SETTLED WITH WATER CO.
Town Will Pay Flat Rate oil
| $50 a Month
Suit Started On Garter Warrants

A special meeting Of the town council
was held Tuesday evening, for the pur-
pose ef coming to an agreement with the
Newport Water Co., as to the rate to be
charged the city for fire protection and
the payment for such service for the
past IA months.
/ &. w. Sutherland, superintendent OF
water company, appeared and made a
proposition that the town pay $50 a
month for fire protection, with the priv
lllege of putting in as many hydrants as
desired, the agreement to cover the
fourteen months past and three years to
come, the city to pay for the new hy-
drants and the cost of installing the
fame. He also presented bill for 1855
for six hydrants installed during the
past year
On looking up the water company's
franchise it was found that by the terms
of the franchise the town was bound to
pay 500 a month for five hydrants dur
ing the life of the franchise, which has
yet 10 years to run. On motion the
proposition Of the water company was
accepted, Bennett, Willard and Lutz
voting yea and Hvnes and Caldwell nav.
A discussion of licensing amusements.
ETC., resulted in a rate of IS per month
being made for moving picture shows.
For the Fourth of July charge of $3.50
will be made for licenses for stands and
$40 for games of chance. 1t was decided
to have new ordinance drafted cover
ing the issuance of licenses.
There was reada copy of the complaint
in the suit of Chas. F. Craig versus the
town and Fred Phillips, treasurer, seek
ing to compel the payment of the Carter
springs warrants, the complaint having
been served on Mayor Appel on June 10
by Messrs. Belden & Losey, of Spokane.
1t requires that an answer be made to
the complaint within 20 days of the date
of service, and City Attorney Sherlock
was instructed to make such answer.
The warrants were issued April 5,
1907, to {. A. Carter in payment for
springs on his property east of town,
purchased with view to the town ac-
quiring water rights. There are Is OF
these warrants for 800 each, drawn on

of the river have been kept. As vet no
damage has been done to the railroad
grade.
The first damage done by the hig h

Voted Down Addition TO School.

BY vote of 139 to 80 the voters Of
School District No lis turned down the
proposition to build an addition to the
present school building. The election
was held at the school house Tuesday,
and although but little discussion had
taken place previously, opponents of the
building proposition had no difficulty in
rallying forces against it.
The result of this election cannot be
construed as significant OF the attitude
of the people towards the schools. Many
opposed the erection of an addition on
the grounds that building should be de-
layed until the district was able to put
UP fireproof structure on different
site. a majority of the board favored
building the addition at this time be-
cause of their opinion that the district
was not in shape for greater expendi-
ture, and AS they were up against the
necessity OF providing more school room
by the opening of the next term. the
proposed addition seemed the only FEAST
BILE plan.
1t is hardly probable that any other
method of supplying additional school
facilities will be tried this year. If the
schools become too crowded the board
Will likely rent rooms about the town
and do the best it can under the circnm.

QuAKES ROCK ISLAND
Haiti Also Swept by a Violent
Cyclone.

Port An Prince, Haiti, Nov. 49,
While this whole island has been rock
ing with earthquake tremors for near
~ week, it has been swept by a vio-
lent cyclone and deluged by disas:
trous foods.
Port de Paix is in ruins. Nineteen
dead already have been found in the
wreckage.
Gonaives is RACED. The work of the
wind and rain was completed when a
great tremor upheaved the bed of the
sea and sent billow of destruction
running across the land as high as a
mans head.
Many lie dead at Cape Haitien,
drowned by this sea flood, which
curled up the custom house there like
leaf and left it scattered ruin.
Death, wreck and ruin are every
where and the loss of property is in
calculable.
The sun has not been seen here in
four days. Meanwhile rain has fallen
steadily, accompanied by sharp flashes
of lightning and heavy thunder, which
made the earth culver.
All communication with the interior
OF the island has been destroyed.

Upon the Ballinger statement of
the facts President Taft wrote his let
ter sustaining Ballinger and giving
him clean bill of official health. It
10 understood that before this action
was taken former Secretary Garfield
offered to put the president in posses
sion of his version of the Alaskan
ca. es, IT Mr.. Taft should desire it.
The matter went no further at that
time.
Now it is known, through White
House gossip, that Garfield, having
waited in vain for request to send
In his statement, has sent it in any,
how.
Thus any further action that the
president may take in the Pinchot-
Ballinger case cannot later be ex-
planned on a claim on the part of the
friends of the president that he had
not been fully informed as to both
sides of the cases.
All this goes to show, it is pointed
out, that under cover of charges of
plots and conspiracies there is being
fought out way down beneath the
surface of the somewhat troubled wa
tiers of washington a certain bitter
struggle between the pro-Roosevelt-
1ans and the hackers, political and
otherwise, of Ballinger.
