FATHERS DAY IN SPOKANE
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

Spokane. Wash.-"My Daddy Is a
Grand Old Man" was the spirit of
special sermons by several pastors in
Spokane churches on the occasion of
Fathers Day, June 10, and many en-
dorsed the movement, originated by
Mrs. j. B. Dodd of this city, by wear
ing red roses in their coat lapels.
Mayor Nelson S. Pratt declined to is
sue a proclamation, calling upon the
residents Of Spokane to observe the
day, giving as his reason that he has
no desire to stand sponsor. Besides" ="
he added 1--WE already have enough
special days" This, however, did not
deter Mrs. Dodd in her ambition. She
broached the plan to number of
ministers of the gospel and others,
asking: with all due respect to
mother, what is home without faith
err" The answer came full and
strong: Come to think of it, we're
some pumpkins after all. We've been
overlooked for many years. Let's
take our light from under the bushel.
Wen celebrated. Wen have a real
holiday" They did and in so doing
they placed dad" upon high pedes-
tai. not as "the old man." but as
father, the head of the house, king
for a day. Mrs Dodd is working to
extend the movement all over the
nation.

FALLS 172 FEET; GETS UP
AND TAKES SISTER TO DINNER

Spokane, Wash.-David Danielson,
20 years of age, who fell from the
top of the new Morrison theater
building here, a distance of 172 feet,
without serious injury on June II,
has returned to work on the struc-
ture. Danielson tripped over a coil
of rope on the roof and pitched head
long to the pavement where he
landed in a wheelbarrow Before
those who saw the descent could rush
to his air, he arose to his feet and
walked to the office of DR.. Stanley H.
Titus, where he calmly stretched out
on an operating table to ascertain the
extent of his injuries. A cursory ex-
animation showed that no bones were
broken, and when Danielson learned
this he walked to his sisters home and
invited her to dinner in a restaurant,
where he did justice to a meal that
would satisfy two men of ordinary ap-
petite. He said the cash over his
left eye is the only thing that caused
pain, adding that the sensation OF the
hurried flight through space amply
repaid the after inconvenience by
reason of a closed optic.

Washington, June 23.-Hopes for
an early adjournment disappeared to.
day when Senator Burton of Ohio,
mountain forest reserves which il 10
expected will last two days. Repre-
sentative Weeks threatens to begin
filibusterng unless the bill passes
the house. Burton began filibuster-
ing in the hope that the threatened
loss of so much time would cause the
senate to postpone action on the mea-
sure. 1t was expected adjournment
would come Saturday, but now it is
questionable. The bill on which Bur-
ton is speaking is the proposition that
the government maintain reserves at
the headwaters of rivers in the APP
palachian and White mountains. The
bill was recommended by Mckinley,
Roosevelt and then Taft.
The filibustering on the measure
came as a surprise to congress. When
the postal savings bank bill passed
in the senate without a sign of such
tactics, the leaders believed all OBJ
stacles in the way of an early ad-
journment had been removed. The
forest reserve bill was regarded az
a minor matter which could be dis
posed of or allowed to go over. The
fight has caused a hasty conference
of senate leaders. 1t is possible a
night session will be held tonight to
allow Burton to complete his remarks
which he estimates will take twenty
hours.

St. Paul, June 23.-President
Brown of the New York Central rail-

facing a critical economic situation.
In a speech before the 21st annual
convention of the Minnesota Bankers
association he declared the consump-
tion of food exceeds the supply. On
the other hand, he said, the produc-
tion of gold is increasing and thereby
lessening its purchasing power, the
result being higher prices.
He said if the converging lines of
production and consumption contin-

have during the past decade, that be-
fore the next decade the last vessel
loaded with agricultural products will
leave our shores, and the United
States will begin to look for a place
to buy necessities. He said we must
increase our products per acre or
this country will face a big crisis.

