The cause of woman's rights Is be-
coming well advanced in this city.
Yesterday w. T. Rarey prepared a
lawn in front of his house. He had
the ground nicely worked over and
leveled when he got through last
night, and this morning he went out
to look at his work, wondering how
many dogs had tracked over the
new ground. There were no signs of
dogs but there we're some tracks
great, big woman's tracks, and in
stocking feet at that. Mr.. Rarey' 8
story encountered considerable in
credulity when he tried to tell it
down town this morning, and every
one wanted to know how he could
tell a woman's barefoot tracks from
a mans. He stuck to the story,
though, and claimed that he knew.
The only conclusion that can be
drawn is that the day of equal rights
has come. Hubby Is no longer the
only one who slips in barefoot at 3
a. m.

Wants Commission for Selling Ian

Wants Commission for Selling Land
J. o. Naslin, an old time resident
of this valley, who sold his holdings
up the Columbia river last fall and
moved to Seattle for the winter, was
in the city yesterday, attending court
defending himself in the case of H.
N. Swartwood against j. o. Naslin
and wife.
The plaintiff, Mr.. Swartwood,
claimed commission for selling Mr..
Naslin's land, and through his at
torneys, Reeves & Reeves and L. J.
Crollard, brought suit in the superior
court of the county. Parr & Hub
bard are the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT.
After the presentation of the case
by the plaintiffs, the attorneys for
the defense moved a non-suit and
the case was dismissed because there
was not sufficient ground for action.

SHOWS DECREASE
In N ct REVENUE
Norfolk and Western Operating
Expenses Higher for August
Than for August, 1909.

Although the total earnings Of the
Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany for the month of August showed
gain of per cent. as compared with
the corresp onding month last year, the
increase in operating expenses showed
an increase of 10 per cent, leaving a
decrease of 4 pep cent. In net revenue.
These facts came out in the report of
Comptroller Joseph w. Coke, received
here last night.
Total earnings from passenger. mall,
express and freight amounted to s3,-
155S33.67. an increase of S262.S27.37 as
compared with August. 1909. Total
operating expenses were S1,952. 902.3l,
an increase uf s311,369.15, the net earn
ings being s1,202,e31.S6, or a decrease
of s4s.54l.Is. which is per cent.
While virtually every transportation
company has endeavored to cut down
expenses so as to show steady
monthly gain, 1t has not been possible.
In view of the higher wages now being
paid, the increased cost of material.
and the thousand and one things
which must be bought from day to

the Norfolk and Western operating ex-

amounting to s560,743.ee. Still, on the
years record 1t is expected that the

decrease of g per cent. for July and

day the greatest temperature range
was recorded, the actual drop amount

little prec,pitation-1.0 being the
exact total for tho thirty days. The
winds behaved fairly well except on
September 9. when they kicked up a
velocity Of .wenty-seven miles an hour
for a period of five minutes. The
average velocity however, was only
SO miles an hour. There are seven
clear days, eleven cloudy days. and
twelve partly cloudy days. With the
exception of the real scorching day.
September was not bad actor and
much in October may be forgiven here

With the view of eliminating the

the present method, Councilman John
j. Lynch will offer at the next meet
ing of the Committee on Streets reso-
luton providing that alleys and side
walks be paved out of general fund
for the purpose, instead of at the ex-
pcnse of the property owners. His
plan proposes to eliminate the issuance
OF allegations and other details which
now hamper the action of the ocm-
nittee
In the event of the passage OF such
ali ordinance, all asked OF the prop
erty owners would be to waive action
for damages against the city. Mr.
Lynch is of the opinion that being re-
lieved of doing such work at their own
expense, citizens would be much more
ready to sign releases and that alto
gether the work would be done more
quickly and with a great deal more
satisfaction to all concerned. 1t is
understood that the majority OF the
committee Is in favor of the change,
as 1t has long been apparent that the
old system is too slow and cumber-

In the latter instance, two publish
ers declined to sign the contracts be.
cause OF their disinclnation to agree
with the state Board as to the prices
OF their publications 1t will be re-
membered that when the bldg were
asked for, the publishers were request
ed to submit propositions based on
both the single and double list plan.
In most instances the single list was
given the preference. but single list
prices were sought where the contract
was divided, say In cases where one
book was adopted for city and another
for country high schools. In two cases
no agreement could be reached, ana
the contracts will. It Is presumed, be
awarded to other parties.

Ref,ned Endorsement.
Judging from the opinions expressed
and the petitions the patrons OF the
schools desired Professor McChesney's
retention. Accordingly. when Profess
sor Anderson presented his certificate
for indorsation. the superintendent re-
fused action. Without the indorse-
ment of the superintendent no person
may teach In the division. Professor
McChesney took the position that any
one who would accept the position un
der the circumstances was not proper
person to be IN charge of the schools,
and that the good Of the schools would
not be conserved by Professor Ander-
sons incumbency as supervising prin-
cipal.
Professor Anderson appeals to the
State Board. saying that Professor Nc
Chesney has no right to withhold his
