WATCH FOR SENSATIONAL
FACTS ON CITY PAVING CONTRACTS

Do you know how the paving con-
tracts given out In this fair city Of
Spokane are ribbed up and how
they are awarded to the favored
contractors?
Do you know that under proper
conditions a few influential prop
erty owners can force several hun
dred taxpayers not SO influential
into paying huge assessments for
improvements of streets?
Do you know that seven men
forced the Canno Hill paving dis
trict upon the city, and by their In
fluence compelled nearly one thou
sand property owners to accept an
improvement which they did not
want, and for which they are being
forced to pay even before the I'M

Do you know that work was
started on the Cannon Hill job after
legal action was started In the

Of
NUMBERING
HIS WIFE
!. w. Mcdowell Arrested in
This City To-
day..

Accused of having murdered his
wife at their homestead near
Springston, Idaho. a week ago. J.
w. Mcdowell, a salesman Of the
Minneapolis Threshing Machine
Co.. was arrested in Spokane this
morning and is now held at the city
jail pending the arrival of Sheriff
Bailey of Occur d'Alene to take him
back to Idaho to face the murder
charge.
Mrs. Mcdowell was found dead
in the little homestead cabin Of the
McDowells by the 18 year old son
Elmer a week ago, having either
SO it is alleged-been poisoned or
choked to death by her husband.
At the time the death was discov-
cred a note was found lying by the
woman's side which said that she
was tired of living in this sold and
sinful world and that while the
earthly parting was said, the meet
ing in the hereafter would be sweet.
Suspicion that the woman had
not committed suicide was aroused

was found in the cabin, and at the
coroner's inquest the son pointing
an accusing finger at his father and
declared that he was murderer.
The son. Elmer. told that he and
his father had left the cabin early
the. morning that the tragedy was
discovered and that after going a
short distance down the trail the
father made an excuse to return,
rejoining the boy shortly afterward.
When Elmer returned home that
evening he found his mothers dead
body lying upon the floor. with the
note nearby. The theory advanced
by the police is that Mcdowell
strangled his wife Sunday night
and returned the next morning to
place the evidence which would
point to suicide.

NEED OF ORGANIZED
FOREST FIRE PROTECTION
AMONG PRIVATE OWNERS

Washington, Sept. 27.-One of
the lessons which will finally be
drawn from the trying experience of
the present forest fire season, in the
belief of officials of the United States
department of agriculture, is the
need of wider organization among
private owners of timber to safe
guard their holdings.
1t is pointed out that already in
the northwest. both on the Pacific
coast and in Montana and Idaho.
timberland owners have formed
themselves into associations which
assess the members on an acreage
basis and thus meet the cost OF main
tanning a regular patrol and fire
fighting organization. Only by get
ting together can private owners
tion. for fire is no respector of
boundary lines and the man who un-
takes to keep it out of his own tim
Der will want ii kept out of his
neighbor's too. Whenever possible
the governments forest officers CO.
operate with the force put in the
field by the associations. so that the
employees of the government and
those of the private owners are
handled practically as unit in
fighting the common enemy.
This cooperation IS advantageous
to both sides. Protection of the
national forests necessarily carries
with it good deal of protection of
adjoining or interior holdings. IL
the private owners everywh, re
shoulder their reasonable share of
the burden, the public would gain
both through more general forest
conservation and through relief from
the necessity of paying for the pro-
lection of private timber in order to
protect its own.

SUGAR INTERESTS TO
DISTRIBUTE MILLIONS

Denver, Oct Figures COM
piled by the Great Western Sugar
company indicate that the beet crop
this fall will be worth to the farmers
approximately $4.125. 900, and q like
amount will be paid for labor and
supplies. making $S,250.00O to be
distributed by the sugar interests.
The beet crop will begin to move
to several factories in the state to-
day. Several factories are already
slicing, and the plants In Northern
Colorado, the last to get under way.
will begin their campaign October
10th. 1t is estimated that Colo
RADIOS crop this year will amount to
100000 tons. Manufactured into
sugar It will produce about 10000
600 pounds. or about enough to sup
ply the people OF Denver for year.
The SanIuis Valley Beet Sugar
company has been organized with a
capital OF $1.5o0.00O to build fac
tory worth 100000 at Monte Vista.
II is said this concern will be inde-
pendent of the sugar trust. as the
Great Western Sugar company Is
sometimes called. The capacity of
the new factory will be 600 tons per
day, and 1t will be ready to handle
next falls crop.
There are 1900, acres OF virgin
ground In beets In the Pleasant VAL
ley. Immediately northeast of Gree
ley. averaging better than the beets
grown in the older districts. Some
or the newer ground will yield 10
tons OF beets to the acre this year.
Az the company is paying SIS per
ton for the beets. this indicates a
gross return of $125 per ere to the
growers.
