BRIEF COUNCIL MEETING
LAST TUESDAY EVENING
Discussing the Condition of the Water
System Occupied Most of the Time
Changes in Intake Ordered

Last Tuesday nigbs's council meet
ing was rather brief. Beyond hearing
the engineers report on the cost Of
making changes in the water system
and some desultory discussion along
the same line nothing was done.
The city engineer recommended
that the intake for the water system be
changed to the opposite side Of the
river from where it is at present located
and that for the first four hundred feet
16-inch low pressure pipe be used.
He estimated the cost of making this
change and putting in substantial in
take to be in round numbers $1,000.
He said the flush valves that had been
decided on to be put in at the low
places in the pipe line would probably
make it possible to get rid Of all the
trash, sand and other stuff that had got
ten into the pipes, and that these
valves would be put in as soon as pos
sible. He also reported the pipe line
where the same is on trestles to be in
very unsafe condition and recon-
mended that this be remedied before
winter sets in, else the line might be
broken at a time when it would be
more difficult to repair and when water
would be badly needed for fire protec-
ton.
Someone reported that complaint
had been made about dancing at the
Firemen's hall being kept up on Sat
urday nights until two hours after mid
night and that often the noise dis
turbed peoples rest. The marshal was
instructed to stop dancing at twelve
o'clock.

NJ. B. Hake in Arlington

That M. B. Hake, formerly in the
theatre business in this city, is still
prospering is quite evident. The fol-
lowing was taken from the Chronicle Of
Arlington where M. B. is now located:
Manager Graham Of the Gen Theatre
sold his show house to E. G. Robinson
last Saturday. Mr.. Robinson took i'm
mediate possession OF the popular show
house and M. B. Hake of the Scenic
Theatre will have the active manage
ment. Mr.. Hake will open the Scenic
only on Saturday and Sunday nights
from now on and the Gem will be open
all the week. The same high class
music and features that have made the
Scenic so we'll known and appreciated
will be in operation at the Gem and on
Saturday and Sunday nights there will
be extra good shows at both houses.
Mr.. Hake has made splendid success
of the Scenic and the Gem is fortunate
to be able to obtain his management.

Woman Who Sang at Grand Theatre
Charges Husband with Cruelty
Threatened Her Life

The Spokesman Review of Thursday
contained the account of sensational
divorce case between parties who are
quite we'll known in this city, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ira Lyle. Mr.. Lyle who up to
about three months ago, when he left
here, was employed by A. c. Barclay
as moving picture operator at the
Grand Theatre, His wife was also

illustrated songs.
According to the Spokane paper
Mrs. Lyle charges her husband with
having threatened her life on several
occasions and states that he was so
jealous that he forced her to return to
the operating room every night when
she left the stage. She further states
that he forced me to remain in his
sight constantly and there was days
when I was not away from him ten
minutes. I finally could endure it no
longer" says Mrs. Lyle, and throrg gh
the help Of my friends made my escape
and came to Spokane. Besides cruelty
Mrs. Lyle also charges non support.
She was denied the divorce as her hus-
band had not been served with a sum
mons.
The Lyles, during their stay in this
city, never appeared to get along and
it is reported that he threatened her
life while here.

CANDIDATE FOR SENATE
Progressive Candidate for U. S. Senate
Delayed in the East By Import
ant Business

]. A. Falconer, who will run for u.
S. Senator in the primaries on the Bull
Moose ticket, in discussing the polit-
ical situation recently said:
The primary election is less than
sixty days off, and I find myself tied
here at the National Capital, and will
be for some little time yet. wish l
could be in the state now and have
the opportunity of meeting the voters,
but I cannot because oil important leg
islation pending having to do with the
interests of our state.
Just a word to say that Progress
sives here in congress are supporting
advanced legislation irrespective OF
partisan lines. I believe the Progress
sives will have the balance of power in
the house and senate after the 1914
election. The democratic members
will be greatly reduced and the Pro-
gressives will win a number of con-
tests and increase their membership
here.
The Progressive party through
local and detail organization is laying
the foundation for victory in 1916.
Louisiana presents most interest
ing illustration. At the Democratic
Central Committee meeting in the
third congressional district, out of a
total OF IA members, 10 were present,
and six of those resigned to join the
Progressive party. 1t is stated that
the absent members favor the Pro-
gressive party. Those who resigned
are H. w. Price, L. c. Roger, Edwin
Broussard, John Marks, Sam Leblanc
and w. T. Peterman.
Straight Progressive tickets for
state, congressional, legislative and
county offices are provided for in

York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Kansas, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, Louisiana, Colorado,

