Only new principles of action will save us from a aay) final hard crystallization of monopoly and a comple te loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and Keep independent energy alive.

WHAT'S THE | ANSWER? King county paid $8,147.50 for ex- huming 3,260 bodies of pauper dead, and their delivery to the crematory, in 39 days.

BARBEE, WHEREBY THE COUNTY WAS STUNG TO THE TUNE OF A MYSTERIOUS $5,000. The contract was handed to one J. H. Mendenhall, who described himself as manager of the American Contracting Co., a company of no fixed identity. Just how Mendenhall got wise to the | crematory contract, although no bids were advertised for, is one of those curi- ous mysteries which a grand jury might clear up. MENDENHALL, HOWEVER, DID NOT COLLECT THAT $8,147.50. MRS. FRANCES M. NOICE GOT THE MONEY THROUGH AN ASSIGN. MENT OF THE CONTRACT TO HER. | MRS. NOICE IS THE WIFE OF THE FORMER COUNTY UNDERTAKER, H.
