NEXT SUNDAY UNIVERSAL DAY
OF PRAYER FOR STUDENTS

The Universal Day of Prayer Tor
students falls this year on Sunday,
February 25. 1t is hoped that our
associations will plan to make worthy
use of the privileges which this day
affords. The CHASTITY tragedy which
involves the members of the move
ments in India, Europe, Canada, Aus
tralia and South Africa summons us
with a new urgency to prayer. Let
us pray that righteous peace may
soon be established. Not less do we
need to pray for ourselves. lest we
be lost in provincialism and softness
of living; and for our national move
ment, lest it miss its opportunity to
guide the thinking of this genera
ton in regard to the full meaning
of the Gospel for world brotherhood.
(Part of a letter from David r.
Porter, executive secretary for the
student department of the Interna-
tional committee of the Y. NJ. c. A,

DEMAND NEW WALKS
IN BUSINESS SECTION
Investigation of Needs Probably TO
Result i'm Notices to
Owners.

An investigation of the sidewalks
along the paved streets in the bus
mess section OF the city is expected
to result in sweeping order that
Main and Alder streets replace the
worn out cement walks in front of
their property May / being the time
favored for the completion of the
Improvement. City Engineer Meyers
was instructed Tuesday to investigate
the walks in the business section
with the members of the public af-
fairs committee of the city council,
the majority of whom favor the is
suance OF orders for new sidewalks.
Gene nt sidewalks have been ordered
constructed along certain blocks near
the south end of State street, previ-
ously without satisfactory walks.
Property owners whose walks have
ing of a grade along their property
but who were required to put in new
walks when the grade was changed
will be reimbursed by the city for
the extra expense incurred, accord
ing to an informal agreement by
members of the city's governing body.
Congressman w. l.. LaFollette has
asked that the city take such action,
in view of the fact that the walks
were destroyed through no fault of
the property owners, and members of
the council have agreed that the own
ers are entitled to reimbursement
Compensation has already been made
to a number of persons who were re-
quired to replace their walks

PLAN TO IMPROVE
DUMPING GROUNDS
Pit for Burning Refuse and Shrub
cry To Hide Scene
Are Suggested.

The idea of the city beautiful is
to be extended to the city's dump
ing ground half mile west of town
if plans Of Mrs. Myrtle Cardiff. the
only woman member of the city
council are given an opportunity to
materialiZe. The construction of
bridge across the South Palouse riv-
err to enable teamsters to reach the
dumping grounds from the Albion
road, the digging of large pit in
which the indestructible refuse may
be thrown, the burning of all in
flammable material left on the
grounds, and the planting of natur-
al hardy shrubbery to conceal the
scene from travellers on the wagon
road and the railroad are included
in the plans as outlined.
1t is Mrs. Cardiff's principal de-
sire to hide the unsightly dumping
grounds from travellers on the o.
W. r. & n. road, who. at the present
time, receive their first view of the
city as a background for the huge
pile of refuse in the valley, and to
add to the sanitation of the city by
burning regularly, probably once
aach week all material left on the
grounds that can be destroyed in
that way. At the present time there
is no way that a team can reach the
grounds and much refuse has been
dumped along the road between the
river and the dumping grounds. An
inspection of the grounds will be
made this week by city officials who
will pass upon the feasibility of
plans to do away with the unsightly
conditions.
Further steps in the interests of
sanitation, as planned by the city.
include the cleaning of the hitching
grounds between Main street and
the river bed just east of Alder
street. the removal of the hitching
posts in the alley extending east
from the end of Olson street, and
the issuance of orders that the hitch
ing grounds west of the Palace barn
must be kept scrupulously clean.
City officials are contemplating
the purchase of ground. somewhat
removed from the business section,
| which may he used for q nuhlic hitch
ing ground. The property between
the DIV. r. & n. tracks and the
Albion road, west of State street
has been considered as has other
property in the city. The officials
are looking ahead to the time when
no ground in the business section
viii be available for such purpose
and are considering plans looking
to early provisions for the aecommo,
dation OF farmer visitors.

DESTROY ANCIENT RESERVOIR

The old city reservoir at the sum-
nit of Methodist hill, which has not
been used by the city water depart
ment for many years, is to fall a vic
tim to progress and in all probability
will be destroyed The floors and
sides of the reservoir are of concrete,
which will be used to fill the excava-
ton. City officials this week made
visit to the reservoir to determine
the best way of doing away with the
old landmark.
