been hashed so long--from religion

to straw covered floors; from raw and

COMPLAIN ASHES
CAUSE DAMAGE
Merchants Petition Commission
Against Hughes Electric
Practice

A petition will be presented to the
city commission, probably Monday
evening, asking the commission to
take steps to abate the practice Of re-
moving ashes of the Hughes Electric
company as nuisance.
The petition, which is being signed
by business men who are affected,
states that the plant operates device
for the purpose of removing ashes and
cinders, recently installed, which con-
veys the ashes outside the plant where
the wind catches them and scatters
them over a wide territory.
The ashes find their way into mer-
camille establishments, hotels, resi-
dences and other buildings, soiling and
damaging merchandise, covering floors
and depreciating the value Of prop
erty. The guests coming on late
trains are annoyed in going to hotels
The petition states that serious losses
occur each month by damage caused
to merchandise.

GU NDER OLSON
TO QUIT G. 0. P
EXECUTIVE BODY.
Will Resign Position as National
Committeeman in Near Fu-
ture, It Is Expected
CREATES COMPLICATION
Said He Would Have to File Res
ignation with Lacquer Who
Heads Lawful COP. Body

Resignation of Gunder Olson, ma.
tional Republican committeeman, is
expected in the near future as soon as
the muddle over his successor is
cleared up to the best interests of the
republican party.
Under the law it is urged, Mr.. OF.
son files his resignation with F. C
Nichols, Of Heaton, chairman Of. the
state Republican committee. Mr.
Lemke then would call a meeting OF
the committee and select successor
to Mr.. Olson This selection must he
confirmed by the National Republican
committee. ~"
Since 1t has been suggested by some
republicans that Gunder Olson who
is now collector Of internal revenue
call a convention of republicans, the
issue has been raised that as a fed
eral office-holder he must renounce
all political activity.
This is just what Mr. Olson is trying
to do but to the satisfaction of those
who truly represent the principles OF
the republican party. But he is faced
by a peculiar situation. Burleigh
Spalding claims that he is chairman Of
the real Republican committee and
that it would be proper for him to re.
ceive the resignation of Mr. Olson as
national committeeman.
On the other hand +. G. Nichols is
a nonpartisan and although holding
the title of republican chairman un,
der the party laws of the state, there
are many who do not want to throw
the control of the Republican com
into those channels.
Two As Chairman
Hence one of the nice complica.
tions, only one OF select few, that
confront the Republican party in this
state. Spalding on one side an(
Nichols on the other give the repub.
licans choice that is embarrassing
to say the least
1t has been suggested by some Re
publicans that Gunder Olson call a
conference OF Republicans and state
the issues plainly. Federal laws pre-
vent his further participation in ac-
tive politics and Ssisis resignation is "a
matter of time now, but no improprie-
ty would attach it Is argued were he
to call Republicans together as last
official act and present his resigna-
ton.
Anxious to Retire
MIR. Olson is anxious to retire as
national committeeman and must un
der the federal statute, but he is con-
fronted with a situation that is per-
picking in the extreme. Since his
appointment as federal official, Mr..
Olson has refused to take any active
part in politics or exercise the func-
tions of a national committeeman
AS a general farewell and testi-
monial to his past services a general
meeting of Republicans is being sug-
gested in the hopes that some solid
ground may be arrived upon to COM
bat a situation that menaces the sue
cess of resumption of regular party
control in this state.

Outbreak is Reported in Eastern

Washington, March 16.-An out
break of rabies is raging in the east
ern- section of the state of Washing
ton, according to the Department Of
Agriculture. Reports from field agents
are said to indicate similarity of the
epidemic with that of 1915 which
caused the loss of life Of 2,10O persons
il five Rocky Mountain states before
it was checked.
Spread of the disease was attributed
in the report to infected coyotes, cases
having been cited where these ami

PETITION FOR
CITY PURCHASE
OF FIRE TRUCK
May Be Presented to the City
Commission Here Next
Monday Night
DISCUSS TRUCK MATTER
Majority Of City Body Has Been
in Favor of Purchase of Less
Expensive Apparatus

A petition is being circulated, which
probably will be presented to the city
commission at it's next meeting, Mon
day night, asking for the purchase Of
a motor fire truck Harry Homan,
who is in charge Of the petition, said
today that it contained the names OF
about so business men.
The plan proposed in the petition is
for the purchase of 750-gallon triple
combination truck, with pumper, at
cost of about $12,500. 1t is proposed
by the sponsors to pay for it by using
$1,9A recently received from the. state
as part of the appropriation made
for fire departments from proceeds
al the insurance company tax for the
purpose; another payment to be made
in June, $4,000 appropriated by the
city commission four years ago for
the purchase Of fire truck but which
money had been spent, and payments
of $4,000 year for several years.
These payments would be made from
the fire fund received annually from
the insurance company tax.
The majority Of the city commission
has been in favor Of the purchase of
truck chassis and mounting the pres
ent apparatus on it, doing away with
the horses. Under this plan i larger
truck could be purchased later and
this apparatus used as an auxiliary
outfit. -,
Some of the members have been
against purchasing a heavy, expensive
piece of apparatus at this time be-
cause they feel that prices on these
trucks will drop considerably in the
near future. This was one of the ar
guments advanced against heavy
apparatus at the time the various
bond issue matters were up. 1t was
said that fire apparatus had not de-
creased in price in proportion to the
decrease of other automotive equip
ment.
It is pointed out that the city could
easily finance the purchase of chas-
sis and maintain the present wagon
apparatus on it at this time, by those
in favor of this method. Those OPP
posed to it hold this would not provide
adequate equipment.

Of radio communication to the use and
