FOR BUILDING.

The reaction following the election
was manifest in the meeting of the
board of trade yesterday, for while
there wass a very good attendance,
there was an absence of interest in
questions that usually bring out ami
mated discussion. Realizing this sit
uation. President Hanley finally in
vited candidates in the late unpleas-
antness to explain how it happened.
Senator elect Donald A. Callahan re-
sponded to the invitation and stated
that since he was away up to the eve
of election endeavoring to help Others
he was unable TO throw any light on
how it happened here. but took occa-
sion to express his high appreciation
for the generous support given him
by his friends. He was followed by
John L. Fitzgerald, who had not Jared
so we'll as Mr.. Callahan, but who new
ertheless displayed a never-say- die
spirit He said he was shy 81 votes
for election as prosecuting attorney;
that Big Creek precinct was still to
hear from with a registration of 20
voters, which left him a chance to pull
out to the good, and that he was not
in the habit of quitting till the bell
rings.
DR.. H. c. Mowery, the successful
candidate for coroner, said he had
little to say. but in explanation of how
1t happened in his particular case. he
said there evidently were too many
crosses after Mowery instead of Cross.

appreciation for renewed evidence of
public confidence.

ISOLATION in Wallace or Kellogg, stated
that the proposition had also been
submitted to the business men of
Kellogg and to the large operators of
the district. For that reason the COM

signified their desire to hold the con-

Bond for Civ Buiidino
Judge d. H. belong stated that the
question of bonding the city for
building was one that the
business men of Wallace should be-
gin to consider, as the council would
probably have definite proposal to
submit in about two months The |
present fire station is inadequate to |
meet the requirements and Judge De-
Long said that the mayor and council !
at this time seemed disposed to limit |
the proposed bond issue to an amount |
sufficient to build a new fire station |
on the present site. to include prob
ably an Office for the city clerk and |
Jail Whether the people will desire
10 go further and erect a municipal
which will also contain
chamber offices for other city
officials, vault, etc. is matter which
should he discussed by the taxpayers
~ the time the council is ready to
move in the matter