Missouri, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana and California.
THE twenty Progressive congress
men here are enthusiastic in their
work, and have feeling akin to
friendships made in college days.
They fully appreciate their response
bilities; and the people of the coun-
try, more than the press has been will
ing to acknowledge, have appreciated
their services
There is a substantial increase in
progressive sentiment the country
over. Senator Beveridge told me some
days ago of the detailed organization
work in Indiana. I talked with Mr..
Roosevelt also, and he is firmly Of the
opinion that the Progressive party and
the people behind its principles will
win.
II am interested in the senatorial
contest in our state. am handi-
capped in the primary contest by re-
naming here. The reclamation ex-
tension bill, and several other impor-
tant measures make it mandatory that
remain. I desire to assist in their
passage.
II am asking my friends in the
state to become active in this contest.

nation and election, and with your
help and the help Of others, should

STEEL PLANT TRUSTEES
FILE ANOTHER SUIT
Directors of Company Would Prevent
Manager ROthert From Calling
Meeting of Stockholders

Another complication was added to
the Washington Steel & Iron Company
tangle when the company brought suit
in the superior court against E. H.
Rothert, one Of the officers, to prevent
him calling a meeting of the stock
holders to oust the present trustees, to
obtain an order canceling his owner
ship of $4,000 shares of the capital
stock and to recover 100000 dam
ages.
Rothert brought suit in the local
court recently to force the secretary Of
the company to call the meeting Of the
stockholders and the matter Of court
order to that effect is now pending.
The complaint filed Wednesday by
Attorneys Post, Avery & Higgins and
Jos. Rosslow alleges that Rothert has
failed to make good his promise to de.
velop a process for transforming mag
netic ore into high grade steel which
he claimed he could do for 80 cents a
pound less than by any other process.
In consideration Of his development
of the process, it is alleged Rothert
was to receive the $4,000 shares Of
stock, and 100000 shares of the treas
ury stock were sold for the develop
ment OF the plant. The company al
leges that he declared that $4,000
would be ample to insure the develop
ment of the process.
1t is declared that 10000 shares of
stock have been given to the promo
tiers Of the company, that 100000
has been paid into the treasury, $685.
600 has been advanced to Rothert for
his development work and $45 900
spent directly by the company for the
operation OF the plant at Leavenworth,
Washington.
Weary OF waiting for Rothert to de-
velop the process, the trustees dis
charged him as general manager OF the
company, it is declared, and demand
ed that he account for the expendi-
ture of 5000, of which it is alleged
he has never made showing.
Rothert has never claimed his 51O,-
900 shares of stock, but he has called
a meeting OF the stockholders to make
a change in the board of trustees, it is
alleged. The company demands
damages of 100000, asks a tenn
porary restraining order against the
holding of meeting, and perma-
nent order setting aside Rothert's
claim on the stock.

MINERAL PRODUCTION
EXCEEDS PAST YEARS
Department of the Interior Makes Report
on the Nations Industrial
Activity

The nations output of mineral pro-
ducts of various kinds is fair measure
of industrial activity. For several
months now the Department OF the
Interior, through the Geological Sur
vey, has been issuing its final statistics
of the 1918 mineral production which
confirms in detail the preliminary esti-
mates issued early in January for the
principal minerals. In the large major
ity Of cases these authoritative figures
tell in one way or another the same
story of industrial prosperity. In coal
production the increase has been gen
eral, and it is this very fact that serves
as an unmistakable index of general
health in the industrial world. But as
state after state is shown to have had
its banner coal year-West Virginia,
Illinois, Ohio, Kentuckey, Alabama,
Virginia, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Mon
tana, Utah, and Pennsylvania in both
bituminous and anthracite, the record
becomes spectacular. Ohio for in
stance had its floods, yet there was
substantial per cent increase in coal
output, and the miners averaged more
working days in 1918 than in 1912.
Twelve other states showed increases
varying from 8 per cent in Iowa to 10
per cent in Indiana and over IS per
cent in Washington, and only Colo
RADIO, Maryland, North Dakota, Nevada,
Idaho, and Missouri show decreased
output, the Colorado labor troubles ex-
planning the only significant decrease.
In a similar way, the figures of coke
production gives large increases, and
coke, it may be noted, is step nearer
the metal industry. Petroleum pro-
duction in 1913 exceeds all records,
an increase of 25 million barrels and
70 million dollars over the 1912 re-
turns.
In metal mining, the iron and the
zinc mines had a banner year, while
gold, silver, lead and copper showed a
decline in many of the largest produc-
ing states. Structural materials on the
other hand exhibit marked gains almost
without exception. Thus 1913 was
the banner year for cement, which
gains more than / per cent over 1912
and record outputs are also shown for
lime, building sand and gravel, sand
lime brick, and glass sand. Other
mineral products for which 1913 was a
record breaking year, are bauxite and
aluminium, sulphuric acid, feldspar,
mica, pottery, and tale and soapstone,
while substantial increases are reported
from gypsum, phosphate rock, abras-
ives, barytes, slate, and salt. These
production figures all express we'll
maintained activity in mines, smelter,
furnace, and mill and prove that the
American people are utilizing more of
the Nations great natural resources
than ever before. A few weeks later
when figures are at hand for all of the
mineral products, it is expected that
1918 will be found to have overtopped
both 1912 and 1907 which have hith-
erto held the record.
