THE WILD WEST IS
 BUILDING UP

Kansas City, Mo-, April 21.-The permanence of the building movement is one of the ;ndices of steady and p aggressive business situation that is not overlooked by the financial inter- ests. Despite the lack of enthusiasm over some other lines of activity, the erection of new houses and store, goes on, and the building record is one of the liveliest in the history Q: this city.
 The same report comes from the principal cities of the Southwest; the result. so it is assumed of the pros perity of the farmers. who have been moving to town and have been mak- ing the merchants prosperous through ther spendings.
 Tt is astonishing how many per sons of moderate means" said con- tractor, are planning to erect homes for themselves or for rent. We hay, hundreds of applications for plans on file now and have never had such ac- tivity ir this line. The younger gen. ere,?on is doing a great deal of build. ing; but the investor is also b"sv.

HOUSE

Continued from Fage One.l
Sheldon saw flaw in the bill and
said So 8,
What he wanted to do was to strike
out the words Sin Jail . after the word
Imprisonment in the penalty clause.
Sheldon saw no reason for limiting a
man imprisonment to jail. And
around that point quite a discussion
ragged after the vote had been recon,
sidered. Finally the amendment to
strike out the words was lost
The bill itself is one to make it
a punishable offense to wear the badge
of the G. A. r., $ U. V, or any fra
ternal organization Rice wanted to
enlarge it to include political parties,
reminding the House that occasionally
some sailed under false eolors and wore
misleading badges.
On the second roll call the vote was
again unanimous on the unamended bill.
Maui Unpaid Claims.
Senate Bill a04, Coelho, was deferred
until this morning. This is TO appro-
pirate $10s6 from the Maui county
treasury for unpaid claims. The mat,
ter of 'appropriating was objected
to by Castro, who thought the House
should go no farther than "authoriz-
ing"
This. concluded the work of the day.

to the fact that the electric light
lamps on the waterfront were unshaded
on the water side. Many of the pilots
and masters of steam vessels had COM
planned of this, as it added to the diff
ficulties of night maneuvering in the
harbor Mr. Campbell asked that the
city electrician be instructed to replace
the shades, the Department of Public
Works being willing to stand the ex-
pense.
How to Write.
Kane's old resolution. compelling all
persons to address, certain communica-
tons to the Mayor and Board of SUI
pervisors, was raised from the table,
and being amended passed. The amend
ment makes it read that all communiea-
tions bearing on expenditures must be
sent direct to the Mayor and board.
Matters affecting engineer and road
work in the county, concerning prog
ress, ETC.. can be sent directly to the
City Engineer.
What About the 800?
Mayor Fern said that sometime ago
the board had appropriated 800 to pay
some Hawaiians at Waipahu for dam
ages to their land The Hawaiians had
not been paid. The natter was to pass
through the hands Of the County At
torney. The Mayor asked Mr.. Milver-
ton what had become of the matter.
Mr.. Milyerton stated that there was
some uncertainty as to whom the money
should be paid. He would report at
the next meeting.

More Premium Money.

In accordance with a bill passed by
the Legislature raising the bond of the
Oahu Auditor from $4,000 to S25, 900
new bond was in readiness to be APP
proved. The Supervisors were some
the premium was about $500. They
thought the $57 paid out on the old
bond of $4,000 should be paid back by
the fidelity company.
viii Rearrange System.
Supervisor Logan intimated that
when the county had to begin collect
ing taxes, licenses, etc., under new
law, that the office forces of the var1'
GUS bureaus would have to be investi-
gated, and possibly Encouragement
made.
Mr. Logan put through a resolution
presented by the City Hall reporters
that all typewriter reports, resolu-
tions, etc, prepared in advance of meet
ings. be made with carbon copies for
the use of the newspapers.
The road committee reeommended
that the lane running in front Of st.
Louis College from Kukui to Beretania
avenue be closed to yehicular traffic as
it was dangerous TO pedestrians using
it, for vehicles to pass through. boy
was recently killed there. The matter
was referred to the County Attorney.
The Sheriff s report for March show
ed a total of 372 arrests for the entire
island with 252 convictions. and fines
assessed amounting to $1616.33.

said he favored il, but he wanted i
TO apply to all alike and he asked Mr.,

we are going into this thing let us
see that all are treated alike"
Councilman Belland at once stated
that the blind pig omission was an
oversight on his part and he asked
that a clause be inserted including
them, and this was done,
Then came the best part OF the
whole matter, Mayor Smith, with a
smile which did not conceal his earn
estness, asked the president OF the
council to take the chair while he
spoke on the matter.
But Mayor Smiths address was
quite short.
Il believe the Mayor has the right
to suspend police officers for not do.

| like Of suspend some Of them IL they
don't make arrests in some Of these
gambling cases. Everyone knows
about the Chinese lotteriesand we
need the revenue. Let 'em be fined
pretty stiffiy once in a while"
Behind the Mayors ostensibiy hu.
morous suggestion lies a policy so
important and OF such iar-reaching
consequences that it may be well
worthy Of study.
The Mayors policy would seem to
be that sinee-like the poor--we are
bound to have some Of the gamblers
among us. let them pay for their
rich privilege. especially since the
city needs their aid in filling its de-
pleted exchequer,

ton, which calls for the suppression

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1909-02-02

After d very businesS-like and quite
serene meeting OF the council last
night, and just as everybody was
waiting for the motion to adjourn, a
resolution was introduced by Coun'
Gilman Belland that came like a tiny
bolt out OF the blue,
The resolution Sets after the gam
bling known to be going on among
the Chinese and cigar stores; gets
after the open saloon on Sundays,
and, as the result OF an amendment
insisted upon by Councilman Curtis
gets after the three or hve blind
pigs that Mr.. Curtis says he knows
Of his own knowledge 10 be doing
business in Uppertown.
The Belland resolution calls upon
the board of police commissioners to
instruct" the police department to
enforce the. statute laws OF the State
of Oregon, and the very apparent
object of the whole resolution is to
put the whole matter up to- the
three members OF the police commits
sion. The resolution was adopted
without a dissenting vote, and there
vas not a dissenting voice raised in
objection TO it, though Councilman
Karinen rather pooh-hooed il as be-
ing a thing which would soon die
away and be forgotten, as had been
the experience Of similar agitation
once before.
The resolution first reeited, that
whereas the district attorney has Civ.
en- notice he will strictly enforce the
gambling and Sunday closing law;
but that the said enforcement OF the
laws has been rendered difficult ow-
ing TO the failure Of the police de-
partment to cooperate with the dis.
trict attorneys Office therefore it
was resolved that the city auditor be
instructed to communicate with the
board of police commissioners and
state to the board that it is the desire
of the common council that all sta
tutes and laws relative to gambling,
Sunday closing Of saloons and to the
sale Of liquors in local option dis
triets be strictly enforced; and that
the police commissioners instruct"
the members of the police force to
make arrests in such cases.
"It is we'll known" said Council
man Belland, "that the members OF
the police force are willing to enforce
the laws; some Of them would go
through FIRE and water in the course
of their duty, but they have been told
not to enforce these laws. What we
want is to have the commissioners
now tell them to make arrests"
The matter could hardly have been
put up to the police commissioners
in a more forcible or a palmer way.
As soon as the resolution was first
read Councilman Curtis arose and
