Inquiry.

Two members Of the Grand Army
have volunteered to act az mem.
bers Of a committee to investigate
the Elliott case and other matters
in connection with the police de-
partment. They will act as citi-
zens and as suoh will 90 into the

The Elliott case was taken up
by Sedgwick post, G. A. R., last

an open session of the post by Mrs.
P. P. Stafford and also by j. E.
Clark, representing Reno post, G.
A. R.
Comrade Chapman, who is en-
ployed at the city hall, said that
he had talked to Mayor Pratt and
Chief Sullivan about the case and
that they had told him that there
was nothing to be investigated and
that on this showing Chapman was
opposed to the plan of inquiring
into 1t.
J. E. Clark took the opposite side
and scored the city hall indiffer-

BIG FRUIT CROP EXPECTED

Officers OF state horticultural
associations and commercial Or
CARNATIONS in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana say in reports
to the Spokane chamber of COM
merce there is every indication
that the fruit crop this year will
be the largest and most profitable
in the history of the four states.
There is no danger of late freze,
but should the unexpected happen
the owners of commercial tracts
are ready to do battle with hun
dreds of thousands of smudge pots
or orchard heaters. 1t is predict
ed that higher prices will prevail
as a result of the heavy damage
to the fruit crop in the middle
western states.
F. A. Huntley. state horticultural
commissioner. says that growers
in Washington will produce twice
as much fruit in 1910 as in 1908,
the year of the record crop. Includ-
ing peaches, apricots, cherries, ber-
ries and other soft fruits the yield
will be at least doubled owing to
the increased acreage, he adds,
while the apple crop will show
an increase of about % per cent.

WILL SEE HOW
THE MILLION
IS SPENT

DR. P. S. Byrne, has reconsidered
his determination to resign from
the park board and will remain
with the board. The doctor says that
he is in accord with the proposed
enlargement of the park system and
will use his efforts to see that the
people are not disappointed in the
confidence they have reposed in
the board.
1t was reported awhile back that
the doctor was not in harmony
with the park board on the bond
question. His statement that he
will stay with the job and see that
the money is spent is accordance
with promises will reassure his
friends.

CARS CRASH;
MOTORMAN HURT

Motorman Mozart of the River
view car on the Spokane Traction
Co.'S line, was seriously injured
shortly before 10 o'clock last night
at Perry street and Sixteenth ave-
nue.. when he crashed with his car
head on, into the track sprinkler.
Both car and sprinkler were badly
damaged but the men in charge OF
the sprinkler jumped and were I'M
injured.
The Riverview car was coming at
terrific rate of speed down the
Sixteenth avenue grade and was
unable to stop, though it is declar-
ed that both the air and sand were
applied. A disregard of orders,
which prescribed that one crew
should stop at the switch near the
corner is given as cause for the
accident.

WAR ON THE HOUSE Fly.
Concerted Attack to be Made by
Government Entomologists.


A concerted countrywide attack
is to be made on the house-hy this
year, according to DR.. Howard, chief
entomologist of the Department OF
Agriculture, who testified Thursday
before a Government House commit
tee at Washington.
When spring begins hundreds OF
scientists, aided by laborers, drugs
and chemicals and mechanical kill
ers,' will try to drive the household
pest out of existence. DR.. Howard
says the campaign will be opened in
the country districts, and the de-
partment will issue a farmers bulle-
tin, giving advice as to the ills the
flies are responsible for and how
to eradicate them.
This country, according to Or.
Howard, is the only one of import
ance in the world that has made no
effort to protect its orchards and
crops by rigid quarantine at its
ports. More than half of the II SER
ious tree and vegetable parasites
now costing the farmers many mil
lions of dollars every year were
brought in from other countries.
DR.. Howard urged the importance
of legislation to protect the United
States from the introduction of for
eign insect and parasite pests enter
ing with imported plants and nur-
sery stock.

WIPING OUT sECTIONALIsM.

