Gentlemen Your committee beg
leave to submit the following report as
to the condition of the County Jail and
County Court House.
Your committee thoroughly inspected
the Jail and beg leave to report that
everything presented clean and order
ly appearance. we call your attention
however, to one or two details which
would add to the convenience of the
building.
First-The cells need repainting.
Second Several Of the doors need
re-adjusting at present it requires the
use of an axe for the purpose of opening
them, this is a matter that should be at
tended to at once. In our opinion, the
prisoners are well provided for, and we
have only words of praise for efficiency
and faithfulness of the keeper in the
discharge Of his duties.
Your committee found everything
about the Court House in excellent COLI
dition and noted with satisfaction the
various improvements which the county
has lately provided. Chief Of which is
the erection Of the handsome fire-proof
vault in strict architectural harmony
with the main building. Your commit

papers Of the county have been placed
in these vaults with excellent facilities
for their inspection as well as safeguard
for their preservation.

satisfaction the completion Of system
of concrete walks around the Jail and

IL the truth were known, the proba-
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
Us many eases OF catarrh OF the stomach

Symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
"The affection may result from errors

siss. ss2. SO, Paid to Pensioners.

The pension roll OF the government
at the close OF last year showed de
crease OF slightly more than $4,000
pensioners. according to the annual
report OF the commissioner of pen
slons, just submitted 10 Secretary Bal
linger.
The same report shows that the
value OF the pension roll for the year
amounted to si5S.332.39l. a decrease
from the previous year OF s2,35o.i7S.
There still remain on the pension
roll s2l.0 S3 wards OF the government
despite the fact that during the yea
1000 pensioners died and nearly 3o"C
more were stricken from the lists fot
other reasons. During the period 29.o0c
persons were added TO the rolls
The number OF survivors OF the
Civil War on the pension roll at the
close of the year was 5G2.Cl5. a net re.
duction during the year OF 3l.345. The
total number OF survivors whose
names we're dropped from the roll Oh
account Of death was S5.3l2.
The total number OF soldiers and

We recommend the separation of the
whites and blacks as far as possible.
especially is this desirable at meal time
and during sleeping hours.
We found the sanitary condition of the
Aims House in much better state than
formerly; II could be improved in many
ways at very little expense.
A bath room should be installed and
the inmates be compelled to battle at
stated intervals.
For the health of the inmates a ply
stefan should visit the institution at
stated intervals and be held responsible
for any dangerous unsanitary condition
Of the premises.
From our inquiry we believe numer-
GUS depredations have been made upon
the growing timber Of the property. and
we recommend that the County Com
missioners employ an expert lumberman
to make an inventory of the timber and
ascertain its exact value, and that the
Commissioners take active steps to pre-
vent sny further depredations that have
been of SO much loss to the county in
the past. The crops this year have been
as follows
Corn-County receives ! crop-1000
bushels.
Potatoes County receivesk crop-500
barrels.
Tomatoes County receives 1 crop
3lh tons.
Wheat, (County's share) 81 bushels.
Fodder, tCounty's share) - stacks.
The farm is composed of two hundred
acres of woodland and two hundred acres
Of cleared land.
Upon the statement of Commissioner
Taylor and County Treasurer White we
report that the farm will pay more than
the actual running expenses for the cur
rent year. We recommend that any
surplus be used in the improvement of
the Aims House.
Under the new law the insane and
feeble minded of the county are to be
cared for by the State at State in
stitution. This law will bring about a
better condition at the Aims House and
will eliminate the expense caused by the
destruction of furniture and property by
the insane inmates. We recommend
that the saving in this former expense
be used to beautify and make comfort
able the rooms OF the inmates who re-
main. The levy shows thirty eight out
door pensioners.
There is an insurance of $4,000 on
houses and outbuildings.
In closing we thank Messrs. Taylor
and White for the information they
rendered in compiling this report we
also wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Atkin-
son for their aid, and we wish to say to
the taxpayers of Worcester County that
we believe these officials will give you a
conscientious and business-like admins
tration and that the poor at your Aims
House are fortunate in having such kind
hearted people as Mr.. and Mrs. Atkin-
son to care for them in their time Of
need.
Respectfully submitted.

BRIDGE EEMEN'S
GUESS WAS
RIGHT
No Such Thing as "Scien-
tific Engineering" on
Monroe Street Job.

