est periods the city has ever had.
Thirty-nine arrests were made during
the thirty-one days while in January
but thirty.four were taken into GUS
tody.
The number of arrests for intoxi-
cation was cut down again during the
past month and only nineteen were
taken for this offense. The average
intoxication arrests per month in the
past has been over thirty. In Janu-
airy twenty were arrested on this
charge and thirty-one were picked up
by the officers in February.
The patrol made eight trips for a
distance Of twelve miles and the ambu-
lance ten for a distance of twenty
eight miles. There was $40 collected

President Wilson's Speech.

President Wilson declared in his ad-
dress that the United States was ready
to join in any feasible association Of
nations to preserve the peace of the
world against political ambition and
selfish hostility" and in service of "a
common order, a common justice and a
common peace" He expressed the
hope that terms of peace which end
the present war would include such an
arrangement.
Outlining suggestions for peace.
which the president said he hoped the
United States would make when it has
opportunity to do so, he included pro-
vision for absolute freedom of the seas,
a contention which has been the key
stone of all the diplomatic discussions
with Germany and Great Britain, and
virtual guarantees of territorial integ-
rity and political independence.
Officials interpreted the president g
address as preliminary feeler for
peace in Europe. He outlined the con-
ditions on which the United States
would move If it made a formal me-
diatory offer with the idea, it was I'M
derstood, of learning how such sug-
gestions would be received abroad.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

There are no radical changes in
trade conditions. The backward spring
has proven a detriment to progress
in some directions. Severe frosts
have worked considerable damage to
the fruit crop all over the Pacific
Northwest. Peaches and pears are
badly injured, and canning operations
will undoubtedly be curtailed. Losses
to apple growers are probably over
estimated, as the freeze will serve
the purpose Of thinning out the fruit,
a necessary process to insure the best
results.
Eggs are now higher than at this
time last year, due to scarcity, and
indications are that both butter and
eggs will see higher prices this fall
and winter than in several years.
Sugar-Sugar has touched the SAc
level. This commodity is now fully
&c over the normal and approximately
double the low price Of periods of de-
pressed values. How long such
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no change
in the local butter market as to
prices, but the undertone of the sit
uation is strong. New York market
firm and higher, with some scarcity
of creamery stock. Chicago reports
heavy receipts but market steady.
Situation holds steady. While
there has been no further advances,
the undertone of the market is strong
and trending upwards. Egg values at
New York are firm and Chicago notes
an advance.
Dressed Meats-The market is rul-
eral offerings has been around the top
in the Pacific Northwest. Hogs are
still ruling high, with pork unchanged.
Receipts Of mutton are still rather
light and other quotations are about
the same.
Lard and Cured Meats-Following
the recent furry on hams and bacon,
the market has steadied down and
there has been no changes in quota
tons for some time, while some i'm
provement is noted in offerings. Bust.
ness is holding up well. Lard re-
mains at the recent advance.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-The apple situation in the
local jobbing way is rather limited as
to stocks. There are a few small size
fancy Offering at $1.25 per box and
quite fair amount of cookers to be
had at 81. New York apple market
reported firm and higher, with re-
ceipts larger than for some time.
Other Fruits-Oranges are a little
easier, with fancy quoting at $4,000
and choice at $3.50. Cloudy wealth
er has been a deterrent to the straw.
berry situation, although quotations
are off little at $40. Cherries are
also some cheaper at $1.75@2.OO per
box. There has been no change in
lemons since last week.
Potatoes--Market still holds at rs
per hundredweight for old stocks, with
new spuds down to sc per pound.
Seed variety still holds at $1.5O. Old
spuds are steady at New York and
new stock firm. The Chicago market
shows a firm tone in the old spud
market. Receipts of new spuds are on
the increase.

FOUR KILLED IN AN
IOWA COLLEGE FIRE
Other Students Are Injured in Trying
to Save Valuable Art Collection
in the Chapel.

OskalOOsa, IOWa-Fire which Satur-
day destroyed the administration build
ing Of Penn college here took toll of
four lives. The bodies of Robert H.
Williams, 35, regent of the college and
state secretary of the prohibition par
ty, and Harry Oakley, %, a freshman,
were recovered
According to the chief of police the
two additional dead are George Raber,
man. They were in a party of half a
dozen who were carrying books from
the library when the four-ton bell in
the cupola fell through the building,
splitting and collapsing it's front wall.
George Minear and Howard Kelley,
students, are in the hospital and may
die.
The fire broke out in the biological
laboratory on the second floor of the
building and reached a 40-gallon tank
of alcohol which exploded scattering
liquid fire in all directions. Insuffi-
Gent water pressure hampered the ef-
forts of the fire department.
WH1dinS anu oakley were klliou
while attempting to save the college
records. The fire reached the cupola
and the four-ton college bell crashed
down through the building, wrecking
the front wall and burying the victims
under tons of debris.
Minear and Kelly were cut and
bruised and are believed to have suf-
fered internal injuries. They were
hurt while rescuing the S. H. M. Byers
art collection which was hung in the
chapel hall. The collection is said to
be worth $4,000.
Defective electric wiring is believed
to have started the fire.
