At the meeting of the city council !,
last night there was considerable other
business to dispose Of before the FAM
GUS building ordinance came up for
The ordinance has been
hanging nre. read and re-read. addi-
tions made and parts cut out and has
been a source Of worry to the members
of the council and the city attorney for
q period OF one and one-half years. 1t
was the desire Of some Of the retiring
members OF the council TO have the or
dinance passed before they retired from
their tenure Of ONCE and Councilman
scully brought the matter up stating
that he was ready to listen to the read
ing OF the ordinance. There was still
ness for full minute when the mayor
said: II think that the ordinance
should not be rushed through. we
should not be hasty in passing this Or
dinance. It should be left to the new
council perhaps they may be able TO
make some insertions and corrections.
It In not complete and can be improved
on and perhaps the new members OF
the council have some better ideas on
the matter than we have. Since they
will take their seats In a few days we
should not be hasty. The ordinance
has been hanging fire for one and one
half years and there IL no reason why
we should rush II through the last
minute without due consideration"
This brought out an argument from
Colby who was In favor of passing the
new ordinance at once or enforcing the
old one. He stated that there were
many buildings being erected that
should receive the attention of the city
with reference to the requirements Of
the old ordinance and thought that thu
old ordinance should be strictly en-
forced. He thought that the cit,
should employ someone who was an ex'
pert on getting up an ordinance ant
nay SIS or $50 to have good on
drawn up.
Mr.. scully insisted thatt he ordinance
should be read and offered motion =

There is considerable speculation
again among the people of Lewiston

E. J. Pearson of the Northern Pacific Arrived
Last Nght...Is Now on Visit in
the Clearwater Country

,ewiston- -Riparia branch was one OF
the possibilities, this merged interests
to be operated under separate cor
porate head and would be under con-
trol Of both the Northern Pacific ana
the o. r. & N. 1t Is still contended
that this plan will be carried out when
the hammer falls and the work starts
on the Riparia branch, which VIII oe
built without question In the near
future. The fact that the Hartman
interests are reported to have pur-
chased extensive terminal grounds In
both Seattle and Tacoma recently ana
that the Northern Pacific were plann-
ing to purchase additional terminal
grounds in Portland goes to show that
there is an activity tnat means much
for the entire Northwest. There will
be no fight between the interests. sucn
a course would be expensive ana teno
to cut the dividends Of both roaos
down. What more reasonable can pe
then than the fortifying Of their terri
tory for the increase Of the tonnage ana
the opening of new and practically
dormant territory. Such course wouio
no of inestimable benefit to both lines
and would eliminate all the ravages Oh
a bitter and expensive fight.
| Mr.. Pearson as chief engineer OF the
Northern Pacific is not in this section
without some important motive. The
fact that a trip up the Snake river
from Riparia was made by him Is sum
! cent to believe that he wished to pe'
come acquainted with the conditions
along the proposed lewiston Riparia
branch. He left this afternoon In MI

Another innovation Is the employment