1--WE will put our scientific en-
gineering up against the bridge
mems guess every time."-City En-
gineer mccartney.
This statement was made by the
city engineer after the bridgemen
walked off the Monroe street job
because the young engineers had
asked them to do something that to
them appeared to be a risk Of hui
man lives.
In the final outcome the bridge
mems practical experience seems
to have been the best guess" after
all. Nearly all of the large firms
that carry on structural iron work,
either in buildings or in bridges, are
practical men, who have learned the
business by actual experience as
skilled workmen. Engineers are
hired by these men at so much per
month, but in the case of the big
builders the engineer takes his or.
ders from the contractor, who
learned what he knows by hard
knocks.
Among the big builders of the
northwest who were once practical
structural iron workers themselves
are Whitlock & Sears, Seattle; Ger
rick G. Gerrick, Seattle, who raised
the steel for the Old National bank
building; Kelly & Atkinson, the
great bridge builders; McCrary &
Willard and William Oliver, Spo-
kane.
There has been no such thing
knokn on the Monroe street bridge
as scientific engineering" All the
guesswork on the bridge has been
by the engineers, as is shown by
the fact that the plan of construc-
ton has been changed three or four
times.
The two engineers on the Job,
Green and Kennedy. are both young
and inexperienced in undertakings
of this magnitude. Only few years
ago Engineer Green was employed
by the city of Spokane as common
laborer and now he is entrusted

Teeth Talk

The teeth are one of the most
important parts Of the human
anatomy, the care of which is
too often overlooked by many
people. They fail to realize
that on their teeth depends to a
large extent the good or bad
condition of the stomach. Ii
the teeth are In such condition
that they will masticate the
food we'll then the stomach is
likely to be in first class condi-
tior; on the other hand, II the
teeth are allowed to decay and
get In bad condition then the
food is not we'll masticated and
the result Is soon a case Of dys
pepsia and the resultant bad
health Of the entire system.

THE COUNCIL MUST
NOW TAKE A HAND

Public demand today is that the city council take the
further building of the Monroe street bridge hand and
either order the awarding of the balance Of the bridge by

work and demand that the mayor place competent in
their stead

OF child play by the city engineers office in the building
OF the Monroe street bridge should be terminated The
bridge Of the biggest undertakings of its kind ever
and the plan heretofore pursued of placing
engineers in charge of the work will bankrupt the city
if it is continued.
The city engineers office estimates the loss caused by
the collapse at $3.50 Former Chief Foreman of Con-
tructon Farney says that the loss is nearer $6OOOO
Councmen are being appealed to all sides to take
the bridge matter in hand and do something Action should

FIVE Of THE
!. .C0UC|LMEN
FAVOR Il
Mccartney Says There Is
No Change in His
Plans.

There is a strong probability that
the remainder of the work on the
Monroe street bridge will be done
by contract instead Of day labor, as
there is we'll defined feeling at the
city hall, particularly among the
councilmen, that he disaster yester-
day was due to the error In judg-
ment in having the dismantling and
construction done by day labor in
stead of contract.
"Will any change be made in your
plans, as far as doing the work by
day labor is concerned?" City En-
gineer MacCartney was asked this
morning.
There will be no change" was
his reply, until l receive some Or
der to that effect
The question will come up before
the city council at the meeting
next Tuesday night. and there ac-
tion of some sort will be taken.
Councilmen Gray. Nelson, Lam
bert, Mohr and Cartwright are in
favor of doing the work by contract.
Councilman Shaefer favors day
work because Of the city's expert
ence in other projects done by con-
tract, for example. the Sprague ave
nue. fill and the reservoir.
Councilman Gray said this morn
ing that he had been in favor of
contract work from the start and
this only reinforced his early opin-
ion. Councilman Nelson favored
the putting in of the abutments by
day labor and the completion of the
work. after it had reached high
water level, by contract Mohr said
this morning that it is not fair to
expect city engineer to be so YER
satile as to be equal in capability to
such specialists as bridge builders,
street constructors and sewer en-
gineers. Mohr explicitly states that
he does not censure MacCartney,
but that he believes a reconstruc-
tion of the city engineers depart
ment, putting one man at the head
of each department. and making the
city engineer advisory and active
head of the wholen umber, would
be advisable.
