Was STRENUOUS SESSION
Council Meeting Largely Attend
ed by Citizens.
Important Matters are Discussed

Meetings Of the city council are be-
zens at large as show. The meeting
Of last Tuescay night drew a crowd of
about so people and the standing room
only sign was hung out in the foyer at
an early hour The audience was treated
to an exciting session and were we'll re-
paid for their attendance. It is certain
that if the council play. a return date
with the same company and list of at
fractions they will have another
crowded house
The session opened promptly with all
the members present. There was one
vacant chair in the aldermanic row, but
as the mayor has not appointed sue
cessor to Councilman Eckerson, all of
the legal members OF the council were
there.
The clerk read the minutes of the last
regular meeting. The mayo. stated
before the council had acted upon the
reading that he had communication
to read concerning the minutes. He
then read an opinion from the general
counsel of the Idaho 4 Washington
Northern, stating that the third read
ing of the ordinance granting that COM
pany franchise at the last regular
meeting was illegal, as 30 days must
elapse between the introduction and
final passage of any ordinance granting
q franchise for any railroad or like cor
poration.
One Of the cnuncIlmen thereupon
moved that all reference to the reading
o! the ordinance at the meeting he ex-
punged from the records. The motion
prevailed and the minutes were then
approved. The reading OF the minutes
of the adjourned meeting were also ap-
proved.

asking fol license to conduct saloon

The sureties on the bond made affidavit
that they were residents of Newport,
instead of Spokane. As this was simply
clerical error on the part OF the notary
filling out the acknowledgment, the de-
feet can be remedied while the petition
is in the hands of the committee to
whom it was referred.
The committee on streets and alleys
then made verbal report on the Idaho
& Washington Northern's petition for
the closing Of certain streets and alleys
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-06-04

in various portions of the city along
their right-of- way. Chairman Caldwell
stated that he was in favor of granting
the petition as far as it referred to the
alleys. but was opposed to closing the
streets. Councilman Hynes was of the
same opinion.
J. G. Fl. Reynolds, representing the
railroad, then addressed the council
and stated the position of the railroad
He said that it was absolutely necessary
to the economical conduct of their bust
ness that the streets near the freight
house be closed. That the open streets
in that locality would seriously interfere
with their yard work. That they would
have six tracks in the yard near their
freight house, and that if streets were
cut through they could not serve the
public properly.
The streets that they asked to be va
Gated were not in use at the present time.
They probably would never be used by
the public, as street crossings were not
feasible at those points. The level OF
the ground was about six feet higher
than the tracks. In addition the CON-
pany he represented owned nearly all
OF the abutting and adjoining property
and the balance of the property owners,

closing.
He said that it was necessary for the
road to have long stretches of unbroken
yard space, and cited the case OF the
Great Northern in this city, which has
but one street crossing through their
yards for the use of residents of the
south side, while the Blackwell road
would leave three crossings by which
people could reach Old Town side, and
that his company were compelled by
the original franchise to maintain all
street crossings He stated that the
company stood ready to enter into an
agreement with the council to open any
OIL the streets over their rlght-of- way at
any time that the council thought it
best Tor the best interests of tue city.
they would also open up any street
leading to the south side at any time
that the Great Northern would do the
same.
M. NJ Sammons then asked and was
granted permission to address the coun-
Gil regarding the franchise. He said
that he represented several DIRECTORS,
ont did not mention their names. He
look the broad ground that, as a citizen,
ne represented the interests of all citi-
zens. and that the streets had been
oeuicated to the public use. He did not

ests any more rights or privileges unless

KIDNEY CASES
IN BENNING TON

The famed Dr. Loomis OF Bellevue
hospital has declared that his autop-
sizes show that nine-tenths Of men and
women over forty have kidney disease
and as probably one-tenth OF the peo-
pie in Bennington are over forty thus
nine-tenths OF these would mean many
..undreds. But II Dr. LOOMS state
ment is only partly correct. II would
show the astonishing prevalence OF
kidney disease. Another and impOr-
tant fact is that kidney trouble is not
only durable but commonly gets well
OF itself the first few weeks. But u
II has been hanging on and become
chronic II is then considered fatal and
that Il has been so Is shown by the
census deaths from kidney troubles
now over $4,000 annually. This
frightful annual death list also shows
the futility OF the scores Of medicines
that claim to cure kidney trouble.
While many of them are possibly help
full during the first few weeks OF the
curative stage there Is only one thing
known that gets recovery In the chron
ic or supposed fatal stages and we
sent for Il IN the interest OF people
here. Il has proven efficiency In just
this class In nearly nine-tenths OF all
cases and limits the cases cited solely
to the supposed incurable forms. As
Il is impossible to say whether a given
case OF kidney disease Is In the first
or second stage the only sensible plan
n you have kidney trouble Is to start
on the only thing that viii reach II IN
both stages.
II YOU have kidney trouble start
right There Is but one guaranteed
treatment. We will give you the de-
sired information VIM. l.. Gokay
