Council Proceedings

The appointment of O. B. Hayes as
police Judge was made by the mayor
and confirmed by the council.
A new lease for the parking strip"
between the city and the railroad com
pany was brought to the attention OF
the council and the mayor authorized
to execute the same.
The ordinance providing for bond
of $3.50 for the city attorney was read
and passed.
An ordinance repeating an ordinance
for the appointment of a water and
street commissioner was read for the
first time.
The purchasing agent was instructed
to get bids on the city printing for the
year.
Owing to the fact that hardly a year
passes that the city is not called upon
to pay for medical services rendered to
destitute persons, the attorney was in
structed to prepare new ordinance
adding the duties of city physician to
the health officers job.
Trouble arose over the kalsomining
of the city hall which was authorized
two weeks before. 1t developed that
the painters had secured the contract
about week afterwards, but as they
had not gone to work, Councilman
Woldenburg wanted them fired and
other workmen employed to do the
job. He succeeded in getting mo-
ton thru to this effect. Later it was
reconsidered and the purchasing agent
instructed to inform the painters they
could keep the job if they started the
work Immediately and kept at it until
it was finished.
No new resolutions. What's the
matter?

between good and bad companies.
Word was received by the Public
Service Commission this week that the
number of jitneys in Seattle have in
creased by over 100 in the past three
weeks. There are now nearly 700 OPP
Grating in that city. The Jitney"
said Seattle public utility company
man this week, is forcing solution
of the problem Of rate making. Ultl-
mately it will put the science of rate
making on a zone basis, so far as ur-
ban interlacements are concerned. In
and around urban centers there are
well-defned zones of travel, which
ought to be recognized by ate-makers.
The iitney, believe, will make these
zones so many bases for rate making"
Secretary Of State l. M. Howell is
receiving scores Of calls for the work
entitled The Beauties of the State Of
Washington" edited by Harry F.
Giles, deputy commissioner OF the
State Bureau of Statistics and Immi-
grafton. The book is one of the finest
pieces OF publicity on Washington ever
published. 1t is intended for tourists
and to attract sightseers. Subjects
are handled mainly from a scenic van
tage point, though commercial oppor-
tunities and agricultural possibilities
are given noteworthy attention. The
art work of the book is exceptional and
makes Of it an attractive addition to
any library.

sunerstitions of Siam.

In Siam all babies receive the same
name at birth This name is Dang,
which means red, and it is the only
designation vouchsafed the newcomer
for some months. For several years
they wear no clothing except perhaps
string of beads or bracelets or ank-
lets as ornament at child's birth a
cord that has been blessed by the
priests is tied round the outside of the
house and three balls of rice are
thrown in lucky directions by three
old women, who are always present at
such a time and whose business it is
to solicit for the little one the patrO-
mage and protection of guardian an
gels. The cord and the scattering
about the premises of a certain kind Of
native fruit are supposed to be eflica-
cious in preventing the entrance of evil
spirits.

Hare hunting is undoubtedly more
antique sport than the chase of the
fox. Xenophon pursued it with de-
light in ancient Greece, and in Britain
the hare was for centuries looked upon
as a far more worthy quarry than the
fox, which. until the time of Queen
Elizabeth and even later, was regard
ed as mere vermin. Nicholas Cox, au-
thor of "The Gentleman's Recreation"
work on sport, published in 1877.
writes thus enthusiastically: "As Of
all chases the hare makes the greatest
pastime, so it is a great delight and
satisfaction to see the craft of this lit
tie poor beast in her own self preserva-
ton And it is to be admitted that
i'm those shifts and expedients which
afford to lovers of hounds the true de-
lights OF hunting the timid hare is at
least fertile as any known beast of
chase in amy part of the world.-Lon-

Spokane Will Boost Inland Empire

The publication by the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce of booklet Of
testimonials, written by successful farm
ers in the Inland Empire, was one OF
the plans decided upon at the immi-
grafton and travel conference held in
that city on February II.
The first issue will be at least 10,-
900, copies and will contain about four
letters and several illustrations from the
vicinity Of each Inland Empire com
munity which has identified itself with
the movement, according to former
governor M. E. Hay, chairman Of the
immigration committee.
In addition each locality taking part
in the campaign is to issue a folder of
its own. from 1000 to 1000 words in
length, containing similar testimonials,
illustrations and from 1000 to 1000
words of descriptive matter. Illustra-
tons Of prosperous farm scenes, cream
cries, schools, churches and farmers
elevators are especially recommended.
Each community interested is also
urged to form its own entertainment
committee, so that when visitors from
the east arrive in Spokane, and express
an interest in any particular locality,
they can at once be sent on with ref
erences to a responsible entertainment
committee.
In addition to these features, it is
planned to send personal representa-
tives from various Inland Empire dis
tricts to the localities in the east from
which people are expected to- emigrate
to the Inland Empire. A portion Of
the railroad fare Of such representatives
will be paid by the Spokane Chamber
OF Commerce.

The idea of regulating government
activities, both state and national is
meeting with popular favor and there
seems to be no good reason why pub
lie officials should not be required to
deliver the goods" or get off the job.
If regulation is good for private bust
ness, it would be great thing for
government.

STATE CAPITAL NEWS

A bill that has a joker concealed in
it, according to railroad men, is the
one introduced by Representative Win
ston permitting cities to regulate pas
senger and freight carrying by other
means than railroads.
From present indications the legis-
lature will get thru with its work and
adjourn one day earlier thon the time
limit for adjournment The business
of both houses is sufficiently well in
hand to permit OF this and many Of the
Legislators favor it.
Another bill that many speak Of as
partaking of a freakish nature is one
introduced by Senator Wells proposing
constitutional amendment to allow
the governor to appoint supreme court
judges for 18-year terms with retire
ment provision at the age of 90.
Due to newer demands for relief
from the burdensome practices of some
of the public utility corporations OF the
state, the work of the grain inspection
department will likely be shifted to the
state agricultural department, where it
properly belongs.
Abolishing direct initiative and max
ing IS per cent of voters signatures
instead of ten necessary for initiating
laws to the Legislature is the purport of
House Bill No. 212. 1t is one OF the
sporadic upheavals against the initiative
law which, from indications, will be
squelched.
With the date for the filing Of bills
past. the legislature has this session
AIS bills less than were filed up to and
including the fortieth day OF the last
session. At the session two years ago
1869 bills had been filed at the end
of the fortieth day as compared with
ga at this session.
Among the novel and noteworthy
bills filed is one by Senator Brown, the
purpose Of which is to get the British
Columbia government to establish a
three-mile zone along the international
boundary in which liquor may not be
sold. With the Washington prohibi-
ton law going into effect bootlegging,
it is declared, would be minimized by
such a zone across the boundary.
Radical changes are foreshadowed
in the present irrigation laws in an en-
actment now being considered. The
law as it now stands favors enterprises
of doubtful character, and it is pro-
posed to at least make it possible for
legitimate irrigation companies to give
themselves good standing before the
public. One of the prime features of
the law is to give an irrigation com
'pary persisscn+o apply to the public
service commission for what amounts
to a certificate of good faith on the
part OF the promoters. This would
give such company the confidence of
