MOTORCYCLE AND
AUTO IN COLLISION

Walter Newport met with an
accident Tuesday evening which
has necessitated him using a
cTutch since that time. Shortly
after seven o'clock he was rid
ing down College avenue on his
motorcycle and at Second street
he collided with J. E. Williams
automobile, which was travelling
east on Second. Neither machine
was going fast but in the dark
ness neither saw the other in
time to prevent the collision.
Newport was thrown from his
motorcycle and pinned beneath
il under the automobile, which
had to be lifted off before he
could be released. One foot was
badly cut and he lost consider
able blood before the injury was
dressed. The injury is not
considered serious.

weeks looking over the reserva-
ton with a view to selecting a
claim.
He states that there are only
few claims on the reservation
that are worth filing on and all
of them have been picked by
persons holding numbers ahead
of his. In his opinion there are
not over fifty claims which are
valuable on the whole reserva-
ton. He states that the per-
son who held number GO left the
reservation without making a Sc
lection after spending several
weeks looking over the entire
reservation. The most valuable
of the claims were taken by In
dians as allotments, leaving
very few for those who secured
numbers at the drawing.

Two Ladies
On School Board
LARGE VOTE AT SCHOOL ELECTION
Mrs. c. Il. Gregory and Mrs. B. A. Johnson Win
in Field Of Nine Contestants

A great deal of interest was
taken in the school election held
Tuesday and a large vote, over
three hundred, was polled. There
were nine candidates voted for
and the result was a complete
victory for the ladies', Mrs. C. H.
Gregory and Mrs. b. A. Johnson
being elected.
The three women's clubs of the
city had previously agreed upon
Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Johnson
as their candidates but this had
been kept quiet and was not
generally known until after the
polls had been opened in the
afternoon, in fact it was not
generally known that Mrs. john
son was candidate until her
nomination was made at the
opening Of the polls.
There were 332 votes cast with
two directors to be elected. The
vote stood: F. H. Trummel, 60;
E. NJ. Davis, 20; Mrs. B. A. john
son, 80; Mrs. C. H. Gregory, 1889;
w. V. Caswell, l9; Ray M. john
son, So; A. P. Bunt, rs; Oscar
Brown, 80; and E. A. holland, 40.
Mrs. Gregory received more
votes than any other two candi-
dates combined, Mrs. Johnston
standing second and leading her
nearest competitor by eight
votes.
The retiring members of the
board are o. E. Haley and E. M.
Davis. Mr.. HALEY was serving
the unexpired term of A. B. An
mis-, who resigned two years ago,
Mr.. Davis has served two terms
on the board. This is the first
time in the history Of the city
that a lady has been elected on
the board and the first time the
women's organizations have
taken an active interest in any
election. II is an object lesson
of what the women can accom-
lplish in politics if they will acl
together.

the ground and a small sawmill
for this purpose is being erected
on the creek about three miles

and Tuesday primary election,
the regular monthly meeting Of
the city council was not held un-
til Wednesday evening. Two
members of the council, Hans
com and Pruitt, were absent, as
was also City Clerk Schultz.
Quite a number of persons
owning property on Spokane ave-
nue. were present and protested
against fifty feet of that avenue
being vacated for the railroad
company. The ordinance va
eating that portion of the street
had already passed the council
and these property owners asked
the council TO reconsider the
matter. When asked why they
did not file protests before the
ordinance passed. the property
owners replied that they did not
known any such proposition was
before the council until after the
ordinance had been passed.
The ordinance, as passed, va
Gated the south Atty feet of the
street and the railroad company
wishes TO use that portion for
sidetracks. This leaves the
street only 80 feet wide and the
property owners contend that it
destroys the value Of their prop
erty fronting on this street.
After considerable discussion
the matter was referred TO the
street and alley committee.
The old question of the side
walk on the dock along the water
front was brought up again by
Councilman Stickney and, as al
ways. created lively discussion.
The walk is in a dangerous con-
dition and is unsafe for children
to cross on their way to school.
AS is always the case when
this matter comes before the
council, the question of whether
this is a private walk or a pub
lie thoroughfare came up and
was threshSd over again. The
walk never was dedicated to the
city but has been used as a pub
lie thoroughfare for a long time.
The question is whether this use,
coupled with the fact that the
city has maintained street
light on it and exercised police
authority over it was an accep-
tance Of it as a public thorough
fare which would make the city
liable for damages for any acci-
dent which might occur on it.
City Attorney Taylor would not
state positively what the law is,
saying that IL was q close ques-
tion and the courts might hold
the city liable. IL was suggest
ed that friendly suit be started
to test the question. No de-
cision in regard to a suit was
reached.
The general idea seemed to be
that if the walk had been used &c
the city had acquired title TO il
the same as a street and coulC
compel property owners TO builC
sidewalks the same as on an!
other street, the city would as
sumo jurisdiction and order Z
new sidewalk built.
AS a preliminary to this th'
city engineer was directed L
survey out the meander line o
the river and ascertain whethe
the walk is on private propert,
CT over the river. II the latte

o. N. Mosely and A. B. Ami
appeared before the board in re
lation TO a sidewalk on the sout
side OF Main street between II
and 9th. II appears that tn
city has no title across one 0
these lots and before a sidewal
can be pu in title will have I
be secured. The city Rttorne
was instructed 10 start condem

the wholesale houses that certain essen
tial drugs which have been impossible
to obtain for some time had been pro-
cured by the arrival Of the Deutchland,

prices asked for many of the drugs was
prohibitive. as most Of the cargoes con-
sisted of dyes of various sorts. Ich-