Altoona's Grand Army men made
a very effective and tactful COM
ment upon Senator Gordon's already
celebrated farewell speech, when
they attended a Confederate veteran
to his grave one day last week.
John Gains had fought under
General Hill in the armies of the
south. but, like Senator Gordon, he
had lost whatever bitterness he may
have felt in those days and had be-
come a loyal citizen of the whole
republic, anxious that former diff
ferences should be forgot and old
wounds healed.
Most of the ex-rebels are that way
now. You recall Colonel Gordon's
homely way of expressing it in the
Senate the other day:
/ do want to bring about peace.
l am an old Confederate; you are
old veterans, perhaps. We dis
agreed, and you were the yictors;
but we still think our generals
were good men and our people
were good people; and we do not
dispute that yours were just as
good as ours. our people GOWN
south are not quarrelng over these
things at all. We have a few
blabmouthed fellows that always
want to make fuss, but they are
not even worth "cussing." So
will not use any inYectives against
them. We have them down south,
but they are not my sort, and
have got more influence with the
people than they have. talk
with them as | talk to you. | tell
them the truth and the facts, and
| tell them we have friends here.
Gains, too, felt that the Mason
and Dixon line was an. iniquitous
fiction. Although he lived in the
south, he was not ashamed that he
had fought for his convictions in
the south. He fought honestly, was
fairly yanquished and freely forgaye
the victors. One of his dying re-
quests was that they should act as
his pallbearers. Not only did the
Grand Army veterans bear him to
his last resting place, but the posts
turned out as strongly as they would
have done to one of their own dead.
AS a matter of fact, Gaines WAS
one of them, for soldier is sold
ier, and an honorable war record
long survives a dead cause.-Tele-
graph.

grows shorter and the sprees longer,
until he finally drifts into continu-
Gus drunkard. To this there is no
exception.
The question may be asked: Why
does the periodic drinker commence
to drink, or what starts him to
drink? This question is easily and
The periodic drunkard never stops
drinking until a circumstance arises
which is of sufficient power to cause
him to stop thinking of drink. On
the other hand, he will never COM
mence to drink again until circum-
stances arise which cause him to
think drink. This circumstance
might be depression of the system,
emotional excitement, such as Joy,
good feeling, possession of money,
etc.
Whatever the circumstance, it is
always of such a nature as to sug-
gest stimulation, which suggests the
thought of whisky, which prompts
him to drink. Sometimes the cir
cumstance may be of such minor
Importance to one on the outside as
not to permit recognition. Again,
the circumstances are oftentimes so
trivial to the drinker himself that
he hates to tell it for fear of being
subjected to ridicule.
But whatever the circumstance, it
is always sufficiently powerful to
change the current of his thought,
to think of whisky. The moment he
begins to think whisky, then he has
what he terms a desire for it, and
the more intense the thought, the
more the craving for liquor.
1t should be distinctly understood
that craving for whisky is in direct
proposition to the thought. The
thoughts are first, the craving after
ward. At first the periodic drinker
will, as he calls it, fight it off for a
day or two" This thinking whisky
and fighting it off intensifes the
thought of whisky, because he is
thinking, not with a determination
to annihilate the idea of whisky, but,
but, sometimes unconsciOusly, and
oftentimes consciously, of develop
ing the thinking of whisky. He
vacillates between thinking that a
drink will do him good. and then
again that it will be a menace to
his health.
In his last stages he comes to the
conclusion that a drink will do him
no harm, because he will take only
the one drink. The moment he
reaches this last of the series of
thoughts, he is lost, as he will soon
take that "one" drink. Being very
susceptible to the influence of alco-
hol that first drink performs the
work of ruin. In less than five min
utes after taking that first drink it
has permeated every part of the
system An indescribable feeling
of delight, of vigor, of joy, or a new
life of energy, is experienced.
Every cell in his body is possessed
with a magic buoyancy, and he di
rectly feels so brimful of exhilera-
ton that he can hardly contain him
self At the same time the inhibi-
tory power of the will suffers paraly-
sis, and being now under the con-
troll of it's impulsive power, he con-
tinues to drink, and before he con-
ceives the fact he is drunk, in which
state he will remain until sickness
seizes him. Thereafter he is liq-
uor's "bound-until-death" slave.
