The Lite Work of Thomas
Lowry.

The life work of Thomas Lowry
vas the upbuilding of the north
vest. His part in that is his best
public monument, as the love OF
his fellows is his best private mem
rial. Millions have shared this
work with him, but he was one
Of the few leaders chosen by fitness
and fate for Immortality in the his
tory Of it,
If the history of Mr.. Lowry
seems more narrowly connected
with his city than that of other
notib'e builders of the Northwest,
it is because his home has for so
long been the heart of the North
vests commerce and industry
His influence has been felt where
ever the metropolis has extended
its imperial domain.
The Jest street transit system in
the United States is more than a
local monument. Already it binds
three cities together with cheap and
rapid transportion Already its
suburban lines follow and antic-
ipate demand for short line transit.
With its command of public con-
fdence and business credit. = third
city invites its coming and the in
terurban field of the whole North
west lies open to 4.
The connection of MIR. Lowry
with the steam transportation OF
the Northwest was significant Of
his service to his community
During his personal direction Of
the Sault company, the principle
of low rate competition through
Canada to the seaboard has beer
expanded east, north, west ans
finally south to the very citadel o
American trunk line control.
But they who wers nearest 10 Mr.
Lowry knew we'll that the thing
he did were not his greatest work
The others who did big things b.
his side know we'll what they ow

this counted most passed years ago

He devoted himself untiringly to
his work and became more pro-
ficient in it. His love Of truth IS
remarkable in the extreme and
It is upon the sOiidity Of such
foundation that. his great fame
rests. Strong in moral character
he identified himself with a great
cause ana with rare and wonderful
ability stood by principles and
manifested his wonderful power to
lead men.
With this ability he held the men
of a nation together through
the thrOes of a terrible strife
which from its very nature threat
ened to burst it assunder. On
March 18th 1861 Lincoln was
naugerated President. His ad-
dress was an earnest appeal for
peace, an announcement of the
policy of the government and a
putting Of the responsibility of any
blood shed upon those who should
reslSC such law.
Through the dark days of strife
which followed he was all III all to
his men brother, advisor and up
litter. He assumed no dignifed
air but shook hands, told stories
and uttered jokes which cheeredhis
army on to victory when they were
scarcely conscious of being thus
led. His tenderness and compass
ion won for him universal graft
ude and his belief in the Divine
supervision in the affairs of men
and nations teaches us a lesson we
need to study and ponder over in
this day and age as we'll as when
times seemed in 80 much more of
a turmoil.
His sad fate at the hand of a
cruel assassin is familiar to all
alike, but we rejoice that the stroke
which brought with it the close of
such a noble life was stayed until
Lincoln had seen the total collapse
of the Rebellion, the cause to
which he devoted sach earnest
effort and energy. All that a CRATE,
full and Borrowing nation could dc
in his honor was done in memory
of his character and services.
Ever since the death of these be.
loved men orators of every degrst
of ability have exhausted language
in their enconiuns of their great.
ness and glory and this glcry is
immortal. As representatives Of
the present generation we wish tc
add our word In fond memory and
do our part towards the perpetual

Three Ways to be a Winner.

There are three different ways to
secure votes. First. by cutting out
the coupons that appear in each is
sue of the Public Opinion, filling
them in properly and sending them
in to this office; also have your
friends save them for you, and when
you call for them, ask them to give
you their subscription to the Public
Opinion. The second way is to get
NEW SUBSCRIBERS for the Public
Opinion. A schedule of the number
of votes for each amount paid in on
subscription will be found in this
paper A third way is to get old
subscribers to pay up back subscrip-
tions and also in advance if they will.
The schedule applies on both new
and old subscriptions. The more
money brought in by a candidate or
her friends on subscription, the more
votes she will get. The votes Will be
counted just before each issue OF the
paper and the standing announced in
the Public Opinion each week until
the last few days of the contest, when
the ballot box will be sealed and no
more counting done until the contest
is over. The public is invited to
watch each count made to be sure
that everything is fair and impartial.

Answers to Questions From
Candidates and Friends
of Candidates.

We have received letters from peo-
pie and also personal inquiries re-
garding the contest. We received a
letter from a man in this county ask
ing us If we were really going to give
this automobile away to the girl hav-
ing the most number of votes at the
close of the contest. He seemed to
be in doubt as to whether the Pub
lie Opinion could afford to give away
so many valuable prizes fer the mon
ey collected in such short time.
We have written him that we are
positively going to give these prizes
according TO our statements and
promises in former publications as
well as in this issue. 1t makes nc
difference to the Public Opinion who
wins, other than that we are here
to see that the girls who have the

To be frank about it, the Public

this expense of over 100000 Is

FIREMEN HOLD MEETING

The fire department held a meet
Ing for the purpose of taking action
upon certain proposed amendments to
the bylaws OF the organization, and
also to transact other business.
Among other matters that we're dis
cussed was the report OF committee
appointed some time ago to secure
furniture for the quarters OF the de-
partment at the new city hall. The
committee, II seems, had gone to the
council and requested that II furnish
the quarters and upon being advised
that that body was not Ia a position to
do SO purchased $231 worth of furni-
ture, to be paid for by funds In the
treasury. A number OF the members
opposed this action of the committee
and considerable discussion was in
dulged In with relation to 1t. No def
mite action, however, was taken, and
another meeting will be held for Its
consideration In the near future.

Old Furnaces and stoves are For

Arrangements have been made by
the school board for the instaliment
OF furnaces in the Lakeyiew school

of these furnaces viii be furnished by
the .Colquhoun Hardware store, and
the other from VIM. Brown of spok-
ane and the two will cost $500. The
furnaces are guaranteed-that is, so
far as they are concerned, but the
Colquhoun Hardware Co. would not
guarantee its complete operation, ow-
ing to the fact that the store has had
nothing to do with the installation of
the pipes, and any trouble arising by
reason OF these the firm will not be
responsible foP
Both OF these buildings were sup
piled with furnaces, but they were, ac-
cording to statements of members OF
the board, too small to heat the
buildings during the cold weather
that prevailed, and were oyerheated
so that the top was burned out, and II
was found necessary to install larger
furnaces. The old furnaces were four
foot concerns and the new are Ave
foot, and of sufficient capacity to heat
the buildings, 1t is said, through the
coolest kind of weather.
