FIRE AUTO HAS
ANOTHER TEST
THIS MORNING

Covered with the mud of Walla WAL
la streets until he looked as though he
had been given an application of IS
W. paints, Councilman J. F. Stack
this morning determined to his full
satisfaction that the new fire auto is
the proper stunt, and when the test
alarm from box 216 at Eleventh and
Willow streets came in this morning,
a squirt of speed on lower Main street
showed conclusively just how the old
horses are out classed on a good road.
Councilman Fritz Lehn pulled the
box at 10 o'clock this morning, and
the three vehicles from the central
station responded in record time
Chemical No. 1 took the lead, the auto
being in second place, and the hos,
wagon third as the run down Main
street was made. Near Eighth street,
the auto took the lead, and was sew
eral blocks ahead of the chemical
when too-sudden a turn onto Eleventh
street threw the apparatus almost up
on the sidewalk, forcing Councilman
Stack to jump in order to prevent col
lision with telephone pole.
Before the auto could be pulled out
of the mire, the chemical again had
the lead, but was unable to reach the
scene of the supposed fire in advance
of the auto. The delay on leaving
Main street was due to the fact that
Hughes, the driver of the auto, did not
understand the instructions of Chief
Metz to turn at that point, and was
unable to slow his engines in time to
make The turn with safety. The ma
chine "skidded' side-long upon the
pavement, bringing up with thud
against the parking on Eleventh street,
and threatening for an instant to
throw the passengers into the ditch
Run Not Timed.
Because Councilman Lehn was un-
able to hear the tap of the big bel at
the central station, the run this morn
ing could not be timer, as had been
planned 1t is doubtful. however, if
an alarm in that locality ever brought
the department out in quicker res
ponse, as the old bay team on the

say nothing of the fact that interest
rates are much better than in the
east. 1t appeared to Us as an ideal
place to locate headquarters.
The company was organized after
frequent consultations with the higher
officials of the church.
I'VE expect to start active work in
the immediate future-as soon as the

the company stand many men who

The Spokane Club.

Saturday Evening was the scene of
a ioyful festivity at Reynolds hall
when the Spokane club held its annual
meeting. The committee on entertain
ment had prepared short but very
interesting program. The guests were
confronted at the door by a hotel
clerks desk. There they registered
and were assigned rooms according to
their residence in Spokane. The
guests were put upon four floors and
each floor had to give a short enter
tainment for the rest of the company.
The first group gave a scene from
Natatorium park, the second one a
sketch at the Orpheum, the third the
Spokane Dads" in council and the
fourth a graduation from the Spokane
high school. The first was repre-
sentation of the outsideeof show tent
in the park The barker came out
and after a short spell, his Ethiopian
damsels danced and sang for a time.
The skit at the Orpheum was a very
clever representation of a hypnotic
stunt and considerably mystified the
company. The question before the
city Dads" was, shall a straightaway
franchise be granted to the Airship
company In spite of the eloquence of
Mr.. Chitty, the council was consider
ably in doubt until they We're con-
WINGED by a liberal distribution Of
greenbacks from a representative Of
the 1uggenheim interests. The fourth
was a very clever burlesque on the
graduation exercises of the Spokane
high school, wherein: Strauser, Mr..
Coleman and Miss Martin acquitted
themselves especially we'll.
A short business meeting followed
this hilarity and officers for the ensu-
ing year were elected. Thomas At
water was elected president, Meta
Lohnes, vice president; Charles New
bury, secretary, and Hazel Dart, treas
urer.

The slide at Burke is about half a
mile long, rs feet deep and packed
nearly as hard as ice. Through this

All night long the workmen deved

A finger sticking above the surface
