CONDITIONS.

That married working women are
running the condition of labor in the
United States is the very firm convic-
ton of Miss Margaret Kelly, one of the
NOSE prominent women delegates IL
The National Labor convention. Miss
Kelly is representing the International
Boot and Shoe Workers union, and is
one of the only two women whom
President Gompers has put upon ma
tional committees, being a membes OF
the organizing committee of the Amer
lean Federation. She is spinster
but has studied deeply the conditions
of married working working women
Married women are the ruination OF
labor today. They ought to stay at
home and take care of their husbands
and families she declared, her blue
gray eyes flashing. "They don't per-
severe; they do the labor less con-
scientiously; they take any pay. A
dollar a day is good pay for them
and they are continually undermining
the wage standard, because they know
they always will have their husbands
earnings to fall back on

The devastation wrought by these
women in labor circles is more agra
waited in the eastern states than it is
out west There, says Miss Kelly, It
is a general thing to see married wo-
men working in factories.
Il don't think they show sisterly
love or christian charity when these
married women who have husbands
working, deliberately take the bread
out of the mouths Of poor girls de-
pendent on their own efforts to make
a living.

Cleanliness In Persia.

The Persian spends hours In the
'hammams' turkish baths,. which
are very handsome buildings decorated
with tiles and embellished with nu-
merous exhortations as to the value of
cleanliness. The smallest village in
Persia has its "hammam," and bathing
is almost a religious function. When
the hot room and massage are finished
the Persian is shaved, and the whole
TOP of his head is likewise shaved.
though the hair over the ears is left
and allowed to grow down to the neck.
This strange coiffure has a religious
meaning, for the two locks on each
side of the head are meant for the an
gel of death to hold when he carries
the believer to paradise. All Persians
dye their hair with mixture OF henna
and vesmeh. and the hair dyeing is the
last part of the bath. but tea and
smoking are INDUCED in afterward

S185 FOR EACH 90
FOOT LOT
COST OF SEWER is TO BE BELOW
THE ESTIMATE MADE BY EN-
GINEER WARD-CONTRACTORS
START WORK SOON.

There is considerable satisfaction
on the part of the members of the
city administration over the figures
submitted for the big sewer system.
The city engineers estimate for this
work was about 1855, 1000, and the
contract was awarded for S227,000,
some $25, 900 under the estimate.
The $4,000 distributed over the
area in which the sewer is to be built
amounts to approximately $1S5 for
each so foot lot and under the five
year bonding plan this will be paid
in five annual installments, making
the payments very easy on the prop
erty owners.
Engineer Ward, however, is going
to recommend to the city council a
change in the distribution of the cost
of this sewer, according to the plan
adopted by the Spokane council, that
is, that the cost of the sewer be dis
tributed half in proportion to the
value of the lot and half according to
the area-that is, business property
will be taxed a little higher in pro-
portion for sewer purposes than resi-
dence property. The contractors are
expected back here in the course of
few days to start in work on the
big job.

MILWAUKEE, To
TAKE: OVER
HANF0RD
HOLDINGS OF BIG IRRIGATION
COMPANY MAY GO TO SUBSID.
larry OF RAILWAY CORPORA
TION-HOLD BLANKET OPTION

White Bluffs, Wash, May 6.-All
indications point to the sale of ex-
tensive holdings of the Hanford Pow
er & Irrigation company, in the
White Bluffs country, to the Milwau-
kee Bonding company, a subsidiary
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound Railway company. The Mil
waukee concern holds blanket OPP
ton on the Hanford property.
1t is said 100000 is involved
and that the advent of the Milwau-
kee railroad interests into this valley
means rapid development and vast
extensions of the Hanford company's
irrigation and power system. Almost
half a year ago experts, representing
the bonding company, were examin-
ing the plants at Priest Rapids and
Coyote Rapids and other units in
connection with the parent project
of the valley.
Civil engineers have been in the
field since last fall making prelimi-
nary surveys of land under the 2S7-
foot lift on both sides of the Column
bia river, and the report they turned
in shows that practically 100000
acres is irrigable in this region by
the employment of the combined
units of the Priest Rapids electric
power plant, operated by diversion
canal from the rapids Of the river.
The Hanford lands, now under the
low line canal and to come under the
high line canal in 1911 stretch for
25 miles west from White Bluffs,
over a territory said by irrigation ex-
perts in the employ Of the govern
ment to be the largest body Of ideal
irrigable land in the United States.
The Milwaukee road has survey,
through this valley from Beverly to
Kennewick and right of way has
been purchased.

STOP PREVENTAB[E
DISEASE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR SPREAD
OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASE AND
MEANS AND METHODS OF PRE-
VENTION AND CURE.

Prevent the preventable diseases
and save life and money" was the
grand theme at the tuberculosis ex-
hibition at the Commercial Club last
night where DR.. Kaupp, city health
officer, presided and where addresses
were made by Mayor Gellatly. DR.
Mccoy and J. B. Combs, represent.
ing the health department of the
state.
While Mayor Gellatly emphasized
the fact that keeping free from dis
ease is a personal matter, DR.. Nc
Coy and j. B. Combs gave several
illustrations of the fact that people
are responsible to and for each other
and that carelessness on the part OF
one person may infect a whole COM
munity. DR.. Mccoy told of a case
Of typhoid in this city which was
the direct cause of IL other cases
within two weeks because the first
family that had the disease careless
ly threw the excrement out into the
yard and the flies carried the germs
to all of the homes in the immedi-
ate neighborhood. He also pointed
out the wrongness of people break
ing quarantine and failing to report
infectious or contagious diseases so
that the health authorities of the
county and city can protect the COM
munity from contagion. "Forty-five
per cent of the deaths In the city
were of children under 5 years of
age. OF these all but 5 per cent
was due to preventable disease.
Keep the milk and water pure, and
innocent children will not have to
suffer for the negligence or wrongs
committed by Others"
Mr.. Combs, with the lantern slides,
illustrated the methods of the trans
mission of consumption from the az
flicted to the well and pointed out
the necessity and the methods of
prevention. Splitting is the most
fruitful cause of the spread of the
disease because the sputum dries and
the wind carries the dust into the
air, where it is breathed into the
lungs of those who are free from
consumption and the germs again
begin their deadly action. 'To be
free from consumption don't sleep
in unventilated rooms, don't be in
temperate, don't overwork, don't
sleep in crowded rooms or work in
unsanitary shops, make and enforce
laws that will compel people to wipe
these out" was the sentiment ex-
pressed.
