The lumber schedule of the tariff
bill is slated for material modifica-
ton before the bill passes the SEN
| ate. The Pacific Coast senators con-
tend that the house duty on rough
| lumber is too low and they are sup
porting the retention of the present
rate Of 81 1000 feet An effort is
being made to compromise on so
per 1000 feet for rough lumber and
small differential on dressed lum-
Der. On the latter So per 1000 feet
has been suggested.
1t is expected that after the vote
has been taken on the question o.
putting lumber on the free list no
further action will be taken until
the committee has again considered
the subject with a view to harmon
izing the differences between the
free lumber advocates and those who
are demanding protection.
1t is stated upon high authority
that a poll of the senate shows an
overwhelming sentiment against
placing lumber on the free list.

POLICE ATTACK THE
new PHARMACY Law
Misdemeanor to Sell Liquor in Drug Stores Sunday
Druggists to Fight Ordinance.

An ordinance was Introduced In
the city council last night which
seeks to set aside phase Of the
new pharmacy law passed by the
last legislature. The ordinance was
prepared by the corporation coun'
sers ofl,ce at the request Of the
police department., and for time
there was silence In the city coun.
Gil when Clerk Fleming announced
that it would be necessary for some
one to father it. Finally Council
man Peter Nelson agreed to act as
sponsor for the measure, and it was
started on its course.
The new ordinance makes it a
misdemeanor to sell liquor on Sun
day in drug store except on the
prescription of licensed physician
which prescription must be filed by
the druggist for reference at any
time by the police department OF
the city. Wine for sacramento
purposes can be sold when the pur
chaser is known to be minister OF
the gospel or the duly authorized
agent of one. A penalty of fine
of $25 to 500 is provided, to which

may be added Imprisonment in the

may be added imprisonment in the
city Jail not to exceed 80 days.
The, new pharmacy law permits a
druggist to sell liquor on Sunday
without prescription, the only re-
quirement being that the purchaser
announce that it is for medical pun
poses and sign the record in the
office of the druggist to this effect.
This is squarely In conflict with
the ordinance introduced last night,
In the recent trial of Clizer, pro.
prietor of the Red Cross pharmacy
on North Monroe street, for a sale
of liquor under this new state law,
he was found guilty by Judge Mann
under an ordinance prohibiting the
sale of liquor on Sunday. = he new
ordinance introduced last night is
intended to give the police depart,
ment better control of the drug
gists in this particular.
Arrangements had been made tC
appeal the Clizer case, and a fund
had been started among the drug
gists to carry it to the supreme
court, but through lack of inter
est the appeal was dropped.

TO ISSUE 100000 BONDS
FOR WATER PLANT ADDITION

An ordinance was passed by the
city council last night providing for
the issuance of 100000 of four per
cent % year bonds to furnish rev.
enue to start the work on the addi-
tons to the water plant just order
ed. The bonds will bear the date
of September 1 and must be sold
for at least par and the accrued in
terest.
The ordinance provides that the
work of the water extensions can
be financed by the means of war
rants until the bonds are sold, as
two months for advertising must
elapse before the sale can be made
No election will be necessary on
this bond issue, as the council has
tie right to order it without an
election.

yesterday afternoon. He would not

low the delegates the privilege of
questioning him-according to the
rules Of the congress and a privi-
lege that every other speaker in
the history Of the congress has

George Chamberlain, now senator
from Oregon, quizzed Hartman at

gets started he usually asks some
pointed questions and there were a
lot of things the delegate wanted
to know. f h+e

of conversation among the dele

why Ballinger did not stay, and it
Is likely that Ballinger will feel the
effects of it in resolutions to be
introduced later. Since he would
not stay long enough to allow the
delegates to question him as to the
water power grab in Montana, he
will probably be called upon by
resolution to explain.

SHARP TILT over
HOW WATER PLANT
SHOULD BE BUILT

A sharp tilt as to whether the
various additions to the water plant
ordered by the city council should
be built by day labor or by con-
tract took place in the city coun-
Gil last night.
When Water Commissioner Arvid
Reuterdahl, the supervising engt
neer in charge of the work, took
the floor for the contract system
the issue was soon solved by the
adoption of a resolution that the
work proceed by contract.
Commissioner Reuterdahl said
that time was the big element In
this improvement and that while he
was a friend of labor and the day
labor idea, he had drawn the
plans with a view of having it done
by contract. To purchase equip
ment to do this work by day labor
would mean the outlay of $4,000
to $4,000, and he had not included
this expense in his estimate.
1.-The situation demands immedi-
ate action il we are to have the
water extensions in shape to give
us relief next year." said Commits.
sioner Reuterdahl. 1T requires
time to prepare an organization
capable of handling this work by
day labor and l will venture to say
that If we undertake to make the
betterments on the day labor plan
1t will require two years to carry II
out.
1.-The water shortage needs i'm
mediate action, and my idea is to
have the different jobs advertised
for bids just as soon as the plans
are drawn, and bind the contractors
up to have the work finished on
time, under a heavy penalty. Were
there but one or two different jobs
to be taken care of, and time was
no element, would favor day labor
but with six or more big improve
ments to carried out it is too large
an undertaking to be entered upon
J by the day labor plan and expect
to get the work completed in time
to prevent a water shortage again
next year"
"A resolution introduced by Lam
bert was adopted ordering the
board of works to proceed under
the contract plan and that steps
should be taken to see that the con
tractors who get the work pay the

only one you should consider in

You should first consider where
you will buy because there are so
many pianos manufactured, some
good and some bad, that you need
the protection of responsible,

Our house offers in the way of
protection a reputation of 10 years
standing in Spokane and the north
west; the purchasing power of a

every important city in western
America under a combined capital

if the piano is not satisfactory, we
will take it back.
In addition to this, our line rep

pianos as Chickering, Steck, Kim

Seattle Girl Will Brave

She Marries a Missionary
in Mexico.
(By United Press.)

SEATTLE, Aug. 12.-Love is a
wonderful urchin. He not only
strikes his victims at queer times
and places, but he can endow them
with physical prowess- which they
never before possessed.
The frail he makes strong, and
the brave he causes to tremble at a
glance. In fact, he must get an
immense amount of enjoyment out
of the metamorphoses he produces
in mortals.
When a woman happens to be
the victim of this Grant urchin, no
matter how frail and timid she may
be, love makes her willing to brave
any and all dangers.
Quietly Married.
There was a quiet marriage last
week at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Culbertson, in Green Lake, and
Miss Matte Culbertson became the
bride of Rev. Fred J. Smith. Fol-
lowing the ceremony, plans were
made for the couple to make their
home in Progresso, Yucatan, Mex
leo. They will sail on the 18th for
the southland, and their many
friends have been wishing them
"godspeed." Few realize, however,
what this trip means.
Love has made Mrs. Smith very
brave, for she is willing to face
the dangers of this heated portion
of Mexico, this one spot above all
others where, despite the work of
the Mexican government, yellow
fever continues to thrive and flour
ish like the bay tree"
