The body of a man floating face
downward in the river a few feet be-
low the Spring street bridge at {
o'clock yesterday morning sent a
thrill of suspense and excitement
over the city. An hour later the body
was towed to the bank and identified
as James Campbell, a we'll known
sheep man living near Lacrosse.
Campbell had been in town for a
day or two and is said to have been
drinking. He was last seen alive at
$50 o'clock Wednesday evening.
A slight cut on the cheek indicated
that he had fallen but there was not
a mark 70 indicate foul play. His
pockets contained SIS in gold and
about 50 in silver besides a check

Never before in the history of the
city have politics been talked in the
homes as much as this year For
the first time women will have some
thing TO say regarding the adminis-
tration of public affairs. They are
busy trying TO find the attitude of the
different candidates that they may
vote intelligently. Others are wait

mark it without spelling it.

A change in the location of the
packing house, which the NJ. & w.
market people are to build in this
city, was decided upon at a meeting

Permission was granted the company
to erect their packing house, slaugh-
ter house and StOckyards on a tract

cred by far the best location for the
purpose in the city Work on the
building will be commenced this fall
if the weather will permit. If con-
ditiOns are not favorable for early
building the work will be taken up at
the earliest possible moment in the
spring. An island in the river will
be used as a StOckyard.

tion instructing the engineer to pre-
pare plans and specifications for the
construction of sewer on Last street
and for short distance on Main
street on either side of Last street.

tiOn company accepted for the three
Improvement districts which nave

new TOWN MAKES
PLACE FOR ITSELF
MAIDEN is One OF The LIVELIEST
BURGS ALONG The new
MILWAUKEE.

Although an infant in years, Nal
den, the new Milwaukee railroad
town, is rapidly growing to be a
strong, lusty youngster among the
towns of eastern Washington. More
than so new residences were built
during the first seven months of this
year and still others are under way
at the present time. 1t is the large
number of comfortable, modern resi-
dences which makes a hit with the
visitor, who for the first time, is see
ing the new town in the northern
part Of Whitman county.
Maiden had, and still has, many
things to contend but for all that it
is steadily growing and assuming an
important place for itself, not only
as a railroad town on the main line
OF one of the best trans-continental
roads, but as a Palouse country bust
| hess town. 1t was only three years
ago this fall that the first construc-
tion train ran into Maiden bringing
steam shovels and other equipment
for work farther along the line A
month or two later everything froze
up and the town was marooned until
spring. Probably there were not
more than 100 people who spent that
first winter in the town developing
the plans for business which was
bound to come. During that winter

averaged more than 1000. At the
present time all construction work is
tied up but the regular pay roll runs
up between $35, 900 and $4,000 a
month.
More than a million dollars has
been spent by the Milwaukee people
in making Maiden a division point.
More trackage is in daily use in the
Maiden yards than there is room for
in the Spokane yards OF the COM
pany. The largest turn-table in the
world is in use here. The round
house is equipped with ten stalls.
Train crews for the freight divis-
ions both east and west live in Nal
den. 1t is also a passenger division
point, as we'll as the home of the
superintendent of the Columbia di-
vision, extending nearly $50 miles,
and headquarters for the lumber and
material department, bridge depart
ment, train dispatcher, road master,
chief carpenter and several other OPP
Grating officials. The town is head
quarters for everything between Gle
Elum and Avery. The officials are
all high salaried men. Passenger
engineers making their home in the
city are earning approximately S215
a month. Passenger conductors pull
down about s175, freight engineers
from $50 10 $500 and freight con-
ductors from $125 10 $175.
The town has population of from
1000 10 1900 and about twO-thirds
Of them are railroad people. The
gh officials all own their own
homes. A modern four-room house
rents for $40 month. A tive-rOOm
house brings $25.
Workmen are now busy doubling
the boiler capacity of the power plant
at the round house. Compressed air
is used for power around the shops
and yards.
The train service consists of two
first class steel passenger trains each
way day and one first class and one
second class freight train each way.
All trains stop Is minutes while the
eqSSpment is inspected. Large ice
hq~ss are also located here for the
i.rigerator car service. Feed yards
are equipped for caring for two train
loads of stock at a time. When capt.
tai for railroad development loosens
up again there is much work TO be
done along the line in the way of
boring tunnels, Strengthening curves
and reducing grades, all of which will
mean much to Maiden.
The only way TO progress is to
progress" has been the motto of the
people who are responsible for the
wonderful development in SO short a
time in the railroad town. Nearly
every line of business is well repre-
sented and while the stocks are not
large they are being steadily increas-
ed to meet the demands of the in
creased needs. The business men are
conservative and are building on a
solid foundation. Property is re-
markably free from mortgage. The
two banks are doing a good business.
By their last statement the Farmers
& Mechanics State bank showed re-
sources of $4,000 and the First Ma
tionai had something like $101 600.
Very few savings accounts are carried
and the deposits are practically all
working capital. Farmers in that
part of the country have been doing
business with the older banks for
many years, but many of the young
farmers looking for loans are coming

of them had enjoyed all the

ANOTHER PIONEER
CITIZEN DEAD
Mr.. r. II. Goodwin, Full Of Years and
Honor, Died at His Home In
the City Today.

At 1l:40 o'clock this morning one of
Bryan's Oldest pioneer citizens breathed
his last and long and useful life came
to an end. Mr.. r. H. Goodwin, well
known on account Of his long residence
in this city and his upright and useful
life, has passed over the Great Divide;
he has cast off this mortal and put on
immortality.
MIR. Goodwin was "A years IL months
% days OF age and had been resident
OF Bryan for many years. He was a
native of Georgia and went to the war,
entering the Confederate army from
this state. His war record Is one of
marked bravery and yalor Like his
ever staunch and true nature. he de-
Tended the Lost Cause with his utmost
strength and made for himself record
that lives in the hearts OF those who
keep alive the memories OF the grand
old legions in gray.
He was a faithful, true man OF the
South and his bravery in fighting the
battles of life even surpassed that dis
played in the war with men. A true
father, dependable friend and a
Christian heart made up the character
of this pioneer citizen, and II is with
bowed heads and meek hearts that the
last tributes of love and respect are
bestowed by the many friends who join
the bereaved family in mourning his
death.
He had been in feeble health for
some years and had his place among
those old heroes who like vine cling
to the wall of memory of the Old
Southland, and as one by one they pass
these familiar lines are brought to
mind:
"The vine still clings to the moulder-
ing wall.
| And at every gust the dead fall"
Besides his widow, he is survived by
six children. all residing In this city,
namely: Mrs o. l.. Miller, Mrs. ]. L.
Robertson. Mrs. J. W. Hunnicutt
James Goodwin. Miss Lottie Goodwin and
Charles Goodwin
