MR.. SWINCLER DEFENDS
The HANCMAN BRIDGE

expended in grading streets, or in clear
ing roadways. on in policing any part
Of that section of the city beyond
Hangman creek, nor have they had one
electric light. In other words. they
have paid large revenue to the city
and have had TO make their own road
ways and light themselves home with
a lantern at night. and since the bridge
has been declared unsafe for teams,
they have had to walk across it, and
are still doing so. 1t is true they are
running great risk in walking across
the old structure. but they prefer TO
do this rather than 90 down into the
deep ravine and up the long, toilsome
hill ON the other side.
Under these circumstances my neigh
bors and myself feel that we are not
handing that the city and coanty,
acting together, build a new bridge N
the place of the old bridge, whch has
been used for many years, and Was
built entirely. as before stated, bf pri
vate subscription.
Would you ask the people of this
district to build and repair bridge in
definitely? Would it be justice To
them?
Furthermore, this bridge servet not
only the people who live withi1 the
city limits beyond Hangman freeli
chasm. but also hundreds of otheitpeoi
pie who live in the county, butt out
side the city limits, and the Ct Pmty
commissioners are well aware Of the
justice in the demand of the cit Eens,
who live in the western part d the
county, for a high bridge. because it
will save them long. toilsome route,
every time they visit the city, and Ger
tainly the city of Spokane wants TO
make it as easy as may be for the
country people to come into the city
to do their marketing and trading.
Yours respectfully,

Hatmaker, formerly private secretary
to the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, mar

beautiful in the world. Mrs. Hatmale,
is the divorced wife of Captain JOSEPH
Raphael de la Mar, veritable Monte
Cristo, whom it is said she married
for his almost incalculable wealth. She
was IS at the time and bitterly repent
ed her act. Mrs. Hatmaker is bru

possesses a figure that is the envy o.

Editor of The Press: In 1889 the
property owners across Hangman creek
contributed $4,000 and built at their
own expense entirely what is known
as the old Hangman creek high bridge.
Neither the city nor county contribut-
ed one dollar toward the erection of
this bridge. nor did they even give the
right of way. The right of way was
purchased and arranged for by private
subscription. This bridge answered for
large traffic for T. years. or until 1t
was condemned as unsafe for further
Use.
In short. it was IA great convenience,
not only to all the people of the west
ern part OF the city, but also to the
people OF the western part OF the coun-
ty, and when the bridge became unsafe
for general use, and was closed by
the city, IA storm of protest went up
from all the people living in that part
of the city and the country beyond
for the reason that they have all since
been compelled instead to go down a
| long hill and then to climb another
| long hill; in short, to go down into a
| deep canon, by long circultous route,
| and then up, by an equally long and
crcuitous route, in order to get into
| the city.
There are in many cities, and espec-
| tally so in this city, certain deep water
| courses. which must be crossed by high,
level bridges for the general convent
ence and well being of the people,
which, because OF their great cost, can
only be built at the expense of the
public, and this is just too, as they
are of general utility. Now, the citi-
zens who live beyond Hangman creek
and within the city limits have since
they built the old high bridge at their
own expense paid in taxes into the
city and county treasures something
between 100000 and $4,000, and they
have never had one dollar worth of
city service. Not one dollar has been

Carter owes his appointment to his per.

mentioned him to Roosevelt, when the
president was looking for a man to
give him information on the situation
in Hawaii at the time that Dole's enc
mics were endeavoring to secure his
removal. Carter went to Washing
ton and Roosevelt was so pleased with
his report that when Henry f. Cooper
resigned as secretary of the territory,
Carter was given the place. Carter
gave up much more profitable posi-
ton TO take the appointment, and was,
it is understood. promised the appoint
ment upon the retirement of Gov
ernor Dole. bole's term does not ex-
pire until next March, but the vacancy
in the federal couH caused his resig-

sition. A. l.. c. Atkinson is said to
be slated for the position of secretary
