much delight as the men in watching the
movements, and swooped down on the
construction gang like an army of mer-

last spike driven at precisely 4 p. M,
when the engineer gave a toot of the
whistle, which was all the demonstration
made. OF course this is not really the
last spike as the road is to be continued.

TELEPHONE FRANCHISE
Public Meeting Held at Court
House tuesday Evening.
Concensus of Opinion Is Against
Granting Long Term franchise
Another Meeting July 20.

The meeting called by the mayor and
common council to discuss the telephone
franchise business Tuesday evening was
not largely attended, but the matter was
discussed in its different phases by those
present.
Mayor PattisOn called the meeting to
order and stated it's object. He said the
present city government was under
pledge not to grant franchise of what
ever nature for q longer period than one
year. The franchise granted the Pacific
States Telegraph 4 Telephone Co. %
years ago has expired, and they now ask
the city to renew the franchise for per-
iOd OF 10 years, they to pay bonus OF
$3.50 a year, with certain regulations
and restrictions, to which the readers
attention il called in the ordinance pub
lished in another column. The mayor
said this ordinance had passed the sec
Ond reading, and before the third or
last reading, or before final action was
taken, they desired to know the wishes
of the citizens in the matter.
As a preliminary to further action
William Lippitt was elected chairman OF
the meeting and George H. Lennox secre-
tary.
Martin j. MalODey expressed his views
in brief, saying he entertained the most
exalted opinion of the mayor and cOun-
Gil, but he was opposed to granting a
franchise for Is, for 10 or even for five
years; he thought three years was long
enough. There was not the slightest
probability of the telephone company
quitting business in COlfax-it was too
great in volume and far too profitable
for such an idea to be. entertained for a
moment. He would favor granting a
franchise for three years, with such pro-
visions as would be right for all.
George w. Larue indOrsed the remarks
of Mr.. Maloney, saying he was opposed
to granting franchise for a longer per-
iOd than three years.
general discussion followed, in which
F. W. Gaines, s d. O'Neal, Charles R.
Hill, Charles n Hinchliff, William Lip
pitt and several Others expressed their
views, the opinion all being against
granting long franchise, some placing
themselves on record as opposed to

Auditor Is Also Registrar

Tuesday E. D. Eldredge was made
deputy in the county auditors office,
and Miss Mary j. Oliver was advanced
to the dignity of deputy and deputy
registrar. Under the Torrens act for
recording land titles the auditor is made
registrar. One application has been
made to register under this law, that of
the College Park Improvement Co. of
Pullman, whose request will be complied
with as soon as the necessary blanks ar
rive at the local office. The Torrens law
will probably be taken advantage of
hereafter by those filing townsites or
additions to townsites, as it greatly
simplities matters and does away entire

last Saturday and the metropolis Of the
PalOuse at last has two railroads." 1t
also says that the Spokane & Inland has
become power in transportation mat

being in the heart of the great wheat
belt, has something good in store for it.
