The work OF constructing dixie in the
lcinity of Locke, on the Pend d'Oreille
lver, is being rushed at the present
lme. This work was started by some
the ranchers in that locality last sea-
on, but was not completed before win

niles from Locke and is being con-
trncted in permanent manner. 1t

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
City Dads Wrestle With Impor-
tant Matters.
Meet Again Tomorrow Evening

The city council met Tuesday night
with all members present. About a
dozen citizens evinced sufficient interest
IN the affairs of the city to honor the
occasion with their presence. The
waterwOrks question, or rather, the
Carter springs warrant question, was
the principal attraction for this attend
ance by the taxpayers
The complaint in the suit of Harry
Saddler to prevent the payment of war;
rants issued by the old council in pay
ment for the Carter springs and the
answer prepared by Post, Avery & Hig-
gins, of Spokane, We're read in full.
Councilman McInnis introduced a
resolution to the effect that the proposed
answer to the complaint be returned
without the signature Of the mayor. In
case this was done it would act as a per-
manent restraining order in the Saddler
case.
Councilman Ilynes moved an imme-
diate decision and that the resolution be
accepted and voted upon.
At this stage Councilmen Eckerson
and Caldwell, of the old council, gave
the reasons of the old council for acquir-
ing the springs. After considerable dis
cussion Councilman Hynes withdrew
his motion, and the question will not be
decided until next meeting.
The mayor was inclined to think the
city was not in Il condition to take over
and improve the property, rs he under
stood that the present plant had cost
about $4,000, and that the city could
not be bonded for that sum for that
purpose. \ further discussion of the
question will be had at the adjourned
meeting to be held Friday night.
An ordinance requiring truck and
draymen to pay license fee of $50 a
year was given its second reading

Newport and Nancy Change Schedule

Beginning April 10 the steamer New
port will make a round trip daily be-
tween Newport and LeClerc creek. At
the latter point she will connect with
the Metaline Rapid Transit Co. Is launch
Nancy for lone and Metaline.
The Newport will connect with the
Idaho < Washington Northern train
arriving in this city from Spokane at
9:20 q m. She will leave her dock 10
minutes after the arrival of that train.
On arriving at LeClerc creek she will
meet the Nancy and transfer her pas
sengers to that boat
Returning she will leave LeCIerc creek
on arrival of the Nancy, and will arrive
at this port at 500 p. m., in time to
connect with the Spokane train of the
l. & W. n. leaving here at 40 p M
The Nancy will hereafter run from
LeClerc creek to Metalne and return.
She will leave Metaline at q. IN. and
arrive on the return trip at p. N.
The boats will run every day but
Sunday.
The new schedule will prove popular
to patrons of the line desiring to make
lower river points. 1t will allow pas
sengers leaving Spokane in the morning
to arrive in Metaline at o'clock in the
evening of the same day, if they take
the /. x w. \. from the former city.

and clerk were read and referred TO the
Judiciary committee.
The city marshal was instructed TO
look after those persons who made it a
practice of dumping slop and other
refuse on Washington avenue in par
ticular and have the nuisance stopped
The marshal was also instructed to
look after and collect the dog licenses
and take some steps to stop cattle from
running at large.
On account of the bond of James Dun
lap, purchaser of Heisner Bros saloon,
not being i'll proper form the matter was
carried over until the next meeting.
There being considerable unfinished
business and the hour being late the
council adjourned until Friday, April 10.

Newport at 80 p. m. and arrive at
lone ats p. m. On the return trip she
will leave lone at a. IN. and arrive at
Newport at / 80 a. m She will leave
Newport daily except Saturdays and
leaves lone daily except Sunday. On
Sunday she will leave Newport at | p. m.
The boat is now on her regular schedule
and is making the trip little ahead of
schedule time. The improvements
made on the boat make her better than
ever
Capt. I.anneau, of Metaline, was in
the city Monday, and left for Portland
that evening to hurry the shipment of
the material for his new boat
General Manager Warner, of the Met
aline Rapid Transit Co., was in the city
on Tuesday on his way to the lower
river from Spokane.
The Review of Tuesday
contained a picture and write-up
the Nancy, the new motor boat belong
ing to the Rapid Transit Co.
The Nancy broke all records on he
trip from Metaline to Newport on Thurs
day morning. She left the lead town q
$40 a. m. and arrived at her dock
Ills. Her average speed up-strean
was thus better than 10 miles an houi
and her manager states that she wa
not run at full speed.
Travel on the river IS heavier at the
present time than for several years past.
1t will increase as the facilities for
reaching the various towns are i'm
proved. The beautiful scenery along
the grand old river will attract many
hundreds of tourists, who have failed to
visit this section on account of the poor
transportation facilities The lack of
hotel accommodation at lower river
points, notably in the vicinity of Box
Canyon, will probably be overcome by
the erection of modern hotel near lone
this summer

Bank Sale Pending

Negotiations have been pending dur
ing the past three weeks regarding the
sale and reorganization of the First State
Bank, Of this city 4 gentleman named
Krause, from Iowa, together with sey-
eral local capitalists. have had several
conferences with the bank people and a
meeting of the directors was held on
Tuesday, but the parties failed to con-
clude the necessary arrangements. It
appears likely, however, that the matter
will be settled one way or another early
next week,
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1908-04-09

between the east and west. 1t is likely
that the Idaho & Washington Northern
will again make connections with this
train and thus give Newport another
through train to ST. Paul.
The steel gang in charge of construc-
ton of the new Great Northern bridge
over the river at Albeni Falls is busy
at work placing the false work for that
structure. This work will be completed
this week and the work of placing the
steel girders in position will be started
by next Monday. The concrete work
will probably not be completed before
the first of May and the structure en-
tirely finished by the first of July.

about week to install the. new boiler
