speculator. entered New k o-day.

gambling implements In tc Cotton
Exchange, advanced eigh,y points,
equivalent to 81 bale in actual cotton
Mr.. Patten brcaKfasted with Eugene
q. Scales, the cotton spcculator from
the South, who was reported to have
lost s6,000,000 In the slump OF cotton
on Friday. Following that he proceed
ed TO his brokers' office. In South Will
liam Street, and for the two hours
of business in the morning he was more
active than a bunch of hornets whose
nest had been disturbed.
In that short space of time new
high record was established for the
transactions of the session. Never be-
fore In the history of the local cotton
clique. II was said. had SO much bus
mess been done in such a brief period
Those in II position to estimate the
volume Of trading declared that almost
1900 bales of cotton, or rather OPP
lions or contracts calling for that
quantity, changed hands inside OF 120
minutes.
Ill aon1o quarters 1t WAS denied that
this extraordinary activity. with the
corresponding startling advance In
quotations, was due to the activity OF
Mr.. Patton. Certain brokers' affected
to believe that II was the outcome OF
orders that had been delayed because
of the storm and the consequent dam
age 20 telegraph wires.
Not At All Worried.
Mr.. Patton. who is accredited with
being one of the so-called big four
consisting of w. +. Brown. T.. G.
Scales, L. Haync and himself, who are
supposed to have lost heavily in The
great slump on Friday, saidto-day that

added; but a man is foolish 10 at

A MODERN CITY.

Citizen taxpayers who favor muni-
cipal ownership of water and believe
in a progressive city with modern
convenienees should not neglect to
register. We might as we'll have
these things now and enjoy the COM
forts that come with them as to wait
few years and then secure them for
others to enjoy. The situation makes
applicable that old saying: Live
while you live, for you win be a
long time dead" In other words
get what comfort you can out of the
things OF this life. because you do
not know what Is to follow. The
future is based ON faith and hope,
the present Is living reality from
which We cannot escape, and 1t is
our duty 10 make II as enjoyable, as
desirable and as comfortable as pos
sIble. These comforts and eonyen-
fences are secured only at the ex-
pense OF those who will reap the
benefits and those who come after
them. Let us make Occur d'Alene
modern; make 1t attractive; make
1t city OF homes. which viii attract
those who want desirable place
where they may live. Register for
the bond election to be held May
and vote for these modern methods
OF living.

No, no, the Press does not want
the contract for county printing!
The reason is simple enough lit can
not get 1t, either through the bosses
or by fair bld.---Jonrnal.
The Journal is to BIO congratulated
for taking the public into its con-
ndence by publishing claim that II
had arranged with members OF the
board OF county commissioners to
give 1t the county printing. The
people who pay the taxes are pleased
70 know these things and the state
ment that the Press can not get II
tthe county printing! either through
the bosses or by fair bid" CONFIRMS
tho boast OF one OF the commission
ers that the Press had been jobbed
this time. The people like to know
these things in case the commission
ers ask for reelection. VIII the
Journal come out now ard state who
the bosses" are and what promises
Il made to the commissioners to
prevent the Press from being award
ed the contract for county printing
either through the bosses or by a
fair bid?" Does tho journal moan
20 infer by this statement that 1t had
an understanding with the commits
sioners? Rumors to that effect were
In circulation, backed by insinua-
lions Of persons come ted with the
Journal previous to the opening OF
the bids, and according 10 the rules
Of evidence these reports and the
above statement Of the journal make
strong case against tho board. But
Il Is the admission OF the Journal
which will be convincing to the tax
payer. OF course the Journal will
now attempt an explanation OF It's
admission and put false construc-
ton on It's statement by giving
some lame excuse or attacking the
Press, but the fact will remain that
1t has said; ''No, no, the Press does
not want the county printing. The
reason IL simple enough--it can not
get Il, either through the bosses or
by fair bid" This language Is
plain enough. In the exuberance OF
success, flushed with victory. the
editor OF the Journal lost his head
and killed the goose that laid the
golden egg; he told how the trick
was turned and placed his benefac-
tors in position which they can
not explain TO the people who pay
the taxes. Neither can the Journal
explain II. II wanted the people to
know that 1t had influence" enough
to pull the printing from the Press
and could not resist the temptation
to tell its readers that the Press
could not get 1t either through the
bosses or by fair bid" II the
Press could not get It by a fair bid
81 must be inferred that the Journal
could get 1t by an unfair bid. Tx
plantations that do not explain are
now In order.

Up to the City Authorities

There has been much discussion be-

the question Of the enforcement of the
Liquor law, and now the Washington
authorities, through their officers. pro-
pose to rigidly enforce the Prohibition
law in this state and woe be to the
ment license. And that possession
means conviction in advance in this
state, 40 it checks it up to the State
authorities, through their County At
tornies and sheTjffs to zee that the law
10 enforced and liquor sellirg stopped.
Now Judge Ruppenthsl proposes to-
aid the City Authorities who have
passed prohibition laws to enforce them
and has given public notice that here.
after when he paroles violator tried
in his court he will require them to
give good end big bond to keep the
peace and stay out of the business for
two years. ard he will require that
that bond be approved by the MavOr
and City authorities, so that he NAV
know that it is good and the city will
be partially responsible and interested
that the man keeps out of the business.
This will be great Improvement, for
30 many bonds are given by relatives
or friends who care little and they gen.

the City authorities to see that the
parole is lived up to or bond prosecuted

good reason as the Judge has surely
