Mayor Murray and the city council

Mayor Murray and the city council
have done much in the line of I'M
movements this spring and have
many Others under consideration.
They should receive the thanks and
hearty support of all citizens but as
70 often the case there are some who
stand back. unwilling to do anything,
and ready to block. if possible. any
improyement that is to be made.
We have in mind. particularly, the
action taken by the mayor and coun-
ell regarding the request that proper
ty owners along Spring street bring
their sidewalks down to grade and put
them in passable condition. There
are some who have done this and the
Improvement is decidedly noticeable,
but another similar Improvement con-
templated has been temporarily block
ed by the refusal to comply with the
reouest of the mayor and the streets
and alleys committee. Every prop
erty owner should readily see that an
Improvement of this kind is of as
much or more benefit to him as to
the public and it seems strange that
a ready compliance with the request
is not made. 1t is now the intention
of the council to form an improve
ment district in order that the city
may make these improvements where
the owner does not show disposition
to do SO, and charge the cost to the
AUDITING property. The Islander
heartily endorses any action looking
to tbs improvement Of the town and
hopes the council will not hesitate
tosexercise its full power under the
law.

A. L. Mills, the president of Port
lands biggest bank, evidently knows
what he is talking about when he saws
the Pacific Northwest is the most
prosperous section Of the United
States. He says capital of the coun
try is easy and it is coming this way
for investment in large quantities.
Prospects this year are the best. he
says, the Northwest has ever known.
He naturally attributes very large
part Of the activity and hustle here.
about to the large amount of railroad
building now under way. This work,
he says. is showing the confidence the
leaders in the financial world have IN
this section and it naturally breeds
confidence in others.

While it is impossible to get any
OF his polictial friends to admit it,
the talk is strong in King county
that Congressman Hupmhrey will
shortly ISSUE statement to the effect
that he will be candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Sen
ator Piles. Humphrey is still in
Washington City, but number of
his friends are at work endeavoring to
mould public sentiment in his ia
vor. Humphrey figures that he will
be able to poll big vote in Eastern
Washington. He believes that he
has always been quite political ia
vorite on that side of the mountains
and with the backing of United States
Senator Jones, which his friends de-
clare he has been promised, the Con
gresham thinks that he stands a good
chance of being elected. The an
nouncement that he will run is looked
for any day.

The people of Seattle and vicinity
discovered during the past week that
they want to have nothing more TO
do with men whose business it is to
go up in the air in flying machines.
Charles K Hamilton, the aviator,
contracted to come there for a three
days. meet. The exhibition on the
first day was good one. hut in his
closing flight, something went wrong
and Hamilton and his machine took
a tumble into a nearby pond. The
aviator promised to fly on Sunday.
but failed to get his machine in run
ming order. A big crowd was disap-
pointed and the Western Washington
Fair Association. under whose auspi-
ces the meet was held, agreed to give
a freq exhibition on the following
day. Monday. On that day Hamll-
ton gave two short exhibitions and
agin his machine failed to work.
Under his contract Hamilton, through
his manager. received five thousnd
dollars for his fizzle. 1t was the
intention to have another exhibition
on Tuesday. but as Hamilton gave
evidence that the next attempt would
probably be a still greater failure the
meet was called off. Hamilton Is
manager was paid in full for the ex
hibition and the two are now in a le-
gal row over the proceeds.

Seattle is having a skyscraper fight :
that is bunch of capitalists want
to come to Seattle and erect few six
teen to twenty story buildings. Some
local business men are opposed to
it; they declare that the subsoil OF
Seattle is such as will not provide
foundation for skyscrapers. The an
swer goes back that the soil is all
right; that the real kick is that if the
skyscrapers go up they will house sc
many tenants that those who expect
to erect small office buildings will be
unable TO find people to occupy them.

SCHOOL
PROPOSEOFO INDIANS
ASKS FOR SCHOOL FOR RED MEN
FARMERS PROPOSITION TO
DONATE TO STATE OPPOSED.

Washingt. n, Feb. l9.--The indian
affairs committee of the house wants
TO give the Indians OF the United
States another agricultural college
and for that reason Will offer an
amendment to the Indian appropria-
ticn bill now pcndiig In the house
appropriating $4,000 for turning the
Chilocco indian School of Oklahoma
into an agricultural college for In
dians all over the country. The col
lege Is to have capacity of 800 stu
dents. Representative Mcclure has
succeeded in obtaining the abandon
ment Of the Chilocco school and
then offered bill authorizing the
interior department to turn the prop
Crty over TO Oklahoma for state
insane asylum. The opposition to
this proposal appears TO be strong
enough to Kill it, and the Indian az
fairs committee has instructed Rep.
resentative Campbell TO offer the
provision to turn the institution into
an lGdian agricultural college.
The Indian appropriations bill In
lebate developed some lively tits
which showed the attitude OF some
of the republican leaders toward
the Indians. The bill provides for an
appropriation of $4,000 for relief
of Indians OF Oklahoma suffering
from smallpox and trachoma. The
item was opposed by Representative
Mann, who declared that these In
dians are no longer wards of the
government. but are citizens who
cou,d go to work and make money
by cultivating their lands. The av-
erage indian Is better off than tho
average white man in Ohio. Illinois
or Oklahc ma" said Mr.. Mann. and
yet the white man, who has less
property, is asked to relieve the dis
tress Of the Indians"
