New CITY ADMINISTRATIONS
city council of 1898 finished its labors
last night and DIR. F. R. Burroughs,
the retiring mayor, made few we'll
chosen remarks briefly reviewing the
work during his incumbency which
impressed all present that a faithful
guardian of the city's interests was
bidding goodbye to an important po-
sition. He then welcomed the new
mayor, w. R. Peters, and councilmen
o. R. Holcomb, H. E.. Gritman, and
VIM. Snyder, who had taken their
oaths OF Office and qualified themselves
as the new authorities. The incoming
mayor surprised the audience by his
ringing and business like address
which convinced his hearers that no
mistake had been made in the choice
of mayor. Ex-mayor Burroughs sat
by his side giving friendly advice from
time to time until the meeting closed
and all matters coming up were quick
ly disposed Of and all went merry as q
marriage bell. E. d. ellison was re-
elected city clerk, Sam Hutchinson
marshal, and A. L. Rettig, city engi-
neer. An economic policy was out
lined and business mans admins ira
ton seems the desire OF the members.
If the personnel Of the new city gov
eminent does not present fair front
we are no judge of physiognomy. 1t
possesses legal talent, experienced and
successful business men, executive
ability, all are heavy property owners
and young men Of high standing in
the community and each one is deeply
concerned in the welfare OF the city,
If they prove failure in conducting
our affairs, we cannot imagine at this
writing who could take their places
and make a success.

HoRsEs FOR ALAsKA.--Messrs. Bri<e
and Heaney shipped from this place
last Saturday 30 head Of fine horses
destined for Lake Bennett in Alaska.
They are to be used in transporting
goods over the ice down the Yukon
river. The price paid shows an in
creased valuation in horse flesh, and
averaged about $50 per head. The
hoi ss were, however, exceptionally
choice animals, the best in fact that
could be secured, one team weighing
$500 pounds.

A. j. MACLEOD DEAD.--Information
Just reaches us that Alexander j.
Macleod, brother of Mrs. D. A. Nc
Laurin of this city, died on Friday
January 9th, 1899, at Seattle, Wash.
1t is with a feeling of deep regret that
we chronicle the sad intelligence. The
writer knew him intimately and well
and will ever remember the hearty
welcome in his hand grasp which
made us feel at home when first in
troduced to him here fifteen years ago,
at which time he was acting as deputy
under county auditor, w. ]. Ferguson,
and therefore will be remembered by
all old citizens. 1t is fitting that we
should pause a moment to pay tri-
butte of respect to the lamented sub
ject OF this memorial who was en-
shrined in the hearts of all those who
were admitted to his fellowshipin life.
He always commanded absolute con-
fidence and was universally esteemed.
1t is for "the touch of vanquished
hand" that we sorrowfully sigh, the
"sound OF voice that is STILL" 1t is
the feeling that "take him all in all,
we meier shall see his like again" that
banishes every sense but that of per-
sonal bereavement at the contempla-
tion of his untimely end. Brave, yet
gentle, tender yet true, loyal, honest
and kind, he gave up his young life
after brief struggle with typhoid
pneumonia. For many years he has
been employed as purser on the sound
steamers and chief clerk for the Airing
ton Dock Company and last summer
was by the latter sent to Dyea, Alaska,
to look after their interests and it
was while there that he contracted a
cold from which he never recovered.
He leaves young wife to mourn his
loss. He was a brother Of the late
N. B. Macleod, formerly a business
man OF Ritzville. The deceased was a
member in good standing in the
Masonic fraternity Of Seattle which
organization doubtless conducted the
funeral ceremonies. The News extends
to the relatives and friends tender

TOWN AND COUNTY.

UNDER NEW RULE-On Monday
morning last the Populist county
officers vacated their positions and
the Republicans assumed control. The
old board OF County Commissioners
were in session all of last week clos
ing their labors on Monday morning,
at which time Messrs. Jno. Olsen and
A. J. Willis retired and Messrs. w. G.
Griffith and G. II. Kanzler took the
oath of Office as their successors, and
the new board was Immediately Or
ganized by electing Mr.. A. s. Kelsey,
the hold-over member, as chairman.
The latter is populist and very
honest, conscientious and intelligent
gentleman. The other two new COM
missioners are Republicans and ditto.
The bonds of all the ingoing officers
were examined and approved, and by
Tuesday the entire change had been
made. Auditor Lewis had every
thing in shipshape and cordially
handed the reins over to Geo. A. Ken
nedy, who moved off in the work I'M
der his new responsibilities like an old
hand at the business. Big Ed. Hill,
our new go pound, goodnatured Sher-
if was at his post with look on his
face which almost seemed to say,
"bring on your administration"
County Attorney w. w. Gent, nod
ding pleasantly and answering doz-
ems Of questions, was busy generating
a proper start for the new men. Treas
urer A. w. Shaw, sentinel-like, stood
guarding Adams county's 3-ton treas
ure box, while Mrs. Alice Copp noise
lessly glided about the room neatly
dispatching business with her char
acteristic dizziness. County Surveyor
J. ]. Koch, who was reelected, drop
ped in on the busy scene to ascertain
what kind OF company he would have
to keep for the next two years. Messrs.
HI. E. Gritman and L. G. Van Patten,
Coroner and County School Superin-
tendent, respectively, were too busy
at the Pioneer Drugstore to be pres
ent, but will be on hand when their
duties demand them. Mr.. Walton,
the quiet and accommodating County
Clerk conducted your humble servant
to the large steel vault and turned
over to our gentle keeping stack of
books higher than Marshal Sam
Hutchinson, with which we shall
mingle and make our hieroglyphics
in for while.
