ON PAVING PLAN

PROPERTY OWNERS IN POLK

Favored Also by Council Members and
VIII Probably be Adopte1-Bids
Will be Considered Monday Night

night considering the proposed Polk
street paving were overwhelming in
favor of adopting Spokane bi,umas as
the material that would be recon-
mended to the city council as most
meeting the desires of tlic people of
the district. The junket committee
composed of M. P Miller, +. A. David,
and Harry Whittier, who had gone to
Spokane to investigate the various
kinds cf paving laid there returned and
ed mC st favorable There had been
some sentiment in favor of bitulithic
but owing to the cost if was decided
to favor cheaper pavement.
The city council was in session
last night but deferred action on awrd-
ing the contract until a meeting Mon
day night. The council will then take
the matter up and it is understood
council members are largely in favor
a
strong sentiment among the property
owners of the district for 24-foot
paved street instead of 80 feet as pro-
posed in the specifications, but it is
not believed the change in width can
be made at this time.
The Spokane bitumas bid was filed
by Wycoff e Green Of Spokane. 1t
calls for five-inch concrete base with
a one and one-half inch top. The fig

bitumas on a cash basis to be S1.S7 per

der bond basis it would be $1.90 per
yard, totalling $12,03S.73. This includes

ACTIVE STEPS
FOR Big SHOW
PREMIUM LISTS FOR COMING
NORTHWEST LIVE STOCK SHOW
CARRIES LARGE AMOUNT
Plans for the Approaching Show Have
Been Completed and Officers in the
Field Working up Exhibits

LEWISTON, July 17.-(Special) -
Live Stock show at Lewiston, No
vember 29-December a., will contain
$4,000 in premiums, this fact sug-
gesting the magnitude of this eXhibi-
tion which is given under the auspices
of the Northwest Live Stock associa-
ton, and which in four years has
grown to rank in standard with the
three other great live stock shows of
the United States-The Chicago Inter
national, the Kansas City Royal and
the Denver shows.
Secretary Smith of the Northwest
Live Stock association has provided
a preliminary statement of the 1915
premium list showing the wide range
of classification and the sums to be
allotted in all classes. In the horse
division are Shires, Belgians, Clydes-
dales, Percherons, Grades, Saddle,
Driving, Standard, Army, and Thor
oughbreds. In each of these classified
tions, six to eight premiums are award
ed In dairy lines the exhibition is
again to give much prominence with a
view of encouraging this industry
Jerseys ,Holsteins, Guernseys, Ayr
shires Grades, and Milking Shorthorns
are included in the classifications. The
latter breed has recently been added.
The prizes in dairy lines run from $25
first to $40 for third ,and the sweep
stakes dairy COW will receive $100. In
the beef classification and in the pure
bred classification on cattle, many hun
dreds of dollars are to be allotted, and
representation in the premium list for
sheep.
The sheep classification embraces
Cotswold, Lincolns, Shropshire, Ok
ford, Hampshire, Rambouillet. The |
advices received by the live stock as
sociation show that there is much in
terest among growers in the fat cat
tie, fat swine and fat sheep depart
ments this year, and with improved
breeding and feeding methods the COM
petition promises to be stronger than
any past year. The first prize on car
lots of cattle will be $500; I'd, 5000;
Sd, $780, In swine, the first car lot
prize will be $3.50; I'd, $3.50; Sd, $780,
In fat sheep, the first prizes will be
$3.50; I'd, $3.50; Sd, $100.
Secretary Smith of the ASSOCIATION
is now in the field comforting with
stockmen and breeders, and has re-
ceived such encouragement as to JUS
tify a prediction that the annual show +:
will far surpass in all particulars the {
past exhibition. He is finding that
stockmen and farmers now look upon
the exhibition as their institution and {
one to be encouraged in every way '
possibly on account of the influence S
that it is exerting in improving the f
live stock industry and generally ben
efitting the farming regions.
