HOLDING HANDS.

The way was steep and tiresome,
And hot the afternoon.
Alone ! walked, reluctant
TO reach my home too soon.
Before me in the pathway,
Near where the statue stands,
There walked son and father
And they were holding hands.
But as ! watched them sadly
The man in anger flung
Aside the little fingers
That to his own had chung.
! heard him say, ignoring
The weary boys demands.
ats hot enough, ! reckon.
Without our holding hands"
Yes. little hands are clinGing
And little feet will fail;
But little hearts are tender
And little lives are frail,
If one ] knew could only
Come back and give commands.
I'd gladly walk forever.
Forever holding hands.

Good Act 81 Pa..sarsr Arsna.

1t is an old saying that corpora
tions have no souls and there may be
some ground for the statement, but
il does not prove true In all cases.
We have an incident In this city
which proves the exception to the
statement A Mrs. Mckee and
family Of children arrived here from
Mandan, North Dakota penniless and
had placed a q. D. ID. on their bag
gage for the purpose Of securing a
balance Of s3s due the railroad on
tickets which were advanced TO them.
Arriving here the mother found that
her husband had just sustained
broken arm aud three ribs as q result
OF being injured by a runaway team
and was in a bad way financially.
She appealed to Station Agent
Kitchen and he took the matter up
with General Passenger Agent CIeland
at st. Paul, who ordered the G. o. ID.
against the baggage Of the woman
removed and requested the agent TO
turn 1t over to her, which be did
Wednesday. The action Of the com.
pany Is certainly oommendable be
cause its charity was bestowed In a
case OF need and merit.

some important matters were con-
sidered.
The fire and water committee
recommended the purchase Of 600
feet Of Victor hose at 80 cents per
foot. J. G. White, president Of the
fre company was present and urged
the board to include a hose cart in
its purchases and take some action
for the Improvement Of the fire ser.
vice by installing some kind OF an
alarm system. The discussion re-
suited in instructions being given to
the fire and water committee to in
quire into the cost Of a complete
electric alarm system. The trustees
were favorably inclined toward some
improvement and action will be
taken in the matter.
The village attorney was instructed
to draw up an ordinance covering the
annual appropriation bills.
A petition was presented by citi-
zens asking that the alley in block
II be made passable for teams.
The ordinance committee was in.
structed to prepare an ordinance In
regard to the construction OF side
walks. The idea is to make amend
meuts to the sidewalk ordinance
which will enable better improve
ments to be made.
The bill Of \. K. Palmeter for
road work during the month Of
June amounting to ss6.25, was
allowed.
Mr.. Kerl, one Of the purchasers of
ground at the Fort Sherman sale APP
peared before the board and stated
that be and Mr.. Ham were intending
to lay the grounds off In good sized
blocks and park the same, making
them both beautiful and desirable
for summer homes. He asked the
town to join them 10 making a drive
way through from the old road to the
lake along the dividing line OF the
park. The matter was referred TO
the committee on public property.
The cemetery committee was
authorized to employ a landscape
gardner and have five acres Of the
cemetery plated and PIT in attractive
form

Miller Does not want Logging Road Butt
10 the Lake.
An interesting case came before
Judge Morgan IN chambers In this
city Wednesday In which Geril Miller
asks for a restraining order to pre-
vent the McGoldrick Lumber com
pany from building a logging railway
along the county road and down to
the lake at Lofts bay. The county
is made defendant in the case on &C
count Of the highway being ingolv-
ed. but Miller is said to be behind
the action. The case was argued by
F. NJ. Dudley and County Attorney
Whitla for defendants and Edwin
McBee and W. T. Stowl for Miller.
The judge took the cases under ad-
visemeHt and will probably give a
decision some time next week.
The McGoldrick Lumber company
recently purchased the mill Of the
Fox Lumber company in Spokane
and the timber interests Of the com
pany in this county aud Immediately
purchased material and began the
construction Of logging road from
the timber down TO Lofts bay.
Miller nov steps in and asks for an
injunction to keep the road from
securing an outlet 10 the lake.

had been lined up at the land office
awaiting the opening. The anxious
seekers for timber land had agreed
on number aud took their turn at

or II had been taken with scrip.
There we're $50 people in line and
1913 filings we're made, of which 10
we're h0mesteads, the balance being

state had selected 10000 acres
through Chief Inspector Munson. As
a result of the opening there will DO
a number Of contests. Some amusing
features we're connected with the
opening, one Of which was that some
got an idea that attorneys had more
privileges than the ordinary settler
and Immediately the lawyers became
thicker than flies around molasses

marked that attorneys we're becoming
more numerous than settlers.
