bungalo style plan for the proposed
public library and rest room to be
built in the east end OF the park. The
building is to be 22x36, with a nine
foot ceiling. The library room will be
1922, and the rest room 1878, four
feet being cut off for closet, toilet and
lavatorY. There is a very neat porch

THE FIFTH FIRE IN
BUSINESS DISTRICT
Since May 81 Occurred Wednesday
Morning in ROaCh'S Shoe and Har-
ness Store

The fire alarm Wednesday morning
called the citizens out for the fifth
time in the past three months, all oc-
curing in the business district of the
city. During the same period OF time
two small fires in the residence dis
trict occurred, which did not, how
ever amount to much, the loss being
slight. The fire loss in the business
district, with the exception OF the
Seeley fire, Aug. 9th, was in each in
stance considerable.
The Chas. Roach fire occurred
Wednesday morning Sept. Q, between
one and one-thirtJ o'clock in the
morning, and originated in the rear
end, perhaps in the upstairs hall,
which is usually left open at both ends
and is known to have had considera-
BILE accumulation of trash. The loss
is restricted to two story frame build
ing in which the fire originated, and
is located between the three story
Barclay hotel and the two story brick
King block. The building loss in the
frame building is total as it is badly
damaged and can not under the fire
ordinance be rebuilt. It is estimated
to be worth about 50, 500. The dam
age to the shoe and harness stock is
estimated at $4,000 to $4,000. The
damage to the rear end of the King
block will not fall short of s. 10.
E. E. Carlquist suffered a loss
caused by water and breaking OF glass
estimated at 500. The loss on the
Barclay hotel will not exceed 800.
The frame building belonged to w.
C. Roach, brother of the proprietor OF
the shoe and harness store and was
insured for 81 500, and valued at $2,-
500 The stock and fixtures in the
shoe and harness store Of Chas. Roach
was insured Tor IS, 900, $1,000 on fix
lures and $4,000 on stock. Many OF
the fixtures are total loss and the
stock is very badly damaged by water
and smoke. How the fire originated
is not known.
This was the fifth fire in the bust
ness district in just three months and
has caused considerable comment.
The question, Is there fire bug in
Leavenworth" has been passed around.
The first of the five fires above re-
ferred to occurred on Sunday morning
May 81, in which the Clifford hotel. a
small frame building occupied by B..
N. Day, Jap hotel, the Lobby Bar.
and Jap laundry and building. The
loss was approximately $50, 900. The
next fire happened Sunday morning
July IL. In this fire the stock OF the
Hub clothing store was almost COM
pleteiy destroyed. The damage to
the building, a substantial brick was
about $500, and loss on stock SO, 900.
The fire in the Seeley tin shop oc-
cured Thursday Aug. 6. The loss
on stock amounted to $500, and on
building about 5000. This fire oc-
CURED in the middle Of the afternoon.
The other four all occurred between
1880 and 2:30 in the morning. The
fourth fire occurred Thursday Aug.

blacksmith shops and one residence

horses. The loss was estimated about

LOT OF BUSINESS BEFORE
COUNCIL TUESDAY NIGHT
The River Street Grading Contract Mat
ter May Get Into the
Court


With the exception OF Councilmen
Hamilton and Jones the official family
was all present Tuesday night, with
sprinkling Of interested taxpayers.
After batch Of bills were allowed
reports and communications were ta-
ken up and disposed Of
The State Fish Hatchery had an
application in for water rates. The
city engineer was instructed to ascer-
tain how much water they wanted be-
fore rate would be made.
Representing J. c. Massie, success
full bidder for the River street improve
ment in district No. 8, attorney Mel
son said that there were defects in the
proceedings which rendered the i'm
provement bonds unstable. The orig
inal petition on which the improve
ment was ordered was lost. Whether
the clerk, the city attorney or Coun-
Gilman Jacobsen was responsible was
debated at some length without reach
ing a solution. Mr.. Nelson also con-
tended that the resolution authorizing
the improvement should have re-
ceived five instead Of a majority vote
to conform with ordinance No. 100,
and that the notice calling for bids
was insufficient. These points were
combatted by City Attorney Fox as
immaterial and the council finally de-
cided to authorize the mayor and
clerk to sign the contract on the part
Of the city, and there the matter hangs.
City Engineer and Water Commis-
sioner Barnum was instructed to turn
in a payroll every month, showing
who he employed and how much
money was spent by his department.
Fifty feet of fire hose was ordered to
replace the section burned in the
Front street fire May 81.
The street committee was instructed
to notify property owners on CONNER
cial street to replace sidewalks des-
troyed in the fire Of Aug. 81, in ten
days.
Miss Mary Ralston and J. B. Cahill,
owners of lots on Front street, where
improvements had been ordered, thru
Attorney L. J. Nelson, filed ebjec-
tions to making the improvement on
the ground that it was too expensive
to put in cement sidewalks and also
because the city had no title to the
ground on which the improvement
was ordered. The city attorney was
instructed to draft the ordinance au-
thorizing the sidewalks to be made.
The request for permission to build
library and rest room in the east end
Of the city park was unanimously
granted, on condition that like per
mission be gotten from the Great
Northern railroad company, who hold
title to the ground.
The matter of the eligibility of H.
S. Delamater as deputy marshal was
brought up by Mayor Woldenberg,
who stated that he did not know at the
time he appointed Mr.. Delamater that
he lived outside the city limits. At
torney Fox being appealed to stated
that the law was the same now as when
he stated that ]. F. Pratt was ineli-
gible because not residing in the city
limits. The matter finally went over
for future action.
A numerously signed petition was
presented asking that the ordinance
relating to the burning OF rubbish be
enforced.

wherein marriage has beeen wrong
fully considered, and wherein two
children are sacrificed to the self

latter are divorced and each mar

their actions becomes pitiful, but

ELL MEADORS TALKS ABOUT LIARS

"Speakin' of liars" remarked El Meadors, there was George Vosburg, who was the most in- veterate liar 1 ever saw. His
 brother told me that George com

 He would lie about his crops and about his stock and about hs family and especially about him. self.
