Tribute from Mayor
Mayor Harper yesterday asked that
all city employees attend the funeral
services. His message follows:
"A brother worker in the citys en-
ploy, Walter Herman Auble, has been
killed in the faithful discharge of his
duty.
Tomorrow his body will be laid to
rest
Funeral services will be held at the
Scottish Rite cathedral, 929 South Hope
street, at las p. m.
1.-The hour for services comes when
all municipal business has been sus-
pended, thus making it possible for en-
ployes to attend without interfering
with their work.
Il believe it is the duty of every en-
ploye, from the highest to the lowest,
to be present at the cathedral while the
last rites are being said. and by this
proclamation ask each employee to do
his duty. A. c. HARPER,

That Metaline Road

Northport is not the only town
to register a complaint for the ex-
travigant expenditure Of t h e
peoples money on surveys for .
wagon road between the Pend
d'Oreille and Columbia rivers with
out beneficial results. The route
as first laid out-connecting New
port, Metaline and Northport in
Stevens county with Orient in
Ferry county was, until Clare
Hunt became county surveyor,
considered to be the most practic-
able and by far the most econom-
ical route for county road. but
soon after Hunt was installed in
office a change was deemed most
advisable. The cause for this
sudden change was Matched up by
few adventurous individuals
whose endeavors to secure every
thing in sight for Colville led them
to ignore the rights of citizens of
other places By the aid of the
county surveyor these prominent
Colville boosters caused new
route to be marked on the map for
the state road leaving Northport
side tracked although in direct line
between the two terminal points.
In addition to robbing Northport
of what justly belonged to it the
people have been Aeeced to the
tune of several thousand dollars in
useless surveys and are still with
out a road between the points
named. -Republican.

Relics Of Big Flood

In the windows Reds hardware store
two relics of the awful Johnstown flood
are being exhibited this week. One of
these is metal horse and rider, repre-
senting st. George in the legendary tale
OF est. George and the DRAGON This
ornament surmounted a fine clock and
was torn away from its base and buried
in the river slime and mud which had
entered the second floor of the house.
1t was intact even to the gold spear
held by the rider, save for the loss of
the tail Of the horse. The crevices of
the ornament still show traces of the
mud and river silt where it has hard
ened as firm as cement.
The other relic is rocking chair and
minus one of its ornamental knobs. but
still useful.
These relics, still most carefully pre-
served, are the property OF F. E. Reid,
the hardware merchant, who went
through the flood on that memorable
day, May 81. 1889. After speaking OF
his terrible experience and the awful
sights witnessed he jokingly remarked:
"Some people may take exceptions to
the term 81 went through the Johns
town food" but l am right in using it,
for if that food had gone through me |
would not be selling hardware in New
port.
