High Water Looked For

Captain Elliott, of the Northern Nav
igation Co, states that high water in
the Pend Oreille is looked for this year,
in view of the late season and the con-
tinued cold weather with snowfall in
the mountains. Although the lake was
the lowest this spring it has been in a
great many years, high water is never
theless looked for. The mountains are
yet full of snow, and if the weather
should turn suddenly warm, as it is apt
to do this late in the season, the heavy
snowfall will insure high water.-Sand-

GR0NEN, PROBABLE HEAD;
TO 0OST SUPT. COLLINS

Hamilton F. Gronen, engineer
on the NisQually power plant, will
be elected by the council tomor-
row to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation OF B. ]. Weeks
as light and water commissioner.
This was settled at the mayors
home Saturday afternoon.
Gronen will still do the engi-
neering on the Nisqually job and
will simply take on the general
supervision of the rest of the
business In the light and water
department, doing the whole
thing for one salary.
He will not become a candidate
at the spring election for the un-
expired term of two years but
will go back to the position of
engineer OF the Nisqually plant.
Mr.. Gronen this morning ac-
knowledged that he had agreed
to accept the task left by Weeks
temporarily. He said he had not
yet been elected, however, and he
did not desore to lay out plans
until he got into the work and in
vestigated to see what is needed
He said that Electrician B. w.
Collins would probably quit.
Gronen apparently recognizes
the fact that one of the big rea-
sons Lawson went down was the
administration of Collins and also
that Collins was one of the main
reasons why Weeks is out and he
will probably not court trouble
from the same source.
"Collins will probably not
stay" he said today.
One job Gronen will have to
undertake will be to plan and
start the reconstruction of the
distribution system. The system
In the beginning was single
phase, then it was enlarged to
two-phase and the new substa-
tion has been constructed with a
view to making the whole city
three-phase. This means the dis
tributing system will have to be
practically rebuilt this summer.
1t will cost probably $1,000.
The resignation of Weeks now
throws the place open for the
people to elect some one for the
uneNpired term of two years.
There is a possibility of A. u.
Mills coming out for this term in
stead of the long one. He said
this morning he had not consid-
cred the matter, and that he was

1T is a legal holiday.
The clerk closed the doors.
Every year in the past the reg
istration books have been kept
open not only on Lincoln's birth
day but on Washington as we'll.
No question was ever raised on
1t. Judge Stiles said he did not
know it this morning. He said
there was nothing in the election
law and no special provision in
law prohibiting registration, but
that the general statute making
the transaction of business on a
legal holiday void is the basis on
which he ordered registration
stopped.
A number of workingmen and
women came to the city hail after

Shortly before the trolley was

Wealth. What does all this
mean?"
Then the sheriff told him. He
was the last man seen with the
supposed dead man. He knew
that Teppin had drawn his gold
from the bank. No one had seen
him between 1 and 10 that morn
ing. The circumstantial net of
evidence was perfect.
AS a matter of fact, Teppin
was not dead. He had quietly
left the country. He did not
learn of what had happened nine
years later, when he went at
once to the Salem pen and
wrought Veath's release.
