SAN FRANCISCO. August 6.-After

only by woman companion she set out

Scott. when she started. Greatly it was
a very enjoyable trip she said at the
finish. although there were times
she concluded with a smile.
This trip is remarkable in more ways
than one. 1t has opened up new fields
for the feminine motorists, who now
have conclusive proof that long distance
touring is as easy for them as it is for
men. With the advent of the modern
motor-car. motoring among women took
a tremendous boom. Now this feminine
transcontinental tour has given renewed

Miss Scott did not try to make a
speed record for the tour She merely

nentalsts. After that. however, she

for whole day on the desert. In the
East her path was beset by constant
rain and storms. In the West she had
to contend with the sitting heat of the
deserts where no rain has fallen since

DON'T WANT ANY
BROKEN MIGRANTS

These contractors have neglected
in most instances to report any
breakages, and therefore the water
officials have decided to take
stringent action, and deprive any
person who has wrench which
will fit the hydrants of the in
Strument.
One of the members of the de-
partment yesterday watched
novice workman trying to unscrew
the cap on the hydrant in order to
get some water. The hydrant was
one of those which have been fixed
with a water-gate, and all that was
necessary to get water was to turn
the control wheel. But this tyro
didn't know this and for several
minutes while unscrewing the big
cap stood directly in the way of a
stream of tremendous force, one
hundred pounds pressure. Just as
the last threads were reached, the
man stepped few inches to one
side and the stream caught him
just on the hip. II he had been

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-07-28

Inasmuch as the water depart
ment and the fire department are
the only branches of the city gov
eminent permitted to use he n.y.
drants about the city without speci-
fic permission, superintendent
Lindsay has decided to curtail the
activity of the street department
in this respect. The water officials
have determined to put their foot
down hard on the contractors and
laborers who use wrenches on the
hydrants.
Whenever a contractor wants
water to use on street improve
ments, the correct way to get the
right is to ask permission of the
water department. A man will
then be sent out, turn the hydrant
on and install a water-gate, so that
the operation of the hydrant will
be made perfectly simple. Instead
of applying for permission, some
contractors have been opening the
hydrants themselves, and the con
sequence has been that the caps,
or some other part of the hydrants
have been broken. This prevents
firemen from connecting their hq e
to the hydrants and would have
very serious results in case OF Z
big fire, where water was need9&
in a hurry.

a machine, messenger Of re-

Shortly after noon the first

PORTLAND, July 2S.-"Unless
foreign markets range considera-

wheat during July and August will
receive a better price than the
man who holds.
This is the declaration made to-
day by Theodore b. Wilcox. presi-
dent of the Portland FIGURING
Mills, the owner of a string OF
nils in Oregon and on Puget
Sound, and the biggest wheat buy
er on the Pacific coast.
Continuing, he said: "The Pa
cific northwest produces a surplus
of wheat each year, and as long as
We do we must sell at whatever
price the other fellow is wiling to
give. Just now a few men who
bought flour short at low prices,
are covering. and they have been
forced into the market at high
prices.
Il believe, however, that every
one is getting too excited over high
prices. Last year it was the same.
For a while we paid prices that
were not in the least justified by
local conditions or the market
elsewhere"
