JAP HAS EXCELLENT
CHANCE TO WIN RACE

the recent ten-mile race hurt him sore
ly So keenly did he feel an this point
that he was willing to race Anton KaoI
again for nothing at all but the glorA
involved by winning the race.
rsukamoto should win the coming
race. He runs easily and strongly, mas
youth on his side and has frequently
gone the route in his own country. AS
a ten-miler he won't do and it is
probable that there are several runners
here who could beat him at that
distance, if properly trained.
AS a Marathon runner, however,
Tsukamoto looms up large and danger
Gus.
Jackson is undoubtedly a gritty run
ner but is practically all in as far as
running twenty-six miles is concerned.
You can dope an old cripple OF horse
up so that a race can be got out Of
him, but this race is more often than
not his last winning race.
SO with Jackson. The Haleiwa race,
the ball Park Marathan and the Hllo
contest took the starch out of him to
such a degree that it can't be put back
and while ne may last the distance,
which is in itself doubtful, he is pretty
certain to lack the speed necessary to
defeat the virile Japanese. You can't
get new speed out of old bodies without
the runner having to pay the piper.

Council Proceedings

At the regular meeting OF the city
council, held on Tuesday, there was a
considerable amount of important bust
ness transacted.
a petition was received and accepted
asking for the extension OF the grade on
Fourth avenue from its present terminus
to the city limits on the west. A petit
ton asking that the grades Oh Spokane
avenue be extended further north was
acted upon in the same manner.
A petition from some of the ladies Of
Newport, who are anxious that the city
be made more attractive by the plant
ing of shade trees, was received. After
some discussion it was decided to await
the proclamation or the governor nam
ing Arbor day and that the matter
would be considered after that.
Attorney Sherlock reported that the
question of trying to secure a pension
for AL Avery, an INDECENT, had been in
vestigated by him, and that he had
found that Avery had served % days in
the Indian war in this state and had
been paid for such service. 1t was also
stated that pension could not be
granted unless the services had been
special act Of congress.
Steve Harris asked that, in case he
purchased the building now occupied by
Chas. Storms as livery barn, he would
be given permission TO remove the same
to the rear OF his blacksmith shop adj
joining. This brought up the question
Of moving buildings OF this character in
the fire limits. No definite action was
taken, but Mr.. Harris was informed that
he would probably be granted the per-
NIT.
Councilman Willard reported that
some of the buildings in the business
district were standing over cesspools,
and that this made the sanitary condi-
tions very bad. The marshal was in
styucted to notify the owners of the
property to have the conditions rene
died at once.
The pump in the sidewalk in front of
the Eckerson building on Washington
avenue, between Second and Third
streets, was ordered removed within 20
days and the we'll filled up. If not done
within that time the city will cause the
work to be done.
Harry Saddler, who is excavating at
the site of the old opera house building,
offered to furnish a large quantity Of
top dressing for several streets in the
vicinity OF the old building. The matter
will be considered by the proper COM
mittee.
The property owners in the Union
avenue Improvement district were or
dered to construct sidewalks in front Of
their property within 80 days of the
date of the meeting.

Will Vote on Bonding School District

The school board of district No. ll5
met Tuesday afternoon and organized
by the selection of f. S. Appel as chair
man and D. R. Lusher az clerk F. 0.
Mills was reappointed truant officer.
A resolution was adopted calling for
a special election, at which the matter
of bonding the district for the rounding
of the old bonds and taking up of the
warrant indebtedness will be submitted
to the voters. The date for the election
was not set, as the board must send for
the necessary blanks for giving notice OF
the election, but it will likely be held
within few weeks.

establish bench marks throughout the
town. 1t was decided that the council
did not consider this feasible at the
present, but the new engineer was in
structed to extend the proposed grades
on Fourth street and Spokane avenue.
The question of a sidewalk from
Fourth street to the Great Northern
depot was discussed, and the matter
will be taken up with the officials of the
railroad
Ordinances were introduced regarding
the Scott avenue grade, regulating the
use OF the city dumping grounds and
regulating the operations of railroads
within the city limits. The latter ordi-
nance is very stringent in its provisions.

Dynamite on the Dinkey

A man with a sack of dynamite
boarded the Great Northern east bound
dinkey on Tuesday night. The sack
was in poor condition and some of the
sticks fell out on the floor. This created
small panic in the car as the passen-
gers were afraid that the jar of the train
would cause the dynamite to explode
and blow them into eternity.
They appealed to the conductor to put
the man off the train at Alben Falls
but that official did not care to do so.
The man might use some of the stuff to
protect himself.
On the arrival OF the train at Priest
River the man, who was a miner, left
the train and took his powder with. him
greatly to the relief of the passengers
and train crew.

afternoon on frame building 24x60,
