To the Public.
Editor PrOspector:

Editor PrOspector:
 An article which appeared re- gently in The COmmOner has lead many of the residents of Valdez to the conclusion that the salary of the janitor of the public schools had been recently reduc- ed, to the serious detriment of the holder of that position. As 1 have been questioned so many times regarding this matter I feel that in justice to the school board the matter should be presented truth fully to the. public, and desire to state that Mr. H. M. DeLano, the janitOr of the public schools, made application to the school board for the position at a salary fixed by himself. His application was accepted and for nearly two years past he has drawn the sal ary without any reduction what ever, and any statement to the eff feet that the salary has been re- ducrd is absolutely false.
 Respect fully,
 C. II. WILCOX.

new THEATER
OPENS NEXTWEEK
Handsome New Play House
on Heron Street Is Almost
Completed.

The transformation of the Boston
block into one of the finest theatre
buildings in the state has been ac-
complished by Architect Geo. B.
Purvis is a remarkably short time,
and it is now announced that the new
play house will be ready to open on
February q. Architect Purvis has
had 81 years experience in building
theatres on the Pacific coast, and this
house shows the result of that ex-
perience.
No reasonable expense has been
spared in its construction in order to
make the house safe and attractive
by Mr.. Purvis, acting under the in
structions of Edward Dolan, the pro-
prietor. The house will seat HOO peo-
pie, and has ten dressing rooms, in
which so people can be taken care Of.
The stage is what is termed, "slow
burning construction.
Every seat in the house commands
a view of the stage from wing to
wing, and there is not a post or COL
umn in the building to obstruct the
view. Seven exits provide for the
speedy emptying of the house. An
art glass front will extend over the
entrance, and the house will be car
peted throughout. A ladies parlor
will be finished in rose pink and ivory,
and a smoking room for men open off
the balcony and are COSTLY furnish
ed.
The ceiling decoration is of sky
effect, with cupids among the clouds,
the walls are finished in ivory green
and gold, and the woodwork in ma
hogany finish. A large dome in the
center of the ceiling insures ample
ventilation, and, in fact, nothing has
been overlooked that would assist
in making the building safe and san
itary.
The new house will be named "The
Weir," after the family name of Mrs
Dolan, and the son of the proprietor
Edward Weir Dolan.

LUMBER STRIKE
BEING PLANNED
Industrial Workers Preparing
to Repeat Attempt Of
Last Spring.

SEATTLE, Feb. 15.-Cdmplete de-
moralization of the lumber and log
ging business of the state of Wash
ington, starting with statewide
strike in all logging camps and lumber
mills on May /, will be attempted by
the l. w. w. To prevent, If possible,
a recurrence of the fizzle that char
acterized the strike of last spring,
national l. w. w. leaders will be in
direct charge of the campaign. These
facts are given by Joseph J. Ettor,
member of the general executive com.
mittee Of the I. w. w., who is in
Seattle.
I'VE will attempt to paralyze the
lumber industry Of the Puget Sound
country, have every laborer connect
ed directly or indirectly with the
business join our ranks and inaugu-
rate a strike that will force the mill
owners and lumber barons to pay
better wages, improve conditions and
work the men shorter hours" said
Ettor. "The l. w. w. has been work
ing on plans for general strike for
the past year and we think that the
time is now ripe to order a walkOut
of all men who are employed in this
district. In all, we expect at least

City Council kenews South
Aberdeen Saloon License
After Discussion.
STREET CONTRACTS LET
Report on Footway on Bridge
Shows Large Travel. No
Police Auto.

The South Aberdeen saloon was
granted a renewal of it's license by
the city council Thursday night after
strenuous opposition. The license
committee reported in favor of the
license after having studied condi'
tions in the section, where it is said
blind pigs now flourish. Fraser and
McCaw led the opposition, taking the
position that the saloon was without
the saloon limits, and that to grant
the license would be a violation of the
ordinance which prescribes certain
limits within which saloons may op.
crate. The renewal was granted
with the understanding that an or
dinance would be introduced fixing
such limits in South Aberdeen, by
a vote of to S.
The second application of the
Board of Trade saloon for renewal
of license was refused, owing to the
disorderly manner in which the place
was conducted.
On motion of Pearsall, the health
officer was directed to look after a
pig sty on Portland Heights, said to
be maintained in very unsanitary
way.
The report of Engineer Ewart was
filed showing the traffic over the free
footway on the O-W. railroad bridge
By actual count 22O5 persons crossed
the bridge in one day, of "a hours,
which would be at the rate of 31a
mills toll, the city's portion of the
expense of operation being $3.50 a
month.
The petition for the Improvement
of Mill street was refused, on the
majority report of the street COM
mittee.
Following street contracts were
awarded: Barber Asphalt Co., i'm.
provement of Market street and First
street; Grays Harbor Construction
Co., sidewalks on Market and Hume
streets; Haukli & Hegg, improvement
of Hume street.
The following petitions were refer
red: For extension Of West Second
street and Railroad avenue; for in
cline to sidewalk in front of Yves,
& slade Grocery Co. warehouse ant
of DR.. Canterbury for permission tC
grade the street near his property

MAY NOT RAISE SALARY

ty commissioners may hire experts
to make plats Of city property under
special contracts, is the statement
made by the state tax commissioner
in a letter to w. H. Reid, chairman
of the Pierce county board of county
commissioners. The tax commission
agrees that the assessor cannot hire
competent men at $3.50 day to dc
this work, but says under the law that
$3.50 a day is the limit deputy as
SCISSORS can be paid. Therefore the
commissioners will have to have the
work done by contract.
