OLIVE BRIDGE
.<l!s ORDERED
COUNCIL DON'T KNOW WHERE
IT'S GOING TO GET THE
MONEY, BUT IT'S ON THE
WAY, ANYHOW.

After taking about every side of
the proposition, the council last
night finally voted to build the
Olive street bridge at once, wait
ing only for written agreements
from the Spokane Traction Co. and
the county to pay portion of the
expense.
Not only has it been decided to
build the bridge, but the Watkins
resolution, which brought the mat
ter to focus, declared for the
adoption Of the plans for a con-
crete bridge, and further provided
that the work be done by day
labor, as has been done on the
Mission avenue and the Washing
ton bridges.
Engineer Ralston appeared be-
fore the council and stated the .ex-
pense of the bridge could be cut
approximately $4,000, provided
the work was authorized at once.
The material, used at the Mission
avenue bridge could then be float
ed down the river to be used at
the East Olive street bridge.
Councilmen Mohr and Dalke
were inclined to favor further post
ponement Of the passage of the
resolution. Dalke taking the stand
that before the bridge was started,
written agreements should be re-
ceived from the Traction Co. and
the county. The Traction company
is expected to pay $1,000 a year
for the next % years. while the
county will pay half the balance,
provided the total amount to be
paid is not over 100000. Graves
last offer was $4,000 fiat.
Mr., Dalke, in response to a ques-
tion raised by Mohr, stated that
he did not believe there would be
. dollar left in the bridge fund for
the East Olive street bridge.
Z Councilman Nelson. the latest
addition to the council, presented
the claims of the east end citizens
for the bridge in clear and con-
else manner. and was factor in
preventing further delay. A dele
cation Of Interested citizens was
on hand to keep an eye on the
proceedings.
The new bridge will be similar
In general to the Mission avenue
bridge. with 40 foot roadway
and two 10 foot sidewalks. The
money to build the bridge is in
cluded in the 100000 bond issue
which is now pending. and will be
decided upon in the near future.

NO CHANCE FOR
DIVORCE BILL.
: Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-Judge N-
ter's divorce bill was lacerated,
macerated and mangled for a few
brief minutes by the house judici-
airy committee, and when they
paused for breath, there was SO
little left that they decided to In
definitely postpone the measure
and draw one of their own. The
bill the committee will draw will
be in the nature Of amendments
to the present law. % = '-'''.
1t is doubtful whether any of
the amendatory additions to the
present law will be serious, If the
line of action taken by the COM
mittee furnishes any ground for
Judgment. AS the bill was read
section by section, the amend
ments trended closely toward the
law now on the books, so that it
would appear that the present d.
vorce law is nearly satisfactory to
the public morals committee at
least.

trust had been a hog and received

triton is now ascendant in the
mind of the trust, and provided
the cigaret law is amended, the
retailer will be allowed a profit
compatible to that on cigars.
Cigar dealers in every town are
sounding their members ON the

minors will achieve the result de-

BY AND ABOUT WOMEN

BY Mrs. Emeline p. Lawrence,
Leader Of English Suffragets.
Election candidates are far too
occupied with the men, whose
votes they want, to have any time
to spare in remembering that there
are women in the world who have
their special grievances, their spe-
cial wrongs to be redressed.
Women and girls In factories and
workshops have to work longer
hours than men, their conditions of
labor are worse and their wages
are lower.
In times of unemployment
schemes are started to help the
men. The women are left out. Dur
ing the last so years the wages of
women have remained stationary
or have gone down. The dirtiest
and most unpleasant work is done
by women. The so-called sweated
trades are women's trades.
This helplessness of women is
not only an evil for themselves, but
a curse to the country and a great
wrong to themselves.

TO ALTER
C|GARET Law
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-Some time
in the near future there will come
an amendment to the Byerly ciga-
ret law which will allow persons
over 81 years to buy cigarets or
cigaret papers. And to make this
amendment good, 1t will also pro.
vide that to sell cigarets or cigaret
papers to minor is a felony, pun
ishable with a term in the peni-
Tertiary.
This, like every other amend
ment to the cigaret law, will be
bitterly and probably successfully
fought. The cigaret law as 1t now
stands on the statute books, Is
probably In its most drastic fea-
ture attributable to the high and
mighty manner of the tobacco
trust. Two years ago there was
no opposition Is speak of from the
tobacco dealers. Cigarets and the
materials for making cigarets gave
them no profit. Popular taste runs
in two or three cigaret channels,
and the tobacco trust owning these
channels ketp the price at figure
that afforded the retailer little or
no profit. To get even with the
trust, the retailer was willing to
lose the tiny cigaret profit. and
hence the lack OF opposition to
the Byerly bill.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 81
A pitiful and tragic story of a
young girls betrayal and a
brothers swift vengeance is about
to be unfolded in this city, with the
opening of the trial of William
Mitchell, youth 10 years old, who,
early this month, shot down his old

of wrong done his sister Ethel, a
beautiful girl Of 16.

for hayward girls, but few days
later made her escape.
When the information that the
girl had disappeared was brought
to the Mitchell home, young Mitch
ell, believing her to be again with
Thayer, arrived at his determine
ton.
He kissed his mother and invalid
father good night. went to his
ROOM, secured his revolver and
hurried out into the night.
A few blocks away he met Thay
er walking with a friend. Without
further ado he accosted him and
charging him with the ruination of
his sister Ethel, shot him through
the heart. AS Thayer lay dying he
emptied the remaining chambers
of his revolver into the PROSTATE
form.
Then Mitchell calmly handed
over the smoking gun to a police
man and submitted to arrest.

flat hairdressing outlining the
shape of the head. But like most ef-
fects of feminine dress these new
meek ha!rdressings are apt to he a
bit misleading, Weakness in many
cases is only eoiffure deep-to para
phrase a familiar truth-and the new
banded hairlressings require quite as
much pains in the building-and twice
as much hair-as the ancient Greek
arrangement of year ago.
Yards and yards of hair are neces-
sary for the wonderful braids that are
wound around the head like coils of
rope, and these braids must not only
be long. but heavy and luxuriant in
suggestion. To increase this effect of
luxuriance the braids are pinned with
huge shell pins. which seem necessary
to keep the wealth of trcsses in po-
sition. This arrangement of the hair
in banded braids is called the Brittany
coiffure. and to most women il is very
becoming. lending a youthful look to
l.t't SitiHS liic
lines. II is sure to be popular, for it
may be arranged with very little hair
of ones own. Long braids are neces-
sary to be sure. bud they may easily
be bought and pinned in place with
the big shell pins when the natural
hair has been fluffy waved and
drawn back into a knot of puffs.
Fiuffiness is a very important essen
tial Of the brittany hairdressing. for
unless the hair puffs out softly in
front of the braid. and frames the face
hccomingiy, the braided coiffure will
he harsh and trying.
A Brittany hairdressing is illus
tratod. in this case only one thicl.
braid having been added to the nat
