STORY IN THE PRESS LEADS
FATHER BACK TO LITTLE DELLA

when he read It he realized what he
had done in leaving his crippled
baby to the charity of strangers.
He was making good wages, he
was getting along fairly well in the
world. but, like a man. he hadn't
stopped to think. He had just made
up his mind that the child was be-
ing taken care of, and let 1t go at
that.
But when he read The Press
story he realized. and the manhood
in him arose. So he came back.
And yesterday, at the orphans
home, where Della has been cared
for, there was a touching scene
when father and daughter were re-
united. Della cried. but not with
the pain OF her back--it was sheer
Joy that caused the tears to stream
down her cheeks.
Yesterday her father took her
from the orphans home. and she is
to go east to an aunt. an aunt who
who Is anxious to care for the poor
little deformed body, and father will
see that she has what money is
necessary to do all that Is possible
for that tiny hunched back.

A crew of so men is at work lay
ing mains. In addition to the large
supply mains that run south to the
main leads from the water works,
the Cannondale section will also be
hooked onto the Kenwood stand
pipe for the benefit of the reserve
pressure furnished from that
source in the season of low water.
The Cannondaie district will be
supplied by large main running
north on Martha street from the
high pressure force main and by an
east and west line tapping the Gin
cinnati street main near the stand
pipe. The Orchard Heights section,
east Of Hillyard, is being supplied
by main running north on Freya
street from the old Jackson avenue
30-inch main and will be entirely
separate from the Cannondale sup
ply.
Collectors appointed by the
board of public works are, now col
lecting in Cannondale for the first
months service via the wagon plan.
The bill is $3.50 for the month,
which just about covers the cost
of the teams employed to deliver
the water. This is the rate former
ly paid the Jones company.

WATER FLOWS IN
NEW CITY MAINS
EXTENSION OF WATER SYSTEM, RUSHED BY THE
COUNCIL, WAS COMPLETED TODAY

Cold, clear, pure city water Is to-
day flowing from the mains Of the
people In a portion Of the Cannon
dale district, recently redeemed
from the oppression Of the Jones
water autocracy, by the grace OF
the city council, and as result Of
the fight The Press has conducted
against the Jones system.
In two or three weeks more, If
good weather prevails, Cannondale,
Orchard Heights and all of the
northeast section of the city for
meriy supplied by the Jones water
system. will enjoy the blessing of
pure city water, served through
steel mains, laid and owned by the
people.
There will be no more petty tyr
amy by the Jones water monopoly
that has retarded the development
of that section of the city for the
last two or three years. Cannon.
dale will be included within the
beheficient zone supplied by the
water system of the city of Spo-
kane. and incidentally will enjoy
better and cheaper service, with
out the petty exactions that have
hitherto prevailed.

OLD RUINS
WILL NOT
Be USED
Entire New Set of Plans
Will be Drawn.

Spokane's new South Central
high school will not be rebuilt from
the ruins of the old school building.
This has been decided by the
school board, as result of tn epro-
tests of leading citizens and the
public generally, which objected to
the erection of the new building
under plans drawn by Architect L.
L. Rand, these plans involving util.
ization of part of the walls of the
old schol building.
The board at meeting this
morning rejected all bids for con-
struction of the South Central
school according to the old plans,
and ordered Mr.. Rand to draw an
entire new set of plans. providing
for construction of an entirely new
building.
1t had been figured by the board
that the city would effect an econ
omy by utilizing portion of the
walls of the old school structure,
but In order to do this II would be
necessary to have some of the
rooms of the new building not well
ventilated and only partially
lighted.
1t was to this feature and in fear
of the stability of the old walls that
protest was entered.
Little attention was paid to the
protest, however, until after bids
for construction were opened, when
1t was found that while the board
had figured that not more than
100000 would be required for con-
struction Of the building over the
ruins of the demolished structure,
the lowest bid entered was $3SS, 900,
or nearly 100000 more than had
been expected.
