1t has been over 10 days rx0
since the authorities were asked
to inspect the plumbing in this
house owned by the Jones COM

made by the health officers.
The only thing the citizen can
do is to either move out of the
house or endure conditions. If he
moves out, the Jones company
threatens to sue for the entire
amount of the lease. If he stays
he runs the risk of sickness and
death in his family.
How about it? Has the Arthur

with the health department, or
will they manage to take time to
inspect this plumbing?

Those are the questions which

Here is the incidents which have
caused the hereinbefore stated
questions to crop up in the mind
of this citizen, and under the cir
cumstances he can hardly be
blamed for wondering.
sSome time since, this citizen
rented from the Arthur d. Jones
Co. a residence at E2723 Second
avenue, taking lease thereon for
term of years. When he came
to occupy the place he found that
the cesspool had become so filled
with refuse that it overlooked into
his cellar, and the place was in a
dangerously unsanitary condition.
He complained to the Jones COM
pany, and after considerable effort
succeeded in having new cess
pool put in. He found, however,
that even with the new cesspool
he was no better off, for the pool
pit was located somewhat up hill
from the house, and the pipes run
ming to it were so inclined that
when refuse water was run into
them the pipes filled and overflow
ed into the cellar as before, while
but little of the refuse reached the
pool.
Again he complained to the
Jones company, but was calmly in
formed that he had received all
the attention he was going to re-

HEALTHIEST

Spokane is the healthiest it has
been in years, according to DR.. M.
B. Grieve, city health officer. In
spite of the reported scarlet fever
epidemic and a few cases of diph.
iberia people of Spokane are the
wellest in the city's history. That
scarlet fever outbreak, by the way,
has been cornered and there has
not been a new case In five days.
AS for the diphtheria, it is dis
ease that has always prevailed to
a certain extent in early winter and
there are fewer cases this winter
than ever before. November is
passing without a single case OF
smallpox, which is another unusual
condition.

Things had gone wrong with at least
one of the guests Of the Mountain
house. Miss Nina Hazlett had gone
up there with her maiden aunt as
chaperon. and they had scarcely got
their things unpacked when that
maiden aunt began to lecture her on
the frivolity of flirting.
Miss Nina had not f1irted. She had
simply let her eyes dwell for mo.
ment on good-looking young man.
Can't one sex look at the other sex
without being made to toe the mark
for so doing?
And then, when the trunks had been
unpacked, but not all the dresses yet
hung up, the girl had gone walking by
herself in the hotel grounds, and, upon
her return, bubbling over with en-.
thusiasm, the maiden aunt had met
her with the statement that she had
done highly improper thing and
needn't be surprised II the other
young ladies cut her dead.
Improper for girl of 10 to walk in
the hotel ground at three o'clock in
the afternoon to view the fountain
and the wolf in cave? Nonsense!
When she could have returned the
smile OF the bandmaster, but made up
a face at him instead!
And after dinner, because a young
man and his sister sat opposite, and
because the young man, instead Of
his sister, remarked that it had been a
glorious sunset, Nina's maiden aunt
said that girls, in her time, kept their
eyes on their plates when eating. OF
course it had been a glorious sunset.
or course the sister would have said
so had she not been too busy with her
soup. OF course the young man knew
that the glorious sunset would have to
be paid for with other extras, but he
wasn't going to spread a pail over the
table by saying that it had been a
five-cent sunset.
There was one more trial for the
young girl that evening. She wanted
to sit in grotto and hear the foun.
tain splash and the band play "a Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight" The
aunt made objections, but finally con-
sented. They hadn't been sitting ten
minutes. however. when she declared
that she smelled liniment and that the
man in the next grotto must be using
1t on a lame leg. They must not tarry
another moment. That lame leg might
be catching. And what was a grotto,
anyhow, but pile of stones? And
