With requisition for fifty ~refrigera-
tor cars in the Chadbourn strawberry
belt yesterday, forty of the number
were loaded yesterday and twenty of
this number were moved by last
nights trains, being the heaviest
movement Of any day since the berry
season opened a week ago.
Reports from the trucking belt are
to the effect that the weather is fine
and the berries are ripening fast and
are of fin quality with the outlook
that the end of the week will witness
a volume of shipment of perhaps 100
cars per day. There was requisition
yesterday for two cars on the Will
mington and Weldon road, one of
which was placed at Rocky Point, and
within a few days the movement from
this section is expected to be large.

DICK ABLE To
DIG THE PRICE

Senator r. A. Hutchinson formal
ly entered the race for the mayor
atty on the republican ticket this
morning shortly before noon, when
he filed his declaration and de-
posted $50 with City Clerk Flem-
ming. The operation was painless,
nobody asked him where he got it
and Hutchinson left with the re-
mark that he was in the race to
win and would carry off the nomin-
alton.
He enters the race on a platform
for law enforcement and takes the
position that all laws not in con-
formity with the wishes of the
people should be repealed or they
may expect him to see that they
are enforced.
The entrance of Hutchinson
makes it a three cornered bout at
present, with J. T. ONO and j
Grant Hinkle as the other con-
testants. According to rumors
around the city there will be at
least two more men in the field,
one of whom will receive the back
ing of the Municipal league, which
so far has kept out of the contest,

with the results. Yesterday was
the best day on record, and the
exhibits were centers of admira-
ton. Today the big event at the
show is the bread baking contest,
and there are number of entries.
The chief interest yesterday was
conferred in the pure food council,
held at the ArmOry under the aus
pices of the Women's Federated
clubs. Professor Fulmer of the
Washington State college was the
principal speaker. He emphasized
the fact that the pure food prob
lem would be solved If the house
wife stood her ground and de-
manded the pure food label on her
supplies.
Dr. w. l.. Hall, president of the
board of health, pointed out step
by step what had been done by the
city to enforce, pure food laws and
to secure the passage of ordi-
nances to cover cases not touched
by law. He also dwelt at some
length on the aims and ambitions
of the board to secure pure food
for the city. State Food Inspector
Davies also spoke before the coun-
Gil. and briefly outlined the state
and national laws governing pure
foods.

BAD MEAT
BY TONS

That tons of meat unfit to eat
are bein gshipped into Spokane by
farmers is the claim of City In
spector Otto Bittrick, who has
caused a letter to be addressed to
the division superintendent of
the railroads running into Spokane
requesting them to instruct their
agents to refuse all shipments of
dressed meat unless it is securely
protected from dirt.
The letter suggests that all meat
be wrapped in gunnysacks or some
other cloth in order to insure that
it will be clean when it reaches
it's destination. In case this pre-
caution is not taken quantity of
the meat so received will probably
be condemned before it reaches the
consumer.

to have represented that the hay

HIGH SCHOOL BALL
GROUNDS NECESSARY

The Washington Water Power
will not make a bid for the foot
ball games at Natatorium park this
fall. That the grounds may even
tuaily be secured is possible, but
not probable.
The reason for this is that the
company has found football I'M
profitable in the past. The cost of
keeping up the grounds, installing
the water and the wear and tear
on the grounds is considerable.
Probably the high schools will
find an immediate necessity of Sc
curing athletic grounds, a matter

MEN WHO VOTE
MAY GET A
JOB NOW

Oh. yes. The contractors of the
city are going to begin employing
tax payers and property owners
instead of the Italians and the
Greeks who have no more interest
in the city and the welfare of the
country than so much per day or
per week Sure.
These poor, hard working men
who have perhaps denied them
selves some of the necessities of
life that they might protect their
homes from sheriff's sale or keep
up the installments while they are
out of employment are now to
take the places of the swarthy for
eigners on the work that should
have been theirs all along.
Various contractors August
Use, J. S. Huetter, Mitchell
Brothers, some departments of the
Spokane Traction Co., and others
of this prosperous city realize the
paridity with which election day
is approaching. It's little good that
the Italians and Greeks who they
have paid sometimes as high as
$500 a day to take the place of
American property owners, tax
payers and fathers of families,
who have the adulterated nerve to
demand 1915 per day, as provided
in all city contracts, can do them
at the polls. So right now, with
the approaching election, when
perhaps some of their candidates
would be defeated without the
support of qualified voters, it is
natural that the foxy old contrac-
tors will go out with relaxing peck
ct book, broad sweet smiles and
glad hand to take in the suffering
laboring men of the city.
However, they have waited too
long with this ruse. Hundreds of
the common laboring property
owners have got their eyes open
ed through this long, hard winters
They are not likely to forget that
while hundreds of them walked up
and down the streets of the city
emploring the contractors for en-
ployment that was being done by
Italians and Greeks, their wives
were compelled to work in fac
tories and laundries to support the
families. In the last three weeks
]. B. Miller, nursery solicitor
residing at 2117 Sharp avenue, has

any extent because they could get
ma work. The places of many of
these men were filled by the alien
classes.

PUBLISHERS To
GET PAY
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. ia glad and
joyful cry will 60 up from the
country newspapers of the state
when they receive news that Act
ing Governor Hay his signed senate
bill 124.
That bill will enable many a
country publisher to settle with the
grocer and pay for the last ship
ment of news print.
1t means many hundreds of dol
lars distributed to all parts of the
state where the newspaper owners
have been waiting with more or
less Impotence since last August.
Since that time these publishers
have been lending their credit to
the state-and because of this
credit the state has profited prob
ably a million dollars-but the
newspaper men will get no interest
and little credit for their services.
The immense demand for pur-
chase of state lands in recent years
used up all of the funds appropri-
ated in 1907 for advertising the
sales. K. w. Ross, state land com
missioner, wrote to the publishers
and pointed out he could not pay
cash, but if the owners of the pa
pers would wait until this legisla-
ture mite it would enable the state
to proceed with its land sales.
The publishers agreed to this,
and since last summer have been
doing the advertising without re-
ceiving any money, AS result of
the advertising the state sold prob
ably more than a million dollars
worth of lands, brining in large
sums to the treasury and furnish
ing homes for newcomers.
Now the publishers get their
money, for their claims are in
cluded in the $4,000 appropriated
by this bill
And they do not get a cent in
terest, for the law will not permit
any to be paid.
But the country editors are &C
customed to that kind of treatment.
