TO CONSIDER
NEED Of A
CITY MARKET

A discussion of the need of q
first class municipally-owned mar
ket will be held by the city coun
Gil at it's meeting next Tuesday
night.
The matter came before the city
council last night in communica.
tion from Mayor Pratt in which he
urged the erection of a city market
building as protection against the
high cost of living in Spokane. BY
bringing the necessities of life di
rect from the producer to the con
sumer these things could be had
cheaper and resultant benefit fol
low all around.
The mayors communication bore
out the attitude of The Press, which
has advocated city market build
ing for the last few months. The
mayor, having investigated the cost
OF living in this city, came to the
same conclusion that The Press
reached in its researches, that the
cost of living here, through the ex
cessive profits of the middle mer
and the control of the retail trade
OF the city by one association ol
another, can only be put on the
right basis of competition by the
building of a city market.
Councilman Ostrander wanted
the matter referred to a special
committee. On the suggestion OF
Councilman Funk, who wanted i'm
mediate consideration before the
whole council, it was referred tC
the committee of the whole to be
brought before the meeting of the
committee. next Tuesday night.

the men.
The hall was lined with a strong
array of friends of the workingmen
who were on hand to plead the
cause Of labor.
But no oratory was necessary, as
Councilman Funk arose after the
reading of the message and moved
to grant the increase and ordered
the corporation counsel to draft an
ordinance to that effect. This mo-
alton prevailed without opposition,

24.-The story Of how he died of
thirst 10 written on the sun-scorch-
ed pages of diary found beside
the skeleton of Carl Sunne, a young
Norwegian, in the Amargosa desert,
and brought here today by Charley
Lee, an Indian trader. The mys-
terious disappearance of sunne has
been worrying the officials Of this
section ever since a search was
started last July, at the request Of
the Norwegian consul in New York.
The diary tells how Sunne start
ed into the desert prospecting, and
how he lost his way.
The first pages are full Of hope
and reflect his brave spirit.
But after his scant water supply
gave out and the dry heat of the
desert began to weaken him, he
soon realized the hopelessness of
his situation. He struggled on and
on, however, and for four days
forged ahead without one drop OF
water to moisten his parched lips.
The last entries show that he
lost his mind, and finally his pencil
produced merely a weird scrawl
that evidently is the product Of a
delirium.
The diary and such other effects
as made the Identification Of the
skeleton possible will be sent to
the Norwegian consul in New York.
