SHER|FF'S FEES
Resolution is Introduced to Cut Pay
for Boarding Prisoners to
80 Cents Day.
MAY HAVE NO PROFIT
Action is Deferred by Supervisors and
Entire Change in System is
Suggested.

The prospects are that Rock Island
will follow the lead of the civic asso-
citation in Chicago in investigating the
status Of the sheriff as relates to the
cost of boarding prisoners in the coun-
ty Jail The indications are that action
will be taken at the session of the
board of supervisors which opened this
afternoon.
Supervisor e. V. Ramser introduced
resolution that the fee of the sheriff
be cut to 30 cents day, but this was
laid over till tomorrow afternoon I'M
der the rules. Supervisor Oswald, in
requesting that action be deferred. in
timated that he would suggest a prop
osition whereby the fee of the sheriff
would be done away with, and the
feeding OF prisoners be placed on an
entirely new basis, in conformity to
the law.
Text of Resolution.
The resolution of Supervisor Ramser
is as follows
Whereas In view of the present
financial condition of the county It Is
eXpedient that every possible step be
taken with view to economy. and
as the sheriff of this county is now
allowed a sum for the board of pris-
oners far in excess of the actual cost
of feeding them; and
Whereas, The sheriff is allowed Z
salary for the performance of the
duties of his Office. and the law does
MOI contemplate that prisoners held
i'm custody should be fed for a profit
either to the county or any of its Off
GERS.
BE 1t Resolved. That from and af-
ter March 10. 1909, that the sheriff Of
this county be allowed the sum Of 80
cents per day for feeding each pris-
oner, instead of 40 cents as hereto
fore"
1t will be remembered that in re.
porting on the Cook county Jail. il
was brought out that the sheriff can
not legally collect fees for more than
the actual cost of the provisions for
the Jail
Bridge Resolution.
The clerk read the resolution OF

FINISHING TOUCHES GIVEN TO
BIG SEATTLE EXPOSITION
SEVEN AND ONE-HALF MILES
OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT.

Seattle, WASH, March 31.-Twenty
one hundred men are hard at work
putting the finishing touches on the
buildings and grounds of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition. OF this
number IS are engaged on the group
of buildings under construction by the
United States Government and the re-
mainder upon such of the state build
ings as are now finished and upon the
elaborate scheme of landscape garden
ing which is now down to it's last de-
tails.
Another regiment of workers is
busy inside the exposition struc-
lures installing exhibits from every
country under the sun. The Alas
ka exhibit will have been fully placed
by April Is. The Alaska and Philip
pines buildings were the first COM
pleted. and an excellent idea of the
marvellous exhibit of the Northland
is already to be had. The Philip
pine exhibit is not yet in the city,
but is close to the port on two gov
eminent transports.
The Hawaiian buildings are COM
plete, save some of its ornamental
lions of plaster staff and May 1 will
see the exhibit in place with the ex-
ception of the pineapple fields which
will not be planted until the elev-
enth hour The Government aqua
rum Is another on the completed list.
it's interior is rapidly being made
ready for its exhibit of live food
fishes.
Nearly all of the staff work re-
mains to be done upon the central
government building, but as all of
the heavy construction is done and
the staff goes on quickly under, un-
der skilled hands, everything will
have been finished by the middle OF
April The exhibits will be ready for
installation at that time as they are
now enroute from the national capt.
toll.
The seven and one-half miles of
asphalt paving has been completed
for a fortnight and the electric In
stallation was finished with the cree
ton of the thousands Of ornamental
ground lights.
The Director of Works announces
that, at the present rate of progress
i the exposition will be a completed
product by May 1, with the possible
exception of a few touches on the
"Pay Streak" which will not carry
beyond May Is at the latest.

ton.
Governor Cosgrove was not poll
'tician-rather he was a statesman.
1t is burning shame that we do not
have more of the strong men who
take an active part in politics. 1t is
burning shame that more of our
able attorneys, our strong business
men, do not assume more of an ini-
tiative in matters pertaining to their
country's welfare.
"The world needs more men OF
the Cosgrove stamp. Cosgrove was
a man of integrity. 1t is told that
at one time-in 1894, I believe-that
he could have secured the nomina-
ton for governor If he would have
consented to turn down a friend.
"Cosgrove was a man of piety. He
was a member of the Methodist
church, joining that organization
when he was Is years of age"
The speaker then discussed the
lives of men who had fallen short OF
one of the prime requisites OF true
manhood by lacking in religious prin-
ciple.

the best OF its kind that has been
delivered in Wenatchee for some time.

PREPARE An ORDINANCE RE-
PEAUNC PRESENT uQU0RLAW
Council Also Ordered License Money
Refunded to Saloon Men for Unused
Portion After June 1---Wenatchee
Band Again Employed for Weekly
Concerts in the City Park.

That the city council means bust
ness in making Wenatchee a "dry"
city, was evidenced by the action of
the lawmaking body last night. The
city attorney was instructed to pre-
pare an ordinance repeating the pres
ent liquor laws and prohibiting the
the corporate limits after the first
day of June. The city clerk was
also instructed to issue warrants for
the unused term of the licenses and
remit these to the various saloonmen
of the city. The action of the coun-
Gil plainly indicates the determina-
tion to do away with the liquor bust
ness in this city The action of the
council last night was unanimous in
this respect.
Another matter was decided upon
last night which will give satisfaction
to the public generally, that is the
employing of the Wenatchee band
for a once-a-week concert in the city
park For the past three seasons the
city has paid the band $50 per month
for the concerts, one a week, and the
citizens generally will consider this
money we'll spent.
Henry Spruck petitioped the coun-
Gil TO allow the running of a pipe line
to connect with the Gum ditch and
run to his place on the east side of
Wenatchee avenue. The matter was
referred to the water committee.
The wrangle between the city and
the county as to the care of the pau
per is to be brought to head at
