LETTER FROM MRS. ELDER.
Editors Democrat

1 Editors Democrat ffiA
In my recent communication to
this paper, / was telling you some
thing about Spokane, SO just word
more and will tell you of some Of
our scenic trips through these lovely
mountainous regions in this interest
ing western country.
|. Spokane is healthful city the ex-
ltraordinary number of sunshiny days
combined with the altitude of 1891
feet and the protection afforded by
mountain ranges on all sides, are
contributing factors to the well-being
Of its citizens and the magnificent
water supply owned by the municipal
ity, is another, and tests have shown
this water to be as near perfection
| in purity, I think, as may be found in
our springs at the Fish Cultural sta
ton in old Delaware county as
can be obtained from natural sources.
The annual normal temperature is
48 degrees, but during the average
winter, there may be few days in
which the mercury will drop to zero,
but most of the time, the temperature
at night will be little below the
freezing point, and during the days a
little above. In the summer, there are
occasional hot periods, in which the
mercury will climb into the nineties,
a dry, light, bracing heat, however,
without humidity and they say there
has verify, never been a death from
heat prostration in Spokane, and the
summer nights are always cool and
there are no extremes of heat or cold.
The Spokane river has fall of 1880
| feet, in distance of 100 miles, pro-
viding an enormous water power, with
a $4,000 horse power. developed and
,, nnsre we have the highest spill-way
! dam in the world. 49,
The mining districts are a feature
to be proud Of, and an evidence of
faith in Spokane's future, is shown
| by the fact that persons, who have
made fortunes in the mining regions
| adjacent, have invested their returns
| in business blocks, banks and COM
mercial enterprises in the city.
Spokane is the headquarters of the
Northwest Mining Association, which
maintains club rooms and an infor-
nation bureau in the Hotel Spokane
and as for parks ard play grounds it
cannot be beaten. There are forty
three parks and eight Fairgrounds
and a much appreciated feature, two
municipal golf links.
Within radius Of 100 miles of the
city are SO lakes, which when COM
bined with other scenic wonders of
the Inland Empire, gives the north
west its title of "The Green Summer
Playground of America" There are
IS grade schools, parental school,
two high schools, school for de-
fectives, FIVE parochial schools and
seven colleges and technical institu-
tons. There are four banks, three
trust companies, and several mortgage
loan concerns of financial ability, so
that Spokane is yearly becoming a
more important manufacturing point.
/ must speak of the newspapers, be-
cause it really has superior advant-
ages in that line of papers and perio-
ideals. There are three dailies, one

And So They We're Married
DOLLY DAYTON was not really
~ HdLEL LIE ~ BAl CHELOh
Copyright, 1919, By Public Ledger Co.

DOLLY DAYTON was not really
L wicked. but she was essentially
selfish. She looked like Isabel Carter
would have IL Isabel had been dark and
thirty-five, which meant that she was
slender, extraordinarily we'll groomed
and good-looking in a hard polished way.
She had as an excuse for mingling in
the gay Bohemian crowd she liked the
fact that she dabbled in different things
No one knew just what they were and
as for actually selling any Of her mate
rial it was out of the question.
She tolerated her husband and yet she
was rather fond Of him. Deep in her
heart of hearts she liked him perhaps
better than she pretended to on the
surface. 1t simply did not fit in with
her hard, scintillating self to care very
much for any one. Nick. however, she
adored. She liked him mainly because
he was not as easy to understand as her
husband. No one ever understood Nick,
but most people liked him nevertheless,
and Scott's disapproval of him was.due
entirely to the fact that 1t had once been
said that Nick could do anything he
liked, with women.
II Nick could. he never talked about
II. To tell the truth he was sincere after
u fashion. He never took advantage Of
young girls, but he was in search of a
thrill of some kind. therefore he liked to
experiment. He never blamed himsen
because women lost their heads.
One morning not long after Scott and
Ruth had gone to the Dayton studio
Polly Dayton lay on the chaise Tongue In
her room reading her morning mail and
slipping her coffee. She looked up with
a laugh as Nick came in, and threw her
letters into her lap, moving aside so
that Nick could sit down beside her.
Now what?" she laughed.
"Did you like Ruth Raymond" His
question was abrupt He had not spoken
Of Ruth to Polly since the affair.
Eyes, very much, but she isn't danger
ously fascinating like Mrs. Portland nor
Is she wide-eyed innocence like little
Mrs. Hartley. Isn't she a departure?"
she smiled up at her brother in fashion
that made her words simply admiring.
Nick laughed too, and lazily lit a
cigarette. SCOTS a nice chap, but he
doesn't like me. he doesn't approve OF
me either, but that Is neither here nor
there. Do you know that fool couple
have ideas about a fifty-fifty existence,
making experiments with friendships
and SO forth. As II 1t would work with
a woman like Ruth Raymond"
akrd x,hy mt xyith Ruth Ravr,ona
I believe In It,"
You're not Ruth Raymond"
"And pray. what is there about Ruth
Raymond that is SO different from me?'
Everything" Nick did not say 1t as
though It admitted Of any refutation, he
merely announced II.

L sponsible position with a large cop

~ sands upon thousands of children
in the world to be fatherless without
having fathers infiict a state of
orphanship upon their children? Too,
too many parents hurriedly imagine
duty to their offspring is done when
they furnish food and a roof to shelter
them from the elements.
But all the grandeur of stately man.
sions and meals designed for a king
cannot make up to a child for lack of

for the youngster of whom I speak.

again perhaps he is not. At least he
