 PIONEER WOMAN

Tne death of Mrs. John Allen Cam-
 eron occurred at the Red Gross hospital
 yesterday afternoon at l:l5. The case of Mrs. Cameron was peculiarly sad one. She is we'll known to many old
 timers having come into the country in the first rush after the news of the Dsw-
 son strike was reported, sailing to St. Michael on the steamer excelsior, the same boat that carried the news to Frisco. She spent the winter of 1897 8 at Fort Yukon, having been unable to get further up the river that fall. She went ou to Dawson the following year. The was cultured and clever woman, of excellent ousicess ability. She mar rled Cameron, member at the time of. the N. ". M. P. III health compelled her to go out a couple of years ago but  she returned going to Cordova last fall. By written engagement with her huS- band she came here about two months ago to meet him but he did not put in an appearance or write to her, She re- mained here hoping to hear from him. About six weeks ago she was taken Sick and vent to the Red Cross hospital where she underwent a successful opera tion for an internal abscess. When on the road to recovery another abscesS de- veloped and, being too weak to admit of another operation, failed rapidly to the

As pretty a game of ball as ever was put up on any field was played yester' day between the White Pass team and that of the Arctic Brotherhood
 A large crowd was out to see it, dll' ing the grand stand but not so large a crowd as would have been there, prob, ably, if the others had only known. The A. B. team had been strengthened by Hemeuway, catcher, BeltOrd pitch CT, Mcguire, ss. Mullen first and Turner second base. Hemeuway, Bel ford, Mullen and Mcguire are Univer- sity of Washington men who came up from Seattle by the Dolphin, while Turner is manager in charge of Captain rown's mining enterprises about Haiues.
 The White Pass team was out in it's full strength, GauIt, Phelps and Fryar having been brought in for the occasion from Glacier and Haiues. The game was one of intense suspeuse for the most part with only spasmodic bursts of roofing. The teams were so perfectly matched that the result hung in the balance until the end. Of the eleventh inning. The game was played swift and sure. The outs followed one another with such rapidity that the partisans of the teams on the benches hardly had time to yell with delight over the failure of the opposition before their lavoritcs were getting the same medicine.
 Ia the first half of the eighth when the wht o Pass scored, .aslr Par.isans danced aroaud the grounds like true Indians, but their joy also here was short lived for the A. Bs, immediately came back at them, evening up the record. And then the A. B. adherents darced lu their turn. The 9th inning saw DO change nor the 10th. In the las, hall Of the llth, Remenway was on frs, through an error and attempting the theft Of second when McN'me threw wild 10 second and Hemepway came safely in. No one was out but the game was done and the spectators turned into an open air asylum about half being affected with melaucholia and the other were mshiacs but not dangerous. A lot of money changed

No individual or corporation ever let's
second contract to any man whose
work is unsatisfactory and no excuses
for poor work are accepted either and
It is time that cities adopted the same
general rule. Every contractor expects
as q matter of course to be required to
fulfill every obligation of his contract
when he is working for an individual or
corporation. but lot Of them carry
the idea that they are privileged to do
poor work on any city job they" may
take They carry out their private con
tracts to the letter, but feel that they
are being abused when city makes
them carry out their agreements and
ask concessions from city that they
would never dream of asking from indi-
viduals. s'*

1t is easy enough to see why Mr.. Frost
is determined to hold his franchise on
Ashland avenue, but his attitude in re-
gard to building the Grand avenue ex-
tension is not so easily understood. He
must hold the franchise on Ashland
avenue to shut out competition and pre-
vent the entrance Of any outside road
into the city, but as far as the business
of the company goes it certainly looks
as if line on Grand avenue would pay
fully as well if not better than one on
Ashland avenue. Neither of these ex-
tensions may pay from the start as the
rest of the road did, but they are GER
tain to return big money on the invest
ment required to build them in very
few years and the men who have in
vested their money in property in out
lying sections on the promise that they
were to be given service have a right
to demand that it be given them even
it the company does run behind on these
extensions for little while. The two
sections of the city tapped by these
two lines are going to develop very
rapidly and the people who build them
up must of necessity be constant pat
rons of the company, .a

The tributes paid to the memory Of
the late Charles Quarles by his associ-
ates Of the bench and bar are no mean
ingless forms, but are marked by a
deep feeling of personal loss which
finds an echo in. the heart of every man
who came into contact with him in his
busy, many sided life. He was not only
respected for his great learning and in
tenectual attachments, but he possessed
that higher and better nature that
makes and keeps friends. He was both
respected and loved. The two do not
always go together.

