THE NATIONAL FLOWER
Put on Successfully by the
Public School Teachers
and Children.

"The National Flower" home
talent attraction which was put on at
the Opera House in this city last Fri
day afternoon and evening by the
teachers and children of the Public
schools, was one of the best attrac-
tions ever staged in the city. The
children were well trained in their
songs and recitations and the affair
was an entire success. The Opera
House was packed at both per-
formances.
In the decision of the jury in this
play sack of Gold Medal Flour do
mated by d. w. Corning, was voted
the National Flour, despite the
pleas of the many other flowers to be
declared to that position.

DOES He REALLY KNOW THE FL
NANCIAL CONDITION OF
THE CITY.
COMPARISON OF STATEMENTS
SHOWING JUST THE AMOUNTS
EXPENDED AND WHAT MONEY
THERE IS ON HAND.

AS announced i'm our last week s
issue we will this week publish the
communication from Mayor Peavey in
which he endeavors to show that
some of our articles on Municipal
Affairs have been misleading, giving
the letter in it's entirety together
with an answer to the same in which
we will endeavor to show that the
statements contained in the letter are
not correct or according to the rec
ords.
The following is the letter:

Dear SIR

that you publish this letter of mine in
which ask you in fairness, if you want
to be right and square on this proposition,
and for no other motive. than putting be-
fore the people of the city. municipal
transactions just as they have taken place
to correct certain things.
In the first place, you give the impress
sion that it was matter of choice on the
part of the council to heat the city build
ing with the old boiler that was in or buy
a new one. While the fact was. that this
boiler was condemned, or about to be; and
further than this. it would not burn other
than soft coal which the residents in that
section refused to tolerate. We. therefore,
had this option instead: Of paying $3.50
(this was the lowest bid ofered) for re-
pairing the old one or $500 for putting in
a new one. And am perfectly willing
to leave it to you or any one else as to
whether we acted wisely or not, regard
less of the fact that the boiler or system
now used has not given the best of salts

The next mistake wish to call your at

Gil meeting on May 2Ist in which said
bank building lease was acted upon. tha,

Gil to take this up and be acted upon a,

William Burns Remodeling
Jones Building.
Expensive improvements to
be Made to the Building
at Once.

Washburn is to have new
theatre. VIM. Burns has leased
the lower floor of the Masonic
Hall building from the j. e..
Jones company and has let the
contract for the remodellng of
the building to James A. Sheri-
dan and the work was COM
menced the first of the present
week. The improvements con.
templated include the lowering
of the floor to the street level
and the putting in of new
Theatre front. With the floor
lowered this will give the build
a twenty foot ceiling and will be
sufficiently high to display the
pictures in good shape. The
Theatre front which will be in
stalled is now being manufact-
ured at Ashland. There will al
so be built a first class stage
and the plan is to stage all first
class road attractions at this
theatre in the future.
The building is to be ready
for business in the course of
forty-fve days and it is expect
ed that it will be open by that
time.

Peter Ole was elected to the

tion of Nils Ness. There were

made. Tim Manning was elect
ed Dumping Ground Master.
A resolution which has caused
no little comment, was present.
ed by Alderman Herring and has
to deal with the unjust discrim.
ination in the dividing of the city
business among the business
men of the city. The resolution
in full will be published in the
official proceedings in our next
issue but here he want to quote
one section which is as follows:
Resolved. by the Common
council of the city of Washburn
in regular session assembled,
that the various committees and
it's officers be and are hereby IN
structed to give the city's trade
from now on to e. Bergman un-
til the total purchases have
reached the sum of $2,162. 81,
after which the purchases will
be devided equally between the
two, meaning Mr.. Ungrodt and
Mr.. Bergman.
We think that the council
erred in allowing this portion of
the resolution to pass, for it is
only committing another mistake
in order to correct what was
Supposed to be an injustice. The
council should be more careful
and not be carried away from
their better judgement. This
part of the resolution should be
recinded at the next meeting,
for apparent wrongs cannot be
righted by committing another
error.
The Mayor Mr.. Peavey was
not present at the meeting and
therefore the council is morgan
lied. 1t is understood that he
will be epresent at the first meet
ing to be held in May to organ
ize his com mittees.
As it stands today the city is
without an acting Mayor in the
city, Mayor Peavey being at
Madison and the term of acting
Mayor Bryan having expired
with the last meeting of the old
council. 1t is likewise without
an acting committee.

