BROTHERHOOD ASKS
BID FROM SPOKANE

Through Mayor Pratt Spokane
has been invited to bid for the es-
Establishment of permanent head
quarters of the grand lodge of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen in this city.
The organization has resolved to
move from Peoria, H., and ie open
for inducement in the way of
bonus. According to the mayors
information the order has 1000
members and the headquarters
will employ five general officers
and % clerks, disbursing a $4,000
payroll annually, with $4,000 for
expenses. The order carries a
100000 bank balance and pays
out 100000 month in benefits.
The board of directors meets next
January to decide where to move.
Mayor Pratt will turn the matter
over to the chamber of commerce.

sufficient quantities for all pur.
poses, will attract both new resi-.
dents and manufacturers. In this
respect Spokane should be doubly
blessed, for it has been especially
favored by nature with large bodies
of water easily accessible for use
by the city.
Those familiar with conditions
see only failure in the Priest lake
idea, after the expenditure of a
vast sum of money. 1t is asserted
that only 200 feet of fall can be
had from Priest lake to Howard
and Riverside, which would mean
standpipeS, pumping stations and
reservoirs as at present for the
higher portions of the city.
Better water and a great supply
can be had here at home If the
proposition is taken hold Of hon
the. geratest good for the greatest
number. In this connection we de-
sire to condemn the effort by some
few men to have eliminated from
the new plans of water extensions
the standpipe called for in Ken
wood to supply the great north hill.
People have not yet forgotten that
an appropriation of $4,000 was
made for a standpipe there in 1904,
but that through some strange turn
of the wheel of fortune it was
shifted to the south hill, regardless
of the fact that ground had already
been broken for the standpipe in
| Kenwood. The south hill has since
| had water at times when there was
none on the north hill, hence this
has caused the people on the north
! hill to realize that d standpipe
means water.
We feel that in Mr.. Reuterdahl
the city has an earnest and compe
tent head of the water department
one that if left unhampered will de
velop a water system that every
citizen will lhave just reasons to be
proud of. Political influences and
interference should not be toler
ated in the management of the
water system, as efficiency of the
highest order is needed in order t
get results. Mrs. Mary "A. Welsh

LET REUTERDAHL ALONE.

Editor The Press: AS citizens
and taxpayers, we feel that we
have a right to insist that the
measures of water relief planned
by Mr.. Reuterdahl proceed as orig
inally ordered by the city council,
without interference or delay be-
cause of outside committees or
commissions.
Water Commissioner Reuterdahl
should be given an opportunity to
put his plans in operation, as they
are the first real plans of water
betterments advanced in four or
five years.
We are opposed to any PROPOSE
ton of Priest lake water in con-
junction with private irrigation
companies. In such combination
one can well imagine what will be-
come of our finances with corpor-
alton hands in the pie. The cor
porations have shown their kindly
disposition toward Spokane when
asked to pay their share toward
the cost of bridges and viaducts.
Every city official is in the truest
sense a public servant, and should
he fail in his duties toward the
public he should be recalled and
never again allowed to hold office
Therefore, we would suggest to the
honorable members of the city
council that they continue to up
hold Mr.. Reuterdahl in his plans
of water extensions, as we trust
him and feel that he will do what
is best for the general public. Mrs
Kathryn Roudebush, 05311 Cincin

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. An
time of peace establish coaling sta
tions." q
There is gradually accommodating
evidence to indicate that Uncle
Sam has adopted this as at least a
part of his working motto on the
Pacific.
Unless all signs fail, the next ad-
dition to the nations present insig-
nificant number of coaIlng stations
is to be in the Galapagos islands,
the group off the coast of Ecuador,
now historically noted as the ma
rooning place of Sailor Jeffreys,
whose rescue was attempted un-
successfully by the Yankton during
the cruise of the battleship fleet
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Naval experts and writer's have
repeatedly laid much stress on the
imperative need of a coaling depot
for American warships as far
south as the equator and at the
same time removed from the main
land. To all appearances, an ideal
spot for the purpose has been
found in the Galapagos islands.
The gunboat Yorkton recently
returned here from the islands,
where surveys were made and data
taken for the most favorable site
for the depot. This has all been
forwarded to Washington to be
passed upon by the department. The
site recommended in the report is
Cruiser bay, Albermarle island.
Look at map of South America
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-08-04

and you will see the Galapagos
group of about Is islands, lying
directly on the equator, 600 miles
due west of Ecuador. The archi-
pelago is the same longitude as
New Orleans. The islands, all of
volcanic origin, are practically un-
inhabitable. They are dreary,
scorched wastes of lava, dotted
with numberless yawning craters
of extinct volcanoes. There is no
vegetation except the mangrove
tree, a scrubby plant that grows
where it can be reached by the
tide waters. There is no fresh
water on the island. Seals and i'm
mense tortoises are about the only
inhabitants.
Commander Harry D. Field of the
perts in marine surveying. He WIS.,
tied the Galapagos islands short
time ago with orders to find good
location for coaling depot, and
according to members of his crew
it will be but a short time until
Cruiser Bay will be officially listed
as a government coaling station,
with San Francisco, Guam, Manila,
San Diego and other places now
under consideration. The entire
Pacific fleet visited the scene
while the Yorktown was there, and
various officers pronounced the
site selected admirable for the pur-
pose.
Albermarle island is the largest
of the group. Cruiser Bay, hitherto
unnamed, but given this appella-
ton by the boys of the Yorkton, is
on the east coast of the island and
is we'll protected from the storms.
The bay is five miles long by four
miles wide, and of a horseshoe
shape.
If present plans are not aban-
doned, several of the old navy YES
sells will be loaded with coal and
sent to Cruiser Bay, Their to anchor
and discharge their cargoes aboard
the warships, as required. In this
way several thousand tons of coal
can be kept on hand continually.
Both before and after the opening
of the Panama canal the United
States ships will thus have place

