The situation In respect to publio lighting In brief, as It present itseir to me, is as roiiowa: "The cltv ow pays too much for ItA llshttnar. If the cost of llahtlng ir in is not materially lowered, the city will not bo able tobuy sufficient Hrht for Ita needs. If bids are asked for now there will be but one bidder, and the ?rlce will not be materially lowered, f tho city were to provide Itself with lamps, poles,. wires, etc., within tho city limits necessary to operate ana main tain -such , lleht as It needs. It would obtain such light at a cost enouah lower to make Jfcjkhighij,proritabie in vestment to do ao. - enlres Oompetltlon. 'If it did .this It would secure com petition for electric power to operate its lamps, and . It should be allowed tho opportunity to do ao. If a contract for a long term Is entered Into at this time It will operate to postpone the relief which the city Is sadly In need of In thla respect ' "The interest . or tno city anouia . do first considered, and it should not bo forced into a position where it, will be helpless to extricate itself for years to come. , . : ,. - . There -seems to be a disposition to rash the oity Into a contract at this, the most unfavorable time for the city, and the ' most favorable oaa for tha single bidder for such contract, and Z will say rraakly that t fear that this oity Is to suffer a distinct loss. VI have noped that tho people would take thla .matter into their own hands and believe they would 'if they were ?lven an opportunity to do so. I fear or them if they do not. . "It la unfortunate and greatly to be deplored that at this time when tha po sition of the city is such tha lta in terests for years to coma are praotloally at the mercy of snob inclinations of business leniency as may be shown it by a large private corporation that Its Ida of - tha, question should rest for adjudication in the hands of persons, tha majority of whom are carried upon tha expense aooonnt of this same cor poration for favors extended to publio officials as snob and presumably to be repaid .in kind. "It seems a pitiably small and help less nosltion for a city to oecuoy and attempt to do its publio business when the overwhelming majority of its repre sentatives so far lose their self respect and humiliate themselves by regularly applying for petty stipends granted from the" profit and loas account of a corporation, which is ihe largest dealer in, and the only possible bidder for tho supply of its most imnortant utility and it is to be hoped that at some time and some dav fn the future it may we fnaait fmm aiinb misfortune."

BANK 100 FEET Unknown Man and His Team Drown in Spokane BiTer in Darkness. . (Special Mspatca te The looraal.) Spokane, Wash, April Thomas Home, a laborer, declares that ha hoard a man drive a team Into tha Spokane river lata Saturday night and then call for help as both tho horses and him self went down. Several policemen wore detailed on the case, and all got into a boat and started to search for tho man. A little way out tho boat capslsed and all of tho officers were placed in danger of sharing tho fata of the man at the bottom of tho river. After this experi ence none of them would venture into the swift stream in tho boat, but con ducted tho search from the banks, fall ing to locate either the man or the team. , ' - , Tho wagon - tracks ' show tho man driving nearly all tho way close to the river's edge. Finally he dro so oloae that ona - of tho horses fell over the bank, nearly 100 feet high, and dragged the entire, outfit in tho river. There have been found so far only a buggy whip and a cushion. The police think tho unfortunate man was some farmer and that as soon as his family learn of the accident his identity will bo established. WILL BBEAK BECOKDS (Continued from Pago Ona)- wishing to swear their votes in can be taken. It will be .suggested to the Judges-by County Clerk Fields that those who desire to be sworn In should be made to wait until there are no reg istered voters to bo delayed by them. All Judges and clerks are to meet with County Clerk Fields In tho court room of department No. 1 of the circuit court Friday and Saturday nights for receiving election instructions. Friday night the Judges and clerks from the west side will meet at 8 o'clock, while on Saturday night the of ficials at the east side polling piacea will be eitertainea oy tne county cierx. At the time sample ballots will be on band and a sort of mock election will be- held In order that all of the officials may become familiarised through prac tice with the handling and counting of tho ballots' and the general work of aiectlnn dav. At that time Mr. Fields will instruct the officials regarding the election laws whicn it is necessary ror them to know. He will also advise the Judges not to'1 delay the registered voters while allowing unregistered men to be sworn In. . - Some trouble is being experienced at ha oinrk-'a nffleA with naturalised clti sena who come to register without their cltlsenship papera. In many cases these papers have beert lost and a rule has been made by the clerk that in cases wh.n It Is TMwaaaarv to look, aid tho naturalization in the records of the county tho applicant must wait until there Is no line of men waiting to register who would be delayed by the process of searching tho records. -.It is interesting to note the d ff er-enco- in the registration for tho differ ent years on the same approximate dates. At that time in 180 the regis tration Was 18,03. An iwu s was , mi T illtl I. was 17.222.

Mrs. Wade alighted from tho Irving ton car at Grand and Holladay avenues, near her home. But before entering the house they decided to go to tho gro cery store, a block away, to buy some stamps. Mrs. Wade was on tho point of entering the store when Mr. Mann rushed out and yelled "Help!" at tho top of his voice. Mrs. Wade thought the place was on fire, but Mann told her he had been held up. Mra Wade waited no longer. In their fright Mr. Mann and tho clerka thought tho three little -girls standing across tho street with their grandmother were three large women. The robbers were considerate. After searching the .clerks they left each one of them 10 cents for car fare. Frank Olson, the delivery boy, was allowed to go un searched. One of the men ordered the others not to search the boy, as ho f robably did not have any more money han he needed. Olson had S3 in his pocket, mote than any of tho others.