Q. F. Harper, manager of the PEN
dleton creamery company was seri-
ously injured at the local plant about
s:15 this morning. He is now at st.
Anthony's hospital and it will be sew
eral hours before his physicians will
be able to determine the extent of
his injuries.
While STOPPING over to examine
some part of the machinery in the
basement of the creamery a wedge
key in the hub of the big drive wheel
on the compressor caught him in the
seat of the pants. In a twinkling he
was hurled over backwards, striking
on the concrete floor with his head.
He was then drawn up under the
drive wheel, between it and the con-
crete floor and it was in that position
that he was discovered by Wess Maple
the butter maker.
Hearing an unusual noise Maple
looked around from another part of
the plant to see the big drive wheel
grinding against the face and chest
OF the PROSTATE man and apparently
crushing his life out. Maple at
tempted to pull him out from under
the wheel but could not do It with
the machinery in motion so he shut
off the power as quickly as possible.
Unconscious and bleeding at the
nose, Harper was rushed to the hos
pital where two physicians began
working over him. In addition to
the blow on the side and back of the
head, his right ear was nearly torn
off, his left ear was cut and the en-
tire front of his face was badly
bruised. One arm was also bruised
but no bones were broken.
BY the time the doctors had dress
ed his wounds he was beginning to re-
gain consciousness and It is now be-
lieved that he will recover.
This makes the second life that
Maple has saved in the same plant
within two weeks. About ten days
ago. Loren Harris, an employ of the
plant, was caught by n set screw
while attempting to put on the belt
for the pump. The butter maker cut
him loose from the shafting with a
large butcher knife, leaving him al
most as innocent of clothing as a new
born babe. That he escaped with
his life is due to the miraculous man.
ner in which his legs flew around,
knocking a belt off the pulley. The
two accidents happened within a few
feet of each other.
The conditions existing in the ma
chinery of the local plant reflect
somewhat on the deputy factory In
spector who was here few weeks ago
and who reported the machinery as
safe.

cause the fishing is good. He said:

ANOTHER MAN DROPS OUT
Of SIGHT IN THIS CITY

Another man has dropped from
sight in or near Pendleton, accord
ing to messages and letters received
by the police from Portland. His
name is r. NJ. Pringle of 1872 Twelfth
street, Portland, and he was in this
city the evening of June Q.
On that evening he appeared at the
local office of the Western Union
Telegraph company and sent mes
sage to his wife, telling her that he
would reach Portland the following
morning at 10 o'clock. He therefore
evidently intended to take No. s out
of this city at 1880 that night. Since
that evening nothing has been seen
nor heard Of him and his wife and
other Portland relatives are becom-

ing anxious concerning him.
Pringle is described as man So
years of age with dark hair and
moustache streaked with gray. He
sometimes wears a vandyke beard and
though he is a Scotchman he speaks
good English and is well educated.
The letters received by the police
have apparently been from Mrs. n. H.
Turner who gave her address as sos
Swetland building, though the sigma
lures to each of the two letters re-
ceived was apparently written by two
different women.
\ diligent search of the city of
Portland, as well as the country be-
tween these two cities has been made
but without avail.

The Historic London Pit.

In the orchestra there are only eight
or ten rows of stalls. and Immediately be-
hind them is the pit, which is walled OF
by a barrier or fence. that stretches clear
across the theater. In the pit there are
no individual seats-merely rows of long
benches on which the people sit rather
closely together. 1t is, OF course, 1mpos-
sible to reserve seats in advance, and
people who are going to the pit have to
come early on the evening OF the per-
formance in order to secure the best
places. Hence in the case of popular
play, a long queue of people may be seen
at I o'clock stretching from the pit door
all along the sidewalk, waiting for the
house to open. They keep their places
very patiently in line, united by COM
mon mood Of pleasurable anticipation.
One manager. a while ago, tried the ex-
pertinent of selling reserved seats in the
pit, at the usual price, but to this the PIT
people objected strenuously. on the
ground that they could seldom know in
advance just when they would find them
selves possessed of that happy combina-
ton of money and an evening of. which
would permit of theater-going, and pre-
ferred to take their chances waiting in
line when the fortunate opportunity ar
