MEN MUSTBE
FASCINATED

Any woman can hold mans at
tention and interest for short
time; it is only the fascinating wo-
man who never pals, who can ex-
ert subtle charm after years of
association when the familiar be-
comes the commonplace.
Women who have possessed this
mysterious quality have dominated
their age. From the dim recesses
of the tomb they still influence the
world, giving a glamor and charm
to the printed page of history.
Such women need not fear to die
or grow old. Tanner women can
never fill the niche they have oc.

tractor will be paying the fine OF
$1OO per day which has been accu-

and the members Of the board of
works took trip to the much-dis-
cussed hole in the ground this
morning. Besides the mayor, those
who went on the inspection tour
were Commissioners Armstrong,
Mudgett and Weymouth.
Mayor Pratt said he could see
considerable progress on the reser-
voir job since he was there last,
but he was naturally disappointed
at the slow progress that was be-
ing made.
There is a slight chance that
the reservoir will be completed
this year, but not a very big one,
perhaps. There are two shifts at
work on the job, and dirt is being
carried away at a fair rate. but not
as fast as it should be-" said the
mayor.

grievance to be aired or injustice by
someone in power checked up. In
10 cases out of 20 the complaints
are we'll founded. and newspaper
appeal usually brings results. The

to the policeman. but the police
have got in bad odor since The
Press exposed police conditions,
and now the only friend left for the
man who has been "up against it" is
The Press.
The people, it seems, have learned
that The Press has no master to
obey in Spokane. All public officials
and corporations look alike to The
Press, and any abuse of privilege,
when properly backed up with the
facts, will be exposed.
