gone by. Only girls feet are bound.
When children the feet of the girls
are placed in pair of iron shoes and
their legs are bound with a sort of
band and remain that way for long
periods without a change and to my
way of thinking it must be very
torturous. Another thing: they are
never able to use what God provided
them to walk with, as they are not
strong enough to hold up their own
bodies. They always have to be car
ried when they go anywhere by their
servants. 1t is nothing strange in
Hong Kong or in fact any Chinese
city to see one woman carry another
woman on the broad of her back and
they well earn what they get. 1t
seemed to me very funny at first, but
l should think if they wanted small
feet why do they not have wheel
chairs to be carried around in? Dur
the few months spent there wait
ing to be shipped over again never
saw one. If one of those Atlantic
City chair trusts invaded that city
they could reap a fortune, but their
prices would have to be great deal
less than one dollar per chair.
There is big shipyard there
owned by an English syndicate
which employs nearly all native help
and being little inquisitive | asked
figurehead carver who understood
little English what his pay was.
He told me men at his trade got
more than anybody else in the yard
that is natives dollar and tif-
teen cents day. He said it took
him many years to learn it and when
I told him a man in this country got
as much for day as he got for a
week he stood and looked at me in
surprise.
In the harbor ships come from and
90 to all four corners of the globe
and most of the men meet when on
shore at the Seamen's Mission or a
small hotel called The House OF All
Nations to receive their mail and in
the largest room in the hotel one can
see flags and coats of arms of all ma
tions with the good old stars and
stripes in the center as the place il
owned by an American who used to
sail from the states for the STANDARD
Oil Co. in one of their sailing ships
He always had a good word for Johr
D., stating the men under him al
ways received better pay than the
average man who left New York il
somebody else's employ.
A trip around the Horn on sail
ing ship takes anywhere from ont
hundred and twenty to one hundred
and eighty days. No doubt to some
it may seem a long time withou

According to statements from connected with the
city government the water situation is than
it was last summer.
There is question but what many sections of the city
beginning to suffer just badly they did formerly
and the complaints the rapid increase
There is also absolutely question to who is re-
sponsibe for this The mayor and the board of public
works directly responsible and the foundation Of the
trouble is the whole rotten system at the city hail. which
must be cleaned out through the adoption by the citizens
of the commission form of government.
Juggling and foolng around and quarreling and bick-
erng caused the posponemen in the work Of completing
the four standpipes. The Press had not exposed
the proposition to cut out the erection Of the south side
standppes there would have been promise whatever
of relief there AS is the work very badly delayed
The only remedy, and the remedy that must be taken
immediately is to rush the work fast possible and
meanwhile limit the consumption of water
At the time the naction of the mayor and board
of works should be investigated There has been ample
time since last to complete the improvements
The Spokane adopts the commission plan of gov
ernmen and gets rid of inefficient officials at the city
hail. the better it will be for the entire CITY, in every way

ROADS MUST

Councilman Shaefer says the Mil
waukee and the North Coast will
never receive a franchise in Spo-
kane with his vote If they recede
from the plan of building a union
depot and granting common-user
privileges to other lines.
Shaefer will submit amendments
requiring the building of a union
depot to cost $1,O00,OO0. work on
which shall begin within six
months after the franchise is
granted and to be completed with
in two years. The roads to give
the city a good bond for 100000

His common-user amendment
proposes to have the lines of the

that may want to use them, on the
payment of a just compensation
therefor.

VANCOUVER, b. c., May "a
The Turks defeated the Beavers
this morning to 0, after a game
that was replete with sensational
fielding and steady pitching.
Thompson was on the mound for
Seattle and the best the Canucks
could get off his delivery was two
hits. He was pretty lucky, however,
as the Beavers were solving him
toward the last, but their hits were
straight at fielder. Lynch made a
beautiful running catch of Scharn-
weber's line drive in the fifth and
saved a sure score, as Flanagan
was on third, with only one down.
The Turks made things lively by
three fast double plays. Miller
worked for the Beavers and after
the first two innings settled down
and kept the hits well scattered.
