The Fifth and Sixth Wards Have the
Largest Increase, Indicating
Growth of the City at its
Edges.

At the end of the first week there
were forty-nine more children in the
Keokuk schools than at the same
time last year, according to reports
of attendance made yesterday to
Superintendent Aldrich.
Of eight schools, five had an in
crease in attendance, and three show
ed a decrease as compared with last
year at the same time The greatest
increase was in the Carey school, in
the sixth ward which alone had more
than half the total increase in the
city Whether this is due TO special
compliance with Roosevelt's anti-race
suicide propaganda of FIVE years ago
or to increased population in that
part of town from people moving in,
does not appear
The next greatest increase was in
the Terrence school, at Fifteenth and
High streets, and the increase at
Carey and Terrence combined is a
half dozen more than the total in
crease in the city, the efforts of these

DiIPc Successor.

LUZ 0dSSSSSO''
In selecting Walter Shaw to fill the
vacancy made by the transfer of Har-
ry E. Dill to the Nebraska house, the
officials of the S. p Pond company
are confident that they could not have
made a wiser choice. Mr.. Shaw has
been with the Pond people for tie
past three and half years and has
made good in every sense of the term.
Starting in at the bottom of the lad
der and working his way from small
position in the egg room to manager
of the creamery in SO short time
speaks well of the integrity and bust
ness push that is in his make up. As
manager he will have entire charge
OF the creamery. attend to the buying
in that department and superintend
generally.
He first commenced work for the
S. P. Pond company here in April,
1907 In July that year, re was pro
NOTED to assistant foreman of the
picking room and in February, 1908.
through natieeahle efforts he was
again given Il pIomotion this time be
ing made cFeaIaery foreman.
Last March Mr. Shaw was given
Iowa, Illinois and Misa.s-ri territory
in which to represent his house while
in the capacity OF travelling salesman.
His latest promotion came the first
of this month and is a glad bit OF
news to many friends here who are
interested in his advancement. which
has been little short of wonderful
though undoubtedly deserved, and that
he will prove the right man in the
responsible position to which he ha;
been elevated, is certain.

A QUARREL
OVER FENCE

All is not peace and harmony in
one neighborhood. Proof of the
fact came to light this morning
when c. E. Westerfield appeared
at the police court and asked that
a warrant for the arrest of Philip
Burgess, an aged neighbor, who,
Westerfield alleges, is the meanest,
cussedest man he ever saw.
According to the complainant,
Burgess, who lives at S303 Thorpe
street, trespassed on Westerfield' S
property yesterday and tore down
Westerfield's fence, which had
been put up to keep cattle off of his
place.
Mrs. Westerfield went out to
demonstrate with the intruder and
is said to have met with oaths, all
of which led into more trouble, and
when the woman attempted to put
the fence back in place again, her
husband alleges, Burgess pushed it
over on her. Burgess denies the
allegations.

they are employing the CHEAPEST
labor, paying as low as $3.50 a day,
and the highest wages that are paid
any common laborer in the lumber
mills are $3.50 for 10 hours work,
but there are only few that are
getting that amount. In the winter
time they generally cut the hours
from 10 to eight hours a day. This
leaves a man, who is working for 20
cents an hour, $1.60 a day land a
good many are only getting 17h
cents an hour. On these paltry
wages a working man is expected
to live and maintain family, and
pay SIS to $40 rent a month. Then,
if they dare to ask for raise in
wages, they are asked what they
are going to do with the extra
money, when $12 week would not
buy meat for some of their ugly
looking pet bulldogs.

WALKS BACKWARD IN
SNOW TO FOOL
POLICE

COLUMBUS, Feb. 1.-Two po-
licemen yesterday afternoon won a
long snow chase through several
miles of alleys and along railroads.
While officers waited for the front
door of his house to be opened,
Richard Alexander slipped out the
back way.
The police followed a devious
route through fresh snow, until the
tracks stopped suddenly. The
quarry, apparently. had captured
an airship. 1t was discovered that
Alexander had walked backward
in his own tracks. He was landed
in prison on an assault and battery
charge, preferred by his wife.

Editor The Press-There seems
to be a strong opposition on the
part of the business men and some
of the prominent taxpayers of this
city to the proposed raise in the
present wage scale of the city EN-
ployes. They seem to think that
working man ought to get along
nicely on 81 or $3.50 day, and be
able to save up little money for
rainy day. They are always harp
ing on the old song, that the house
wife OF the laboring man is too ex-
travagant, and that the present
high prices of meat are mostly due
to high living on the part OF the
working man; when they them
selves would not attempt to live
on less than $50 to 800 week.

this city is the lumber industry.

G. 3. Dennis, the contractor, took
the matter to court in an effort to

ing, and after inspecting it agreed
upon the order. A legal notice was
at once made out and served on
Dennis.
The suit of Dennis is due to the
holding up of the $4,000 estimate
allowed him few days ago by
City Engineer Ralston and the
board of public works. Council
man Leonard Funk of the First
ward, acting president of the city
council, had reason to believe that
If Dennis got this money he would
drop the fill and let the city fight
i out in the courts or finish the fill
to suit itself.
Rather than give Dennis the best
of it by this $4,000 Funk re-
fused to sign the warrant and the
money was not paid. 1t is believed
that the end of Dennis work on the
fill has been reached.
A writ of mandate was issued by
Judge J. d. Hinkle this morning to
G. B. Dennis and the Warehouse
and Realty company ordering the
city of Spokane to either pay the
S18.S66.52 balance due for com
pleted work on the Sprague avenue
fill or appear in court on February
16 and show why the bill has not

According to the complaint under
which the writ was issued the

BABY BORN In A
FRISCO STREET CAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 5.-A
guessing contest for the name of
the baby girl whose advent into
the world Monday night delayed
traffic on the Hayes street trolley
line is under way here. The child
was born at Fillmore and Hayes
streets, but as both those names
are more fitting to young gentle
men than to young ladies, it is not
likely that the baby will be called
by either of them.
The little one was born on a
Hayes street car and the arrival of
the baby tied up traffic on both
Hayes and Fillmore street lines
for many minutes.
The mother, Mrs. Annie Bar
mum, 65 Clara street, was taken to
a nearby hospital, where she and
the child were given attention.
Both are doing well.
