CITY AHEAD BIC
sum ON SEWER
Got Job Done For Many Thous-
ands Less Than Cost to
Contractor

On the sewer system, now prac-
tically completed, the city has
agreed to pay, to avoid any possi-
bility of a long-drawn-out legal
tangle, $500 more than the origin
al price of s3S, 900. provided in the
contract entered into last year with
the Northwest Municipal Construc-
ton Co.
On the other hand, the city has
received, according to the sewer en-
gineer, job which is worth from
$15. 900 to SIC, 900 more than the
contract price called for. In other
words, Contractor Burns, working
with the most modern equipment
and methods has given the city a
$54 900 sewer system for $41 500
and he and his hackers have pock-
eted a loss of $12, 500 besides a
years time and depreciation on
equipment.
Final adjustment between the
city, the contractor and the bond
ing company was made in Spokane
Monday, the city being represented
by its attorney, c. l.. Holcomb,
who had been given the authority
by the council last week to make
the additional payment as stated
above.
1t had been agreed by the coun-
Gil that the $500 would better be
spent in helping pay the contractors
bills than to carry the case through
year or more of litigation and be
held up for that length of time on
the final completion of the system.
Laying the sewer was certainly
one hard piece of digging, the
trencher having to tear it's way
through strata of cement gravel
almost from beginning to end. The
contractor must have realized soon
after he started that he was up
against a heavy loss and since he
can be no better paid he certainly
is deserving of the thanks and good
wishes of the community for his
honesty in finishing the task; and
the city council commended as well
for securing such favorable adjust
ment.

COURIER CONTEST
WILL BE LIVELY
Six Contestants Working Hard for
Big Cash Prizes-Help
Your Favorite Win

Ever since the initial announce
ment in the last issue of the Courier
concerning our Popularity Contest
which opened last Monday morning,
nominations have been reaching
this Office for the most popular
young lady in this locality.
The list printed above shows those
who have been chosen to participate
in the contest and it will be to two
of these popular young ladies that
the prizes of 500 and $40 in gold
will be awarded.
Saturday evening, June 7th, the
date set for the distribution of these
valuable prizes, is but Is days off.
The time is short and those who
would win would best be up and
doing every minute of the time.
Either prize is well worth the efforts
of any of those in the race, and con-
sidering the brief period of time
spent, the girl who wins either of
the prizes will have earned more
than she could possibly have made
in any other line of endeavor.
What are you going to do about
it, young lady? Where is your
name going to appear when the final
count is made On the 7th of June,
but two short weeks away? Is it
going to be right up at the top of
the list, or are you going to fall
behind? Procrastination is the
thief of time and the despoiler of
opportunity" Right now is the
time for you to make up your mind
that the big prize is going to be
yours. Do it now. Then get in
and win.
You Can Help Her Win
Which one of those entered would
you rather see win? Think it over
and then hunt her up and pay her
for your subscription for year, or
two, or three. It costs you nothing
extra to help her out. All you have
to do is to pay the regular subscrip-
ton price for the Courier, and the
votes she gets on that subscription
may be the ones that will enable her
to win. Yes, your subscription
may mean the difference between
victory and defeat for her. Right
now is the time to give it to her, too.
She will receive more votes on it
now than at any other time. So
hunt her up and give it to her the
first time you see her.
Do it now.

soundly whipping the Turk will recall
that "TruXton King" the play to be
presented at the Lyceum theatre, To-
ledo, all next week, has to do with the
mythical principality of "Graustark,"
supposed to be situated in the Balkan
country. Indeed, Graustark, with its
bitter political strifes, its court in
trigues, wars of diplomacy, actual
clash Of arms, and its fierce loves and
hates, might easily be imagined as to
be found in some corner of Bulgaria,
or Servia or Montenegro. George Barr
McCutcheon, who wrote the novel,
tells a tale full well, and he gives his
fertile imagination full sway when his
pen has to do with the Graustark reg
ion. What with its sparkling romance
and clear note of action "TruXton
King" ought TO make as pleasing a
stage entertainment as "Graustark,"
which novel of Mr.. McCutcheon's GER
tainly proved an agreeable play.
All of the characters move through
