Married: BY Rev. Nelson, We'd
nesday, March 30th, 1904, at the
residence of the brides parents,
Mr.. Axel Franzen and Miss Ida
Peterson. The bride is the daugh-
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Peterson,
who are old and highly respected
settlers of this community, and the
groom is one of our hard working
young farmers. Many friends JON
the Times in extending congratu-
lations.
News reached here that Willie
Roam, OF Minot, was lost in the
storm of Thursday and Friday and
was found Monday morning only a
short distance from. a house. He
was about IL years old, and was
visiting at the home of Pat Connor.
He and Pat left the house Thurs
day afternoon to go to a neighbor's
and got lost in the storm. Not able
to find the neighbor's, they tried to
retrace their footsteps to the Con-
nor place, but were unable tn do so.
The young man, after travelling for
hours with MIR. Connor, became
exhausted, concluded to crawl into
a snow bank. His body was found
Monday a short distance from a
house in the Matt and John Ull-
rich neighborhood, II miles north
of Coal Harbor. Mr.. Connor's feet
hands and wrists were badly frozen
and he will probably be laid up
some time.
| While Fridays heavy storm was
at it's height, Mrs. Hal Simon, of the
Logan House, discovered flames
issuing near the place in the Chin
ney where four stove pipes meet,
on the second floor. She gave the
alarm, and in "a few moments the
Coal Harbor fire department, bet
ter known as the Bucket Brigade
responded to the alarum. It re-
quired but few moments to chop
away the wall Immediately below
the chimney, after which the fire.
men discovered the fire was caused
by a defective chimney, but a few
pals of water was all that was nee
essary to quench the flames. There
was much excitement in the house
until the fire was subdued. Credit
for the early discovery of the fire
is given to Mrs. Simon, for had the
flames reached the roof, the hotel
and contents, as we'll as the large
department store Of Geo. L. Robin
son adjoining, would have gone.

it's inhabitants and it's interests.
There are men who can afford to
make the demonstration.
ASK the first man you meet
whether there are not men and things
and systems and devices employed in
this city now which are not material
to the best administration of the city.
Just think of the proposition of a
mayor without salary, without desire
for political advancement, without
favoritism; but with hxed and de-
finite purpose to conduct the affairs
of his office as he would conduct the
affairs of his business.
And to this city council COM
posed Of men of like intent and pur-
pose.
'To this again put commissioners
of the same type.
1.-The proposition is not to run the
affairs of Spokane exactly on the
basis of the decalogue. but you would
see more of the decalogue around the
city hall than ever before.
You may tell the readers of The
Press that this movement is a live
and moving one. I make no predic-
tions. At the right time all will be
asked to give us a hand In this effort
We are making. Already some of it
has been accomplished"
