DEMAND FOR WATER
 GROWS IN SEATTLE.

SEATTLE, May 10. - Consumption of water in Seattle hotels has actual ly increased to such an extent since prohibition went into effect on Janu- ary I. that the hotel keepers have petitioned for a reduction in their water rates. A petition signed by nineteen leading hotel keepers was filed with the city council yesterday, asking for a 30 per cent reduction of water rates. The petition sets forth that since the first of January guests are using water for other purposes than bathing, and that the public washrooms have increased the use of the H2O until the consumption has become so great that the hotels should have a lower rate. And Seattle water Is not ve-y good at that

Repairs on the Copper River X Northwestern trestle at Mile 97 were near completion today, and at ? o'clock this afternoon indications were that trains would be able to leave Cordova tomorrow and go through to the end of the line.
 That the regular train would leave Monday was stated as certain, with the probabilities greatly in favor of an extra out tomorrow.
 Work on the trestle is being rushed with all possible speed, as the North western. which sailed today, took the last of the copper ore stored in the wards here. In order to supply car goes for the vessels southbound, it will be necessary that the road be opened through to Kennecote.

 SPIRIT OF FRENCH NATION

the South of France. the Depeche de Toulouse, and drew upon himself a storm of protest. The battle of Yer dun did far more to stop the campaign than the conviction of the wine shop man of the Lot and the protests against the articles of Monsieur Paul Adam. It has, perhaps, accomplished even more than the letter of the pre- mier, Monsieur Briand, declaring that all such caIumnies should be punished. Today all parties including the So cialists, who have just renewed their declaration in favor of a war to the bitter end, are working in harmony.
 About two months ago it was pos sible to witness such incidents as that which took place in little cafe in the center of Paris Two soldiers in stained uniforms, smacking of the front, were taking their morning cof- fee in q retired corner-modestly and inconspicuously as is the way with the men who have seen real service. They were concealed from two civil ians. Its time it was brought to a finish. If the generals in command cant do it they ought to be replaced"
 One of the soldiers rose to his feet and confronted the pessimist My good friend" he said. you must have had a hard time of it. When were you mustered out? Tell us what you have done in the war and what the wars done to you to give you such a tired feeling?" The civilian gulped down the rest of the coffee and rushed out of the cafe without replying.
 Today the cafe conversations are all about some exploit around Nerdun, and what will happen to the Germans if they persist in their effort to take the ancient stronghold.
 There is also less discussion of the high cost of living than two months ago, although there has been no ap- preciable easing of prices. This, too, is accounted for by the heroic resist ance of the army.

SLATE CREEK MAN WILL LEAVE ON
 FIRST TRAIN

Jack Miller, who for years has been making regular trips into the Slate creek country, where he works his property during the summer months is now in Cordova, and will leave for the interior on the first train.
 Miller reports his men already on the ground, and expects to find every thing in readiness to commence Oper- ations upon his arrival. He is hy- draulicking his property, and will work only five men to a shift.
 The indications, says Miller, are that there will be plenty of water this summer. Last year he was able to put in only about 40 days actual work largely on account of the great short age of water.

PARIS. April 13. - (By Associated Press Correspondence)- )-The battle oi Nerdun appears to have had a great moral effect in France. It has turned attention from irritating discussions over details of the conduct of the war and has cut short an incipient revival of partisan spirit in parliament and in the press, which had been favored by relative stagnation at the front. Also it seems to have diminished the number of pessimists and hence in creased French confidence in the final outcome
 They have shot their bolt" is a frequent commentary heard in places where two months ago there were ner- yous complaints as to the prolonga tion of hostilities. "They can do no more than they have done. which is far from enough ever to shake the French army"
 Shortly before the Germans at tackled Nerdun some radical and So cialist papers attacked the priests the clericals and the "easy" class charging them with shirking arduous and dangerous missions. No priest or aristocrat, they said. had ever been seen in a trench. They also accused them of aiding and abetting the Ger mans after having helped to bring on the war in the hope that dis aster to France would overthrow the republican or parliamentary regime They accused them of sending money to Germany to subscribe to the Ger man war loans. A wine shop keeper of the department of Lot, who re. peated these accusations, was prose cuted and sentenced to three years Imprisonment, and was fined 1000 francs.
 The campaign against the priests and clericals was even taken up by such conspicuous writer as Monsieur Paul Adam, who made similar charges in the leading radical newspaper of
