was as one big family. At noon the
95 children, ranging in age from
one and a half to IA years, were
served bounteous dinner.
In the evening they were assem-
bled in the kindergarten room,
where they had a beautiful Christ
mas tree loaded with gifts for the
boys and girls.
Through the generosity of some
Spokane women and friends of the
homeless children, each child was
remembered with three or four
presents and many little hearts
were made glad by the realization
of their dreams.

Sentiment of Oppo-
Sition.

Should r. E. GoodaIl, president of
the chamber of commerce, be. re-
elected to office in that organiza-
ton, a number of business men, de-
clared to represent some of the
largest business interests of the
city, will withdraw their support
and membership from that body.
This is in accordance with state
ment made by influential business
men Of Spokane today.
Aside from these, there are
known to be various men of less
influence in Spokane's business
realm who will withdraw their sup.
port because of alleged dissatisfac-
ton with Mr.. Goodall There is a
possibility of the formation of a
new business mems organization,
to be after the fashion of a board
of trade, by this seeding faction of
the present chamber of commerce,
should Goodall be reelected presi-
dent or general manager, such as is
now being proposed by his friends.
Among those most stoutly op-
posed to Mr.. Goodall's reelection
into the chamber of commerce are
generally to be found the fast
friends of Congressman Poindexter.
Gathering little here and Il little
there, it is evident from the atti-
tude of Goodall's opponents that
they are impressed with the belief
that Goodall used his official capa-
city as representative of the Spo-
kane business men in opposing
Poindexter a few months ago; Gre

eradicable enmity between the
congressman and others of the ma
tons prominent politicians.

How Christmas Day Was
Spent at the Children's
Home.
BY PARA DALTON,

Christmas day, the day Of all the
year most treasured In the hearts
OF children, a day when all the peo-
pie Of the universe are in harmony
with each other has come and gone
again. with the same Joy and happy
remembrance as on former occa.
sions,
II Is time when love and good
cheer extends beyond the home
circle when the high and the low,
the rich and the poof, join in one
expression, Peace on earth, good
will toward men,"
Yesterday / called at the new or.
phans' home. and as / entered the
spacious living room, knew by the
blowing OF horns and merry peals
OF childish laughter which greeted
my ears that Santa Claus had been
no. les generous In his distribution
OF his gifts to the fatherless and
motherless little tots than he had
been to those in private homes, who
were fortunate in having the love
and attention Of parental care.
One thing which might have de-
tracted from the novelty of the
Christmas time was the fact that
they did not hang up their stock
tings on Christmas eve. After a
short entertainment at a nearby
church they We're tucked into bed
and did not spend restless, sleep
less night In anxious curiosity,
awaiting the break OF dawn, when
they might get up and search for
the first evidences of the visit of
st. Nicholas.

the "Old Woman Who Lived in a
Shoe" then YOU can imagine the
celebration at the orphanage. II

PARKS
UNION LABOR ENDORSES
THE $1,000, coo PARK
BOND ISSUE.

Union labor is in favor Of
better parks for Spokane. The
Spokane park board may still
get that 100000 bond issue
which was turned down at the
last municipal election. The
labor unions have now ex-
pressed themselves as defin-
iteIy In favor of the bonds.
At the meeting of the central
labor council last nigh treso-
Iutions favorine the issue of the
bonds were passed. The dele
gates to the council expressed
themselves as favorable to the
proposition.
The action was taken upon a
communication and a set of
resolutions sent by the board
to the labor men. After some
discussion the resolutions we're
adopted as they came from the
board.
This is the same question
which came up before the CEN
trial council some months ago.
At that time the unions did not
Sc fit to take hold of the mat
ter actively, although the most
of them we're in favor of better
parks for Spokane.
1t is expected that a special
election will be held to decide
upon the issue Of the bonds.
