CITY COUNCIL MEETS
IN REGULAR SESSION
Joe MaSSie Awarded Contract for Work
On Improvement District No. s.
Big Improvement Planned

At the regular meeting Tuesday
night beside Mayor Woldenburg Coun-
cilmen Hamilton, Sauer, Jacobsen and
Wheeler were present.
The first matter to come up was a
protest from Miss Mary Ralston, F. B.
Cahill, and the Occidental Realty Co.,
to the proposed improvement of lots 7,
g, 10 and IL, in block /, OF Ralston
addition, by building sidewalks and re-
tanning walls in front of certain lots on
Front street. The petition was ordered
filed, and the matter Of going on with
the improvement Immediately disposed
of by ordering the improvement pro-
ceedings to 60 on.
A motion was made that the mayor
appoint committee of two to confer
with the railroad company, the Lamb
Davis Lumber Co., and other property
owners in reference to improving that
portion of Front street between where
the fire recently occurred and west Of
the gulch where the old wooden foot
way now spans the gulch by building a
retaining wall and filing in to reason
able height up to the railroad track in
order to make an easy grade between
the portions OF town now separated by
a deep gulch. Councilmen Jacobsen
and Hamilton were appointed on the
committee. This is much needed
improvement and will obviate the
necessity of rebuilding the old wagon
bridge and will also cut out a steep
hill on the road to the Lamb-Davis
Lumber mill.
Bids for the work in Improvement
District No. 8, beginning at the inter
section of Ninth and Commercial street
to Main or Riverside st. and to the L.
Lamb bungalow. H. Stoltze's bid was
S12, ,6o8 and ]. c. Massie's, $o,517.68.
On condition that the bid should be
considered lump sum bid for the
work to be done according to plans
and specifications the work was award
ed to Mr.. Massie, and the city attorney
ordered to draw up a contract to that
effect.
There was some informal discussion
about the drawing Of $1,000 warrant
in favor of H. Stoltze, the sewer con-
tractor, at a previous meeting. 1t ap-
peared that it was a mistake for the
clerk to draw a warrant on the general
fund, as it should have been drawn on
the district improvement fund.

LOCATED AT LAST.
THE LOST is FOUND.
Louis W. Hill, President of the Great
Northern Railway Lost to the World
for "a Hours

For the benefit of suffering humanity,
and likewise suffering newspaper scribes
who marveled much at the sudden and
mysterious disappearance Of Mr.. Hill
on his way from Seattle to St. Paul
last Sunday his disappearance is here
accounted for. For 24 hours the
lynx-eyed sleuths Of the press could
not locate him. They were as much
in the dark as was Moses when the
light went out" He was as much lost
to anxious newspaper reporters and the
world as were the fabled Babes in the
Woods" in fact he was lost in the
woods (and mountainsl Of Chelan
county.
Lost only, however, to the ubiqui-
tous and anxious newspaper reporters
OF Wenatchee. Mr.. Hill knew the la
mentable failure OF Ponce de Leon to
find the fountain OF youth, and having
heard CT a spring located in Chelan
county, told of in Indian song and
story as possessing wonderful recupera-
tive. revivifying and age destroying
microbe qualities, and he wanted to
know for himself if this was not what
the Spanish traveller was looking for
when he lost the Bloom Of Youth,
in the Everglades of Florida. Last
Sunday morning Mr.. Hill and Mr..
]. T. Costello, the latter traffic
manager of the system, slept of
a private car at Winton, where they
were met by Mr.. Geo. L. Gardner
and Mr.. F. c. Riggs, respectively gen
eral manager and superintendent of the
Lamb Davis Lumber Co.'S big saw
milling plant in Leavenworth, and
driven up to Lake Wenatchee, from
whence they proceeded to well known
and somewhat famous soda spring To-
Gated on the Little Wenatchee river,
seven miles from the lake. When
the party reached the spring Mr.. Hill
is said to have quaffed goblet after
goblet of the cold. sparkling waters Of
the spring, and in accents that even
the bears that are thick in that
section heard, shouted Eureka. "
The soda water was pronounced even
better and more efficacious than that
vended at the Washington Hotel bar to
thirsty, throat parched jewellers with a
dark brown taste, the morning after.
In truth the verdict was unanimous
that the water was the long sought
elixir Of youth.
After returning to the lake the party
motored thru the Wenatchee Park iri-
CATION district and on to Leavenworth,
where Mr.. HilPs eye caught sight of
our park and made complimentary
reference to it. From here the party
proceeded to Wenatchee where Mr..
Hills special car had preceded him.
Here he was taken in charge by a
commercial club committee that had
had conniptions over his unaccountable
absence, with never word Of explain
alton about his mysterious non est
comeatabus ct swampo.

TWO lEAVENWORTH CITIZENS
ANSWER THE LAST CALL
Mrs. J. S Smith Saturday MOrning-Mr.
R. ]. Smith Sunday Eyening-NO
Relation

Robt. ]. Smith died last Sunday
evening between six and seven o'clock,
aged Sc yeas, Of Bright's disease,
from which he had been a sufferer for
several years. Since his wife died, on
the 2oth OF May last, he had been
confined to his bed, and for the past
two weeks had been a constant but
patient sufferer. Mr.. Smith came to
Leavenworth in 1899 and followed the
occupation OF locomotive engineer for
three years. In 1900 the family re-
moved to Leavenworth from Michigan.
Mr.. Smith was of quiet, retiring dis
position, devoted to his family and
held in high esteem by all who knew
him. He is survived by two brothers
and sister, who resides in Seattle and
was here thru his last illness. OF the
two brothers, Fred resides in Marshal,
Michigan, and Walter in Long Branch,
Washington. The four children who
survive all reside here, Misses Belle
and Susan, and Robert, employed by
the Mutual Mercantile Co., and Will
liam building contractor.
Funeral services were held in the
Congregational church Monday even
ing and burial took place in the Leav-
enworth cemetery at D. m,
Saturday morning, August l, Mrs.
Devira Smith, aged 50 years, 10 months
and II days, was found dead in her
bed. Mrs. Smith was apparently in
the best Of health for one of her years
and only the night before had spent the
evening at the carnival with her hus-
band and her daughter, Mrs. D. c.
Town. On the morning Of her death
she arose at $3.50 to welcome home her
son and his wife who had just returned
from Missouri where they were married
several weeks ago. After about an
hours talk with her son she returned
to her room and laid down for her last
sleep. She passed away without a
struggle and it is believed that death
was due to heart trouble probably
brought on by her great joy in seeing
her son again who has been absent
several months. She lived only an hour
after seeing her son and his wife. Mr..
Smith was the first to discover his wife's
death when on arising shortly after S
o'clock he called to her and she failed
to respond. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were
very devoted couple and the husband
is heart broken with grief.
Mrs. Smith has made her home here
for the past four years and was loved
by all who made her acquaintance.
She is survived by her husband, six
sons, four daughters, 33 grand child
rem and seven great grandchildren, all
OF whom attended the funeral except
two sons who are in the east. She
was lifelong member of the Christian
church and was recognized for her
faithful service. She belonged to the
Royal Neighbors of America for sew
eral years.
The funeral was held from the Con-
gregational church in Leavenworth
Sunday at 6 p. m. and Was largely at
tended. Rev. w. V. Davis officiated.
Interment was made in the Leaven-
worth cemetery. A. J. Templeton Of
Wenatchee had charge OF the funeral
services.
