TWENTY-FOUR FOOT WALL
GOES DOWN IN WEST
GROVE ADDITION.

Mitchell Brothers, the contract,
ors who built the loose rock wall
in West Grove addition at Seven
teenth and A streets, will ask the
city to bear the expense of the col
lapse, which occurred a few days
ago.
Defective plans, issued by City
Engineer Ralston, are held re
sponsible for the fall of the wall
which is "a feet high and had been
finished but month when it fell.
After the wall collapsed the
tracks of the w. w. p. were EN-
dangered and a large additional
section of the wall was torn out
to avoid the danger to- life and
property.
The wall was of the same char.
after of construction as the walls
of the Sprague avenue fill, only
the walls in the latter job were
higher. The court has held that
the contractors are not liable for
the fall of the Sprague avenue
walls, and a similar finding will
probably be the result if the West
Grove job gets into the courts.
The Sprague avenue fill was in
tended to cost $4,000. A con-
sentative estimate of it's cost now
by Councilman Lambert places the
figure at 100000.

ITALIANS ENDORSE
ROOSEVELT'S STAND
(By United Press Leased Wire)


ROME, April 4.-Although every
one here. with the exception posi-
bly, of the strictest type of Catho-
lies, manifests a belief that former
President Theodore Roosevelt act
ed wholly within his rights in re-
fusing to accept an audience with
the pope under certain restrictions,
they are expressing establishment
that Roosevelt saw fit to publish
the contents of the messages that
passed between him and the pom
tiff's representatives.
The vatican had taken up the
matter of an audience with Roose-
welt while the colonel was IN
Egypt.
The communications exchanged
were supposed to have been conf
Dental, and the Catholic authori-
ties expressed amazement that the
statesman should have
given them to the press for publ
cation.
The general feeling, however, is
that Roosevelt not only acted with
in his rights, but in conformity
with the dignity of his position as a
former chief executive of the Amer
lean republic.

Their Necessity to
a Healthy Body

The foundation for either good
or bad health of an individual is
generally laid in the early part
of life. Good health requires the
coordination of all the parts of
our body working together doing
the thing that nature has set
aside for that part to do. One
part cannot do the work of an
other. We can not see withNthe
ear nor can we hear with, the
eye. The stomach cannot digest !
the food without the aid of other
parts; it must have help first
from the teeth, whose duty 1t is
to crush and grind the food so
1t can be easily swallowed. This
work must be done in the
mouth; the stomach has no
teeth; If the mouth has no teeth,
the work is not done.

noon of March 80, shortly after

Snow in the Touraine hotel, is be-

Mrs. Davidson, her grandmother, in

w. S. Davidson, her uncle, a resi-

of having taken her there with him,
he having been in Spokane on the

sheriff at Pendleton regarding the
case.

Answering question Z, I will say
there being no drug jObber in this

Co.. there is no competitor in this
city in our line with whom a COM
parison can be made, but we have
no freight tariff or concession that
is not open to any firm anywhere

tributing points possess every ad-
vantage that we have.

tive. The Spokane Dry Goods Co.

cially. and l might mention others,

SEWARD, Alaska, April 4.-The
keen scent of his dog saved the life
of st. Clair McClary. a miner bur-
led deep in a snowslide, according
to news which has just reached
here from the Haugan copper prop
erty.
The snowslide swept down the
hillside March 2S. The four men at
work on the property were caught
and buried Two managed to escape
without serious injury. The slide
was so deep. however, that the
other two had completely disap-
peared. Finally the dog led the res
cuers to place several yards dis
tant and began scratching at the
debris and barking wildly. After
hard digging they came upon the
men, who had been buried for eight
hours. Thomas Coates was already
dead. McClary was almost dead,
but is now expected to recover.

There is rumpus, mix-up and
a general hot time at. Rev. M. A.

dren's Home" E1605 North River
avenue, today.
The matron, Mrs. Catherine Nc.
Kay, has resigned and is packing
her belongings and incidentally is
saying few harsh things about
the Rev. Covineton.
Mrs. Mckay has been the ma
tron Of the home for five years and
has worked hard and faithfully for
the care Of the organs in her keep
ing. She has not approved of the
manner in which Rev. Covington
has conducted the business for
some time, but the open rupture
did not come until a week ago to-
day, when she crossed swords with
Covngton in the superior court in
the Morgan case, in which Coving-
ton tried to have the court give the
possession of a 5-year-oId girl to
the father, after Mrs. Mckay pro-
tested that the mother should have
it on the grounds of moral fitness.
81 have done everything in my
power to run this place honestly
and see that the children got the
attention which they deserved
said Mrs. Mckay today, but have
now ceased to try. Covington owes
me between 5000 and $500, which |
have placed in lawyers hands for
collection, and | propose to shield
his game no longer.
when a man poses as a minister
of the gospel and consents to the
placing of child for adoption in a
saloon it is time to call a turn.

that Morgan ought to have that lit
tie girl last week, after what i told
him about what | had learned as
to the manner in which the father
had abused the child, it made me
sick, so l quit. That poor mother

leaves it with Covington.

the money there is in it and In the
five years | have been with him he
has bought a home and a fruit farm

left to feed the children and hold

collection from the bOarders and
stand the loss when they refused to
pay, but when any fees came in
from placing the boarders in fam
lily for adoption it went to Coving-
ton and not to me.
"CovingtOn had the people do
nate stuff to him for the orphans
and he then sold this to me. A
year ago he made me buy about 80
boxes of apples, one-half of which
| had to dump into the river. An
other time l had to pay SIS for a
bunch of stuff some family sent in,
which COvington forced me to use. y
