TO VOTE ON INCORPORATION.
Election VIII He Held to Determine
the Question.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
REPUBLIC, Jan. H-In anticipation Of q
municipal election to be held here for the
purpose Of determining whether the voters
wish to incorporate the town as a third
class city, registration books have been
opened at the auditors office for registra-
ton during the last week. 1t has been
estimated that the town should poll be-
tween 400 and 800 votes. UP to the present
120 names have been registered, but as the
election will not likely occur before the
last of February 1t il thought the requisite
number will have registered by that time.
In order to be able to obtain many pub
lie improvements, such as sewer and water
systems. sidewalks. graded streets and
proper police and fire protection, 1t is ne
cessary to have a municipal government
in power that can give the necessary per-
mits, franchises, right-of-ways etc., which
at present the commissioners cannot do.
The question whether the town Is ready
for incorporation at the present time will
be the issue. There is no one but
would prefer seeing the town incorporated,
but the taxpayers do not want to be to
hasty in the matter OF mourning additional
taxes.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
REPUBLIC. Jan. GA letter has been
received by the county commissioners from
the physician in charge at the Nespelum
Indian agency, on the south half, informing
them that. in the last few days. several
new cases OF smallpox have appeared
among the Indians and suggests that the
commissioners quarantine all Indians from
travelling toward Republic up the San Poll
road, from the direction of the infected
district. The Nespelum' agency Is about
forty-five miles south Of Republic, In the
vicinity of Kellers, but II Is though the
cases are mid, and that there is little dan
ger of the whites contracting the disease.
The commissioners have therefore placed
guards along the road ten miles below
town with instructions to stop all Indians
coming in this direction either at day or
night. This precaution will be taken on
every road leading to Republic IL neces-
sary, In order to keep all Indians out Of
town, for the time being. The report has
caused quite demand on the local physi-
clans for vaccination. but. as the authors
ties are taking all precautions necessary,
and the travel being rather light into
town at present. most of the citizens look
on the situation as a mere probability OF
the disease breaking out in the town. The
altitude and weather are against such prob
ability.

their employers may forward safely into

fact that nearly all Cinnamon look alike

that the supply Of certificates does not
