THESE ARE THE REAL
MEN BEHIND THE GUNS

Down in the basement of the city
hall are a collection of faithful
workers in the public service. Their
names do not appear in the nsw-
papers often, because they are not
in politics-their sole mission is to
deliver the goods" And they do.
This department is called the
water construction and repair Of
flee, but as a matter of fact IT is
the active machinery of the water
department. Here all connections
with the water pipes are cared for
and the crews get their orders, like
wise the men that lay new mains,
make repairs or look after the
thousand and one other things at
tendant upon the operation of the
water plant. These men try to do
their duty and generally do. When
kicks come they are, as a rule, due
to the incompetence or lack OF
knowledge of the men overhead,
from whom the experienced men
below must take orders.
These are busy times in the
water construction and repair Of
flee, as shown by reference to the
figures. Since January 1 last, 1441
jobs of new water service installa-
ton have been handled, some of
these representing three or more
water services. During the month
of June alone 339 jobs were han
died and 412 meters installed.

SUPPORT
PRESIDENT
That's What Waggoner
Thinks Roosevelt's Occu-
patton Should be Now.

Here are some more opinions Of
Spokane citizens concerning the
question asked by The Press:
"What should Roosevelt do?"
D. F. Waggoner. "The first thing
which l think Roosevelt, as an
American citizen, should do is to
come out and stand flat footed as u
republican, absolutely, and support
Taft and his administration. Roose-
welt should solidify the republicans
by making a statement Of approval
of Taft's administration in every
manner, shape and form.
CAS- to his occupation or bust
ness, that is not for me to say. He
should continue to be good citizen
and take an interest in the welfare
of the country. He is a public
spirited man and should be willing
to help in any way he can. He
should first be a good, constructive
citizen"
Postmaster Edris: Theodore
Roosevelt should edit a politicaA
paper or write for magazine which
has a tendency toward politics. He
is competent authority upon all
political subjects and to my mind
could WELD the greatest good with
his pen. BY the means of the press,
people who cannot possibly hear
him speak may know his policies"
Judge AdoIph Munter: 'The work
of the work is so manifold and the
fact that Roosevelt has shown abil-
ity to succeed in SO many activities
makes it hard to decide what par
ticular work he should take up. He
could, however, exercise great In
fluence on the lecturep latform or
in the editorial room. I believe he
will engage in the activities which
he feels will be the greatest help to
mankind"

KILLED 4BY
BLUE VITRIOL

An investigation made by w G..
Davis, an inspector for the health
department, who reported to a
meeting of the health board this
afternoon, shows that little Rosie
Morrow, E1722 Eighth avenue,
probably came to her death from
eating blue vitriol instead of pois-
oned candy.
A sister of the dead child took
Inspector Davis to a vacant house
near their home, where it was said
the candy had been found. Instead
of candy a lot of loose blue vitriol
was found on the floor of the eel
lar and one piece had the appear
ance of having been bitten into.
Inspector Davis is convinced that
the child took of this vitroil in
stead of candy.

1000 LOADS Of
DIRT PER DAY

Between 500 and 1000 loads of
dirt are being deposited daily by
the team in the employ of the Hill
Paving Co. in the immense fill be-
ing made at the west end of the
Hangman creek trestle. Some Ia
holes have been cut in the floor of
the bridge by J. J. Mccormack, city
bridge foreman, through which the
dirt is dropped to prevent too much
of it depositing in one place and
thereby endangering the wooden
supports of the old bridge because
of slides.
The paving company will prob
ably supply the city with 10000
yards of dirt for the fill without
cost, merely for convenient dump
ing place.

BRIDGE
TROUblEW|TA
UNION LABOR

All further trouble with the union
bridge builders of the city over the
work on the Monroe street bridge
is at an end. and the men now en-
ployed for the bridge are exclus-
lively from the union.
The city tried to employ its
bridge builders at random, regard
less of the union, but found that the
class of help acquired in this way
could not deliver the goods in
pinches, and that when the real
bridge builders were needed the
union was the only place that could
supply them. 1t required two or
three years and a number of serious
accidents for the city officials to
learn this, but having finally &C
quired this knowledge, they are
now profiting by it and give the
union bridge builders full swing on
the job. The scale is IS per day. A
double crew of bridge builders will
be put to work on the job in a few
days.

HASSAM 0, K.
SAYS MERRILL

There are no legal tangles which
will prevent the city using Hassam
pavement in place Of asphalt, &C
cording to an opinion handed out
by Corporation Council Fred b.
Morrill,, which reached City Clerk
C. A. Fleming this morning. Flem-
ing put the question up to Morrill,
recently. asking him If it mattered,
legally, if the city asked for bids on
q patented article. There Is pat
ent penalty of 35 cents a square
yard on the mixer which must be
used in laying Hassam pavement.
This will clear the air for a while
and Hassam may eventually insinu-
ate it's way into many more city
contract Jobs. At present the con-
tractors are putting the new mater
ial in on two big jobs, the first on
Indiana avenue, between Division
and Ash, and the second on Astor
street, from Nora to Buckeye.

though he were baby. Twice he
wandered off the aisle and nearly
bumped into the seats.
Jeffries' private car will be at
tached to train leaving for San
Francisco at 1885 p. m. today. At
first it was decided to wait until
tomorrow, but plans were changed
about noon and Sam Berger decid-
ed to pull out tonight.
1t is probable that Jeffries will
stay in Dick Adams hotel at Oak
land for day or two to rest up
before he goes to his ranch near
Burbank, but his plans are not
definite yet and have not been an
nounced.

CHILD SEEMED TO HAVE
PREMONITION OF
DEATH

Inspector Davis has looked
into the death Of the child kill
ed by taking strychnine in
epson salts and makes grave
case against the clerk in the
north side drug store, who sold
the medicine. The mother of
the child can identify the clerk
that sold the poison, she says.
After tho mother and a wo-
man friend had passed over the
medicine to the sick child, tho
little one refused to take it,
saying that it tasted 90 bad.
The women sampled tho medi-
cine and said that It did taste
like quinine. Thinking 1t all
right, they forced the child to
take the dose, with the result
that death followed few
hours later. The little one
seemed to have a premonition
that death rested in the fatal
dose:

Technically, the location is de-
scribed as follows: Lots to IL, in

bounded by Pacific on the north.

The city Jail was inadequate
to house the "dips" arrested
