PARIS NOW r DARKENED
CITY OF LIGHT.

While the worst OF the flood at Paris
appears to be over, the effects of the
disaster probably VIII be felt acuteIv
for at least a year to come. Another
Food-that Of American dollars and
the roubles and guineas of other
tourists-wiII be missed this season
and the next. unless the French show
d marvellous activity in putting their
hotels, boulevards. and show-places 20

The immediate loss by destruction of
buildings and underground construc-
ton cannot compare in its 5otal with
that Of the San Francisco earthquake
and FIRE To that extent the financiers
and economists Of the world can take
heart. Last week they were trying
TO estimate the effect on the money
markets, and their conclusions were
lugubrious- All great disasters which
wipe out much visible property have a
long continued depressing effect, and
the New York stock market had It's
share OF this effect at the height of
the flood
As soon as the public works needed
TO repair damage are started, the prob
lem Of the 100000 unemployed and
destitute citizens of Paris will begin
TO solve itself Meanwhile. the usual
complaint OF tardiness in relief. where
relief ought to be of the <peediest, is
heard.

UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI
HAS JIU JITSU COURSE

New York.-If the lead set by the
University OF Missouri is followed jiu-
jitsu may soon be on the athletic cur
riculum OF all the hig colleges in the
United States. At present the Mis-
souri, varsity is the only school in the
land OF Uncle Sam teaching jiu-j jitsu
to its students. Six experts" recent
~ graduated and are getting ready
to make a sort of educational tour to
show the advantages Of the Japa-
ncse form Of wrestling. The athletic
Instructor at Missouri claims two ad-
vantages in jiu-jitsu The first OF
these is the health giving properties
OF the sport; the second is the use OF
self defense to which it can be put.
Two japanese instructors, T. Yo-
shida and G. Mizoguchi, are in charge
of the Missouri classes. Yoshida says
that Americans are Just as apt in
learning the tricks of the game as
the Japs. Indeed among the men,
bcrs of the iiu-iitsu class there are
at present some husky young west
orners who can throw the Japs every
time.

CANNON CONDESCENDS TO
SPEAK TO INSURGENTS

Washington Speaker Cannon is
showing some signs of unbending
toward the insurgents. For years he
has not spoken to Victor Murdock.
To others he has not spoken for many
months.
But recently the speaker has been
in a more forgiving mood. The other
day he got down out OF the chair and
went over to the vicinage Of Herbert
Parsons of New York, sat down and
talked in the most agreeable fashion.
Parsons looked naughty, but Uncle
joe spoke in kindly, fatherly tones,
and II seemed to have something OF
soothing effect on the New Yorker.
II amazed the insurgents. Norris of
Nebraska rushed over to Victor Mur-
dock and inquired anxiously If he saw
Alright or had somnambulistic
dream.
mo, you're awake all right. Uncle
Joe's scared" said Murdock. Not
alone did the speaker converse with
Parsons. but he talked in the most
pleasant fashion for 15 minutes with
Madison of Kansas, who is badly In
feeted with the insurgent germ.
Even the regulars are wondering
what has come over the speaker.

AAIIlA WALLA TO sow
MORE SPRING WHEAT

wana There will be more
seeding of wheat this spring In the
Walla walla valley this year than for
many years Fall seeding was cut
short by the early rains last year, and
there has been some freezing out OF
grain this winter. There is more seed
ing TO be done this year than for SO
years, according to farmers who are
authority on the subject
As TO the damage done to fall grain
by the freezes Of the winter Il may
be said that winter wheat has not
been damaged. but spring varieties
sowed last fall. have been hurt some-
what. Bluestem and Redchaff have
been frozen out to some extent, but
Turkey Red, Forty-fold and like va
rieties have come through the win
ter without a bit OF damage and there
Is every prospect that the crops OF
this variety are made" already, for
there Is more moisture In the ground
this spring than for many years.
Crop prospects are hard to esti-
mate. when II is taken into consider
alton that there is still much seed
ing to be done, and It cannot be fore
told how soon the spring will open
for seeding However. there is the
advantage of the extraordinary mois-
ture favoring tho spring sowing

sett said in outlining the preliminar-
les for the work to be started this
year:
we want Spokane to be beautiful,
sane, healthy and happy. We want
parks, boulevards, paved streets and
a scheme of public buildings that will
be credit to our people. We want
perfect water, sewage and garbage
systems We want anything that will
make Spokane a better place in which
TO live and with these we may trust
! implicitly that it will be populated
by the right kind of men and women
and become as great and strong as the
aggregate OF its citizenship. We
want to combine the beautiful and
the practical.
"In connection with these plans we
shall also begin a movement to bet
ter the condition of the ranchers and
other wealth-producers. We believe
that If the country tributary to this
city with the right kind of farmers,
whose lives may be made as comfort
able as possible. Spokane will take
care OF itself
''The committee to be appointed in
a few days will be divided into sub
committees on legislation, physical
development, municipal administra-
ton, commerce and economics, pub
tic buildings and civic art and exploit
tation, but will not be limited to any
one Improvement or class of improve
ments, We are more anxious to know
wherein Spokane is weak than where
in it is strong, so that we may build
accordingly"

OF health and compelling persons to
submit TO vaccination.
Whether ne really vaccinated his
victims is not known yet, but at any
rate he scraped the arms OF men,
women and children, put on some
preparation that caused inflamma-
lion and soreness, collected his so
cents and sought other patients.
Detective McGill was sent to look
for him and found a brisk young man
wearing a cap and carrying small
bag busy in tho Hunters Point sec
tion.
Board of health certificates and vac
e'uation scars made no difference TO
him. The city was full of smallpox,
he said the papers were suppressing
the facts and everyone must be vac
cinated
McGil took him to the station,
where he showed papers, alleged to be
forged, proclaiming him an officer
of the board Of health He said he
was a student In a. Chicago medical
college and was living at the Eagle
lodging house in Cooper Square. All
other information he refused.

CUINK PITCHER MAY
MAKE PENN VARSITY

Philadelphia.-The first chinese as
pirant for box honors on an inter-
collegiate baseball field is conceded
today by the University of Pennsyl-
vania student body to stand an excel

freshman nine.
The oriental pitchers name is
Frank vi Kin, and he has an assort-
ment of benders and speed that crit
les say will make him heard from be-
fore the end of the season.
He made his appearance when the
coaches called for candidates for the
first year team, and Immediately he
attracted the attention of the dia-
mond bosses. While lacking in con-
troll Frank has so much speed, the
coaches say, that he is destined to get
many "rah rahs" from the bleachers
when the season is under way.

such damage this year and expect
none; will be another month before

conditions are good. Ground was

all crops sown last fall.
