Disque Is GriIled
With these new facts cleaned from
the testimony of Gen. Disque during

Full responsibility for building the
Clallam road was assumed by Disuue.
He said. however. that John ID.

board. had nothing TO do with the
contract. Ryan. because he was AN
official of the Milwaukee railroad,
Disque said. would have nothing to
do with the project Disque then
took II up directly with an assistant
secretary of war.
Disque was forced TO admit that
the road as built is IL miles longer
than the Deep Creek route. and does
not enter spruce timber for IS miles
OF its length. while the Deep Creek
line would have been in spruce prac-
tcally its entire distance. He said
he selected the route and the line
was built with the understanding
that the Milwaukee was to take IL
over after ten years at 10 per cent
less than cost.
Salary Is $4,000
Despite Disque's refusal to tell the
probers what his present salary is

he admitted having obtained by
means OF his close friendship with

its sixth year, having completed
five years Of existence.
Looking back over the five
years it's seems like a short time,
yet this community has seen
mach development during that
time, many new settlers have
moved in. and they have in fact
been FIVE very busy years and
that is perhaps what makes the
time seem 50 short. Among
some Of the improvements and
additions made in the village
during that time are the follow
ing:
The big Danish Lutheran
church was completed; an adj
dition larger than the original
was built to the school; two new
potato warehouses have been adj
ded and another is under con-
sfruction now, making four in
all; a coal shed has been built: a
large and modern feed store is
now being built by the Askov
Cooperative Association; a new
bank building. garage, barber
shop and meat market have been
built and a drug and variety
store has been established; a
large new hall by the D. B. S.
and several residences are also
being erected at this time; a
number of new residences have
been erected within the village
during the past five years; and
last but not least the village was