The street railway company should
instruct its conductors to open the left
hand or east doors on it's cars going
south on West Main street and permit
it's patrons to get on or, off on the side
farthest from the tracks of the North
western road. The proximity of the
tracks of the street railway on West
Main street to those Of the Northwest
ern line makes it dangerous to enforce
the usual rule of only leaving or enter
ing cars on the right hand side on the
stretch of road on that street between
South and Elizabeth streets for it is
necessary for patron of the street
cars to invade the right of way of the
other road to get on or off on that side.
1t is only question Of time until some
patron of the street railway becomes
confused and either steps off the street
cars directly in front of an approaching
train or is caught by the falling gates
that guard the crossings of the steam
road and is killed or seriously injured.
There have been some narrow ESCAPES
recently. We do not suppose that the
street railway company could be held
liable for any accident that might hap
pen on the right of way of the steam
road, but it is duty that it owes to
its patrons to protect them in every pos
sible way from any danger Of accident
and the change suggested would GER
tainly decrease the chances of acct
dents. Railway managers always hest
tate to change established customs in
the operation of their cars as the public
seldom takes kindly to a new order of
things, but there could be no complaints
from the patrons Of the street railway
company in this case as the change
would so clearly be for their benefit.

FAIR EXHIBIT
GETS $l6OO.OO
COMMISSIONERS GIVE A THIRD
OF WHAT WAS ASKED BY
TAXPAYERS - BELIEVED IT
WILL BE SUFFICIENT.

An appropriation Of $500 to be
used In collecting an exhibition of
the products OF Nez Perez county
for the Lewiston and Seattle fairs
was made this morning by the coun-
ty commissioners. .
The commissioners were asked to
make an appropriation of $4,000 for
this purpose and were visited Wed
nesday by delegation OF 20 of the
heaviest taxpayers Of the city. A
petition containing a large number
OF the largest taxpayers from all
sections OF the county was also pre-
scented.
The commissioners hold that
$1,000 will provide sufiicient sum
to secure comprehensive exhibit
of the county's products and in view
Of the bond issue asking for $4,000
for the improvement of the court
house, it was not believed advisa
bic TO burden the taxpayers with q
heavier burden at this time
The commissioners are heartily
in sympathy with the plans of the
Nez Perez Fair association to ex-
plot the county's resources, both al
the Lewiston and Seattle fairs. but
based the appropriation upon what
| they believed would meet with the
approval Of the taxpayers generally

COMMISSIONERS DENY ApPLlCA.
TON OF TIMBER COMPANIES.
AND PETITION OF ORCHARD
TRACT RESIDENTS.

The county commissioners last
night followed the action OF tho
commissioners of Latah and Sho.
shone counties by denying the ap-
plication OF the timber companies to
reduce the assessment OF timber
lands. The assessment this year Is
based upon a valuation Of $3.50 per
acre, while last year the assessed
valuation was IS per acre. The
matter will probably be carried te
the state board Of equalization.
Tho commissioners also denied
the petition OF the residents OF the
Lewiston Orchards tract for reduc
ton OF the assessment. The assess
ed valuation last year was fixed a.
$50 per acre. as 1t was classed a
dry land at the time the assessment
was made. The assessment this yea
is based upon a valuation OF $15'
per acre.
The business OF the session wa
concluded today and an adjourn
ment taken until September 10
when a special meeting will be hel
to Ak the tax levy.
