 HEALTHIEST OF CITIES

SPOKANE, Mar. 8.-Health Of fcer ]. B. Anderson has compiled statistics on the strength Of which he makes the claim that Spokane has the lowest death rate of any city in the United States. A strict and comprehensive campaign ot health and sanitation, waged by city officials during the last few years, IS responsible, in part, for the showing Dr. Anderson's findings are based on reports of health officers in nearly 100 cities of the United States. Spo- kane's death rate for 1912 was S.47 per 1000 of population. The tabu- lation classifes cities into siN groups. as follows: Cities over 500,- GOO. cities between 100000 and 50O,- GOO. between 100000 and 300,0O0, be tween 100000 and 100000, between 50.O0O and 100000 and under 500O0 Spokane's death rate is lower thar that of any city in any class. Off cial sanitary efforts here have beer supplemented by volunteer cleanup days fostered by civic organizations and participated in by citizens gener ally.

PIONEER CROSSES
 THE UNKNOWN DIVIDE kE-o.. S..ndnr nailu !
(From Sundays Daily.)

Yesterday afternoon at about l:OO o'clock another pioneer answered the summons to cross the great divide in Robert Dougherty, the end taking place at Mercy hospital in this city from causes that were pronounced as a general breaking-down of the machinery of his human frame. He had been in ill health for many months, and in the hope of prolong- ing his life he was brought to the city only last Wednesday to receive medical attention, but which proved unavailing.
 The deceased was a man of ex- ceptional personality. Coming to the west in the very early sixties he served the country faithfully and fearlessly as a soldier in the famous California Volunteer column. After the service expired he located in the mining camps adjacent 10 Pres colt and for nearly a quarter of a century had been identified with the Bradshaw mountains as a mining operator.
 Retiring in manners, he was how ever, one of the most genial of men, and to which was associated dis position so kindly that made him a host of friends wherever he was known. Another beautiful attribute of his long life in this section was his upright relationship with every one, and the finger of dishonesty or any unfair dealing could not be pointed toward him. A splendid man has been called away. and his death will be learned of with sin cere expressions of sorrow He was a native of Iowa and aged about 6S years. Surviving is son of Los Angeles, and after the latter has been heard from the funeral will be announced.

make part of this report as though fully written herein, a statement, under seal, from the State Auditor, showing the items, number of war rant, amount, etc, to verify this, and a certificate from the Secretary of the Board of Control, showing that no bids were ever received or written contractS entered into with the corporation, as required by law.
 The Governor claims S25,0OO and Superintendent Sims Sl0,000 have been saved by their emergency me thod of purchase and conduct of the prison. A careful scrutiny of the statistics in this report, together with the state warrants paid and pending, drawn on the Prison Fund for the nine months of 1912 of en- ergency buying in comparison with the previous nine months shows that the last nine months of operation cost $6S,62956 against S6S,S48-03, a saving in the net cost of $248.H- This saving disappears entirely when the per capita cost is considered and would show a loss of $11,OOO.OO, with the same number of inmates as the preceding nine months. It is obvious that this saving of S218.H can be further increased until the total cost of the institution is elim- mated By creating additional "hon- or men"
 We quote from the report of the Board of Control,
 STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
 The affairs of the Industrial School have been pursuing the even tenor of their way"
 We have under consideration report made by Charles R. Osborn, i Secretary of the Board of Control, to the Governor ,on October Eth, 1912 Charges had been made to the Governor in regard to conditions at the school and Mir Osborn was sent to investigate. In August, three convicts were sent to the school from Florence to act as cook, tailor, and band-master and music teacher to the pupils Their conduct and also the conduct of the Superinten- dent and Matron of the school, as  we'll as the state of demoralization existing among the boys and girls, was to be investigated. The Secre- tary reported that the conditions were as charged. The Governor al lowed two of these convicts to re main over a month after it had been called to his attention, and the Sup , erintendent was permitted to remain until December lst, when he was al lowed to resign, instead of being summarily discharged as the condit- ions warranted And the employee of the school, who had the manhood to report these improper conditions was discharged at once for doing his plain duty.
 We find that the Auditor, although under the law, member of the Board of Control, is never consulted in regard to the management of the institutions or the purchasing of sup plies. The Board is practically one-man affair, and to remedy this condition, we are today introducing a bill creating a Board of Control, consisting of three elective state off cers, directly responsible to the people We have made these the Governor of the State, because he is, the chief executive officer, the Audi tor to scrutinize the accounts, and the Attorney General in order that the Board may know the law.

Use of Sprays Discussed.

Use of Sprays Discussed.
 The question of use of sprays in mines has long been before the law makers and at last session when the code for the mine inspector was adopted the question was disposed of by saying where necessary sprays should be used In House bill sixty three introduced in the House by the mines and mining committee il is written into the law that all pow CT drills used in mines shall be equipped with sprays. The bill it is said is introduced at the insistence of the labor people. This was the one point that was hard to settle at the time the mine code was adop- ted and had been subject of great dispute in the commission which drafted the mining code and submit ted it to the legislature.

Indeterrninate Sentences.

Enough was brought out in con nection with the indeterminate sen tence subject however to give mo- tice that there IS a great diversity of opinion. Representative Lynch would have the law fixed so that its use would be optional with the judge. A sentence of positive term might be given a convicted person or the indeterminate sentence used. In this for once in the history of the house Representatives Lynch and Brooks agreed and the fact was not ed. Representative Whipple believed in the indeterminate sentence law and declared that in his judgment it had brought more favorable com ment from the eastern press on the new State than any act of the past legislative sessions. He would fav- or a law giving judge the right to make a sentence from one day to life
