Robert Horns. ! contributed to tho expense of main tulnlng tho city government, lly this change of plan tho city of Spo kane will reall.o $400 per month. The mayor has also determined to protect tho fallen women from tho extortion of tho landlords, and has Ixcd a limit to the rents which may bo charged. He recognizes the Inex orable fact, that the evil will always he present In the community and that the sooner It becomes systematized and orderly, and a contributor to the city treasury, tho better it will bo for all concerned. Another matter decided upon by the mnyor of Spokane, Is that the houses of lll-famo shall be confined to one district. Tho ultra-moral class has been agitating tho removal of tho whltechapol district and the distrib ution of the inmates to the Isolated portions of tho city, .Mayor lioyd Is opposed to this plan, and his reasons apply to every city dealing with this subject. Uy I confining them to one well designated location, the respectable people of j die community can avoid them, lly ! having It known that a certain dis trict was alloted to these cancerous municipal plagues, people buying homes and building homes, would be protected and could locate at a dis tance troiu them with an assurance that they would be free from any fu ture spread of tho evil. Hy scattering them and driving them from the llxed location, Is to distribute them In the best portions of tho city. No home would bo free from the contamination. They would rent homos and resorts in tho resi dence portions and would hide under various guises In the heart of tho business centers. To break up a whltechapol district In any city is to make a bad matter worse. The closer the immoral classes can be herded together, tho better It is for all respectable people. j beside It, In n conspicuous covner of the room, nro tho rich Indian robes from the Pondluton Woolen Mills.

Tho estimates of the Kastern 1 wheat crop, made by crop export, W. t H. Snow, of the agricultural depart ment, are not encouraging. The linger of the agricultural department is on the wheat crop of tho United States from the day the seed Is cov ered In the ground, until It returns to the granarjes, a golden stream. Therefore the estimates made by the department are about correct. So far as threshing has progressed In the Eastern states, the average isl very low. In fact, the crop is a ills appointment to the experts and the farmers, who have lioen In el so touch with the situation. Tho heavy straw mid the thrifty appearance of the crops led to the belief that the Central states would ylold an average crop. Such Is not the case. In the .Middle West, where the great bulk of tho American wheat crop grows, the yield is lower than for several years. Threshing results to date have been received covering operations of from one to a half dozen machines, from widely scattered districts, and the showing is slgulllcaiit. In Putnam county, Indiana, the average to date is nine bushels; In Illinois, .Marion county shows five bushels; Clay, live to 15; in Iowa, Hamilton county gives l'i bushels; Clinton, seven to 11: .Marlon county. Mo., shows eight to 11 bushels. Portions of Kansas and Nebraska aro falling to make good early prom ise, but generally speaking the yloldh in these states are satisfactory. It Is apparent that In spile of an lucre se of more than II.OOO.OOO acres in area harvested, the winter wheat crop will ho little If any larger than last year. TO CONTROL THE EVIL. Spokane is wrestling with the so cial evil, as aro most other western cities. In her own peculiar way It is very easy to dlctato from the pul pit and editor's desk, how tho gamb ling and house of lll-famo questions should bo met, hut It Is another thing to get into tho harness ami deal with these evils as a member of the conn ell, or mayor. The ministers of Spokane are con demning tho mayor for licensing and collecting lines from tho bawdy houses, for tho benefit of tho city. Heretofore, theso fines have been dis tributed among the police force and whllo tho city tolerated tho ovll and boro the oxponso of keeping order In tho whltechapol districts, It received nor turn from tho houses. Mayor Iloyd, who has Just taken his ofllco, has doterinined that graft lug shall cease, and tho fines collect ed from all sources of vlco, shnll be .lodge William l.ecron, of tho United States district of St. Paul, this morning decided that the North ern Securities Company is not or ganized In violation of the anti-trust law, and that tho state of Minnesota has not made a case against it. Ho decides that the Securities Com pany Is not strictly a railroad, that It was not organized for the purpose of controlling freight rates, that in cornering all the stock of these two great systems, the defendants have not violated the anti-trust law ami that, therefore, the people of Minne sota have no just grievance against nn innocent corporation, which has no evil designs upon the industrial life of the commonwealth. The state of Minnesota has made a vigorous fight against the merger. All the evidence that could possibly be demanded by an Impartial court as to the Illegal features of the or ganization, has been furnished. Cuses In which tho merger was shown be yond doubt to have been formed for the express purpose of controlling, arbitrarily, all the freight rates of the Northwest, have been submitted to the court. Tile schedules of tho muds beforo and after the formation of tho merger wore introduced in evidence and num erous cases of unjust and llagrant violation of tho provisions of the mul tilist law, wore presented. Willie it is too early to pam judg ment upon tho justice of tho de cision, in the absence of the details of all the evidence, It appears to bo n case of corporate strength against Hie M'UMU, Willi lliu jiiiiku oil llli? muu of the corporations. ( The hlstoiy of the merger was too well known, beforo the trial was called, to admit of any doubt of its Illegal nature. Its very Inception was a truce Ixitween tho great rivals In tho carrying trade of the Northwest, and the consolidation of their Inter ests, was a signal that rates and shipping regulations would he arbi trarily controlled and that no compe tition would thereafter stand on tho side of the runners as a protection from unjust rates, Tho decision Is made, but It will not settle the morgor. Tho people will demand that the anti-trust law bo enforced or Us omptlnoss finally shown.

Hereafter waitresses, cham bermaids, and, in fact, nil the women employeys of tho hotels untlor the Jurisdiction of the unions are prohib ited to chow gum while on duty. Tho new wago scale and agreement formally signed recently by tho Ho telkoopers' Association and the Joint Council contains a clause to this ef fect. Sadio Linden, who acted on tho union side of tho conference, insisted upon the "boycott" on chowlng guni, saying that It "did not look nice for a "waitress or chambermaid to chow gum while on duty." The waiters, cooks, bartenders and miscellaneous help do not faro any better than their sister members. The agreement specifically stntoB that (hoy must rofrnlu from using Intoxi cating liquor or tobneco whllo on duty. The wage scale was based on the wages In force Feb. 1 last, tho waiters receiving an Increase of 10 per cent, with a maximum scale of $10 a mouth fur the big downtown Kuropenn plan hotels, and $:I0 mini mum. The miscellaneous help re ceived an increase of l2Vi for cent. Tho minimum scale for bat tenders and cooks Is $12. most of whom nro receiving more than this amount at present. Tho agreement practically runs for two years, but Is su.iject to vision Aug. 1, 1901. Hoyco's Week ly. BEGINNINGS OF IRRIGATION. A PHENOMENAL MEMORY.

An event of moto than common im portance will he the beginning of work upon the Tonto storage reser voir in Arizona, the first jjreut enter prise under the new Irrigation law. ( The Suit Itlvor valley lias been chosen by the government engineers ( as most tavorame lor tne inaugura tion of the new system. The laud to be irrigated Is all in private owner ship. Liens are executed covering every acre to ho bnolllted. and the association of land owners which Is formed to facilitate the work agrees to repay the construction cost with Interest within 10 years. Not only does the storage leservoir water by gravity all the lands below It, hut the full nt the dam is to fur nish power to pump water to higher lands, until now practically valueless. As tho money expended upon the lauds of private owners is to lie re funded, and ns the Irrigation of pub lic lauds will enhance their value, tho process of restoring tho fertility of nrld America will go forward with automatically Increasing celerity, and tho dry Southwest will thus In time bo one great garden teeming with a prosperous people New York World.