IF you want to eat and drink
and be merry at the same time,
don't have family squabbles. Don't
get hot under the collar about bills
while you're eating"
This is the dictum laid down at
the Chautauqua assembly by DR..
Horace Fletcher, author, traveller,
instructor and missionary of diet
etic righteousness" as he chooses
to have himself titled.
mo wonder your digestion is up
set when you object to the prices
your better half is paying for her
big hats or her extravaganza In
laying in a new set of furs when
the market has gone against you.
Instead, look pleased. Congratulate
her on her good looks, her good
cooking, her pleasant ways and her
general perfection"
This is DR.. Fletcher's suggestion
to those who want to avoid all gas
tronomic unpleasantness.
Don't talk politics at the dinner
table," declared the speaker as the
first rule of dietetic propriety.
You can tell your wife how beau
tiful she is, or what good cook
she has secured, but don't discuss
the folly of womans suffrage or
the enormity of the last milliner's
bill while you are eating. Don't do
this if you want good all rounG
digestion.
When you are at table you can
throw verbal bouquets and compli-
ments at each other or think of
how good the food is, but when
you quarrel or begin to argue
about religion or politics or worry
about the size of the bills insteaG
of thinking of the enjoyment of
the present, you interfere with the
digestive operations.
TT is fact proved by observa-
ton and experiments that destruc-
tive thinking, anger, and worry
prevent the digestive operations,
and the food becomes a dead
mass in the stomach. But during
constructive thinking, pleasant
thought. and enjoyment they go On
uninterruptedly.
Have all the fun you can at
meals. Don't be sour, or grouchy.

The Field of Moral Suasion.

The Memphis Commercial APP cal 5
editorial, in Saturdays paper, hea-
ded The Growing Danger to Liber-
ty. in which the position IS A ken
that ministers of the gospel should
hands off in all things political, even
if the measures advocated are for the
promotion of temperance and NOR
ality, is the most masterful argu-
ment spun in mid air, it's readers
have yet been treated to.
Genius. talent nor brain can prove
thing true that is obviously false,
nor can they argue to make it ap-
pear that preachers are out of place
when laboring in the political, or
any other field, for the moral and
religious uplift of society. All viii
admire the tact Of a mind that can
build plausible argument without
good foundation, but all who search
for the safe ground for the position
taken in the Commercial Appeal :
editorial of Saturday will find it fu-
gitive and evanescent as air.
The Weekly believes that the
preachers field of labor is anywhere
he finds his Masters work to do
The improvement of moral condi-
tions constitutes one Of the great
works the church is doing for soci-
ETY., and places mankind in more
receptive attitude to embrace Chris
tianity We admit, however, that
the enforcement of morality is dis
tinctly political prerogative, but
the incentive originates in the de-
mands of a Christian people for the
good Of humanity, both here and
hereafter. If this is true, it would
seem that the field Of moral suasion
is on the hustings, as we'll as in the
pulpit; in the world as well as in
the church, and where immortality
and vice abound more than any
where else Too often, however,
the commercial interests of a city
are preferred to the moral and So
cial good Of its citizens, and talent
discredits itself in spinning falla-
cious arguments favoring evils that
have proven blights to all eommu-
mites that have suffered them. The

The Mark of Greatness.

The man himself, that is, the as
sociation Of soul with body that
gives him existence in this life is
not fully appreciated 10y the gener-
ality IF mankind, The activities
of mind, soul or body, expended hy
any unit Of humanity for the bene-
fit of others, is the mark of great
ness that wins plandits from the
world. If these energies are en-
ployed i'm self interest, to better the
condition and environments of the
individual himself, mankind de
precates and characterizes them as
mean and despicable. The ability
and expenditure, then, of talents
and labors to the advancement of
others, rather than for self, is the
criterion the world has set to win
the distinction of greatness. This,
itself. would make unfair terms,
were it not for the fact that no
sooner than greatness is achieved
than a generous and appreciative
public heaps honors and emolu-
ments on the sacrificing hero.
Still, coming back to the initial
statement. it is not the man him
self, the affinity Of soul and body,
that mankind thus honors-iti is the
unselfshness of the life. resulting
in benefits to them that they re-
member. To sum the idea, the
man himself is great no longer
than he is useful-his name is great
only in association with his great
deeds. If misfortunes of mental
physical or financial blight over
take him before death does, the
mau himself, though present, is
forgotten, but the deeds he has
done to bless others will he remem-
bered forever
