ORDINANCE:
TORECULATE
LIVERY CARS
CITY commissioners PASS ONE
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON COW
ERlNG THIS QUESTION - RE-
PsAlEO ANOTHER.

At a special meeting of the Board
of City commissioners yesterday Gf-
ternoon, section of Ordinance eos
was repealed and a substitute passed
to take it's place. This ordinance was
passed some time ago to regulate
auto livery licenses and fixed the
fee at $25 for each car. This precipi-
tated a storm of protest from livery
men and resulted in the city commits
sioners passing one yesterday fixing
the fee at $40 for each driver.
The local liverymen state that this
will amply protect them and be yhe
source of more revenue to the city.
In the past, especially in times Of
special occasions, such as circus days
or any other event that attracted
large crowds of people, several own
ers of cars from other cities have
made it a practice to come to this
city and engage in the livery business
for one day only, without paying a Ii
cense of any kind. This will be elimi-
mated in the future, and only those
who hold a drivers card and license
will be permitted to operate a car
for hire.

AMID ASIAN SHOWS
Campaigning in Winter Time At
tended by Hardshlps.
Russian officer Tells Of the Suffering
Endured by the Soldiers In Descent
From Snowclad Peaks Be-
fore koprlkeul.

Petrograd.-The successful campaign
of the Russians against the Turks In
Asia Minor has been carried out under
frightful weather conditions.
Some OF the hardships suffered by
the soldiers may be understood from
the following narrative by an officer
of the descent of his men from the
snowclad peaks before Koprikeui:
1--WE held position on the summit
eleven thousand feet above sea level.
Every morning there was a strong
wind, which drove before 1t masses of
snow, and drifted up our positions to
a depth of from ten to fifteen feet.
Our shelters, huts and kitchens were
all buried in snow. The wind was so
fierce that most of our huts were al
most blown to pieces, though they
were held together by wire.
This blizzard lasted for days, for
weeks, and 1t was impossible to keep
the huts clear. II you shifted one
spadeful OF snow, as likely as not the
wind would fling into It's place two or
three times the quantity. For whole
days together we were dependent on
artificial light. No one so much as
thought Of warm food during those
days. Not only were our kitchens
buried in snow. but we had no other
means OF heating water. The hurri-
cane howled and whistled through our
earth huts, and prevented us from
lighting the stoves which had been
placed In them. II one OF them was
lighted the wind filled the hut with
smoke, and the door had to be
opened to prevent suffocation. Our
lairs grew damp. cold and cheerless,

FIND DRINK EVIL GROWING
More Victims Found Among Women
In Manufacturing Towns In
Great Britain.

London.-Annual reports from the
minor courts of Lancashire show an
increase of drinking among women In
the manufacturing districts. At Roch-
dale the Justices records show that
in the year past 173 men and 1872 wom-
en- were arrested for drunkenness
against 22S men and only II women
in the previous year.. Rochdale's
prosperity, due to the fact that the
women of the laboring classes have
all the employment they want, and
in most cases sepai tion allowances
from soldier husbands, is held re-
sponsible for the increased drinking
There is one liquor license In the
town to every 272 women.
Nearly all of the manufacturing
places show similar results. The chief
constable of Wigan says that In the
past six months the number of women
visiting bars has almost doubled. A
few exceptional places show an i'm
provement in conditions.

his evidence in the criminal court,
where he was star witness against
William Edwards, charged with as

Edwards had an argument. Edwards
procured a revolver and shot at Lewis.
One bullet struck Lewis in the arm,
but he merely plucked II out and
threw It away. The second bullet
went through Lewis mouth while he
was smiling over the failure of the
first shat to do him injury. and 1t did
nothing more than loosen one OF his
teeth. He spat the leaden pellet out,

Edwards when the pair were sepa'

THE position became critical. The
wind grew colder and colder. Our
men were cut off from the surround
ing world by impenetrable walls Of
snow. There seemed to be no hope
OF rescue, But duty, that great word,
Kept us up, and not the sound of a
complaint or reproach was heard.
AT last we got orders to leave our
burrows above the clouds and de-
scend into the valley. We began the
incredibly difficult task OF finding our
way down precipices coated thickly
with snow. The men followed one
another In single file in endless
chains, forcing their way through the
deep snow with their chests. From
time to time rifle shots were fired to
guide those behind.
only after whole day of wander.
ing did we manage to assemble agail.
The detachment | was with marched
as follows: In front went 40 sappers,
who cleared away the snow with
spades. Then came the rank and file,
and after them a couple of guns, un.
der the escort of picked company;
then two more companies. and at
some distance from them another
company with the transport animals
and pack animals. Finally. in the
rear, came party of scouts. During
the march the storm rose to stupen-
dous fury. The paths cleared by the
sappers drifted up as rapidly as they
were made. and were blotted out
from view.
THE hurricane hurled upon US
dense clouds of snow. The men chung
together In groups 80 as not to lose
sight of one another. Icy snow pene-
trated into the texture of the uni.
forms, and the cloth was transformed
into a hard sheeting Of ice. Masks
OF Ice covered the soldiers features.

disappeared over precipice.
by Incredible exertions we some.
how managed to get our guns down
into the valley. Here we were re-
ceived by detachment stationed
there, who helped us with the final
work OF lowering the guns with
straps. We had done well. Despite
the incredible difficulties OF the path
and mountain steeps-under such con.
ditions, too--not a man had persisted;
not one had been left behind or lost.
At the close of our march we were
well rewarded for all we had gone
through by the panic which our un.
expected appearance called forth in
the Turkish trenches"

LAST INDIAN SLAVE DEAD
schickuIash Pete Had Lived for Many
Years Among White People In
State OF Washington.

At Hoquiam, Wash, Schickulash
Pete, believed to be the oldest man In
The Northwest and the last OF the
Grays Harbor Indian slaves. has just
died at the age of one hundred and ten
years. A.
Another Of the slaves, John Kettle,
died recently at the age of one huns
dred and Ave, and with the passing OF
Pete they have all now gone to the
happy hunting grounds, the New York
Sun states.
The old Indian. better known as
Humptulips Pete from the fact that
for more than thirty years he had
lived in the Humptulips valley, was q
resident Of Grays Harbor for rs years.
or since 1910, when he came with q
war party Of Indians from the Column
bia river to attack the harbor Indians.
The invaders, q large band, came
into the harbor in canoes and landed
AT James Rock, about six miles west
Of Hoquiam. There they camped for
the night, pulling their canoes high
up on the beach to be out of reach OF
the tide.
During the night the Indians OF the
harbor attacked the invaders and the
last big Indian battle Of the Grays
Harbor district was fought there.
Most OF the invaders were either
killed or captured, only a few escap-
ing. The captives were made prison
ers, and among their number were the
two Indians known after the white
men came as Humptulips Pete and
John Kettle.
Both were freed by the Governor
Stevens treaty with the Grays Harbor
Indians.
