FAMED FOR BEAUTY
Banks of the Seine UnequaIed
in the World.
REvERENCED BY PARISIANS
French History Told in Art Treas
ures Along Its Shores.
THIRTY BRIDGES AT PARIS
Wonderful Panorama of Buildings,
Gardens and Statues Damaged
or Threatened by the Flood.

The rising of the Seine river and the
consequent flooding of a large portion of
Paris brings to mind the beauties of this
stream. Other cities have enhanced the
lwatercourses which may run through
their domains, but nowhere will one find
the linking Of convenience and art as
in the French capital The Parisians
seem to have a love and reverence for
this river and they are forever building
something on its banks or across it's
waters to add to it's adornment.
The Seine has risen on other occasions
0hough not for many years., causing
the destruction of bridges and houses on
its banks. In 1868 an inundation carried
away a large portion of Marie bridge and
many of its buildings. The Old Change
bridge suffered frequently from the ris-
ing of the Seine before it was replaced
by the three-arched structure of 1858. A
similar fate visited the Petit on several
occasions in its early career, as was
also the case with the st. Michael and
places the ancient Rouge. which was car
ried away by the floating ice Of 1854 1t
is on the piers Of this bridge that the
notable rises of the Seine are Indicated
of materials that would not withstand
intense pressure, but the pillars were
usually of stone even though the bridge
work was of wood.
Thirty Bridges in All.
1t cannot be said that the Seine divides
Paris, because it's banks are connected
by no less than thirty bridges. which
serve to bring together as a whole what
might otherwise be two parts of the
city. These form passageways not only
for traffic and convenience. but they are.
indeed, ornaments to Paris Even when
the early kings of France held court
on the Isle de la Cite, which forms the
nucleus of the modern French capital,
bridges of artistic design were constructed
to connect this island with the mainland,
destined to become the chief city of fash
ion and art in the modern world.
The oldest of the bridges is the Notre
Dame, which formed an outlet to the
many highways on the right bank of the
river. The present structure of this name
dates back in parts to the thirteenth CEN
fury. The first communication on the
left bank was the Petit bridge. In it's
early days it's approach was guarded by
fortress, that WIS demolished in 1882.
All traces of the bridge itself were de-
stroyed in a great fire of nearly a century
ago. and with it the many buildings that
lined its sides. The present arch on the

waterway also lend to its attractiveness.

facade of beautiful ornamentation into
the Seine on one bank. while on the OPP

Stream Itself Slightly.

The stream itself is by no means I'M
slightly. Although it is used a great deal
for freight transportation, it's landings
are patterns which it would do well for
some of our river wharves to copy. Its
walled sides within the business districts
are attractive specimens of masonry. The
river is continuously dredged to keep 1t
sufficiently deep for the traffic that is put
upon it. From any point within the forti-
fications of Paris, distance of some
several miles. pleasure boats ply for the
trifiing fare of two cents. AS these make
frequent stops, they form a delightful
means for downtown shopping in place
of the stuffy, crowded trans The visitor
finds the Seine boats admirable for sight
seeing.
These are the beauties of the Seine
that are being damaged by the floods in
the French capital today-structures and
gardens that show the art and skill of
the French and the grandeur and growth
OF the nation. No wonder Paris is ex-
cited; no wonder all eyes are turned to
the French capital, for there on the
banks of the Seine are gathered treas
ures whose destruction would mean an
Incompatible loss to the entire world.

MORE LABOR
AGENCY GRAFT
(By United Press Leased Wirs)

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. o.
Local officials are much aroused
over the activity Of some labor
agency in Seattle, Wash, which
seemingly has been reaping a har-
vest from foreign laboring men,
their only expense apparently be-
ing a few glittreing promises of
sure and steady work in Van
couver.
For some time boats from the
Totem pole city have been dump
| ing in Vancouver each day patches
of six and more laborers, principal
ly Austrians, who have been in
duced to come here on the promise
that they will be met at the docks
and at once conducted to jobs. On
Wednesday the largest bunch ar
rived, 20 in all, and these, like the
ones which had come before, found
nothing doing so far as work was
concerned.

Here's the lord mayor of Tokyo,
this Yukio Ozaki who is here from
Japan on visit.
He isn't just comic opera mayor
of Tokyo, either. He's a real live
wire over in Japan, although it
probably doesn't sound like that in
Japanese.
Ozaki is born reformer. He re-
formed so hard back in 1883 that
the government decided he was a
radical and shooed him out of the
country. When he came back he
began to insurge some more, and
about seven years ago was elected
mayor of Tokyo. He also holds a
seat in the Japanese parliament.
His mayorial methods are said tC
resemble those of Mayor Gaynol
and he is anxious to meet his
American prototype.
The mayor and Mrs. Ozaki are
just now visiting around down
east and expect to call on President
and Mrs. Taft in Washington be-
fore they go back home.

was finally secured and a probe of
county affairs begun. No sooner
did the inquiry start than the grand
jury encountered innumerable OBJ
stacles to the success of their in
Quiry. One of the chief. was the
almost open hostility of the head of
the prosecuting attorneys office,
Fred c. Pugh. Enough evidence was
presented to the grand jury that,
had the prosecuting attorneys of
flee desired to have a full and COM
plete investigation sufficient indict-
ments could have been returned
against the members of the old
courthouse ring to have given free
transportation to Walla Walla tO
some of our so-called leading citi
zenS.
In spite of this opposition, indict
ments were returned against Cal
Atkinson, county clerk, for carrying
on private graft in the collection
of the illegal interest on trust funds
and was at one time found short in
his accounts over $500. w. M
Stafford, superintendent of the poor
farm, and uncl eof the prosecuting
attorney, and member of the old
Pugh courthouse ring, was indicted
for embeZzlement of the funds OF
the county. Gross mismanagement
of the affairs of the county in gen
eral was shown, but, strange to re
late, no other indictments were re
turned.
Then began an organized effort
by the friends of Atkinson and Stat
ford to secure their acquittal. The
prosecuting attorney, when the trial
of Atkinson was called, was toe
busy with the trial of Gurley Finn
for conspiracy in speaking on the
streets of Spokane, to give his at
tention to the conviction of one oil
the county officials indicted by the

sible in the matter of the acquitta

ROY, ANTI-RLNG CAM
/ DIDATE FIGHTS HARD

William r. Roy, former city COM
missioner, and a candidate for
county commissioner In the First
district, has posted his cards and
is beginning to get into the fight.
Roy made a fine record as water
commissioner while a member of
the board of public works. He is
contractor and builder and a
business man of executive ability
Opposing Roy is Allen r. Scott,
the republican candidate. Scott is
