to the auditing COM
mittee to accept or reject the bills.

GRADE
QUESTION

Protest against the reestablish-
ment of the grades in Dennis &
Bradley's addition, just across the
first Olive street bridge, is being
seriously considered by the resi-
dents and with Attorney John P.
Stanford, sol Rookery block, acting
as chairman, the matter was taken
up last night. According to profiles
prepared by the city engineer, it is
understood that a reestablishment
of the grades will cost about $4,000
and will leave every dwelling far
below the street level but on the
other hand will make business
property of practically every lot in
the addition which so far has been
considered only a residence district
by most of the owners
In addition to this expense of re-
establishing the grades, raising
them from four to seven feet above
their present elevation, 1t Is figured
that the owners will be put to a
disbursement of another $4,000
and perhaps more to bring their
lots to a street level. If this is
done, 1t is declared by those favor
ing the establishment plan, that
the property will be worth about
$3.50 per front foot, where now they
are valued at about $4,000 per lot
(40 foot lots).

SOUNDED LIKE
WOMAN FIGHT

j. r. Lambly, who swore out a
warrant for the arrest of M. r.
Bowman, for threatening him with
great bodily harm, will now be
charged with a similar offense and
he and Bowman will likely both be
placed under bonds to keep the
peace. The case was ontinued till
tomorrow by Judge Mann this after
noon, that complaint may be filed
against Lambly.- Only a small part
of the Bowman-Lambly troubles
were aired today and that part
sounded like a woman's row.

FIRST LOVE WINS HER
fQN United Pressl

GREELEY, Colo, April In a
marriage license issued to Miss
Bessie Worley, age 20, and Guy ].
Hepwell, a business man of Red
Oak, Iowa, age 20, is revealed the
object of a hurried journey of the
Iowa man to Greeley.
When Miss Worley left Iowa a
year ago it was as the intended
bride of Hepwell but misunder-
standing arose and the engagement
was broken. Several months ago
the young woman reluctantly gave
her consent to marry popular
Greeley man, and the wedding was
to have taken place last Tuesday.
AS the day drew near the bride re-
allied that her affections were with

every subject under the sun. Mat
rlmony, art, war, science, simplified
spelling, In-God- We-Trust on the
coins, the raising of babies and the
raising of diversified trouble. were
all meat for the something-doing-
every-minute president, and he kept
the world busy thinking and talking
about him for seven and half
years. Presidential messages were
the longest on record as well as the
most numerous under the Roose-
welt regime, and If present indica-
tions may be taken as a promise
for the future, those of the present
administration will be the shortest
and most seldom. The only one
that has been sent to congress by
Taft, thus far, was that sent to the
opening of the present extraordi-
nary session of congress. 1t con-
tanned just $40 words.
Roosevelt "butted" into every
line of human endeavor; Taft is
not inclined to worry with prob
lens that do not concern him or
his work.
Roosevelt gloried in fierce physi-
cal exercise, whether with the box
ing gloves, single sticks, horses or
tennis racquets; Taft rides a little
to keep down his flesh and plays an
occasional game of golf to make
his blood flow freely.
Roosevelt selected certain admin
istration newspapers in which he
put out 'feelers" to test the pulse
of the country: Taft treats all
newspaper men alike and does not
play favorites."
Roosevelt preached against race
suicide" and praised the fathers
and mothers of large families as
the most desirable citizens; Taft
believes that there is something
better than the mere numerical
propagation OF the race, and not
very long ago emphasized his views
by pointing out the good that "old
maids" may accomplish I'm the
world
But. after all, both are great big,
able-bodied, full-blooded. virile
Americans. Each handles the prob
lens before him In his own way.

FEDERATED
REPLY TO
CHALLENGE

There is no debate with the Fed
Grated clubs on the saloon ques-
ton, according to the answer sent
by A. G. Gray, secretary of the or
ganization, to Louis B. Meyers of
the Civic Reform league, who
charged the Federated clubs with
aligning themselves on the side of
the saloon. The answer to the
challenge follows:
Mr.. Louis l.. Meyes-Dear Sir:
Yours of the 31st is at hand and
contents duly noted. The following
resolution was unanimously
adopted at a regular meeting of
the executive committee of the
Federated Mems clubs, on March
16:
Whereas, The legislature of our
state has passed a local option law,
and while it is not all We desire,
still it is better than none, and,
Whereas, We believe the saloon
seriously affects the economic,
moral and political well being of
every community, and,
Whereas, We believe the saloon
is an unmixed evil, and favor it's
abolition, and,
Whereas, We believe the people
should settle the saloon question
on its merits, and separate and dis
tinct fro other considerations,
therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, AS the sense of
this meeting, that the executive
board of delegates of the FEEDER
ated Mems clubs favor holding a
special election to decide upon the
abolition of the saloon in Spokane
as soon after the law goes into
effect as it can reasonably be done,
and we pledge ourselves to circu-
late the necessary petitions to
place the question before the
people.
The above resolution so clearly
defines the principle and attitude
of the Federated clubs upon the sa-
loon question, that in our opinion,
1t leaves no room or occasion for
debate. We are glad to submit its
merit to the public in comparison
with any other plan which has
been or may be proposed.
We should be pleased to be in
formed as to the principles and
policy of the Civic Reform league
on this important question.
Trusting you will be able to CO.
operate with us in the the cause of
civic betterment, we are, Very
truly yours, A. G. Gray, Secretary
of the Federated Mems Clubs.
