will Aid Pr0spectOrs

It is expected to make the presence
of prospectors one of the leading fea-
lures of the Northwest Mining Conven-
ton, to be held in Spokane Feb. Is to
II, under the auspices of the Mining
Mems Club. A large attendance of
prospectors and claim owners is ex-
pected, and it is stated that everything
possible to bring out their views re-
garding their needs upon legislation and
other subjects affecting the prospector
will be done. With this object in view
the sessions of the convention and the
smoker in connection with it will be as
informal as possible, and nothing will
be omitted to encourage the prospectors
to express their views.
Another way in which it is to benefit
them is by bringing them in contact
with mining operators and capitalists
seeking investments, and by enabling
them to tell the public about the dis
tricts in which they are operating.
The prospector also is urged to bring
and exhibit samples of ore and mineral
from the district in which he is inter
ested. The exhibit being arranged for
will include not only ores, minerals and
mining products, but new ideas and i'm
provements in mining machinery will
be one of the attractions.

Council Proceedings

The town council met in regular ses-
sion Tuesday evening with all members
and the mayor present.
The finance committee reported the
towns books of several years ago in
very bad shape, and asked permission
to employ additional help in auditing
the books, which was granted. Itlooks
as if the state inspectors will have
some work ahead when they get around
to looking over Newport's records.
Several changes in location of street
lights, including the removal of arcs to
closer in points and substitution Of in
candescents, were discussed.
Report of J. M. Mcdonald, police
magistrate, showing fines amounting to
$152 imposed during the month of Jan
uary, was received.
Reports of the town treasurer and
clerk for the preceding year were pre-
sented and referred to the finance com
mittee for auditing.
Third reading of the application of
VIM. Kirklin for telephone franchise
was again postponed. 1t is generally
understood that this franchise is desired
by the Pacific States Telephone Co., and
the matter is postponed awaiting the
outcome of the litigation between the
Pacific States and Interstate over the
possession of the Newport exchange,
which is still in the hands of Federal
Judge Rudkin for decision.
Ordinance No. 1926, the much cussed
and discussed ordinance fixing the sal
aries of town officers for the ensuing
year, came up for third reading and
passage and went through without
amendment. The ordinance fixes the
salary of the clerk at $40 per month:
city attorney, $25 per month; police
officers, $75 per month; police magis-
trate, 81 per year and a commission of
Is per cent on fines collected.
Following claims were allowed and

a glimpse OF her white face desperate

had looked into the unfathomable
depth of her eyes at that moment
when she had awakened In his arms
after such struggle as had taxed his
manhood and almost broken his heart:
he had carried her unconsciousIy,
ghastly white with her pain-drawn

depths there yet Iurked life and light,
while her golden hair tinged Grim

fighting against fact and admission OF
1t, yet how could he help it?
He had loved once before in his life
with the fire of youth and spring. but
it was not like this He did not rec
ognize this new passion in any light
from the past; therefore he would not
admit it. Hence, he did not under
stand it. But he saw and admitted
and understood enough to know that
the past was no longer the supreme
subject in his life. that the present
rose higher, bulked larger and hid
more and more of his far-off horizon.
He felt like a knave and a traitor,
as ii he had been base, disloyal. false
to his ideal, recreant to his remem-
brance. Was he indeed a true man?
Did he have that rugged strength, that
abiding faith, that eternal conscious
ness, that lasting affection, beside
which the rocky paths he often trod
were things transient, perishable, ev-
anescent? Was he weakling that he
fell at the first sight of another
woman?
He stopped his ceaseless pace for
ward and backward, and stopped near
that frail and futile door. She was
there and there was none to prevent.
His hand sought the latch.
What was he about to do? God for
bid that thought he could not freely
share with humanity should enter his
brain then. He held all women sacred,
and SO he had ever done, and this
woman in her loneliness, in her help

working of disordered brain, too
too much turned upon itself and with
too tremendous a pressure upon it,
producing an illusion? Was there in
truth any woman there? He would
raise the latch and open the door and
look. Once more the hand went stealth
lily to the latch.
The woman slept quietly on. No thin
barricade easily unlocked or easily
broken protected her. Something in
tangible, yet stronger than the thick
est, the most rigid bars Of steel guard
ed her; something unseen, indescrib-
able, but SO unmistakable when it
throbs in the breast Of those who de-
pend on 1t feel that their dependence
is not In vain watched over her.
Cherishing no evil thought, the man
had power TO crafty his desire which
might yet bear sinister construction
should 1t be observed. 1t was her pri-
vacy he was invading. She had trust
ed to him, she had said SO, to his hon.
or, and that stood her In good stead
His honor. Not in five years had he
heard the word or thought the thing,
but he had not forgotten it. She had
not appealed to an unreal thing; upon
that her trust was based. His hand
left the latch, it fell gently, he drew
back and turned away trembling, a
conqueror who mastered himself He
was awake to the truth again.
What had he been about to do? Pro-
fame, unlimited, the sanctity OF her
chamber, violate the hospitality of his
own house? Even with a proper mo-
tive, imperil his self-respect, shatter
her trust, endanger that honor which
SO suddenly became part Of him on
demand? She would not probably
know; she could never know unless
she awoke. What of that? That an
cient honor of his life and race rose
like a mountain whose scarped face
cannot be scaled
He fell back with swift turn, a
feeling almost womanly; and more
men. perhaps, IL they lived in fem
mime isolation, as self-centered as
women are SO often by necessity,
would be as feminine as their sisters
influenced him, overcame him. His
hand went to his hunting shirt Nerv-
ously he tore it open: he grasped
bright object that hung against his
breast. AS he did SO. the thought came
to him that not before in five years
had he been for moment uncon-
scious Of the pressure of that locket
over his heart, but now that this 9TH
er had come, he had to seek for it to
find It.
The man dragged 1t out, held 1t In
his hand and opened 1t. He held Ii so
tightly that 1t almost gave beneath
the strong grasp of his strong hand.
From nearby box he drew another
object with his other hand. He took
the two to the light, the soft light of
the candle upon the table. and stared
