CONTRACTORS STATEMENTS.
A prominent contractor, who is
putting in several city paving jobs
at present, but who objected to the
use of his name on account of the
unpleasantness which would result.
both with the other contractors and
the city officials, said yesterday
afternoon:
"Why, they're throwing away bet
ter 'culls' on some jobs than the ma
jority of the bricks that are to be
used in Brownies addition. On the
Barber job, on Lincoln between
Fourteenth and Nineteenth. the city
inspector has ordered bricks
thrown out which are a great deal
superior to thousands of Hills"
Incidentally. the Barber concern
made a kick to Mccartney yester-
day against the autoceatic decis
ions and alleged incompetency OF
the inspector, and Mccartney prom
Used to remedy things. admitting
that the inspector had been too
severe.
The Hill people will save Just
$500 on the second quality brick
they are using" said another con
tractor to The Press. "The people
are paying for first quality and
ought to get it."
One incident will show how the
contractors are wide awake to the
facts relating to the brick which
will go into the work in Brownies
addition. A couple Of days ago,
while lunching at Davenport's, a
number of contractors were talking
shop" and one man made an in
sinuating remark about the quality
of the work being done by the Hill
company. He limited broadly at the
brick they We're going to put in on
the job, and his remarks were
rather resented by several present.
1t may result in more troubles and
explanations before long.
Meanwhile, the question of inter-
est to Spokane citizens is: VIII
this, as precedent, permit of the
use of second quality brick on other
jobs throughout the city ? And will
the citizens of Spokane get what
they pay for?

Joseph Murphy. who is combat.
ting the 100000 issue of park
bonds voted last May, has taken
the case into court through his at
torneys, Birdseye & Smith. He
has not asked for a temporary re-
straining order, as the corporation
counsel has agreed that the bonds
shall not be issued. until the out
come of the suit is determined.
The complaint alleges that the
election by which the bond issue
was decided was not legal for the
following reasons:
That the city charter did not
give power for the election as
held; that TIE election officials
were not properly sworn and quail
fled and that number of the
judges were appointed according to
the wishes of citizens who paid for
the services, instead of having i'm

TEN TONS SEED TO

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 30
The United States department of
agriculture is using this year ten
tons Of tree seed in restocking the
national forests. That means 300
million seeds. but the department
doesn't believe they will all germ
mate.
II all of the seeds should germ
mate. enough nursery stock will
result to plant 100000 acres Of
land. On tracts devastated by fire
some quicker method of restocking
the forest must be used. and some
of the seed will be sown broadcast,
while some will be planted with q
corn planter.
The seeds are obtained by q
squad of men who follow the lum.
bering camps and strip the seeds
from fallen trees, or climb the
trees and remove the cones with

MADRID, July 30.-The abrupt
severance of friendly relations OF
Spain with the vatisan brings King
Alfonso into the foreground of Eu
ropean politics today. The oppo
nents of the young monarch have
doubted the sincerity of the kings
anti-religious actions from the time
the church and state locked horns
in Spain. Today they praise the
kings stand and give him credit
rather than Premier Canalejas. who
still is held in popular suspicion.
Marquis Emilio De Ojeda, Span
ish ambassador to the vatican,
probably will return his credentials
to his holiness and start for Mad
rid today. This would mark the
severance of relations, which now
virtually are broken off through the
official announcement made by the
kings prime minister.
The action of the cabinet is ex-
pected to throw the kingdom into
turmoil.
