When the first rails were laid none
suspected that the Rio Grande would
some day be wrestling with its pres
ent-day problems of refrigerator cars
and quick haul to eastern markets.
Prospectors were nosing their way
into the unscarred gulches of the
mountains and sending up their cries
of victory as their picks turned veins
of precious minerals to the light of
day. There was business in hauling
ores to mills and smelters. food sup
plies and mining tools to the men in
the hills. In the matter of food alone
there promised always to be good
freightage, since the mountains were
non-productive. and man must eat
The railroad builders pictured to
their stock buyers thousands OF min
ers to whom everything in the nature
of food must be hauled. The cars
that were to run over the new road
would go into camp filled with flour
and meat and fruits and vegetables,
and come back loaded with ore. This
was to be the routine. world without
end! Dwellers along the line were
pre-condemned to a tin can susie
nance as long as time should last.
But gradually settlers, who did not
know how to mine and could not
learn as readily as they had hoped to
be able to do when they struck out
for the new bonanza. began to turn
inquisitive eyes on the valley lands.

But the valley farmers were not CON

not stop at that in their yield, and
there began to come calls on the rail-

There is nothing at all definite or

fact that the local Knights of Pythias

VIOLATIONS

The city government is Just
now engaged IN the work of en-
CouragIug violations OF the reg
uIatiuns and ordinance, estaD-
lished years ago in the city, and
meaning 50 much to the health
and cleanliness OF the COmmun-
ity.
But then il il whispered about
that this encouragement of yio-
lauOn of an important city ord
nance may be done in order 10
accommodate some very dear
friends OF the charter form of
government. Also To save them
trouble and expense.
For days the city teams. maintain
ed at considerable expense, have been
going up and down certain alleys and
cleaning up ash piles, refuse piles,
etc. Wagon load after wagon load
has been hauled off and all at the
expense of the city. Now this is u
most commendable piece of work on
the part of the city government. Ii
is work that is necessary for the
health of the community. The alleys
should be cleaned but should the city
clean the refuse piles back OF private
property and then permit the "enter-
prising" and loyal citizens owning
this property begin the very first day
after the cleaning up is done to re-
new the pile of ashes and refuse in
the streets? Yet this Is being done
and being tolerated.
The ordinance provides that refuse.
ashes. etc, shall not be dumped into
the alleys and streets. Yet the city
government is permitting this to be
done and instead of enforcing the
ordinance the city from all accounts
Is cleaning up the ashes and the re-
fuse at its own expense and permit
ting the violation of the ordinance to
continue.
Many citizens of the city having at
heart the general welfare of the COM
munity. keep their ashes and refuse
piles in their back yards and at in
tervals PAY to have them hauled
away. Yet what inducement Is there
to thus be careful and conslderate
when the man next door piles his
ashes and dirt in the alley and the
city hauls them off at its own ex-
pense?
1t is reported on reliable authority
that from the ash pile of one citizen
tnere was ldhen Ny the Cll1 totdi
of seven dead chickens. Think of 1t
and this man is one of those gentle
men who yell "knocker," at every
man who dares criticize the present
city government. From another ash
pile two departed and deceased tom
cats were removed.
Yet some of the dear champions of
reform" will cry out against this
suggestion that the ordinance be en-
forced. people made to keep their
premises clean, and the city instead
OF using the time of its teams and
drivers to haul off the refuse, make
the property owner stop filling up
the alley with foul and disease breed
ing refuse and haul off this stuff at
his own expense as the ordinance
provides.

TO TELL WHEN
BUDS ARE DEAD

There are number of the
amateur growers perhaps who do
not know how to tell when the
fruit buds are killed and yet it
is all simple enough according
to n writer in this weeks issue
of IA leading horticultural jour-
nal.
The lesson is an easy one to learn
il we have general idea of the ma
ture of a fruit bud. Every bud con-
tains a miniature blossom within its
outer covering of scales. This bios
som will consist when open of the
outer perianth of leaves known as the
corolla and sepals. Inside of these
are the perfect or germinatiye parts
OF the flower known as the stamens
and pistil with its ovary at the base
1t is only this inner part or heart Of
the flower that is subject to injury by
frost during the winter. This is shown
by blackened condition. If there
fore by cutting transversely across a
fruit bud the very center is found to
be brown or black 1t is sign that the
bud Is killed. These same buds will
unless the injury is especially severe
open out in the spring and their
corollas will be as bright as any
flower. The germ of heart of the
flower being killed however the en-
tire flower which is abortive falls
away without setting fruit.
The only thing now to dodge is
early blooming and a lingering frost
but the smudge pots will take care
of these things and half million of
them will be ready for business this
spring.

What are spokane's women going
