TO CONSIDER
NEED Of A
CITY MARKET

A discussion of the need of a
first class municipally-owned mar
ket will be held by the city coun-
ell at it's meeting next Tuesday
night.
The matter came before the city
council last night in a communica-
tion from Mayor Pratt in which he
urged the erection of city market
building as a'protection against the
high cost Of living in Spokane. BY
bringing the necessities of life di-
rect from the producer to the con-
sumer these things could be had
cheaper and resultant benefit fol-
low all around
The mayors communication bore
out the attitude of The Press, which
has advocated city market build
Ing for the last few months. The
mayor, having investigated the cost
Of living in this city, came to the
same conclusion that The Press
reached in its researches, that the
cost of living here. through the cx.
cessive profits of the middle men
and the control of the retail trade
Of the city by one association or
another, can only be put on the
right basis of competition by the
building of city market.
Councilman OstrandeF wanted
the matter referred to a special
committee. On the suggestion OF
Councilman Funk. who wanted i'm.
mediate consideration before the
whole council. 1t was referred to
the committee of the whole to be
brought before the meeting of the
committee next Tuesday night.

SAN BERNARDiNO, CAL, Feb.
24.-The story Of how he died Of
thirst Is written on the sun-scorch-
ed pages of diary found beside
the skeleton of Carl Sunne, young
Norwegian, in the Amargosa desert,
and brought here today by Charley
Lee, an Indian trader. The mys-
terious disappearance Of sunne has
been worrying the officials of this
section ever since search was
started last July, at the request Of
the Norwegian consul in New York.
The diary tells how Sunne start
ed into the desert prospecting, and
how he lost his way.
The first pages are full of hope
and reflect his brave spirit.
But after his scant water supply
gave out and the dry heat of the
desert began to weaken him, he
soon realized the hopelessness of
his situation. He struggled on and
on, however, and for four days
forged ahead without one drop of
water to moisten his parched lips.
The last entries show that he
lost his mind, and finally his pencil
produced merely a weird scrawI
that evidently is the product of a
delirium.
The diary and such other effects
as made the Identification of the
skeleton possible will be sent to
the Norwegian consul in New York.

events In the Industrial struggle
that has rent the city since last
Saturday and in which several
persons have lost their lives.
They refused, however, to revea!
what action they would take or the
nature of the measures under con-
sideration. The city was filled with
wild rumors today that every union
man and woman in the city would
be ordered to leave their work,
workshop, store and factory before
sundown. Both sides admitted that
Philadelphia faces one of the great

is damaged by the car strike. Stores

The first depositor who saw
the crowd about the bank had

scores of other depositors were

until the fighter retired with a

that the frightened depositors
