tine page OF that paper IL describing

out. what IL has accomplished. and
what the people who have tried It for
conclusion he gives the following sum
mary OF results:
The city han is free from politicians
and political influence. The %nonparti-
san nomination and nonpnrtisan cleo
ton put the old political machine in
the junk heap, ana there have been
no city jobs filled by election debts.
only competent men hold the places
and numerous discharges have been
made, showing that the incompetcnts
are released without delay.

lient features OF the Dos Moines plan
are.
The Individual responsibility OF the

the realm OF ward politicians and the
election Of appointive officers upon the
basis Of efficiency and a%daptability,
The referendum OF franchise rights

The opportunity of the people to get
a speedy hearing directly with the

The fashionable parasol this
summer Is to be Japanese thor
oughbred. Thoroughbreds are ex-
pensive. The Japanese parasols
cost from $40 upward.
The new parasol is to have IS
ribs instead of eight, so that the
shape will be entirely changed, and
almost flat. The handles are ex-
tremely long and many of them are
grotesquely decorated with owls
and parrots and even tiny monkeys
carved out of wood.
Sometimes the frames are gilded
and large fluffy chou of chiffon
almost invariably adorns the
handle.
Almost any kind of material is
stylish for the coverings, and two
or three fabrics are often used to-
gether. White linen will be pop
ular.
Moderate priced parasols will
probably have only IL ribs, but the
handles will show the same ex
IRENE length as the more expensive
| models.
Polka dot silk, combined witt
plain silk, and natural colored pom
| gee will be smart coverings for. tn,

apartments for two weeks until her
downfall was accomplished by Phil
lip Levy, the feminine procurer's
companion, then, hurried across the
continent to Spokane. where she
was forced upon the street, to turn
over her earnings to her master
and mistress-such were the atroci-
ties heaped upon Mollie Miller,
young Jewess, according to her
story told in police court yesterday
evening.
Phillip Levy and his companion,
Rosa Smith. alias Levy, were on
trial before Judge Mann, on charge
of living from the earnings of the
woman and were bound over to
the superior court on bonds in the
sum of $4,000 and $4,000 respective
". Abraham Rosenswig, who had
become implicated in the affair
with Levy and the woman, was SEN
fenced to the rock pile for 80 days
and assessed a fine Of 800 and
costs, on city charge of vagrancy.
This will hold him until the cases
of the other two have been tried
out in the superior court and should
the developments of the other two
cases connect Rosenswig with the
white slave case, he may be COM
PEELED to take his medicine on
more serious charge. Likewise the
cases of vagrancy, placed against
Levy and Rosa Smith at the time
of the arrest, were continued till
April % in order that the city may
prosecute them if the state is un-
able to convict them of the serious
charge now confronting them.

the world, she said, after having
given her medicine that ruined her
health and rendered her belfast.
Abraham Rosenswig came to her
rescue, paid her hospital bills and
said he would marry her when she
was well.
While Mollie Miller declared that
she had never met Rosehswig till
one night while passing down the
Spokane streets, weeping because
of her unfortunate condition, Phil

that he had come with the party

The country known as the Inland Empire
could well be likened to an immense bowl, with
the Blue, Bitter Root and Cascade mountains
as the top of the bowl It is a well known fact
that altitude and nearness to the mountain
ranges are the controlling features Of the eli
matte conditions of this country. Most of the
fruit sections of the northwest are located
somewhere on the sides or near the foothills of
these mountains, hence their late crops, for
they get more snow, mud and slush, more
clouds, and the water they use for irrigation
is cold and snow fed.
