DOG WAS A
GOOD PROVIDER

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 20
BILLY" Early, known to the police
of the Falls of Schuylkill as a pro-
fessional tramp with headquarters
in the old station z postoffice at
the Falls, has been living in luxury
for several weeks with the aid of
a trick dog. known as Teddy Bear.
1t is declared that Early, when
hungry, dispatched the dog through
a broken door panel, and bread and
cakes left on doorsteps disappeared
like magic when Teddy was on the
forage. Jerry Hanlon, bartender
at Ridge and Ferry roads, caught
Teddy drinking milk from pitcher
left on his doorstep. After getting
all he wanted, the dog picked up
the supply of cakes and bread left
for the day, disappearing IN the old
building.

the North Coast means lot to the
city and will be a great help to
the Fourth ward, as it will aid in
placing warehouse and shipping
district along the north bank of the
river.
eve must be fair with the new
railroads knocking at our gates,
particularly when they are fair
with us. The North Coast has
spent nearly 100000 for right
of way in Spokane and has bought
property that it will not actually
need in order to avoid contests. In
the Ide avenue case it did the
honorable thing and adjusted mat
tiers with the people.
$50 when all things are consid-
cred the North Coast is one of the
most liberal companies in its deal
ings with the people that ever
came into Spokane, and for this
reason we people in the Fourth
ward are appreciative and think
that its franchise should be treat
ed with due consideration and
granted"

purposes was subject to taxation
the same as private property. Ac.
cording to the railroad view, said
Mr.. Clausen, q could hold thou
sands Of acres adjoining its right
of way and by sowing little
grass on the same and calling it
park, escape taxes.
Councilman Peter Nelson was
the only member of the equaliza-
ton board to back up the county
assessor, Mr.. Nelson's idea being
that the park was an ornament to
the sneighborhood and should be
considered as such and given the
nominal valuation before assigned.
County Commissioners McBroom,
Phillips and Rohwer and Council
men Funk and Mohr held that the
railroad should pay taxes on the
ground the same as an individual.