In the matter of the boiler deal"
We may have given the impression
that it was a matter of choice on the
part ofthe council whether they
should have the old boiler repaired
or purchase a new one. 1t is news
to us and likewise to many others,
(including a majority of the council)
that the old boiler had been con-
demned, or was about to be. The
only complaint, SO far as we know,
that had been made against the old
boiler was because soft.coal was used
for fuel and the burning of this scat
tered SCOT about the streets near the
building. There had never been a
complaint to the effect that the boil
er was unsafe, at least the records do
not show it, If an investigation was
made, it must have been made by
the committee on Public Buildings,
likewise if the bid referred to was
made, it must have been made by a
member of this committee. What
were the repairs that would have
cost $55O.OO to maker What we
tended to show in our article and

Are for the Recall of the
Mayor and Alderman Ambly,
Clerk, Upon Advice of City
Attorney, Holds Same Lack
Enough Signatures.

At the Tuesday meeting of the
Common Council quite a little
excitement was caused when re.
call petitions were read for the
recall of Mayor H. Fl. Peavy and
Alderman Hans Amply of the
Srd ward. The petition for re.
call of the Mayor gives the fol-
lowing reasons for his removal:
Conspiring with other members
of the council in leasing public
property, signing orders that
were illegal, failing to scrutinize
bills presented for payment and
neglecting che duties of his
Office. The petition for the re-
call of Mr.. Ambly gave the fol-
lowing reasons: Conspiring with
other members of the council in
awarding contracts for the pur-
chase of material contrary to
law, ordering work done without
authority of council or proper
officers contrary to law, con-
spring with other mem bers of
finance committee in recon-
mending for passage bills that
were illegal and permitting an.
other member of the committee
to attach bills which were lille
gal to others already fled
The Peavy petition contained
in all 124 names while the Ambly
petition contained in all 39
names. The certificate of the
Clerk, made upon ADVICE of the
City Attorney. was to the effect
that each petition contained an
insufficient number of names to
carry out the purpose of the Pc
tition. N
Ten days time is now given
the circulators of the petition to
get the required number of
names and this, we understand
has been done in the case of the
recall Of the mayor.
AS we 60 to press we learn
that q total of 191 names has been
filed with the city clerk.
The ruling in the Ambly case,
to the effect that a number equal
to one third of the entire vote in
the city must be obtained to this
petition from the 3rd ward,
would make it impossible to get
the required number of names
from this one ward. Those back
of the petitions have taken the
matter up with the Attorney
general of the state to get his
ruling on the law, and they also
threaten to take the question in
to the courts to be decided.
An audience of nearly two
hundred people was present at
the meeting, and the CONNER
cial club room, where the meet
ing was held was packed to over.

MOTOR ROAD TO DAWSON.

Canada will have the longest and lonliest motor road in the world according to the recent decision of the government to build motor road into Dawson City. Fifty thousand dollars has been voted to the purposes of this road, and couple of other such votes will be necessary to finish it.
 At the present Dawson is only reached by stage in winter, when there is a deep coating of snow on the ground. It is the inten- tion of the government to build a road for motors 400 miles in length, from WhitehOrse, at the head of Yukon's two thousand miles of navigation, right into Dawson City. Dr. Alfred Thomp- son. M. P. for Yukon, who has Obtained this grant, will take surveyors with him into the ter ritory to start the work on his return to his constituency.
 At the present time the motor has penetrated into the heart of Africa, and almost everywhere else. Tourists go thousands ot miles in order to travel oven some road, hitherto unknown to the power car. And thus, when the motor road is finished into Dawson, it will not only open that Canadian city to the tourist traffic of the world, but attract tourists from many lands-Ot- tawa Free Press.
 The foregoing from the Otta- wa paper only serves to empha- size the argument advanced by this paper last week in favor oi an automobile road. not only from W'hilehorse to Dawson, but from Skagway to Dawson via Whiichorse. In the event of the construction of the latter, ten machines will tour Yukon to every one that will be seen if they are required to be ship ped from the coast to this place. A road suitable for autos from Whitehorse to Dawson will be a fine thing but one from Skag- way to Dawson would be ten times better.-Whitehorse Star.
