at the night session of the state
tuberculosis exhibit last night, and
his remarks were listened to with

that to get good milk it was neces-

dairymen were not making any
more money now than when milk
was selling at five cents per quart,
owing to the increase in wages and

TRYING To SOLVE
THE FILL MIDDLE

At last Mayor Pratt has con
scented to call the city council to
his aid in an effort to untangl4 the
Sprague avenue fill muddle. The
city council last Tuesday night
adopted a resolution ordering the
street committee to see what it
could do in the matter of pushing
forward the building of the fill, and
yesterday afternoon the mayor and
five members OF the council visited
the fill to inspect the work.
Councilman Mohr has taken up
the matter of the city acquiring
sufficient property on the sides OF
the fill to give the walls a slope,
and says that he hopes he may be
able to arrive at some under
standing.
Members of the city council are
anxious to complete the fill now,
regardless of what the cost may be-
They realize that the city is in the
hole and that the best way out of
it is to make as good settlement
as possible.

TO SHUT OFF
CITY WATER

People living on the south hill
should make provision for re-
serve supply of water tonight, as
the water will be shut off at s
O'Clock to permit the repair of an
other break in the force main on
North Division street. At the same
time a section of the wooden main
on South Grand street will be re-
placed by steel main in order that
there be no further interruption of
water service in that section. The
repairs will be completed by 8
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
In response to the continued re-
ports of water shortage the city
administration has ordered that
the old sprinkling rules of last
season be again put into force and
that no automatic sprinkling be
allowed except where meters are
in use. A force of inspectors has
been put to work to see that the
water rules are obeyed.

B0AROHUSHES
HARMON CASE

After an investigation of the
charges made against Superintend-
ent c. d. Harmon of the crematory
department, the board of public
works finds that he removed a
quantity of horse feed to his own
home with the consent of the board.
The real facts in the case are
that one of the members of the
board of public works, when he
learned that Harmon was feeding
his driving horse at the public
crib" grew very indignant and gave
out the information that led to the
charges being filed on the floor of
the city council.
Later the city administration
concluded that it already had more
than its share of scandals and call
ed in the objecting members of the
board and told him to 'straighten
out this Harmon affair."" The mat
ter. was promptly Strengthened
out" by report being filed that
Harmon had been given permission
10 appropriate the horse feed.
So the promised ruction in the
crematory department is, appar-
emily, quoted for the present.

The laboring man has the bal
ance of power in the vote on the
park bond issue and if he casts his
vote against it he casts a vote
against his best interests. His pro
portion of the tax burden will be
very small, and as the expenditure
of the money will be entirely in the
